PUBLIC SERVICE HEARINGS.

The Public Service Commission has de-
/ termined to hold informal public hearings
at some principal point in each county in
this state on dates and at places to be an
nounced by public advertisements in one
or more local papers in each 'county. 1t
is designed primarily to obtain through
these hearings a clearer and first hand idea
of the wishes and needs of the public, as
well as the railroads, with respect to the
elimination of grade crossings. 1t is not
intended that the proposed hearings shall
be treated as or have the force and effect
of formal petitions, but simply that they
may the better enable the Commission to
determine what grade crossings shall be
abolished each year in filling the quota of
the railroads as established by law. 1t is
also the hope of the Commission that this
new departure will make it easier and more
convenient for the public to prefer charges
ormake complaints about the service, ways
or practice of any public utility that is
under the supervision of the Commission.
The people of the state are cordially in
vited to attend these hearings and to freely
offer such suggestions and make such COM
plants with respect to public service cor
porations as the safety and welfare of the
public seems TO warrant. All railroads
(steam and electric) telephone, telegraph,
electric light and power, gas and express
companies are under the supervision of
this Commission, and matters relating to
any or all of them will be considered.

The second game of the sixth inter
national polo series between America
and England is scheduled for tomor-
row, on the splendid tournament
ground on Long Island, ana with a
decisive victory for the Meadow Brook
four in the first match last Tuesday,
American polo enthusiasts are hope
full of taking the next game and end
ing the series without the necessity
of a third game. Before Tuesday s
contest. the betting was little in IA
xor of the invaders, whole splendid
string of ponies. and impressive indi-
vidual work has been the subject of
much favorable comment from polo
experts. When America won the first
match with q gross score of to 3,
and net 51z to 3, the odds switched,
and in Honolulu there is little
money at 10 to 3 that America will
win tomrrow's. game, while the de-
Tenders are Z to 10 favorites to take
the series and retain the cup.
Hawaii has an added interest in the
1ulCIHdltOHdt THO Wv
ing TO the fact that three of the best
ponies of the local club are included
in the Meadow Brook string, and that
two of these are certainly being play
ed The sportsmanlike action OF the
local men in sending their best
pounts across the continent, to be
played by men whom they have never
even seen, is being Landed all over
the country, and Hawaii is lace high"
in polo circles.

card of the American Polo Association,
reading Watch for Harry Whitney to
play two periods on Carry the News"
This is DR.. Will Baldwin's splendid
pony. which Walter Dillingham; played
in the games on the coast last spring,
and which is considered one of the
finest polo mounts in the game today
