TURNING BACK THE CLOCK.

Large political conventions, sup

always have their weak spots. It's hui

but when weakness passes all reason
and gives way to the sway of super
stition. it is high time for protest.
AT the national democratic conven-
ton at Denver last week the supersti-

John Bunyan wrote "The Pilgrims
Progress" in Bedford Jail, where he
was confined for his religion. A Quaker
came to the prison and thus addressed
him:
Friend Bunyan, the Lord hath sent
me to seek for thee, and / have been
thru several countries in search of
thee, and now l am glad ! have found
thee
Bunyan replied, Friend, thou dost
not speak truth in saying the Lord sent
thee to seek for me, for the Lord we'll

some years, and If he had sent thee he
would have sent thee directly. "-Scrap

CRICKET TRIP
PROBABLY ON

It looks now as though the visit of
the Honolulu cricket eleven to Maui
were an assured fact. Word comes
from Mr.. Williamson of Puunene that
so far as he can see now, there will
be nothing in the way of match in
Kahului on November II.
Tt seems that the Mauinese are short
one or two of their best players and
viii have to fill in with Kahului base
ball players. This, however, will not
stand in the way of the trip, as the
game is purely and simply for the sport
of the thing, and neither team looks
upon victory as d necessary part of a
good game and good time
This is very good news for the local
players. Those who were unable to go
this month were genuinely disappoint-
ed, and there was much expression of
a wish to have the trip arranged for
later date. Even though the class IF
cricket played is not quite up to M. C.
G. standard, the friendly feeling be-
tween the sportsmen of the two islands
IS firmly cemented for another year and
the trip does everybody lot of good
in every way.

1t was, perhaps, the finest tennis ever
seen IN Honolulu that was played on
the Beretania courts yesterday after
noon. The result of the tournament is
yet undecided as darkness fell before
three sets were finished.
When time was called on account of

won the first set So and Castle and

set stood one all. The match will be

made for each game, may be obtained
when it is said that it took them one
hour and twenty minutes to play two

forth between advantage and deuce a
great number of times.
Both teams were in perfect condition
Only the very hardest shots were al
lowed to pass by and some of the re-
turns were not short of marvellous.
The serving too was far better than
has been seen here for some time. All
four players seemed to have worked up
to this point and to have been gaining
skill and accuracy with every game
they played in both tournaments. It
was seldom that a server had recourse
to the second ball and some of those
serves came over with such swiftness
that only experts such as were playing
could have attempted to negotiate
them.

KALAN|ANAOLE
LEAGUE MEETS
Schedule for First Series Is
Arranged and All the De-
tails Settled.

The high moguls of the Kalanianaole
league met last night and arranged all
the details for the coming series. There
was a full representation, for the sim
pile reason that this league consistently
fines any team that is not represented
at the league meetings.
In the absence of Enos Vincent, the
president, f. S. Kong took the chair,
and the bunch was not long in getting
down to business. Representatives,
present were E. S. Kong, vice presi-
dent; A K Vierra, secretary; Chi Bui
Farm, for c. A. Cs. Fred Luning and
y. o. Vierra, for Aalas; NJ. T. Marshall,
f-Ir., and w. w. Marshall, for the Twi-
Nights; s. Sarayasu, for the J. A. Cs.;
and J. X Motley and Sam Hop, for the
Honolulu White Sox. There was pres
ent, also, reporter from the Adver-
fiser, so that, of course, the following
account is correct in every detail:
The first business was sprung by the
Aalas. They said that they wanted it
known that they had nothing to do
with the Eheu kids. GIVE have no
wet eyes" they said; "neither do we
hunt round for hoodoos. We are the
only original Aalas. Tt was then
moved and seconded that they be
dubbed the "Adam and Eve" kids,
which was passed mem. con.
The next matter was the choosing of
an official scorer. Mariposa was imme-
-diately selected for the victim. The
reporter then stated that the big tree
kid was going away, so it was moved
and seconded that the chair appoint a
committee of three to stake Mariposa
out on the diamond with twenty-foot
chain so that he could not leave. A.
X. Vierra was appointed the commit
tee of three.
With regard to a press agent, the
matter was discussed very solemnly for
some time. Finally Tin Chong was Sc
leeted and Chi Bui was APPOINTED to
purchase a typewriter and 1000 rolls of
paper out of his own pocket. He ac-
'eepted his honors unblushinglv and
wiggled a trifie uncOmfortablv in his
chair, but he didn't say anything.
p When the matter of implements of
warfare came mp, it was stated that
the baekstOp was in poor condition, so
j. X. Motley was appointed a commit
tee of six to borrow crochet needle |
and fix il up. J. X. objected strenu-

of that kind of work, but he was ST !

MARIPOSA TO
VISIT KAUAI

Bill Raposo, commonly known as
Mariposa, the big tree kid, is about
to leave us. He is going to Kauai to
embellish the Eleele plantation with
his beaming presence.
This will be a sad loss for all local
baseball teams. Aala Park will no
longer shine on Sunday afternoons
under the benefcent influence of his
allembracing smile. His agile pencil
will no longer credit and debit, with
nimble dots, the bingles and errors of
aspiring players.
Well, good luck to you, Mariposa,
If we suffer loss by your going, the
other island will gain as much, and we
shall expect to hear of a great boom

arrival.

SMOKER AT
COUNTRY CLUB

The evening entertainment to follow
the picked sides tournament on full
moon day, Saturday, November Z, will
take the form of a chowder and smok-
ing concert to follow. The talent will
all be drawn from members of the
club and will be of a high order, as
some of the golfers have fine voices
and many of them are there with the
piano-playing and other stunts.
Entries for the tournament will not
close until Saturday afternoon, when
two sides will be picked up and play
against each other, probably once round
the links
