ground OF .he heihei waa. or profess
Ssoual canosmsn. they would come in
preferably immediately after a great
storm. tor miles before a series of
mountain comberS.
Ne kalai waa was the expert canoe
builder Of the old days. who would be
welcomed most heartily today by the
Outrigger Club.
The oahu Walking Club might per-
haps take charge Of the reviving the
profession Of the kukini. or official
whose marvellous feets so
asronished Captain Cook. 1t is said
that there were men in the days of
the Great who could run
entirely around the island of Oahu in
half a day. Ed. Towse, Of the Oahu
Walking Club, has followed many of
these old messenger trails and declares
that they drop over precipices and
make short cuts that would give palpi- |
tation Of the heart to many a stout |
walker Of today On Hawaii, 1t is
claimed that these marvellous foot J
racers would be sent sixty miles away
10 secure fresh fish for the king, and I
return with them alive. Many were /
the famous racers. in the old days be- I
tween rival celebrities. but there were /
no hundred-yard dashes. The foot /
races OF the old Hawaiians were the (
real thing and contestants sometimes /
dropped dead in their tracks.
Next in honor TO the kings messen-
gers. perhaps. were the wrestlers. There [,
were the pull. or men who wrestled /
by placing their hands upon each /
others shoulders and then closing in, |
and the kulakulai. who were up in the /
art Of catch-as-Catch-can. Their object I.
being 10 push each other down. very (
much as the japanese wrestle today. /
Then there were the spear throwers, .
of three grades, the laumeki was the
small spear. the lodging and catching
n which was Kamehameha's chief de- |
light. There was a long spear to throw |
al the enemy and another ribbed with |
sharks teeth for close contact.
one ancient game pretty sure t. be /
revived is maika, or the rolling of the |
Did Hawaiian discus. or circular stone, |
along the ground. There is an old ma
.hese old stones are stil to be found
