LITERARY BULLS.
For Instance, the "Groan that
 GurgIes from the Slain."

For Instance, the "Groan that
 GurgIes from the Slain."
 Macaulay orce reviewed a poem in which a climax of absurdity was reached with this line:
 And hearst each groan that gurgles from
 the slain.
 The poetic license which lets a groan gurgle from d slain man is capable of letting him walk into town from the field of battle, collect the amount of his life insurance policy and hand it to his widow. This brings to mind the heroic warrior of whom 1t is said that thrice he slew the slain and the Irish member of Parliament who convulsed the House of Commons by exclaiming that he would die as a soldier first and a man afterward.
 But, strange to say Macaulay him. self has made a similar blunder. In his Battle of Lake Ragillus" the fol- lowing lines occur:
 The shouting of the slayers
 And screeching of the slain.
 Did these writers make these slips in the heat of battle, or were they testing the intellectual acuteness of their readers? There is story of a German schoolmaster who used to call out his class in history and begin to tell them of the Thirty Years War. "Ies, children he would say, "tlis is a subject in which I am especially inter- ested. as my grandfather often told me about 1t. He was a well-to-do innkeep- CT, and one day as he was standing iI. his doorway q mounted soldier came galloping up at a furious rate. What's the matter? asked my grandfather. Matter enough answered the dragoon. Don't you know that the Thirty Years War has begun to-day?" At this point the ancient pedagogue would pause and survey his class. Then a smile would overspread his rubicund countenance if a hand was raised and a boyish treble asked how the dragoon knew the war would last thirty years. Perhaps our poets, too, would play the schoolmas- ter and smile if we should ask them how 1t is possible for the slain to groaD or screech Gazette-Times.

He was visited by large number of

brought him presents of fruit and sake
and who expressed their intention of
being on hand to banzai for him next
Saturday night.
At present Mitsuka seems to be a

kAMS WIN
FROM OAHU
From Saturdays Advertiser)

(From Saturdays Advertiser.)
They had things doped out wrong.
Kamehameha either belittled their
ability to play, or else the knowing
ones are poor judges of the Rams
ability at baseball.
Interscholastic baseball opened yes
terday at the Kamehameha grounds,
the owners of the field and the nine
doing battle for Punahou, crossing
bats in the first game of the season;
a game which the Hams won by 5-3
score.
The prophets had it fixed up that
the Rams would lose this game. The
Hams themselves gave it out that they
were hardly satisfied with the team
which was to represent the school on
the diamond, but that they would do
their best. They did, and while the
best was not good ball, for the first
scheduled game, very little more could
have been expected.
Errors without number were made,
and a few chances for stolen bases
which presented themselves were not
taken.
Scoring honors for the Hams lay
with Mackenzie, who played in left
field. Out of the five runs which the
Rams scored, he made two. Naeole,
Murray ana Ordensteln, old and ia
miliar faces in the Kan lineup, show
ed that thev have benefited by their
experience gained last year.
Bill Desha did not live up to- his pre-
Hous record. Five times at bat, he
failed to score a run, and only in the
first inning, when he was the first man
up, did he manage to make third. Jack
showed up better. One of the three
runs put to Punahou's credit was made
by him. Desha uses his head, and can
give the rest of the team on which he
plays valuable pointers on base hold
ing.
For a battery the Puns had "Skin-
start, though at the beginning of the
eighth Lyman entered the pitcher s
box, while Chi Bui donned the catch
er's nit. The Kan battery consisted
of Kalimaipehu and Lota.
The lineup of both teams in bat
ting order, together with the positions
which they played, follow:
Kamehameha : Mackenzie, If; Ka-
maiopili, eff; Naeole, IS; Murray, 1b;
Lota, p; Kalimipehu, C; Ordenstein,
2b; Akana, IF; JOSHUA, 3b.
Punahou-W. Desha, If; c. Lyman,
C; j. Desha, SIS; Lowrey, 2b; Lidgate,
Akana, IF; Hogs. 3b; Davis, p; Town
send. cf.
The next game will be played at the
Kamehameha grounds on Monday be
tween the Rams and the High Schools.

The match race run yesterday af-
ternoon at Kapiolani park did not at
tract a very big crowd although the
regulars were out in good force.
The distance was three-eights and
the starters were w Beckley's gray
mare Launiuma, late Exchange Five,
and the sorrel gelding Shamrock,

local track.
Opiopio was up on the mare and

She acted as if sick and her racing

other public buildings in the city. In

KAMS MAINTAIN
WINNING STREAK

The team which Kamehameha was
not satisfied with won another game
yesterday afternoon. The nine repre-
senting the High School suffered an
overwhelming defeat at their hands,
1872 being the score.
The game was played on the win
ners' ground and that may account in
some measure for the Rams taking
the first two games.
Interscholastic fans are awaiting
with some interest the day when the
Kan team will meet the Punahous on
the latter's field. Things are expect
ed to turn out a bit differently then
at least, that is what Punahou's sup
porters are saying and hoping.
The Highs were the first to bat. Sin
Hun was first with the club. No High
School man had a run chalked up to
AIS credit until the eighth inning,
when Sin Hun redeemed himself
somewhat by a hit which brought in
the first run for the wearers of the
black and gold. Chez, who pitched,
followed tine example set him by Hun.
and also managed to get a run. That
ended the run-making as far as the
Highs were concerned.
Scoring honors with the Kams have
to be divided between Mackenzie, Ka-
maiapili Naeole, Milikaa and Josiah.
With the exception of Naeole, who
scored three runs, these batters made
two runs apiece.
In the eighth inning the Highs
switched about lot, shifting positions
in the hope of Strengthening their
team. The change was a good one.
and had the Highs made IT earlier in
the day a better showing in runs
might have resulted, as it was in the
eighth inning that the Highs scored
their two runs.
The game was devoid of sensation |
al features. Errors a-plenty were
made by both teams.
The personnel of the mines follows: |
Kamehameha-Mack Kamaio- |
pill, Naeole, Melikaa, Lota, Kalfma-
pehu, Ordenstein, Akana, Josiah.
High School-Sin Hun, NJ. Chez, Nor
ton, Chillingworth, Rice, White, Ma
ruichi, Andrews, Gilliland.
