The most lovely spot on Oahu is
Sans Souci. This favorite seaside
resort, which has been immortalized
by the pen OF Robert l.. Stevenson,
who resided there for months, is
only four miles from Honolulu and
within easy reach of the tramcars.
The surroundings and bathing at
this famous resort are superior to
anything found in the Hawaiian
Islands. Cottages and board can
be obtained on easy terms. The
table set by the manager is better
than any offered here at other no.

and outings the best accommodation
can be secured by giving notice to

Our Band.

The band boys have sent some
programmes out relating to the two
weeks series Of concerts given by
them at Lincoln Park Beach at Chi
cago, during the latter part OF July.
The selections of music by Professor
Libornio do credit to the band. The
Famous World Fairs Band" play
ing at the same resort did not play
nearly as good music as did Hawaii's
Royal band. Libornio, by the
way is advertised as "the greatest
saxophone player Of the world" and
both he and the boys are treated to
the most fattering newspaper re-
ports. The boys do great deal Of
singing and their Sweet" voices
take the audiences by storm. The
Liliuokalani March is generally the
concluding number, and one paper
seriously smells political scheme
in favor OF restoration, when the
band plays Hawaii Ponoi, and after
roll on the snare drum finishes up
with the Star Spangled Banner. Tt
is pleasing indeed to hear that, the
boys are doing we'll, and their ap-
pearance in the States is no doubt
the best advertisement Hawaii ha
had for a long time.
