The playing members of the Chinese

champagne drunk from the Chilling
worth champion mug at the luau given
yesterday afternoon to celebrate their
victories in the KaIanianaoIe league
series. And individually and collec-

by the hundred or so friends at the
luau.
The feast of victory, elaborate and
lavish, was given on Vineyard street,
near Nuuanu, two long tables, fern be-
decked and palm empowered being
spread in the yard. The tables were
sheltered by large marquee, decor
ated with green and white, the pretty
eolors of the club, the whole scene be-
ing a gay one Throughout the Iuau
Hawaiian orchestra played enliven-
ing music. The Chinese boys proved
themselves to be excellent hosts, max
ing their many guests feel perfectly at
home and feeding them with all the
dafnties that go to make up a com
plete Hawaiian iuau
At the head of the tables sat A. K
Vierra, the president of the league, who
officially presented the Chinese Athletic
Club with the Chillingworth cup and also
gave into their keeping the KaIani-
anaole trophy, which has been won
once by the c. A. C. IS and which goes
to them to defend against all Corners.
With him was seated Soong Bo Tung,
the English secretary of the Chinese
Consulate, who with Mr. Lo, the Chi
nese secretary, represented the Con-
sulate for the occasion. With them, at
the head of the table, were the play
ing members of the champion team.
Facing these league representatives, at
the other end of the long table. were

Chinese Alohas, two of the other teams
in the league. The japanese team was
not represented at the luau. W. T.
Raposo, the vice president of the
league, was seated with the other team
representatives.
The Chinese athletics have every
reason to feel proud of their posses
sion of the Chillingworth cup and the
championship of their league for 1908.
Their victory was won after some of

of the matches in which they engaged |
would be notable baseball games In any
country. Up TO the very finish they |
fought out their tie with the Kaalas, |
neither nine weakening for a minute |
in the struggles that heightened out to /
ten, twelve and more innings. They |
played baseball all the time, display
in ba Of cd
score and a steadiness when the tables |
turned that are an example to the mines /
of the city's major league And above I
all, though they share this merit in
common with the majority of the base
ball players of the city. they played /
the game for the games sake with |
never a thought of money benefit.
