What is Best for Maui
is Best for the News
Celebration
atPuunene
Athletic Sports Better Than
Ever Before.
Nowhere else on the Hawaiian
Islands could such n celebration take
plaoe, nt was held at Puunene last
Saturday. 'Honolulu can make more
noise, and draw larger crowds, per
haps, at their annual Floral parade,
but Honolulu could never give a
Inn-vent festival such as was held on
.Maui last Saturday. '' It reminded
one somewhat of the grand old
. county fairs back in New England,
where the cares and worry of business
" are shaken off, and tlie old Income
young again for it day.
The sports were carried on con
tinuously from nine o'clock in the
inoniing, when the tennis experts
of Otihu and Maui began struggling
for the mastery of the Pacific. Ten
nis was followed by a long list of
aquatic sports in the new tank just
(completed. ,
The Puunene people have the
reputation of doing things, well, and
they have certainly outshone them
selves in this latest addition, to
their athletic grounds. There is
nothing to compare with it in the
islands, and it will not suffer by
comparison with anything to be seen
on the coast. The pool is 75 feet
(Jong by about 45 feet wide, with
ample room on all sides for specta
tors. At one end is a bowling alley
with the regulation length for the
alleys.
The tennis match was won by the
experts of Oahu, by. 105 games to
75. When they took to the water,
however, the Mauiites overwhelmed
them; in fact they swam circles
around them. Some of the Honolulu
conticent be came a bit suspicious
after the first race, when they found
themselves badly defeated, that the
Maui swimmers were web-footed,
but there was nothing to it.
In the 150 yards relay the teams
were as follows:
' Maui Taylor, Short, Hanson,
Westcoatt. Walker, Hughes (capt.)
Oahu Low, Iiosecrans, Turner,
fiihb: Castle. Waterhousc.
The Puunene bunch took the lead
from the start and Hughes got home
in the final spurt a tank length in
front of Watcrhouse,
who swam a
strong relay.

As soon as tho tennis match was
overa corps of carpenters commenced
the construction of a dancing floor,
42x80, on thn courts where, a few
minutes before, athletic figures had
been iucclinK tho elusive ball with
their rackets. By 4 p. m. tho thing
was completed, and all was ready
for tho danco. The pavilion was
brilliantly lighted and a happy
representative company danced

Politics
lore Candidates Are Coming
Forward.
Several new eaudidates have risen
hove the Maui political horizon
uring the week, and politics arc
airly seething and bubbling within
the County.
From Makawao, where a rcpubli-
an district nomination means an
election, the report comes that Geo.
Copp will run for county supervisor
against W. F. Pogue, the present
upervisor who is out for rcnoniina-
tion on the Republican ticket. Also
that Manuel Deponte1 of P;iia will
contest with A. J. Gomes nhd E.-B.
Carley for the republican nomina
tion to the lower house from that
district.
Alljof the present County ollicers
will seek renomination. They are
W. E. Saffery, County. Sheriff; W,
Kaao, County Clerk; Chas. Wil-
i i . r - r 1 .
cox, Auditor; 1j. m. jjaiuwui,
Treasurer, and D. H. Case, County
tVttorney.
During the week friends of W.
Scott of Paia and Edgar Morton,
deputy sheriff of Makawao, have
announced that the two are out
fter tho republican homination for
county sheriff against W. E. Saffery.
nother report has it that, the
parties seeking to wrest the republi
can nomination for the shrievalty
from Saffery, .want him to run for
another office, which fits in with a
rumor that Saffery will be looked
after and provided for.
In tho Wailuku district no pro
minent Republican has come for
ward to seek the nomination for
Counly Supervisor, but perhaps the
candidates will show up plentifully
after the primaries are over. On
the Democratic side it seems assured
that T. B. Lyons will be re-nomi
nated to succeed himself. Mr. Ly
ons, even republicans adinii, nas
been a good supervisor for the dis
trict, and, but for the political pur
poses only, there are no good reasons
why ho should bo thrown out of office.
Tho fusionists are said to have a
complete state for County Officers
wanting only a County Attorney
A call to have the Bepublican
Fifth Precinct Club meet yesterday
evening and rc-organizo caused soine
stir among the Republicans, and at
this writing tho date of the meeting
has becu postponed to Tuesday
evening next. The object it is said
is to weed out the names of dead
members, the names of those who
have left the precinct as well as the
names of a few who have gone over
to the other political camps.

The News man was acquainted

articles of tho yellow press. He
says if Mr. Ilobson would only
come to Japan and get acquainted
with the people he would soon learn
the true feeling of the Japanese to
ward America. England and Japan
are closely allied by written docu
ments, he says, but the alliance -between
Japan' and America is written
on the hearts of his countrymen.
America is looked upon by the
Japanese as a foster father.
Professor Abbe says that whtfii he
is called upon to draw tho attention
of his classes to.some great person
ality, ho invariably selects some
American, and ho thinks Roosevelt
is tho greatest living example of
true 'manhood. Other men are big

es and craters in the Hawaiian Is

went to see tho volcano, out was un
able to secure a guide for tho more
perilous ascent of Mauna Loa. Dr.
Bruns, becauso of his coarso attire,
was taken for a laborer, while on
the big Island, and complains that
tho hotel keepers in Hilo treated
him with scant courtesy. For the
past week tho professor has been
camping in tho crater of Halcakala
and ho makes the positive assertion
that the volcano is not yet extinct
Dr. Bruns also went into law Val

Tho party returned to Wailuku last
evening, and aro loud in their praise

Maui Wins
At Baseball
apanese Team Play in
O Hard Luck.
Wednesday, Thursday, and Fri-
ay, the baseball team irom nseda
University, of Tokyo, Japan, and a
team composed of the best players;
on Maui, gave us somo very good
xhibitions of the- national game.
On Wednesday, whether because
they were afraid of Waseda, or.just
plain nervousness, the Maui team
could make no headway against the
Japanese, and only once in the en-
ire game did it look as though they i
would score, and then a perfect
irow to the plate by the Japanese
ecnterfioldor, caught Ayau as he
made a groat slide forborne.
The game Thursday, showed a
great reversal of form. The Maui
team were full of ginger and seemed
to have the jump oil their Japanese
opponents at all times. The Japanese
were dangerous in every inning, but
the local boys seemed to anticipate
their every play and beat them to it.
Oi, the crack pitcher of Waseda,
the man Whom the Reach All'-Amc-!
icas claimed was tho best pitcher
in Japan was sent in to' do the
twirling for his team, but he had an
off day, and could not seem to get
control, nor did he have any speed,
and the Maui team are to be con
gratulated that they caught him on
one of his bad days, because when
ie, is right he is an extremely hard
man to hit. However, bo that as
may, Maui deserves grout , credit
for winning, as theyplayed Jiaseball
all the time. Any team that can
keep Waseda from scoring when
they get three men on bases, with
ho outs as they did in the Seventh
inning Thursday, can certainly play
ball, and the Maui team as it play
ed this game would put up a fight
with any teams in the islands.
The score Wednesday was 9 to 0
in favor of Waseda, on Thursday 3
to 1 in favor of Maui, and the third
ganio is being played as we go to
press.
