BIG H|LO MATCH
RACE IS F|zzLE.
Weber Quits When Race Is Hall
Over and Major Collier
Romps In.

Especial Wireless to The Advertiasr)-
HIL0, January 2.-The big event OF
the races on Saturday turned out to be
a disgusting failure, Weber, G. Me-
Lehman IS entry, quitting when half the
course had been run, leaving Major
Collier to canter in a winner.
This was the matched race, one ana
quarter miles, for n purse of two
thousand dollars, the second event on
the card and the one looked forward
to by the racegoers as certain to fur
nish the thrills of the day.
There were four false starts, Weber
being the anxious one, on one occa-
sion boiling with his jockey and run
ming full mile before be could be
pulled up. On the fifth start the two
horses got away together and began
what appeared was going to be splep-
did race.
To the disgust of the crowd, how
ever, Webber showed the effect of the
efforts he had made and fell behind,
finally quitting at the three quarter
post. Major Collier, the Kukaiau en-.
try, cantered in alone.
1t was a very much Disguised crowd
that watched the inglorious finish.
Local Champion Lost.
G. Reynolds, down on the program az
from Aberdeen, Washington, got the
decision in the main boxing event over
Ben de Mello, of HiIo. The winner In
this ten-round go is lightweight,
while the local man is classed by his
avoirdupois as middleweight, The
mill went the full ten rounds.
(. Tom de Mello of Hilo and Sam Hrp
Of Honolulu fought to a draw in 3
four round preliminary.

Ravlins' Tirne Reeora.

Here is the time record race as kine~
ly supplied by VIII RaWlins, one Of tn
judges, who kept tab on tho time. Tsp,
kamoto led the first mile in 9 minis. IN
secs. Kaoo took the second in 6 Minis
2S secs. and the third in anins, 30
secs, after which he nearly Tapped the
Japanese runner. The fourth mile wSS
in 6 minis. As secs, then TsukamotN
made the pace and, with Kaoo hara
after him to lap him, tho fifth mile YVES
done in z Minis. 2 secs.
The sixth mile was done in 2 Minis,
secs. with the Jap still making the
pace. Kaoo started TO gain tho second
lap and made the seventh mile In y
minis. 55 secs. The eighth was done
in Minis. 81 secs. with the Hawaiian
still gaining, in fact he had made al
most two laps on Tsukamoto. Tho
ninth mile was made in z minis. 9 SECS
and the tenth mile in the remarkably
fast time of 6 minis. 81 secs.
A Tenth Anniversary.
Another interesting item in conneo-
ton with yesterdays races is to DO
noted in the fact that Ayres made the
tenth anniversary of his walking aP-
pearance here. Just ten years ago yen
terday he defeated Bob Burns at thu
opening of the Hoolulu park, at Hilo,
over half-mile distance. He has walk

event and has won all of them untn

BABY DRUNK
ON DACO
RED
Six-Year-old Girl Found in a
Room Over a Livery
Stable.
VOMITING SAVED HER LIFE
Taken to Hospital Where Her
Drunken Father Calls
to See Her.
VOMITING SAVED HER LIFE
(From Mondays Advertiser.)


Six years old and dead drunk, lying
on the bare floor of the dingy room &C.
cupied by Martin Ryan, over the Ter
ritorial Stables, little Baby Kerr was
found yesterday afternoon. That she
is not dead today as a result of the
alcoholic poison poured down her baby
throat is due, according to the doctors,
to the fact that severe vomiting at
tack emptied the stomach before the
alcohol and the adulterants could work
their full effect.
Who supplied the baby with the wine,
how she got into the room over the
stable, how it happened that tot of
her age could be found in the condition
she was in, are facts as yet to be
learned.
P. w. Rider of the Kakaako Mission
was telephoned to late in the after
noon by George Ward, superintendent
of the Territorial Stables, told that
there was little sick girl upstairs and
asked to come and identify her if pos
sible.
Rider went, bringing several boys Of
the neighborhood with him, to better
learn the girls name. They found her
in the room of Martin Ryan, an Irish
man, VINO Is huOWU dS ID SISdC
although nothing worse.
The baby had just vomited and in
spection proved it to be cheap red wine
commonly known as "dago red. When
Rider picked the poor little tot up she
was limp and as soggish as a man
who is absolutely dead drunk.
Rider advised her immediate removal
to the hospital but Ward thought it
Eos. nd
Doctor Walters came down. He ex-
amined her heart action and pulse and
then ordered her to the hospital as
quickly as possible
Superintendent Eckardt stated yes
terday that she will probably be all
right today and that there was no
danger of her dying. Doctor Risdon
of the hospital treated her and every
thing is being done for her that can
be done. Only prompt action saved her
life.
Yesterday evening the father of the
girl, white man named Kerr, called
on Rider to find out about his child.
! He himself was intoxicated at the time
and is known around Kakaako as alb
solutely worthless. His wife is Port
uguese woman and the family live in
the Kumalae Block, just opposite the
Magoon Block.
The father wanted to remove the
girl from the hospital but it is not
likely that he would have been permit
ted to if he had tried.
Rider stated last night that during
his nine years of settlement work
among the people of Kakaako he has
never seen any case so heartbreaking
as the present one, and will leave no
stone unturned that will lead to the
4 discovery of those who gave the baby
s the liquor. He will also make inquir-
les as to how she got in Ryan S room.
q Humane Officer Rose Dawson will
4 probably also work on the case.

MINICE & TAYLOR
WHEN CATTLE TRADE
LEFT ABILENE
Kansas City Market Received 4OOO
Head q Month In 1870.

Kansas City Times: The Kansas
city Times Of June A, 1870, had this
to say Of one Of the great industries
Of the town.
There are a few people who
appreciate the number Of cattle
that are received and shipped
from this point. That portion
Of the city from which the trade
il carried on Is over in the bot
toms, near the state line. There
are on the average from four TO
ten thousand head OF cattle re-
ceived ana shipped mCnthly.
They have hitherto been receiy-
ed from Abilene. Hereafter, no
doubt, Baxter Springs will be q
great forwarding point
-Four to ten thousand q month
meant q right smart business in those
DAYS. Even the most hopeful OF the
pioneers couldn't have forseen- the
enormous increase in business that
fetches 10000 cattle a month TO
to the stock yards at this time q
yeat-sIx thousand a day; as many
in a day as were received in a month
in those piping times when Baxter
Springs was regarded as the coming
center Of the cattle business.
In the 7O's every family expected
to raise its own ham and bacon and
there was no market in Kansas City
for hogs and sheep. The four to ten
thousand cattle month represented
the entire receipts Of animals. Now,
counting sheep and hogs as well a.
cattle, the receipts run about twenty
thousand dollars 3 day-a three
months business for 1870. Some
thing Of 4 change, even for forty
years.

ing in district court on the injunction

ready for trial on the merits Of the

the city administration argued that
the district court could not decide
the case on its merits on the action

refused to hear any evidence and
held that he could not decide the
matter Of the validity of the commits
