18th and 18th verses: although

Yesterday was also the festival
of st. Andrew, after whom the ca
thedral is called, and collection
was taken up for foreign missions.
The special music was finely rem
dered by the choir of ladies and
gentlemen, Mr.. Wray Taylor pre-
siding at the organ. Miss Ward,
Messrs. G.. Booth and s. T.. Pierce
rendered their solos with much
skill.
During the day the various
sports took the attention of great
number, both cricket and football
games being we'll attended. Several
yachting parties were out, and
number of others took the railroad
to Pearl Harbor.
Although the occupations of the
day presented quite a diversity,
vet in one particular everyone did
as his neighbor. All had turkey
and cranberry sauce for their din
ner. That is the main reason, IN
most peoples minds, that Thanks
Very Very little was done in the way
of amusements during the evening.
A dancing party was given at Ilani-
wal, which was attended by about
forty, the new 'busses being the
mode of conveyance to the scene OF
festivity. Dancing was kept up
until a late hour.
. THE FOOT BALL GAME.
About $50 people saw the Puma
hous beat the Pacifies playing foot
ball, and the college boys are,
therefore, the champions of Homo
lulu. The score was IL to 4.
The game was the closest ever
seen in Honolulu during the first
half. Each team struggled gal
lantlyfor lead and victory perched
first on the banner of one and then
gently hoped over to the other
side. The half ended with q score
Of four to four.
When the second half opened,
the Punahou's had the wind. For
a while the Pacifics held them down
as well as they had in the first half
but they soon commenced to weak
en-. Not a goal could they get, nor
a touchdown. But the Punahous
were all the time rolling up point
after point, until, when time was
called, they had added eight to
their score, the game standing IL
to 4, and Punahou was champion.
The game had no startlingly bril-
liant plays, but the Punahous
moved together like clockwork.
They played with precision and de-
served the game they won.
Cook, Long, Dayton and Farden
made some splendid rushes, an q
Conradt distinguished himself by a
long run.
Contrary to all established rules
of foot ball, no one was seriously
injured. The clubs come very near
breaking all previous records, ana
not injuring anyone, but inat
would have been unprecedented.
So. as some one had to be injured,
the teams picked on Mr.. Cor6ett OF
the Pacifcs. The boys Wall not
tell whether or not they thought
that he was able TO bear it better
than any one else, on account VI
having such an illustrIous anu
muscular namesake. But the
fact remains that as the second
half was drawing to a close, Cor
bett was thrown, and for moment
knocked senseless, but he soon
recovered, and was not seriously
hurt. His place was taken Dy
James Spencer for the balance OF
the game. .bo
After the game was over, the
two teams climbed in their buses,
and drove away, with the custom
ary cheers. The Punahous yelled
because they had won, and the
Pacifics because they hadn't, but
vanted to make a noise anyway.
rhe winning team went to the Ice
kream parlors and spoiled week s
raining by filing up on ice cream.
In the evening the victorious
lnb gave a dinner at Punahou.
