by the executive committee at their
last meeting. The track at Kahului
is in fine shape, and the first string

stalls before the 18th of next month.
Our people here do not seem to be
the least excited over the appearance
in the Honolulu papers, of race pro
gram for Hilo on July 4. Everybody
here seems to be of the opinion, that
though the Hilo purses and promises
are larger and more than Maui offers,
our Past Records and Stringless
Purses will be the means of our re-
ceiving q fair patronage from al fair
minded sportsman in the Territory of
Hawaii.

passed by the association, as soon as

OLYMPIC SWIMS

American OLYMPIC swimming team,
stopped here today on their way to
Pittsburg, where they will compete in
the 22O and 5OO-yard swims to be held
by the Pittsburg clubs. Kahanamoku
will compete in the sprint races, while
Genoves will attempt to land a place
in the distance event.
Neither man has had any expert
ence in tank swimming or in fresh
water work, but both hold records for
saltwater courses The fact that the
Olympic swims will be held in sea
water, they say, gives them the right
to be considered when the champion
ships are held.
