YOUNG ACTORS
ENJOY SPORT
Pollards Find Time to Swim
and Row in Spite OF
RehearsaIs.

In spite of the hard work that the
young Pollard actors have been doing
on the stage with many rehearsals and
much learning of new parts, they have
found a little time to devote to ath-
letics and sports generally, of which
they are, like all Australians, very
fond
One of the principal delights OF the
younger members of the company has
been to chase down to the Healani
boat club for an hour or two in the
morning or afternoon, when Mr.. Could
ing would spare them from rehearsal.
The privileges of the club We're ex-
tended to them and they have made full
use of this courtesy.
Rowing and swimming is their forte
Frank Cherry IS, perhaps, the smartest
swimmer of them all but has not the
speed and staying power of some OF
the older boys. Last year, when Cher
nv was here with the Lilliputians he
defeated .'Peanuts, a local Hawaiian,
in swimming race, and there IS some
talk of another match in which Cherry
will take on any lad of his own age.
The Pollards would have come out
with several challenges had this not
been deprecated by the management
on account of too much business to be
attended to- There are several of them
who are handy oarsmen and they have
been talking about having a rowing
race between a four-oa crew from
the company and one of the same age
limit from the boat club.
This idea was promptly taken up by
some Of the members of the club yes
terday afternoon and it is more than
possible that it will come off next Sun
day.
The Australians are naturally all
good ericketers and, if it were not for
the Saturday matinee, there would have
been a match with the local team last
week, but the actors cannot play on
Saturday and there is no other day on
which the Honolulu c. c. can get a
team together.
Just growing into manhood as most
of the Pollards are, it is essential that
they should get plenty OF exercise out
of doors and they are certainly keen
enough after it. When they get out
on the water they are just like kids
and have as good time romping round
the boat-house, chasing each other into
and out of the water and having a
good time generally, as the oldest OF
the morning dip association anelents
and that is saying whole lot.
All the leading local sporting and
athletic events have received proper
attention from the young actors and
they took a special interest in the
Marathon last Sunday. cordial lnVi
tation was sent to the winner OF the
race to make himself free of the Opera
House as long as the Pollards are play
ing there. When they get out together
they talk mostly of sport, principally
in Australia, and the one member OF the
company who has seen Tommy Burns
fight is looked upon as an oracle IN the
pugilistic line.

boat at New London. At present he IS

Coach Wray took Lunts seat at num-
Der when the varsity boat first went
out for practise Wednesday. The crew
went upstream about mile and then
returned to the boathouse, where Lunt
took his seat again and the eight Went
downstream for it's usual row.
Wray then took Forster's place at 2
in the second crew for some distance.
This method of following the work of
the crews and getting the line in the
boats is one of Coach Wray's meth

resorts to it in the daily practise.
Yale and Harvard have both agreed
to hold their annual race on the

date, which is the day after the Yale
and Harvard commencements.
