Saturday, September IL.
Maui VS.. Oahu at Moanalua, Wednes-
day, September 10.
Picked team match at Moanalua.
Friday, September II.
The above is the correct and only
polo. schedule. There were several
calls over the. telephone to this office
last night inquiring whether there
would be any polo next Saturday. It
was thought that the schedule was
made plain in yesterday mornings Ad-
vertiser but, seeing that many people
apparently did not read it, here it is
again.
The White Knights will have a
chance at the Oahu team on their own
grounds tomorrow. Those of,the visit
ors who happen to read this may be
interested to know that they will see
a game of polo played on one of the
finest fields in the world. Also they
will see just as good class of game
as they could find with microscope
at Blingum or Nottingham.
The game tomorrow will be the first
in an Interisland series The second
game viii not be until a week from
Saturday. The Maui team, last year 8
champions, will leave on Wednesday,
September s and arrive here the fol-
lowing morning. Their ponies will i'm
mediately be hacked out to Leilehua
and prepared for game after their
short, but rough, sea voyage.
The game tomorrow is bound to be
hot one. The White knights have
been practising hard and, having once
scored to on their own grounds
may well repeat the dose with an ex-
ira goal. The game will be well
worth seeing and tickets are one iron
man per.

by the free attractions and a ball
game between Bookings and De Smet
kid teams, which resulted in a score
of 6 to 2 for the home boys.
The different attractions of the fair
were good and seemed to please the
crowds. Poole, the frog man, in con-
tortion work, was the best and his
work was away ahead Of any similar
act ever seen here. He appeared all
three days at the fair grounds and
on Main street when the weather was
permissible and always received a
great hand from the crowd.
Harrison's troupe of trained dogs and
goats were excellent in their line and
did their full share in entertaining the
people. King William, the only div
ing goat in the world" was hardly
up to his advance notices, but for a
goat he performed very well.
John B. Riggs, in acrobatic and
trapeze work, was very good and pleas
ed the crowds, and the circling wave
was very popular, especially with the
younger fair visitors.
The races were we'll fought out and
interesting, although the track was
not in very good condition from the
rain. A large number of good horses
were here and 1t is to be regretted
that the wet weather of Tuesday cut
out two of the best races.
Nine horses started in the 2:30 trot
on Wednesday, which was won by
Lou Burton in three straight heats
Lucky Joe took second money and
Dug B. third. Time, 2:35, 2:32A,
2:32%.
Six horses started in the 2:25 pace
the same afternoon. Catheryn tool
the first heat, but Estelline won the
next three and the race, CatheryT
getting second money and Sadie MACK
third. Hazel Wilson, Prof. j. W. viii
sons PAGER, was entered in this race
but did not perform very well before
her neighbors and had to be content
with fifth money. Time. 2:2s, 2:26h
2:271k, 1929.
The 1920 trot. the first race or
Thursday, was won by T. G. B., Felix
second and Helen Curry third. Felix
took the first heat, but T. G. B. tool
the next three. Time, 2:22h, 2:22h
2:24. 2:25h.
The 2:25 pace had seven starters

The exhibit included nearly every va,

State college, had on exhibition a nice
showing of the varieties of apples and

The agricultural exhibit was housed
in a large tent which was comfortably
filled with every variety of garden

glasses. The exhibit was nicely ar

There were six COWS entered in the
dairy COW contest, which was inaugur-
ated by the association last year.
Zach Prentiss' COW won first with a
total score of 1926 and G. N. Ken
nard's COW was second with a score
of 1,017.
, In the boys contest there was not
very many entries and evidently the
young men of the county do not ap

that next years contest will see q
large number of boys entered. The
contest was for the best exhibit o.

her right TO equal suffrage with man.
1t Is purely a matter of cold. abstract

"It's of no importance. Where must

Vernon told her. and proffered his
services. He was now delighted at the
philosophical way in which she ac-
cepted the situation-it would have
brought the average woman. he re-
fiected, to tears-and then he went on
to picture to himself the practical re-
suits in improving women's characters
that his new measure. as he had al
