HONOLULIpS RACE
TRACK PROJECT
ASSURED
Chance That in the Near Fu-
ture Up-to- Date Sporting
Grounds Will Be
Available j..

The cat has jumped out Of the bag
at last. and Honolulu's new race track
project is now public property For
some time past 1t has been known
here by those ION the inside" that a
little hui of keen sportsmen had been
working for months on the plan of a
sport park for the city, but for rea-
sons connected with the business
deal, only vague rumors have been
published to date.
Now, however, the seal of secrecy
has been lifted, the story being gem
orally known in Hilo, and filtering
rom that city back to the place OF
origination.
The new park will include a race
track, polo field. baseball diamond
and athletic oval, and will be up to
date in every particular.
The Hilo correspondent Of the
Star.Bulletin has the following to
say in regard to the new project.
Very definite information that a
race horse track Is to be started in
Honolulu on a big plan, has been
known to prominent horsemen of Hilo
for some time, although there has
been no announcement OF such inten-
ton in the Honolulu newspapers.
From the sources most familiar
with the intentions OF the Honolulu
promoters, ii is stated that the RAJ
pid Transit Company of Honolulu is
lacking the scheme, even to the ex-
tent of providing the land for the en-.
terpTise, for which IL is willing TO
lake stock in the company.
The old baseball grounds on the
Kaimukl side of Pawaa junction Is to
be the location of the intended race
park, and Robert Single of Honolulu
rs said TO be one of the enthusiastic
promoters. The capital stock OF the
company Is to be 100000 and as
many horsemen as possible are to be
interested In the matter.
So far has the matter progressed,
Il is claimed, that q superintendent
for the park has already been select
cd. He is a farmer horseman. who
some years ago was looatedrin the
islands, but more recently hos been
On the coast.
Tic Is now again In the islands and
is quoted as. saying that he expects
to return to the coast, for matter OF
enc or two months, but will return at
the end OF that time. The inference
is that he is going to the coast to in
terest hcrsemen there and to make
necessary arrangements for carrying

lulu park.
There has been much secrecy
about the whole proposition, every
one who has been informed of the
matter being admonished to say
nothing about it. but SO many have
been told that it is now almost com
mon knowledge in Hilo.

Chinese ALMOST
LOST THE GAME

The Chinese opened the eyes OF
California ball critics on their first
appearance against tie st. Mary's
college team, but. according to San
Francisco. they almost lost out by
over confidence.
The San Francisco Chronicle says:
Had Sam Hop and his aggregation
Of ball tossers from the Chinese Uni
versity OF Hawaii not started to kid
the st. Mary's college team yesterday
at the Grove street grounds, Oakland,
they would have hung a decisive vic
tory on the Oakland boys. The slant
eyed athletes gathered the spoils by
a score of ~ to IL, but they had the
St Mary's lads buffaloed until they
became too sure of victory and start
ed a lot of funny stuff. The Oakland
students resented being kidded, and
they came back with rally in the
ninth inning which almost brought
them victory. T..
The Chinese know how to play ball.
They are fast as lightning on the
bases and toss in punches of inside
ball They have the delayed steal and
the double steal down pat and they
know how to acquire basehits when
such things are necessary. ..
All Heong, the Chinese pitcher,
made the st. Mary's lads look foolish
for seven innings. The Hawaii HEAVIER
had the Oaklanders breaking, their
backs, trying to connect with his
curves. In the eighth the Phoenix
got next to the strangers offerings
and gathered three runs. The celes-
tial was 'all in" and Apau, the first
sacker. went on the mound in the
ninth with the score II to in favor
of the Chinese. Apau got off to a
bad start by walking the first three
men who faced him. but he got out
of trouble by striking out two. -.
En- Sue, the centerfielder of the Chi
nese team, is about the fastest piece
CT humanity seen on local lot in
many a day. He holds all the short
distance running records on the isl
ands and showed his speed yesterday
by stealing five bases and scoring
three runs He also swung in with a
couple of safe clouts. l.. Tin, the sec

Mental Phenomenal?

When prohibitionists are called upon
tosexpiain the prevalence of drunkenness
under an enforcement regime they de-
clare that il is hopeless to expect to keep
liquor away from the confirmed ineb-
rates but that enforcement does tend to
drive the traffic out of sight and thus
protect those who are not already adj
dicted to the liquor habit,
That is plausible statement But it
does not jibe with the report from Port
land that many of the persons arraigned
in the local court are found to be Offend
ers for the first time.--Waterville
Sentinel.
How does our license worshiping
neighbor account for it? Does it think
the traffic is so much greater under
enforcement as to overwhem citizens
not previously addicted to the habit?
Or is it convinced that all the forces
of the liquor interests, sellers and
drinkers, are devoting themselves to
creating new appetites that profits
may resume when enforcers of the
Law become weary and disheartened
Perhaps our up-river contemporary
has up its sleeve some psychological
demonstration of this cutting across
of human calculations, but to practical
.sfolkso 1t appears more like air-casties
buiided on false premises For, certain
1t is that never was 50 little booze in
circulation in Maine as at the pres
ent time. More workmen are regular
puuetual and competent; more chill
dren are wearing good shoes and eat
mig good breakfasts; more wives wear
smiling faces, than at any period In
memory of this or any other genera
tion in Maine.
On the other hand, while officials are
determined, efficient and punetilous,
never in the State, as whole, since
the population reached any where near
its present figures. have there been
SO few arrests; so few cases of assault
or disorderiy conduct; so few Drawing
men on the streets; so few women in
suited, Disguised and ashamed OF
their fellow beings; so few boys learn
ing to think that coarseness, ribaldry
and brutality is manly, as now. Our
neighbor can bring no proof to dis
count these facts, much as it may
squirm, but it is welcome to ascribe
the changed conditions to the wealth

Wild Horses in Alberta.

The Peace river country :, in. western
Alberta and eastern British Columbia has
suffered SO much frops flre dapredations
of wild horses that@the Alberta minister
of agriculture has urged on the Dominion
government the necessity of some steps
being taken. The Peace river country
has been one of the principal pioneering
regions of western Canada during the
last few wears. Wild horses have made
raids on the ranches of new settlers, kill
ing many of the domestic horses and
leading away number of the well breL
domestic mares, which had been import
ed at considerable cost and which were
one of the principal assets of the new set
tiers. According to ottawa statistics
horses are supposed to be descendants OF
horses abandoned during the gold rush ia
the Yukon territory in 1898. From the
Bow river westward these animals have
raided the ranches of the settlers as TAI
as kamoops, and contractors on the
Grand Trunk Pacific railway have SUIT

The Passing of Gaynor.

The nation is deprived of one of its
most remarkable individuals by the
death at sea of Mayor William jay
Gaynor of New York City. His
courage was beyond question. his
mentality was highly developed. and
his native shrewdness many times
saved him from disastrous alliances.
He cast off the collar of Tammany
Immediately upon his election. yet his
attitude toward the organization and
the police department scandal brought
severe censure upon him and resulted
in the formation of the Fusion party
in the city.
For weeks he has been besought by
New, York newspapers. to leave the
field and suppert the Fusionist ticket.
Buoyed up,' however. by stirring
public demonstration seeking his
candidacy, Gaynor steadfastly refused.
His ocean voyage was to prepare him
for this campaign.
Taking Into consideration all his
faults. the opinion of most capable
and non partisan students of city
government that his administration
was the best the city has realized in
many years must outweigh all adverse
criticism. His eccentricities and his
apparently inconsistent political
views are more than overbalanced by
his sterling record as a jurist AMI
ruler.
Practically speaking, Mayor Gay
nor's death relieves an almost incom-
prehensible confusion in the New York
political field. 1t is believed the
majority of his supporters will turn TO
the Fusionist ticket in the desperate
gfapple with Tammany. The tiger is
COMPOUNDED by the elimination of di-
vision in the rival forces and the con-
seauenti threat. 1t is the long await
ed opportunity for the opposition to
subdue it's differences and unite for
the good of the city, the state and the
nation

Democratic Program Wrong.

The Boston Transcript, Qnd) on

ic of other defeats to come
SO strikinely true is that brief state
ment that we believe the Maine ver-

The Pittsburg Chronicle Telegraph
puts it this way:
Whether we are to benefit foreign
ers by admitting a flood of foreign
made goods so vast that the low i'm
ports thereon will be adequate to the
needs of our treasury, or to burden
Americans with direct tax on their
earnings to prevent governmental

Batting Roosevelt.
(New[York Herald)


y fine opportunity for batting MI.
Roosevelt and his progressive follow
ers is afforded by the special election
for member of the House of Repre-
sentatives in the Third Maine district.
The slump" was not as great as II
was in the election in St Louis last
spring, when the Progressive party
almost entirely disappeared, but Ii
was enough to demonstrate that the
Progressives cannot hope longer TO
give elections to the Democracy by
running a third ticket. Only by golnS
solidly over to the Democratic party
can they do that.
But the lesson for Democratic lead-
ers to study is that the election Is d
danger signal. 1t has been the fortune
of that party ever since the civil war
to remain a very short time in office.
A duplication of the situation in the
Third Maine district all over the eoun-
try at the Congressional elections
next November would very nearly give
the House of Representatives to the
Republicans in the Sixty-fourth Con-
greSS.
