Il On the whole, it seemed as If Oahu

horses. This was evident particularly
after each close scramble when the ball
was shot out from under the feet of
Z five or six ponies. a race invariably
ensued, and it was seldom that Oahu
came out second best.
Kauai has a teamwork aggregation.

strokes, and it seemed as if Kauai was
