baseball all the year round, whereas
the Kalakaua Avenue walking race
only occurs once year, the time OF
the latter event might be set so that
everyone may have a chance to wit

there are three races next Sunday,

paper it is proposed to start them
practically simultaneously If this Is
done there is sure to be a mix-up and

1t would be a good plan to start The
heavyweight and veterans races to-
gether at half past one or two o'clock
and the open race, say at half-past
two or three o'clock. Then every
one could see all three of the races
without hurrying dinner. The base
ball game can be played later; therell

Germans, have been employed to give in
