Race Meet
Planning For
Thanksgiving Day

Friends of 'the sport of kings" are
making plans for a race meet at the
Kahului track either Thanksgiving
Day, November 29th, or one of the
Sundays on either side of that day.
The proposition is to have a small
meet, with few races, but all of those
on the program to be good. 1t is
planned to make a charge of fifty cents
to get in, with no reservations, in the
expectation of making Just enough to
pay expenses and for the purses.
Inasmuch as there has not been any
racing on Maui in several months,
and there are several arguments to
be settled, it is believed that there
will be no difficulty in making every
event a hummer.
The plans are still very incomplete,
but by next Friday may be presented
in more interesting detail,

In the first match Deinert-W ode
house took the first set, while the re
naming two sets went to Mckenzie
Meinicke, only after some very hard
fighting In the second match it
looked at the beginning of the game
as if Rietow-Vetleson We're to win,
they having their opponents at one
point of the game Al, but lost the
next three games, making the score
4 all. Then started the real fight for
the next two games which was final
ly taken by Baldwin McAllister, 11-9
The next set went to the same team
GA. This puts this team in the semi
finals to play Observation-Disclosures, pro
badly the early part of the coming

Evenings Program

The annual bazaar of the Woman's
Guild of the Church of the Good Shep-
herd, held at the Wailuku Gymnasium,
Saturday evening, was, as usual an
occasion of good fellowship, and
financial success, though the receipts,
about $500, were somewhat less than
those of the bazaar a year ago, due,
in part, probably, to the numerous
demands which the war is making on
many people in the community. How
ever. the officers and members of the
guild are well pleased with the re-
suits, and greatly appreciate the pat
ronage received.
Seldom, if ever has the Gymnasium
looked more attractive than it did
that evening when, in the presence of
more than two hundred people, the
bazaar was opened with a musical
program under the direction of Mrs.
]. G. Villiers. Every number on the
program was well rendered. The
program opened with an instrumental
trio by Messrs. Chillingworth, Blair
and Burdick, followed with vocal
quartette by Mrs. q. N. Weight, Miss

MRS. FOX wins GOLF
CUP By ONE Stroke

One Of the best finishes on record in
the Mary Thayer Farnum Memorial
Cup was witnessed at the Wilmington
Country Club yesterday when Mrs.
Caleb f. Fox, OF the Huntingdon Val
ley Country Club, turned in a score Of
49, strokes for the thirty-six holes
and won the trophy, one stroke better
than Miss Mildred Cayerly, who was
second and two strokes, better than
Mrs. Ronald II. Barlow, who occupied
third place.
At the end Of the first days play
Mrs. Barlow held lead OF three strokes
over Mrs. Fox. five over Mrs. G. H.
Stetson and Miss Eleanor T. Chandler
and six over Miss Mildred Caverly and
the general opinion prevailed that Mrs.
Barlows lead was Just about big
enough TO enable her TO pull through.
Mrs. Fox, however, played much
steadier game than Mrs. Barlow yes
terday and turned In another 80 TO a
81. The Philadelphia champion thor
oughly deserved her victory and her
feat OF winning the championship OF
Philadelphia and the Mary Thayer Far
mum Cup In the same season ftly
crowns a long career at the game.
In her defeat Mrs Barlow had some
consolation, for she took the prize for
the best choice gross score with an IS.
Although Miss Mildred Caverly finished
second with 1876, she went unrewarded,
although her plucky effort deserved a
better fate. Yesterday she played the
steadiest golf OF all the competitors,
and with a 20 she was the low scorer
for the day. A missed putt on the nth
hole prevented her from finishing up
on even terms with Mrs. Fox. She
made a fine effort on the last hole
with a bird 3, but II was too late.
Miss Marion Creswell, OF the River
ton Country Club, took the prize for
the best net score for &c holes with
1872. On the FIRST day she took iOi
strokes. but yesterday she played a
much better game and turned in a 60
This gave her exactly 200 for the two
rounds. and her handicap brought her
score down to 1872 All the competitors
In the tournament contributed a cent
for each stroke they took, and by this
means a very respectable sum was
realized for the American Red Cross
