AQUA MARINE
A Last Chance at
Beach Lots!

WHERE THE ROAD LEAVES
w Kapiolani Park on the east, 1t
passes few houses and then comes out
on an open space skirting the ocean.
This is low and level at first, but further
on rises to higher ground, whence the
views seward, south and west, are
genuine FiStdS of HdaOQN. The
lapis-laz of the deep sea, starred with
the sails of passing vessels, breaks into
turbulent foam where it meets the outer
reef, and "sliding its snow-white and
swift avalanches" into the inner lagoon,
the waters, taking their tone from the
corals below AMI the skies above, now
break forth into an extravaganza of color
as they hasten in subdued merriment to
the shore of yellow sand "In stiffness
far away, like phantoms, rise the hills o!
Waianae," while the bald-headed sum
NIT of Diamond Head looms up behind,
almost over you, with startling distinct
ness, but with benignant and fatherly
expression withal.
Besides this ideal environment,
AQud-Mari9ae enjoys some substantial
advantages as we'll. This strip OF land
between the road and the shore is di-
yided into ten large lots, varying in size
from half TO three quarters of an acre,
each one fronting makai on the sea and
mauka on the road for from 100 TO $50
feet. Government water is laid on along
the fronts Gf these lots on the road. The
sea-bathlng is not very good as regards
| the footing on account OF the coral, but
can be improved by dynamite as re-
CARDS the sea-water it is first-class. The
! trade winds are not shut off by Diamond
/ Head, but, sweeping around the south
| east side of the bluff, blow freshly across
these lots from the sea, the wind being
perceptibly cooled by its passage over
the water and carrying with it the tonic
quality OF the salt spray. The reef is Il
famous fishing ground, and the fish are
| free to those who can crcumvent them.
Shelltish are abundant and ambrosial.
| The road skirting these lots is being
| extended by the Park Association, and
further on has been carried high up
along the face of the bluff, giving wide
and beautiful outlook 1t is TO be con-
tinued around Diamond Head returning
to the Park on its mauka side mi when
finished will BE- one of the most pictur-
esque drives near Honolulu, Astounding
in great variety OF delicious views.
The tramway is to be extended
through the Park, which will bring ii

this direction according to its prelimin
airy surveys, it will come within few
rods Of these lots, which would brins
