Omaha Horse Wins.
A hint OF what can be expected at
the Great Western circuit races here
on the fastest half-mile track in the
United States was the great win of
Ben Earl, Edward Peterson's famous
PAGER, at Burlington, Ia. Wednesday.
Ben Earl won in three straight
heats in the 2:l2 pacing class, showing
time of 2:0oA, 2:0734 and 2:07A.
The race was over half-mile track.
Tom Dennison, who has been at
tending race meetings and following
the harness game since he was boy,
has returned from Burlington, declar-
ing that Ben Earl paced the prettiest
heats and made the fastest time for
the 2:l2 class in his experience as a
horseman.
As the East Omaha Speedway

ditioned than the Burlington oval,
horsemen are predicting freely that

While Marty O'Toole was silencing
the hostile artillery in proficient fash

livered pinch blows with much eclat
and Omaha made it three out four
from the tanned and docile Wolves

Also. the obliging Grizzlies wal
loped the daylights out Of the lowly

pennant by five and half games.
Three cheers and hooray.
Little Willie Davis was on the
hurting mound for the Wolves. Little
Willie got away to flying start by
retiring the first eight batters in or
der Then he got careless and with
two out in the third. walked Marty
O'Toole. Earl Smith smashed the
next pitch into left for a safety and
Marty Krug's nheld hit completely
congested the bases. At this period
Shag Thompson made a hero out
of himself Diminutive Shag plaster
ed a swell line-drive single into left
center, scoring O'Toole and Smithy.
Kilduff Doubles.
Davis found the going easy in the
subsequent three rounds, but got into
trouble again in the seventh. Kew
pie Kilduff opened the stanza by
bouncing double off of Coy's shins
Burg flew out and Kewpie advanced
to third on O'Toole's grounder. Earl
Smith made his second hit by beat
ing one out, and Kilduff trotted home.
Davis was derricked in the eighth
for a sniper and Craig BANKED the
Rourkes in the home half of that
spasm.
While all this was going on Marty
O'Toole was subduing the Wolves
easily. Only once did they mark
on him. In the second inning, Coy
singled, took second on Smiths er-

Hilo's water commerce is growing
and Hiio's recommendations must

The businessmen Of the Crescent
City recognize this fact and their
present cramped conditions in respect
to wharfage space 3 q cause Of almost
universal protest.
The closing down of the old rail-
road wharf, tIlroufl condemnation as
'DeinE dar sEf0us has Thrown all the
traffic to Knhio wharf, and KuhIo
wharf at the present time is plainly
inadequate.
The big breakWater project Is far
from finished and much of the pas
senger traffic does not land or en-
bark at the wharf, but through the
medium of boats. Because the sea
end Of Knhio wharf runs into a
pocket with the breakwater, it IS
difficult to maneHyer big liners out
into the stream after they have been
cooked. Then, TOO, when an inter-
Island steamer is arriving or leaving,

whose tracks run upon the wharf,
sometimes has to stop business SO
that pedestrian traffic will not be IN
terfered with. The installation Of
loading machinery has already been
urged strongly.
The wharf has proved itself made
quate in length when vessels are lying
alongside it discharging such cargoes
as lumber, and when other vessels
wish to draw in to disembark passen-
gers.
Hilo people are hoping for relief
md this is a subject quite likely to
be taken up at the next. legislature.
On Tuesday of this week Chairman
Charles r. Forbes Of the department
OF public works returned from Hilo
with the declaration that he viii re-
commend the construction of q new
wharf He outlined his idea as fol-
lows:
Il will recommend to the board

ity Of the present Kuhio wharf, about
500 feet from it.
The new wharf, which In my opin-
ion is necessary there, will be built
on 4 different angle from Kuhio
wharf. SO that both sides can be used
by steamers. Only one side Of the
nav Kuhio wharf Is available - YES
sells.
.Anotlier recommendation intend
making to the harbor board Is to
dredge Kuhio bay so that vessels OF
larger draft, such as the Great Nor
thern and Matsonia, can maneuver
more easily than at present
"The proposed wharf will be about
900 feet by 100 wide, with roof over
its entire length It will be built of
concrete, and will have the latest and
most efficient equipment for handling
sugar and other kinds of freight. 1
shall recommend that the board ask
the next session Of the legislature,
meeting in February. for an appropria-
ton Of 100000 to cover the cost.
However, the inadequacy of the
wharf is in many respects q tribute to
Hilo's growing commerce The fact
that the citizens are looking forward
to better and bigger accommodations
and to the landing of future visitors
closer to the city than the Kuhio loca-
ton is q hopeful sign OF ambition
Board Of Trade Hears Report
In common with its energetic plans
for general city improvement and for
the establishment Of business getting
facilities, the Hilo Board of Trade
has taken up the question of making
Kuhio wharf more efficient At a
meeting Of the Hilo Board Of Trade
recently a special committee, consist
ing Of G. G. Kennedy, Thomas Guard
and e. F. Nichols, made findings as
follows:
$50 far as we can learn, the prin
cipal reason that the transpacific
steamship companies have not made
use of the Kuhio Bay wharf to date
is that the facilities for the rapid and
