WALK ENTRIES
CLOSE SATURDAY
DR.. Hand Has Great List of
Events for KapIoIani Park
on June 18th.

Entries for the big walking race at
Kapiolani on June IL close at s clock
on Saturday evening at the Y. NJ. C. A.
building. Those who figure on enter
ing please take notice.
There have been many state that
they expect to go in this race and
some of them are already training for
it, but comparatively few have put in
their entries. 1t was hoped that Chea-
than would enter but his name is not
yet in, nor is that of Dial Fahy.
The latter must surely have forgot
ten to do so, for was it not he who
made remarks about long-legged news
paper men and how he could beat them
over any distance at a walk? Did he
not state for publication that he was
training for the event and did he not
go so far as to stop one newspaper man
| who might be accused of having long
legs and openly defy him to walk in
| the racer
| There is much talk around town about
| this race and it looks as though there
| would be nearly as much excitement
| over it as the big Marathon which will
! take place the same day. DR.. Hand
| has been very busy for long time
and he is going to pull off as attrac-
| tive public program as ever hap
pened.
The Marathon race is for Y. M. G. A.
| members only Those entries are all
| in, but the walking race and the bicycle
race of eleven miles are open to any
| body who is an amateur and DR.. Hand s
| Interpretation of that word is ''Any
man who does not engage in any sport
for living
Cup Up for Relay.
A cup has been put up for the school
mile relay race and this will be a very
attractive event. The Hams and High
School have already announced their
intention of entering four man teams
| and there is little doubt that both Pu-
nahou and ST. Louis will come in.
The track will be fixed up. This, ar
| rangement has been made through the
courtesy of the supervisors. 1t will be
| scraped and rolled. the hollows filled up
| and the bumps leveled down and it
| will be as good mile track to run,
walk or ride on as one could want.
| In addition to these events there
| will be motorcycle races and a base
! ball game from the Riverside League
schedule. After the Marathon runners
are started from Kapiolani Park and
| the runners are all on their way down
| Kalakaua avenue, the walking race will
start. Then will come the bicycle race
for DR.. Hands gold watch and the
motorcycle races.
| The baseball game will be started
in time to be finished before the first
/ of the Marathon runners appears on
| the track for the last four miles and
there will be something doing every
minute of the time. The mile relay
! race will be started either directly af-
ter the start of the Marathon, or later
on according to the wishes of the con
| testants.
| Nobody who has not watched his
work can have any idea of the energy
and hustle that DIR. Hand has put into
this June IL celebration. He has
thought out every event very carefully
and has brought out a program that
will interest everybody. 1t looks as
though Kamehameha day would be one
of the most successful celebrations ever
held here.
