Complete Rules for Haieiwa
Race---S0me Hints for
Training.

This is the day when most of the
entries for the Haleiwa race may be
expected to come in. Yesterday there
were many inquiries and a few scatter
ed entries but most of the boys seem
to be putting off until this afternoon,
when they will have time to get away
from work and go to the place of entry.
Several have telephoned in their en-
tries but this, of course, is not official
as the entry must be made personally
to Mr.. Vierra and the entrance forfeit
deposited. Those who telephoned were
not in position to get up town and
register personally but they announced
their intention of doing so this after
noon. Among them were two wiry a!h'
letes from the Marine Corps who may
be expected to make a good showing
and run it close at the finish.
A. K. Vierra has compiled set of
rules governing the race. These have
been approved by the rest of the COM
mittee and will be displayed in the
window of Wall, Nichols store. All
those who enter the race and wish a
copy of these rules may obtain the
same by applying to Mr.. Vlerra. But
you may just as well cut them out of
here and save the typewriter some
work. Here are the rules:
T. This race shall start on the morn
ing of Sunday, March IA, 1909, from the
Oahu Railroad and Land Company S de-
pot on King street at 7:30 o. cloek, upon

| There has been a<certain amount IF
talk made by those who want good
| excuse for not entering the race, that
there is not sufficient time for train
| ing. As matter of fact, those who
| really want to enter started to get fit
some time back, when it was first an
| nouneed that the race was an assured
| fact.
It can not be too firmly impressed
| on all who consider going into the race
that too much work in training is sui
eidal. Especially at first You should
take it lightly A few miles, not more
| than five. on the road at a good clip,
| walking. every day is plenty for the
| first week. After that, when the sys-
TEN has grown used to an unusual
strain and is looking out for 1t and
thus prepared to take more, little
jogging over the same distance would
be good
AS the date of the race approaches,
longer distance and faster pace IS
good, but for race of this distance,
| little more than half the distance
