more to Avith bicycle racing. But
racing on the scenic trnrk- ha? not
ended. There is in store for the thou
sands of Honolulu people who like the
track events any number cf good pro
grams.
;Aii association of young men who
agree that good, clean racing should
be continued here will take hold of
Cyclomere on a lease. The young men
are all responsible citizens, well known
and would not under any circumstances
allow their names to be used or iden
tify themselves with other than cor
rect sporting. There are five in the
hui, and fous are riders. Two of the
riders have been very prominent in all
the meets at the track.
During the forenoon today an ar
practically settled upon yesterday, will
be entered into formally by the sign
ing of 'papers. An ear'y announce
ment will be made of the first meet
under the direction of the Company.
The racers ivill probably be given
about two weeks in which to train.
In the meantime the track and grounds
will receive such repairs and attention
as may be required. Comparatively
little damage has been done by the re
cent storms.
In speaking yesterday of the report
that the track was to be used for rac
ing again, LYir. jjesKv saia: it is noi
necessary, pernaps, to say again, uiai
I am in earnest in my intention to
have personally, nothing more to do
with bicycle racing. It has worried
me too much, and then I have more
important matters that demand about
all the time one man can command. I
will make considerable money by doing
away with Cyclomere park and sell
ing the lots, particularly since it is
settled that the Iron Works are in
time going to that neighborhood. How
ever, I will sacrifice something for the
sake of encouraging a sport of which
so many people here are fond. I will
not stand in the way of some one else
handling the track if they are capable
and responsible people. The boys who
, i ii. . & I
are now negotiating nave tne i-uim-
dence of the best people in Honolulu
and I believe they will be successful.
I have refused to entertain anj' pro
posal to let the track out from week
to week or month to month. I would
listen to no lease term of less than
half a year. I have told them that it
may be said that it is the same a
settled that a deal will go through.
It had been a hope of mine from the
time I started operations in Kewalo
that Cyclomere could be kept as a
place of resort. There is nothing finer
of the kind in any country. The neo-
p!e to a large extent seemed to think
the samp, but there wer some trouble
makers who made the thing a burden
to me and to ray other business. So
far as I am concerned now, the track
may run along for quite a time if the
public approves of it."
One of the yourg men who will lead
in the operations of the hui pays f
the future of the enterprise: ""We are
going into this thing to keep racing
alive here. We believe that in time the
people will come to the frame of mind
that they will refuse to allow any
thought of dispensing with the track.
It is a fine pleasure place for every
body, whether they know anything
about wheeling or not. We have ro
idea of piling up lots of money for
ourse'ves. Indeed, we shall be satis
fied if the venture pay? us a very mod
erate return in a strictly business way.
Five of us will put in considerable cf
our time and we shall be compelled
to hire some help. We do not claim by
any means that we will revo'utionizp
racing or show the people such sport
as they never heard of, but we will be
mighty careful and painstaking in
everything. In the first place r.ere
will not be entertained for an instant
from any quarter the slightest s;gn of
rowdyi?m. Person? who canno be
have themselves will b promptly tak
en frcm the track. We are goi"g to
improve racing and avoid a whole lot
of wransding by pacing every scratch
race. This was advocated by a num
ber from the first, but was not done.
AT
We can afford it, because two of our
boys will do little else. We hope to be
able to offer such prizes as will attract
the riders and to satisfy them in all
other ways and we hope to have pro
grams that will insure good patron
age. We have talked with a number
of men whose endorsement will be of
great assistance and without a single
exception we have received encourage-mnt."

HANDCAR.
Wheels Pass Over a Workman
On the Railroad.
There was a very distressing acci
dent on the Oahu railroad near Makua
at about 9 a. m. yesterday. iA handcar
with a number of workmen and their
tools was, being sent out and was going
along at a pretty speedy rate, when
near the barking sands, Wm. N. Ly-
dick, one of the workmen, was thrown
forward on the ground. The wheels
passed over Lydick in the region of
the abdomen and one of his ankles.
The car was stopped and the injured
man made as comfortable as possible.
He was brought to town on the 1
o'clock train and taken immediately
to the Queen's hospital. Upon examin
ation, Lydick was found to be very
dagerously injured. The car, passing
over him in the region of the abdomen.
caused internal injuries that will be
difficult to heal. Lydick is an Ameri
can, aged 38 years,' and is a trusted
workman on the railroad, lie was
perfectly conscious upon arrival at the
lospital and told of the accident which
resulted so seriously for himself.

ot the important features in the new
uin, to insure tne letting ot tne li
censes only in communities where the
majority of the residents favor them,
is in the provision that applicants must
first obtain the endorsement of the
majority of the responsible members
of the district. The number of licenses
for each district is regulated by the
number of inhabitants and the road
traffic. With the exception of four
districts the number of licenses for
each is restricted to three. Waikiki.
Moanalua and Kapalama shall be
granted each one in this district, pro
vided any are allowed. The licenses
are to be placed at $200 each
Senators Holstein and Schmidt of
the committee say, in recommending
tne substitute bill: "The reiport of the
-Marshal and the respective Sheriffs
snow mat. tne illicit seinng oi spiritu
ous liquors is being carried on with
out being checked in other districts
and that some legislation covering the
grounds mentioned in the measure
should be enacted
The free importation of California
wines, was a temperance measure, and
such licenses as these will insure the
means in the outer districts against
the drinking of such stuff, as now are
illicitly sold."
Senator Baldwin of the committee
reported as follows: "I am not in favor
of saloons, but illicit traffic, especially
in the outer districts, has increased to
such an extent that it seems to be wise
to bring the traffic under better con
trol and more under the surveillance
of the police by well guarded law. The
Sheriffs of the Islands urge that this
be done. The law proposed is well
guarded and no license can be issued
under its provisions in any district
except on the approval of the responsi
ble citizens of the district in writing."
The amendment to the tax act pre
sented by the Finance Committee was
returned from the Printing Commit
tee and considered. The discussion
which it provoked was principally on
the definition of the word "merean

a number of cases under the act as it
was enforced in 1897, it was asserted

In one sense it might be considered
purely a mercantile establishment, in
another it would clearly come within
the meaning of the schedule. For this
reason the amendment was not suffi
ciently defined.
Both the Attorney-General and Min
ister Damon were opposed to the am
endment. The former took the ground
that it would practically defeat the
purposes of the tax act in part as
there would be no method of determin
ing what was a mercantile business
if no returns were to be made. The
nresient. act. he areued. called for a
return and :t was on that basis that
the tax assessor performed his work.
If the amendment, that mercantile
houses should make no statement,
should be enforced the assessor could
mike no estimates except on the vo
luntary returns of the houses them
selves. He suggested that if the Sen
ate insisted on the amendment it
should be so worded that it could be
ma:'e to apply only to section CS into
which it was to be incorporated. Other
sections were included under the head
0f "Tax Return," and the amendment j
might be construed to include then
also.
Minister Damon said he saw a. grave
danger in the amendment, that it
might be construed to include more
than even its promoters contemplated
and even to render the act Inoperative
in part. He advised (UMiWntinn .10
a
after adjournment of the Legislature
the Government would be left for two
years and the Finance Department in
its estimates for revenue must have
something definite to work upon.
The amended bill was referred for
consideration to a special committee,
the members of which were to be ap
pointd later.
The report of the Committee on
Public IantU recommending setting
apart the land at Aala and the old Ma
li iki baseball grounds for free public
recreation grounds was adopted and
the bill went to the Committee on
Knrollment.
The House bill relating to a new
division of tax appeal districts and
placing the appointment of appeal
courts in the hands of the President,
was passed section by section on sec
ond reading. Third reading was set
for Wednesday.
Senator McCandless introduced his
bill making plumbing regulations for
the Kona district of Oahu. Tho bill la
a voluminous document. In it are in
corporated specific regulations in oper
ation in American cities providing for
pipes, faucets draining and the like.
It also provides for the appointment
by the Board of Health of a Board
of Examiners, the chairman of which
shall be the Superintendent of Public
Works, exofficio, with two other mem
bers who shall be master plumbers.
All plumbers shall be examined by this
Board before licenses shall be issued
to them. For the licenses the master
plumbers shall pay $5 and the journey
men $1. All plumbing work and spe
cifications for work shall be inspected
and approved by an Inspector to bo
appointed by the Board of Health.
Provisions are made for enforcing the
regulations and penalties are attached.
The bill passed first reading and "went

Senators Kauhane and Holstein were

Hep. Pogue reported for the Finance
Committee to whom was referred page
3 and lines 3G and 37 inclusive on page
of Senate Bill 3. After recommend
ing slight amendments, the report
goes on to say:
"We find that Messrs. Bishop & Co.
hold as collateral, the same having
been paid by them, a voucher approv
ed by the Minister of Finance, for
the printing of certificates of deposit
amounting to $4 474.93, and that
through some oversight this item has
been heretofore overlooked. We do
therefore recommend that on Page 4,
between lines 45 and 4G, a new item bo
inserted: Printing certificates of de
posit, $4474.95. We further find that
in the Postal Bureau there is an un
paid bill for printing postal cards or
expenses connected therewith of $713.
50. This amount is unpaid through no
oversight or neglect of the Postal
Bureau, as this bill was never pre
sented until a short time since, al
though contracted iMarch 30th, 1897.
We do therefore further recommend
that the following item be inserted:
"Printing 80,000 postal cards, $713.50."
The report was laid on the table to
be considered with the bill.
Rep. Loebenscein presented the re
port of the Committee on Public Lands
on various petitions and resolutions.
Referred to the Printing Committee
to be printed.
Rep. Pogue asked for 30 days exten
sion of time for the Finance Commit
tee to consider the rapid transit and
HMo Electric Railway bills. Rep. Rob
ertson objected saying that 15 days
was ample. The vote on 15 days stood
5 to 5, Vice-Speaker Kaai voter! on
"Rep. Robertson's side."
Rep. Paris presented the following
petitions from Kona:
1. $25,000 for wide-ning and improv
ing the present road from Kaohe to
Aleka and extending to the Kau boun
dary. (Continued on Page 2.)
