Hooluuht Park will probably pass from the control of the Volcano Stables & Transportation Company into the hands of a Jockey Club nowin process of organization in this city. Two meetings have been held, at which the terms on which the property was to pass, were discussed. The Jockey Club if organized will become the owner of the race track property and become responsible for its management. Two meetings were called for the purpose this week, but not enough interest was taken to warrant making any plans. It is probable that something will be done later and in time for the next race meeting. Band at Hilo. The past week has been a week of musical excess for Hilo.

Nearly the full compliment of men app-ared i.t line and they were put through the tactics by Captain Fetter very creditably. Hilo’s basebad team may expect a challenge frem the Maui team to play two games at Wailuku on Washington’s birthday. Repairs foi North Hilo Reads.
