Standard Weights and Measures.

Commissioner of Agriculture John p.
Buckley has sent out letters to the
municipal officers of the various towns
and cities urging them to make provision
for the purchase of such standard weights
and measures as may be required by the
towns and cities to comply with the pro.
visions of the act passed by the las,
legislature, making the commissioner OF
agriculture the sealer of weights and
measures and providing for strict en-
forcement of standard weights and meas
ures throughout the state. he says that
the purchase of the required standards
will cost the municipalities about $50
for . complete working set and advises
the towns to take some action in the
matter at the coming town meetings.
He explains that II was necessary, after
the passage of the act, to purchase new
set OF standards for the state and there
fore the state sealer Of weights and
measures has not been able to do any
thing in the line OF comparing the weigh
and measures Of the different cities and
towns. 1--WE expect to have these state
standards and be able 10 take up the
work about the first of April, 50 that it
will be necessary for the towns to take
up the work at once, as II has been some
time since our different standards iu this
state have been corrected" says Mr..
Buckley

KID HERRIGAN AND GREEN
SPAR WITH GEORGE INGLE

There was the customary training
seance at the Orpheum last night and
the usual crowd of spectators.
Young Cans was not present, hav-
ing suffered from a stitch in his side
during the day On this account he
decided to lay off from work with the
gloves for a night.
Kid Herrigan was on hand, how
ever, and also a boxer named Green
who once on a time fought Ben de
Mello in Hilo town.
Herrigan and Ingle spared two
good rounds and then plug" Milne
went into action and boxed four
rounds with "Uncle Ben's" next oppo-
nent. Both Ingle and Mccarthy ex-
press a big opinion of the kid" as
q boxer.
Greene wound up useful evenings
work with two rounds with Ingle. The
latter sandwiched a couple of rounds
of rope-skipping between bouts with
his sparring partners.
Young Caples will work out at the
Orpheum today and Young Cans is
also expected to be on hand to add to
the gaiety of the proceedings.

A ROWING BOOM IS STARTED IN HILO

the trio. The last named crew wa7
the admiration of everybody last Sell
tembeT, and the way they bucked ~
and did their level best, earned the
cheers and congratulations of all good
sportsmen.
The Maui boys were, with one eX-
Certion, a green lot of oarsmen. The
practically learned the art of rowDg
in tank. They only had a couple Of
weeks proper rowing on Honolulu har
Dor. Still, they did very well and
although defeated, were by no means
disgraced.
Hilo has far more advantages than
the Maui crew have Behind the
treakwater here, there is a sheet of
water that would make an ideal train
ing course, and a shell and barge crew
could soon work themselves into CON
dition Then the Desha boys are old
hands at the rowing game, and they
could soon shape up a crew that
would be an honor to Hawaii. Think
it over
