Lawson and John L. scog- in for membership on the board of revenue from the southeastern district of Mont gomery county in favor of the latter This is the second time that Lawson has lost his contest

LETTER 5 TO EDITOR
Veterans, Pensions
ro the EdItor of.11he Age-Herald.

To the Editor orfThe Age-Herald:
 For the favored state of Alabama to provide ample means and comfort for it's ClG soldiers would be a gracious act and I have good reason to believe that the men to whom this matter is ntrusted are doIng all they can. Our governor know ingly will never do a worthy confederate veteran an injustice. His father was an officer in the Army of Northern Virgin ia, capable and brave. Should it be dis covered that some are the beneficiaries of the states liberality, and really not :,i need or deserving, would it be wrong tc say to them you are acting Tn bad taste ? All of the four years of the war was ad enough. but the last F months was by far the most trying of all Think of it--in the ditcnes al Petersburg for nine months there never was a minute day or night, but what the army was under fire. All those who were on the retreat from Petersburg and the northside of th.. James to Appomattox for seven days and nights in the bangs of hunger, reckless and desperate, often in line of battle unti, rnot down or ordered away, know of the horrors of starving army on the re- treat
 1t Is gratifying to the old soldiers tD know that they are kindly remembered by their countrymen, and that they havs their respect and confidence, and will be pleasantly remembered by them whcn they are gone. With all my heart I do w-sh that a wiser remedy could be found for the settlement of all quarrels and dis pates than that of war. If could have for little while the wisdom of the Jew ish monarch l believe that I could ind one out, and why Solomon did not leave the way clear for the peace of the world l am at loss to know
 It takes a nation generations to recover from the bitterness. distress and poverty brought on by a great war, and this ap- plies as well to the victor as to the con urered J. LAWLER DARBY.

POLO ON HAWAII.

Hilo Tribune: Honolulu people
often remark upon the fact that there
is no polo club in the Hilo district.
The Oahu sportsmen think that the
citizens of Hilo and the surrounding
districts could easily get a polo club
going and, to the ordinary man on
the street, it does seem that way.
There are plenty of young fellows,
who are good riders, around about
Hilo, Horsetlesh is cheap enough,
and the wonder is that something or
the sort has not been started. DR..
Archer Irwin is a good polo player
and he would, if encouraged a little,
get going on the proposition. Think

Weak Hltters.

Several things happened to make
the fans sit up and take notice. The
Chinese seem to be unable to master
the hitting end of the game. This
was true yesterday but some of the
strongest college teams have been
found wanting in the same line when
opposed by Joe Peplosky, Seton Halls
star twirler, who is considered one OF
the best pitchers in college baseball
today Peplosky twirled the entire
game and famed fifteen men. But
two hits were secured off his deliv-
cry. These came in different innings
before man had been retired but
both runners we're nipped on the
bases.
Apau Kau occupied the mound for
the Chinese. He had everything in the
pitching line including a splitter. Set
on Hall managed to gather seven hits
off him. But thirty-three men faced
him in the first ten rounds. One OF
these crossed the plate while the 9th
er two were left on the sacks. Apau
Kau did not issue a pass while Pep
lCsky handed out two.
II. the choicest baseball lingo o,
the very best of English the Chinese
coachers worked on the side lines
whenever one Of their teammates
happened to get on the sacks. Setor
Hall apparently looked forward to al
easy victory, but was compelled t.
fight every inch of the way before
victory finally perched on the Soutf
Orange collegians' banner.

PROJECT OF ROWING CLUB
FOR HILO IS WELL LAUNCHED

HILO, June lion Tuesday even
ing last there was a meeting of the
men who have become interested in
the rowing game, and who are deter
mined to get things going properly
in Hilo.
The gathering was at the First Bank

ed were: II. V. Patten, II. b. Marin.

Wears, unfortunately could not at
tend and his absence was felt very
much
II, " Patten was elected to the
chair, and the meeting started off
right away. Mr.. Webster, who is
an old Healani Boat Club man, gave
his views on the subject of starting
a rowing club in Hilo. He told of
how they did things in Honolulu,
when he was an active oarsman. Ho
suggested that the first thing to do
was to get a copy Of the bylaws Of
enc of the Honolulu clubs. Then
something similar could be drawn ur
for the proposed Hilo club.
The idea is to get the club going as

soon as possible, and to purchase a
second hand six-oar barge that will
be plenty good enough fer the men
TO tackle first, A suitable boat can,
no doubt, be secured at a reasonable
figure either in Honolulu, or through
one of the mainland boat builders.
A committee of two, consisting o.
Messrs. Patten and Mariner, was
elected and the question Of a site
for the boathouse will be investigat,
ed by them. Another committee,
made up of Webster and RoIph was
also selected, and the subject OF by
laws will be the particular care OF
that body.
The Hilo Boat Club, when organic
ed, will be the real thing in 1ubs

such style that the young men of the
town will be eager to become mem
bers. There will be no cruising
