A proposition which created much
discussion at the meeting CT council
last night was that of permitting the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad company
to extend It's tracks from its present
freight station at Ninth and Canal
streets, two feet over the sidewalk on
Canal street. The permission to ex-
tend was given.
This resolution was defeated at the
last meeting of council, mainly
through the efforts OF Mr.. Radcliffe.
Last night he asked for a reconsider
alton of the vote. II was g-antcd, and
then he explained that he had chang
ed his mind after having made fuller
examination OF the proposition. He
said that this former resoluticn grant
ed the company the use of the street

amend this by making 1t two years, re-

Mr.. Seaton thought 1t Improbable
that the company would remove it's

time OF occupation of the hospital and
the home to ten years or as much OF
that period as the city desired and the
right of a patient at the hospital to

stefan.
Amendments Opposed.
There was much discussion on this
latter amendment. Councilmen Pol
lock, Powell and Mills felt that the
regulations which now prevail in the
conduct OF affairs at the hospital
should continue under the proposed
change of location--that the city coun-
Gil should appoint the board Of ply
sicians. under whose charge the man
agement OF the hospital should con-
unue. with the direct supervision OF
the administrative board.
Mr.. Umlauf advocated the amend
mont. and submitted an addition.
which strengthens 1t in that II permits
any physician to practice at the hos
pital, provided the board determines
him . suitable and competent man.
Vote n Taken.
In the midst Of the discussion
which appeared to have become In
terminabls, Mr.. Moore moved to re-
commit This brought Mr.. Radcliffe
to his feet to object to the recon-
initial, and Mr.. Fuller threw some

for the selection Of a team to repre-

be held at Berlin in 1915. This step is
due largely to the great interest evinc-
in the games by President Poincare

A sum of 10000 pounds sterling will
be requisite for the training OF the
team and other expenses in connec-
ton with the games. For this purpose
the government will be asked to open

sporting associations have voted a
sum of 1000 pounds sterling a year to
be spent annually for three years in

Saturday and Sunday last, when the
Hilo Iron Works and the Olaa teams
were beaten, the former by 10 to 3

The game between the Railroad

The game played on Sunday fore

hat Olaa will give a much better ac-

HILOl Sept. 5.-Ben de MeIlo is

In the Armory on Saturday evening,
the 18th inst, and an excellent card
has been arranged. 1t may be men
toned that Hoao is some is to 20
pounds heavier than the local man
and has fought some good fights in
Honolulu. He and de Mello met some
time back, fighting a 12-round draw.
The coming match should be a good
one, for since the time OF meeting
H0ao. there. is no question but that
de MeIlo has improved. while Hoao
has not been doing a great deal of
ring work of late.
As preliminaries, PaglinawaI, the
Filipino humorist, who SPARED with
de MelIo week or so ago, is matched
with Klemme, and it is possible that
he will enter the ring with consider
ably more confidence than he evinced
against de Mello. Klemme is a boxer
OF some skill and will probably out
point the Filipino, but it is question
able il be can last out hard-fought
battle.

ent, Sylvester It is unfortunate that
All Fook has been out Of the game
so long. for at one time he was IA
'vorite with the ringsiders. 1t is hard
ly likely that he can get into anything

count of his proven gameness Syl-
