Race Today

The kalanianaole and Atkinson
leagues have postponed their games to-
day and everybody knows why that is.

the great event when sixty stalwart
athletes viii leave the starting point at
Aala park at half past seven and run
all the way to Haleiwa
All the arrangements have been made,
everything is settled and now it remains
only for the contestants to line up and
start off on the wearing, hearthreaking
race over nearly thirty miles of road
AT half past seven the bicycle riders,
thirteen of whom will race over the
course, will line up and start at the
signal given by Mayor Tern. Five
minutes later the Marathon runners will
form in line and they will start out
along King street on the first stage of
the race.
Special Starts at Nine.
At nine clock the special train, ar
ranged for by the committee viii leave
the o. r. & l.. depot. 1t will take about
two hours to reach Haleiwa and will re.
turn at half past four. Tickets sold for
the committee train viii be good only
on that train both going and return
ing. Tickets will be on sale at the
depot newspaper stand until the train
starts. The special rate for this train
is $3.50.
Through the courtesy of the Park
Theater management official programs
will be distributed among the crowd at
the start. These programs bear the
names of the starters and also the num-
bers which the runners and bicyclists
will wear on their breasts.
Three judges will be ready at the Ha-
leiwa end of the course to catch the
| names of the arriving bicycle riders
and will also Judge the finish of the

! numbers and leave their suit eases
which will be carried to Haleiwa ON

ty pins with which he must fasten
| the number either on his back or chest.
There will be no delay in the start
and any runner who comes late and Is
not' ready to go when the signal IS
given must take his chance of catching
up with the others.
Many Favorites.
forecast of the result of the race
is an impossible matter to undertake.
/ There are many favorites, chief ~
whom, judging by the Star guessing
competition, are George Nelson ana
: Cheatham There is another runner who
is touted to be slayer and a good
one at covering the ground for long
distance and that is Archie Kaoo. He
! is a Hawaiian and is said to be won
derfully long winded when it comes to
/ the running game. Stories of his
prowess in this department of athletics
many who have wagered little some
thing that the stalwart kamaaina will
come in first.
The marine camp has three entries.
Graves, Nelson and Lebrescu. Nelson
is certainly in excellent condition and
NAV fool the whole bunch, while
, Graves has many supporters. Lebreseu
is a slightly built fellow who looks as
& l. Enh
for any distance.
Cheatham, of course, is recognized as
! a long distance athlete and has bees
working faithfully for the race. he
has covered the course already and
knows what time he can make it in,
so that he will be able to regulate his
pace.
Dial Fahy is another possibility. He
has won several good loug1distanee
races on the mainland and is liable to
stay the whole course at a good pace.
| MANY Others have friends who believe
that they will turn the trick and there
| is a great possibility that some dark
horse of whom little has been heard,
will win the Haleiwa cup.
