formed ~ the athletes adjusting
their hmbcr and well shaped forms
in fancDfu poses TO the ladders and
toward each other.
The Indian club swinging by The

proficient state Mr.. Loheide showed
he had brought his pupils. His own
graceful posing in fantastic attitudes,
resting ON his hands alone, was Of a
finished order Of athletics.
The concluding part was that of
the ground pyramids. Antoine Ke

ing was made by the contingent, to
which the rehearsal photographs had
done only faint Justice. "Down
Went McGinty," as the sudden col
lapse at the close was called, was
very amusing as well as clever.
lnterspersed with the athletics was
fine program Of music. Prof. L.
j. Ordway gave some Of his peerless
selections on the banjo, also played
on the musical bottles. He was en-
cored and double encored, and last
time he came out struck funny
chord by playing hula tune on the
bottles. The kamehameha Glee
Club, led by Mr.. Theo. Richards,
appeared twice on the program, but
as many more times on the stage
from recalls. Mr. W. f. Herrick,
jr., gave selections pretlily on the
guitar, Mr.. Geo. Kalaau joining him
after an encore in duet on tie one
instrument, a novelty that was much
appreciated.
Mr.. j. W. Jones. leader of the
Association, by his intelligent stage
management contributed to the sue
