THE BIG AFFAIR
OF THIS WEEK
Weather Unfavorable But Crowds
Large And Everybody Enjoyed
The Playing
SOME OF THE PRINCIPAL RESULTS
The following account of the trip
of the Maul baseball team to Molokal
was prepared by a member of the
party:
The big tennia meet on, the Puu
nene courts, In which the Coast, Ho
nolulu and local players vied for first
honors, was highly interesting, as had
been anticipated, despite the fact that
the weather was exceedingly fiad
throughout most of the period of the
tournament. It Is doubtful that worse
weather for the pleasures of tennis
could have have been conceived of,
and there was considerable question
at the time as to who was to blame
for It. Some of the Maul players
were sure that the Hilo visitors were
to blame, but Mr. G. H. Vicars denied
this most emphatically and pointed
out, quite rightly, that the storm was
coming from another direction en
tirely. Many of the players came from Ha
waii on the Mauna Kea Friday night,
Intending to land at Lahaina. The
ocean was so rough, however,, that
there was no prospect of reaching the
wharf there, bo they were transferred
at sea to the steamer Claudine, com

landing being effected at the latter
place about daylight. The change of

Birdman's Plans
For Flight From
Oahu To Kahului
Major Clark Looks Over Situation
And Decides On Route To Be
Followed
WILL ARRIVE IN ABOUT A WEEK
Major H. M. Clark, the aviator who
has been making fights around Hono
lulu and expects to visit Maui in his
sea-plane in the course of a week or
ten days, was here early in the week,
coming from Hilo and continuing on
back to Honolulu Wednesday night.
He came here for the purpose of
studying out the most desirable land
ing places, air and other conditions.
His plan on leaving was about as
follows: He will leave Honolulu on
a day to be announced later, at
about 9 o'clock in the morning; will
go over the leper settlement on Molo
kai, reaching Maui near Lahaina,
thence down the coast toward Maala
ea and across the Island to Kahului
where he will alight on, the water of
the bay. He expects, in view of the
somewhat circuitous route, to take
about an hour and a half from Hono
lulu to Kahului, reaching the latter
at about 10:30 o'clock in the morn
ing. A part of the day will be spent on
Maui and in the afternoon the major
will fly back again to Oahu, going
direct and taking not over an hour,
perhaps.
The Maul News has arranged to
have wireless notice sent over on the
morning the Major leaves Honolulu,
giving the exact (or very nearly)
time of his arrival at Kahului, and an
effort will be made by this office to
inform the public of the time.
Major Clark is a young man, hav
ing graduated from West Point only
four years ago. He is a '
Minnesota, and his father was an offi
cer of the 13th. Minnesota regiment
which passed through Honolulu in
1898 on its way to Manila. He Is an
expert aviator and is the official head

ter visiting Maui it is his intention
to make the longer trip from Honolu
lu to Hilo, possibly passing around
the south side of the island of Ha
waii. T
