mas kindly consented to act on the
committee and is very welcome addi-
ton as he is well acquainted locally
and is hustler from Rustleyilie.

: some well-known store, and the details
as to- time limit for entrances to come
In will be settled on tonight.
There will be a small entrance forfeit
to be paid with each entry. This has
been found necessary on account of the
number of people who are willing to
gain a little newspaper notoriety by
saying that they will enter and then
failing to turn mp at the start. All
entrance fees will be receipted for and

money refunded.
The prospects of the race are bring
ing out more than possible entries for
morning exercise Many of the compel
itors who are already in training are
accompanied by friends who take ad-
vantage of the company to take some
/ healthy exercise in the open air.
The younger set will be well repre-
scented in the race. Many of the High
School, Punahou and Kamehameha lads
are out for the big trophy and are
pounding the early morning roads. Each
one of them is accompanied by squad
of trainers and pace-makers and some
of these are by no means youngsters.
While there is general sentiment
among those who do not think of en-
tering, that the race will be a mighty
hard one, they have caught enough OF
the enthusiasm to get out and take exer
else with their friends. This is where
such events as this get in their gooi
work. In the same way that the walk

nolulu, this race is showing brain weary
workers that gentle log over the
roads gives 8 fellow a delightful feel

walking race and this time he states
that he will give three prizes, each ont

modify which he handles in his com
mission business. One of them is DO,
of California oranges and. as somebody
said when he heard about it, fGrea
guns, I'll walk from here to Haleiw;
for a prize like that any day. For
tunately for him Mr.. Waldron was no
there to hear him make the break o.
he might have been taken up.
| Cheatham, who is too busy to serve
