people. It was luau given by the
boys in honor of the Kamehameha
baseball nine. which won the cham

them the highest credit. The feast

which had been prettlly decorated
with flags and evergreens. Five
large tables were literally loaded
down with Hawaiian food of every
kind, most deliciously cooked, and
there was an abundance of water
melons and erated waters.

wife, and the staff of the school. The

walls hung group pictures of the
champion team. The handsome bat

When all were seated at the table,

this way of showing their apprecia-

the Championship.
Rev. DR.. g. M. Hyde then said
grace, after which the guests did
ample justice to the good things.
During the luau the Glee Club
sang several selections, under direc-
ton of MIR. Richards. One of the
songs was as follows:
In valley up Kalihi
There's small banana farm,
To cultivate which property
Plenty of boys do swarm.
This farm feeds Honolulu,
Gives gratis, points on cane,
Makes small boys grow and big boys hoe ;
Don't even stop 1Or rain.
We talk little English,
We play little ball,
In fact what we do in these lines
Needs no remark at all.
The frightful amount of poi
On which We daily teed,
Gets us in shape at 6 AN
To pull the festive weed.
We're no great shakes on invalids;
No, thank you, we dom: smoke
Under the circumstances
Its no =" peculiar joke.
We've got scheme much better,
Which authorities allow
Selected boys next week,
Play croquet at Kawaiahao.
Sitting under lanai in front of
the dining hall and on the verandas,
