Revised Program
of HiIO Sporting
Fourth Carnival

Especial Correspondence to the Starr
HILO. MAY 27-Owing to the
change in the schedule of the Mauna
Kea, the committee in charge of the
horse races and other sports, that
are to be held on the Hoolulu race
track, has decided to cut out the July
3 events and to make one big glorious
days sport for the Fourth. The de-
cision is a good one and the promo
tiers should make great success of
the affair.
The Mauna Kea will arrive in Hilo
on the morning of the Fourth and Will
leave again next day for Honolulu.
That will suit the capital city sports
splendidly and there should be a rec
ord crowd on the Inter-Island flag
ship.
The lovers of the noble art will
also be able to enjoy themselves to
the limit as on the evening of the
Fourth two good boxing bouts Will
be pulled off in the Armory.
That great veteran horseman, John
O'Rourke, is sanguine that the com,
ing Fourth of July will eclipse any
thing of the sort ever seen in Hilo
before There will be so many events
crowded into the day. that the sport
, loving crowd will have to keep theh
eyes open in order to see everything
Soccer and Baseball.
The start of the days fun will b,
at eleven o'clock in the morning wher
the soccer football game between the
Honolulu Mckinley High School ant
the Hilo soccer team will get under
way. That game should be well wortE
going miles to see.
AS soon as the football is finished
luncheon will be served and the grand
stand will take on a picnic aspect
Then, when the good things hav,
been disposed of, the spectators viii
be treated to a five-miles running
race, in which the best distance run
ners of the territory will compete.
At half-past two o'clock the mucl
talked-of baseball game between tn,
Hilo nine and the famous Japanes,
athletics of Honolulu will begin. Tn,

De Mello had a strenuous workout
at Camp Very yesterday afternoon,
putting on the gloves with Denny
I.eary, Conductor Williams, Andrews
the hapa-haole and Jim Hoao. In all
he boxed nine rounds.
Leary was putting on the gloves for
the first time since coming to Homo
lulu and showed that he thoroughly
understands the game and is fairly
fast.
Andrews, a heavyweight, made a
good impression on those present and
will probably figure in a preliminary
before long provided a suitable oppon-
ent can be found for him.
De Mello samples the various
brands of boxing offered him with
evident relish and was asking for
more when his trainer decided to call
it day.
lngle Is Fit.
George Ingle spared four rounds
with Johnny Mccarthy at the Or
pheum last night and worked like a
machine The rounds were fast but
despite this Ingle was not breathing
bit harder than ordinarily when
the bout was over. The San Fran
oiscan will enter the ring on Satur-
day a perfectly trained boxer land in
shape to go every step of the sched-
uled fifteen rounds at whatever pace
may be necessary.
Yamogata At II.
Yamogata is training in private and
jim Hoao is working with him. In
the morning he takes a pipe-opener
with a member of the business staff
of the Juvenile Bostonians at the
Liberty Theater and four rounds are
boxed In the afternoon his work is
done at the residence of an accom-
modating friend.
Yamogata is finely developed physi.
cally and has a good wallop in either
mitt. He is a college graduate and
speaks English very well. When box.
ing round Seattle he was the idol Of
che local Japanese.
Plug" Milne will try him out on
Saturday at the Athletic Park and
the public will then be able to judge
of his fstic prowess for themselves.
Today's Program.
Ben de Mello will work with Young
Nelson, Soldier Layman, Corporal
Prier and probably Yamogata at
Camp Very at p. m. today.
Young Caples will box with Johnny
Mccarthy at the Orpheum at $3.50 and
George Ingle will be prepared to put

place at 1880.

THE ELECTION OF DIR. PoRRAs.

The choice Of an Electoral College in
Panama unanimously committed TO
the election Of Dr. Belisarlo Porras rs
President Of the Republic IS a little
surprising, but, on the whole, not I'M
welcome. It was effected through the
withdrawal from the contest Of Mr..
Diaz, the opposing candidate, on the
very eve Of the election, on the ground
that he was certain to lose and that
he would rather withdraw than be
defeated at the polls. It is to be as
sumed that this action was taken in
good faith and that the result Of the
consequently altogether one-slded cleo
ton will be loyalty accepted
There would certainly be no room
for dissatisfaction or contest on the
ground Of American interference. As
we have already remarked, the super
vision which this country exercised
over the election was granted at the
request OF the Panaman government
as well rs Of the opposition party, and
was strictly in accord with precedent
and with treaty stlpUlations. There IS
no evidence that it was not entirely
impartial. Indeed, If the United States
had been inclined g. show any par
TALLY It would more naturally have
been in favor Of Mr.. Diaz and against
DR.. PorTas. since the latter, at least
I'm the earlier years Of the lsthmlan
Republic, was suspected Of being less
friendly to this country than most
other prominent statesmen of Panama.
There is no reason in the world why
the United States should have favored
him in this election, and It Is unbe-
lievable that It did so.
1t is to be expected that Or. Porras
will succeed to the Presidency in n
con 5titudonal manner and that he will
fill the Office cOmpetently and with
patriotic spirit The storm and stress
of eight years ago, when he was re-
garded as a dangerous reyolutionist,
have passed away, and he has estab-
lished his standing as n serious, re-
sponsible and authoritative statesman,
representing a large proportion Of the
people Of the isthmus. His relations
with the United States during his SER
vice as Minister at Washington have
been cordial and mutually appreciative,
and his accession to the Presidency
WILL probably cause not the slightest
