Board Finishes Its Sittings After
Hearing Some New Evidence.
The Court on Inquiry convened by
the President on the application of
John Good , concluded its session Sat
urday night. Some new testimony was
presented. This came from witnesses
called by the recorder. Lieut. CarJyle
of H, formerly a sergeant in E, testi
fied that he saw a number of times a
sight in a locker in Good's bed room.
Sergeant Stanmore, at present in E.
testified to the same thing. Capt.
Coyne, said the sight was lying around
Good's room several days. Sergeant
Taylor, Company E, saw the sight on
Good's table once the day sight was
found.
J. D. Tucker was called in rebut-,
tal. Kept a bottle of tonic in the
locker mentioned by Carlyle and Stan-
more during time they say they saw
sight there. Did not see it there. Vis
ited locker twice a day to get tonic.
Mr. Robertson, attorney for Good
stated that two affidavits corroborat
ing Tucker's testimony could be filed.
Leave was given to file the sworn
statements not later than Wednesday
afternoon of this week.
Arguments were made by Mr. Rob
ertson and Captain Kinney. Mr. Rob
ertson contended that Mr. Good was
convicted on circumstantial testimony
and that there was every ground, even
on the testimony given before the
court martial, of reasonable doubt as
to guilt. Captain Kinney spoke pretty
plainly of the attitude in which the
convicted man stood and held that no
thing had been presented to warrant
a reopening of the case.
It is supposed that in a week or so
the court will make a return to the
President. Verv little interest has tak-
en in the affair. While th& inquiry has
been open to all caring to attend, there
have been no spectators. All the at
torneys in the case mentioned pardon
in their arguments. The lawyers of
the convicted man said he would not
care to sue for pardon. This course
was advised or suggested by the court
recorder.

Another Argument for Harness
Racing Change.
A good many people who do not at
all claim to be acnuainted with the
fine points of horse racing, but who
enjoy track contests and who always
patronize the pastime, are becoming
interested in the proposal to have here
after all trotting and pacing events
settled by best two heats in three in
stead of best three in five. Said one
of the interested persons yesterday:
"Some people will argue that it
seems ridiculous to alter down here in
the Hawaiian Islands the rules that
have been in force in the United States
ever since trotting races began. As
a matter of fact the reform originated
over there. The United States has the
harness racing centers of the world.
For some time both breeders and the
public have been asking for the
change. It is being made. Califor
nia may be said to be fairly represen
tative in this matter. There has just
been published the program for two
weeks of racing at Oakland. It has
C2 harness events and not a single
one is a. three m five affair. There
are listed some 50 of pacing and trot
ting mile dashes. The remaining doz
en are best two out of three heats.
Oakland should be plenty good enough
for Honolulu to pattern after.
'T maintain that there is really ab
surdity in making two horses come out
five times to compete for a purse, as
has several times been the case here.
In a two out of three race the best
horse will win and that is not always
so where it is three out of five. There
will not be anything like the oppor
tunity for making combinations when
the dispute is to be settled in three
heats. In the three in five method a
couple of horses can be used against
the best one and kill him off in a cou
ple of heats. This is often done.
"It seems reasonable to me that a
horse beating his field twice shows his
superiority as much as if he is punish
ed several hours. Of course there is
the other side, making the claim that
'skates and crabs' fit only for merry-
go-rounds can be doctored up to go a
couple of heats and best a really sound
and good and valuable horse. The
California men don't appear to think
that this consideration should be reck
oned, even in the matter of a dash. I
tell you horses, winning or losing, are
worked pretty hard in a race and thej
cannot stand so much down here as in
a cold country. Three heats is enough.
"The public will hail the change
with delight, for the three in five af
fairs have become monotonous and un
satisfactory. We cannot have racing
many times a year in Hawaii and when
there is a program it should have vari
ety and should be run off in good time.
Last Saturday the match, settled in
three straight heats took an hour and
a quarter. At the best possible rate
you cannot nave more than two or
three harness races in a day. Here,
the matter will be settled, I suppose.
y the executive committee of the
Jockey Club. They should take everv-
thing into the case and if they do I
think they will vote for two in three
heats. That ought to do for harness
horses when runners go the dashes."
Sub-Connnittcc Chairmen' .Make
Reports and Success is Assured.
Chairman W. J. Kc-nny, Acting
British Commissioner and Consul
General, presided at the Pacific Club
on Saturday evening over the meeting
of the chairmen of committees for
the ball to be given at Independence
rarh. tomorrow evening in honor of
the 70th anniversary of Queen Victo
ria's birthday.
The report of the sale of tickets
by the committeemen, and the ac
ceptance of invitations by distinguish
ed guests was very satisfactory; but
it is hoped that all who desire to aid
the funds of the British Benevolent
Society will avail themselves of the
opportunity of purchasing tickets to
day or tomorrow, in preference to buy
ing them at the door.
The contract for supplying refresh
ments has been awarded to Mr. and
Mrs. T. Krouse of the Arlington, a
sufficient guarantee for their excel
lence. Mr. Robert Catton is at the
head of the refreshment committee
Today Mr. Geo. L. Dale, chairman
of the decoration committee and his
assistants commence their labors.
io customary convenient arrange
ments will be made by the Tramway's
company.
The grand march will take place at
S o'clock or as soon thereafter as the
guests have assembled.
The promise of a most successful
dance is now assured.
Off for America.
Gen. A. S. Hartwell, the attorney
and cable factor, left for the States
by the S. S. China on Saturday. He
goes direct to Washington and it is
supposed his mission is in the cable
interest. At the Government build
ing it was denied at once that Gen.
Hartwell would in any way represent
the Republic while abroad.
Frank Hustace. of Hustace & Co.,
draymen, has gone to the States with
his family. Mr. Hustace has bfien in
baa nealth at different times for a
year and a half and hopes with his
physicians and friends that this trip
will rid him of all sickness.
Holy Land Travel.
The fourth Holy Land travel lec
ture had the largest audience of the
season. It was delivered in the Y. M.
C. A. assembly hall on Sunday after
noon at 4 o'clock to men. Rev. M. L.
Berger, D. D., was the speaker, and as
the case before, there was special
music.
Rev. Mr. Berger has becomea great
favorite with all in Honolulu and the
young men particularly like now to
hear him talk. He was very interest
ing and instructive in telling of his
trip from Jerusalem to Damascus and
the Sea. He traveled under most
favorable circumstances for observa
tion and study and Lis presentation
was graphic.
