The great sports program of the Y.
NJ. c. A. pulled off at and from Ka-
piolani park yesterday afternoon, was
as complete success as had been hop
ed for it. DR.. Hand had carefully
planned the program and every de-
tail of it was carried out to a nicely
without the slightest misunderstanding
or hitch. An immense crowd of peo-
pie lined both sides of the park track
and the police had their hands full
! in keeping the ways clear. Luckily
! there were no accidents, and none OF
the runners were severely used by the
long sprint.
The Hawaiian band was present in
the park and played during the en-
tire afternoon. In the absence of
grandstand, the big crowd had to
stand which was made rather unplea-
SAINT by the heat in the earlier af-
ternoon. Later, however, it was a bit
cloudy and correspondence more COM
Portable.
The big event. the &c mile Mara
thon run, came on first. Nine men
lined up at precisely 1 p. IN. as fol-
lows: c. A. Brodericl5, Harry Cor
man, A. c. Maby, Bert Mott, J. d.
Cocllburn, J. c. Ewing, NJ. Lebrescu
Joe Honan and John McCanGless. The
starting gun was fired by DR.. Hand
al los fiat, one turn being taken
around the track Honan took the
lead and held it until the Waikiki
road was reached downward when
German and Mott forged ahead. At
about two miles Honan, who had not
been well anyway, felt too i'll to con-
tinue and dropped. This was great
disappointment, as he had started in
well.
At Fort street Mott was ahead. with
German only a short distance behind
and running strong. At about u
miles Coburn was seized with cramps
and dropped out. Feeling cramps
coming on, both Ewing ami Broder-
ick dropped out at about Il miles
After passing Mott and taking the
lead German kept ahead until the
park was reached again, ne coming
upon the track in a walk at 4:2O. He
then walked or slowly ran around one
time and came upon Lebrescu at the
starting point, the latter having Just
arrived upon the track. From that
point on to the end German and Lee
brescu stayed together. the former not
allowing the latter to get away from
him and therefore finishing exactly the
one lap ahead.
Mott arrived back upon the track
at 4:45 and made three fourths of the
run around when he was seen to dart
from the track toward a water tan.
Nigel jackson and many others tump-
ed in and prevented the exhausted ath-
lete from reaching the water. AT the
time Mott seemed to be partially deli
rious and his friends refused to allow
him to run farther
Soon after Mott arrived upon the
track, McCandless showed up and went
nearly a mile when he, too stepped
out. He was far from exhausted how
ever, and his friends entreated him
TO run on. Il want first place or no.

With that he retired.
When German finished Lebrescu
was left upon the track with another
mile to go. This he walked and slow
