BEAUTIFUL STAR
TAKEN FOR COMET

AS general proposition, this is not
an ideal country for star gazing. In
winter, when tho sky is cloudless the
temperature is usually such as to nip
any little enthusiasm that is inclined
to bud; and in summer the stars are
obscured by the light of the sun.
Several evenings ago, however,
through a rift in the clouds that had
hung over US almost continually since
Christmas, several persons declared
they had seen Halley's comet in tho
armament to the southwestward. Mon
day night, the sky being then cloudless
and clear Of even suspicion Of hazy
smirch of any kind, great and very
brilliant star was seen in the direction
indicated, and by many it was without
question taken for the Star of Bethle-
hem, by the moderns dssigsuoasd =
comet. 1t was glorious enough for
that or any other heaven.sent messen-
ger. The very prominent spangles at
ono side Of tho beautiful object we're
taken for the comets tail. People
who claim to know say it is only the
inferior planet Venus, now the evening
star. 1t has attracted . great deal Of
admiration, but a. comet it seems to
be discredited by most people.

GUARDS AND CAVALRY WIN.

The second games in the Military

urday afternoon at the league grounds
the Guards and Cavalry teams taking
the honors, by defeating the Marines
and Goth Infantry teams
The crowd was unusually slim, but
the enthusiasm they showed made up
for the lack in numbers. Fifteen
innings were necessary to complete
the Guards Fort Shafter game, and
although the score was large, it does
not indicate what was necessary TO
win.
Hampton pitched fine game, and
through his efforts the game was
won for the Guards. Dole pitched
four innings, but it was soon seen
that something must be done to save
the game, so Barry put Hampton in
to pull the team together which he
did.
Gibson, the crack twirler from
Camp Very, was not up to his usual
form, but nine strike out were chalk
de to his credit, and only two men
reached first on balls. Walker and

SPORT S
OPENING TOURNAMENT
MANOA VALLEY COURTS

On Wednesday evening at seven
o'clock, the first matches of the ten
mis- tournament arranged by the mem
bers of the Manoa Valley Tennis Club
will be played and Judging from the
entry list some close sets will be
played before the winners are an
nounced. Great pains have been
taken to make this initial event a
success, and if the weather remains
clear it will be.
Matches 1 and on Wednesday
night should prove the most interest
ing, as eight of the best players in
town are entered. AL Castle and
Dick Cooke are predicted as the two
that will fight II out this year for the
tennis championship of Hawaii, as
Castle was runner up to Gee who won
everything he entered during his stay
here in the islands.
Mrs. Coulter, who will endeavor to
wrest championship honors from the
mainland cracks this year in the ma
tional tournament, will be seen in
action with w. A. Wall against Mr..
and Mrs. John Waterhouse. Mrs.
Coulter has been improving every
day in her tennis, and is hard to
defeat, a number of the best men
players being defeated by her with
comparative ease. Miss Lucy Ward
and Horald Giffard will meet the
winner of the Tenney- Dowsett, Patty
Babbitt match Thursday night. Gift
fard has not been playing very much
tennis in the past few years, but is
improving rapidly every day and he
should give a good account of him
self with his partner who at one time
held the ladies championship of Ha-
wall. All the matches will start at
seven o'clock sharp, and extra seat
ing capacity will be provided for the
