The anniversary of Mrs. Bishop
birthday was celebrated as usual at the
Kamehameha Schools Saturday. The
mausoleum was visited in the morning
by detachment of the scholars, who
laid wreaths of flowers on the tomb of
the dead chiefess. The athletic sports,
for which the boys had been in train
ing, came off on the campus in the aft
ernoon Some of the boys from Puma
hou entered into the games in friendly
rivalry But the Kamehameha boys
carried off more than a moiety of the
honors.
The athletes of Kamehameha and
Punahou were favored with a splendid
day for their contests on the campus of
the former institution Saturday. The
ground was in the very best of condi-
ton and the wind, which was rather
strong in the morning, had abated so
as to form but very small obstacle.
That part of the campus in front of
the principals house and the students
On the outside of the boundaries q
large number of chairs, some 800 in
all, had been placed about in con-
venient positions for the accommodate
these was occupied, and a large num-
Der of interested spectators were dis
tributed about in carriages and on
horseback.
Principal Richards house was thrown
open to friends, and many were there
who took advantage of the cool lanais
to witness the sports.
The Hawaiian Band, stationed near
the driveway, furnished music through
out the afternoon and helped make the
occasion a very happy one.

and second places. After an interval
of a few minutes this was carried into
effect
