That special wireless to the Advel-
tiser from Kahului was a peewee, and
created almost as much sensation
here as did the news of the raideI
crap game at Wailuku. There was
nothing much the Omatter with the
report. however, except that there
wasn't rider named Anderson in the
bicycle race, nor a horse named Rez-
aldawar in the third race Merlingo
won the m lie race and not Coppit.
but that was a trihing error. The
result of the pacing championship Of
the Territory was omitted, but then
nobody was interested in it. Villa
Waihee, given as the winner of the
open pony race, was not colored on
the card, and Spring Ban and Mer-
lingo are stated to have finished first
and second in a race for Japanese
owned horses, which must have
tickled John O'Rourke almost to
death Major Collier is credited with
having established a track record Of
1928 in the three-quarter-mile race
for Hawaiian-breds, though Spring
Ban won a race over the same dis.
lance on the same afternoon in four
seconds less. Rewco was given as
the winner of the half-mile free-for-
all, but purse and bets were paid
over Merlingo, which must have
been been due to an oversight on the
part of the judges There were a few
other minor miscellaneous in the re-
port, but, there, what's the good of
being too particular?

Some people have evidently been
laboring under the delusion that the
local wireless service is a private
futility instead of a public utility.
Coppit failed to cop it at Kahului,
but Parlor Maid raised the dust in
the race for gentleman riders.

into twelve smaller ones containing
from $4,000 to 10000 square feet; Still
good sized lots!
Second that the lots in this land
come pretty near selling themselves:
The reason? Because the lots are,
not remnants nor undesirabIes left
over after the pick, but are the real
choice locations. This is easily prov
ed by visit to the land. Let us show

guage and First Steps in Christian Religion.

Although practically unknown, a Sun
day school for Chinese men and boys
has been conducted for over ten years at
the Metropolitan M. E Church, John
Marshall place and C street northwest
Chinese of all ages are taught English
as an inducement to study the principles
of Christianity.
b w. Pond, superintendent Of the
school, has been interested in work of
this kind for nearly eighteen years. and
at one time had about 100 Chinese in
the school. The classes are taught by
women of the church
There are about twenty men and boys
In the class, and several children rang
ing from three to eight years of age.
The children speak better English than
their elders, having been taught this
language from infancy.
One of the instances where good has
been done by the school is in the case
of Paul Lee Gym, who Joined the Sun
day school and was persuaded by Mr..
Pond to study in Washington college.
After living here for five years, Lee
went to New York. where his training
under Mr.. Pond helped him to a posi-
ton on the editorial staff Of the Chinese
Weekly Herald, the leading Chinese pub
