WALKING
AT HIL0

HILO, December 31.-Among the ar
rivals by the steamer Mauna Kea yes
terday were Dick Sullivan and H. M
Ayres who are matched to walk mile
at the racetrack on saturday after
noon for purse.
These two men took part in a two
mile race in Honolulu recently, thir-
ty starting. Sullivan and Ayres fin
ished first and second, there being sew
en- seconds between them.
They are matched to walk over the
same course on Jan. II for a silver
cup and substantial side bet.
Saturdays race should be a good
one as poth men are very equally
matched at the distance.
Ayres, it will be remembered, beat
Bob Burns in Hilo in 1901 and 1902.
Sullivan, who is the champion mid
dle-weight boxer of the Territory, an
nounces that he is open to box any
man in Hilo, any number of rounds at
any time, should a suitable induce
ment be forthcoming.
1t is rumored that the spirit of true
Christian brotherly love, that should
exist between fellow men, is somewhat
lacking in the cases of Jockeys Willis
and Lane, on the one side, and Fer
reira on the other. 1t will be remem-
bered that after Ferreira returned to
Honolulu from taking part in the
Fourth of July events, he character
lied Hilo as place full of thugs.
Jockey Ferreira's import Guess
Again" is Little Joker, an old time
Coast runner. 1t has ben sold to a
hui of Japanese and a match race may
be made for tomorrow or Saturday.
The Hilo Railroad has arranged for
special return trains to run to Puma
that those who come to town to see
the races on Friday and Saturday can
return home, each day. as soon as the
last event is finished.
Jockey Willis was an invited guest
to a Christmas tree entertainment at
the Salvation Army hall, on Tuesday
evening, and received = toy hobby
horse of which he is very proud.
A prize of five dollars will be given
to the winner of each fiat race in the
track events at Hoolulu Park tomor-
row.
The hammer throwing will take
place at II a. m. tomorrow at Hooulu
Park, other events between the horse
races.
Next to the Merchants purse, the
pacing race will attract most attention
at Hoolulu Park tomorrow. There
will be some new blood on the track
both in drivers and horse flesh.
Some of the Japanese sports seem
to be afraid of the unknown from
Maui.

9ashes thus obtained go to make a soil
suitable for tobacco growing.
