HAWAIIAN BOYS ABROAD.

1t is often stated that the climate
of Hawaii is very enervatiug and
that the dolce far niente propensities
OF the islanders are due tothe con-
slant summer weather of the country.
The young islands boys who have
been sent abroad to be educated at
colleges aud universities, have
everywhere proven that they are
not "enervsted" one little bit, and
that in the fields OF sports they are
the equals aud often the superiors
OF their classmates from the "hardy"
North.
The boys have been noticed snd
praised in the reports Of the sport
ing circles Of Yale, Harvard, Ann
Arbor, Berkeley, Stanford, King
College in England and other great
educationai institutions.
The latest record received tells us
about great football game between
the Stsnfords aud Berkeleys in
which young Henry Beckley, the
son Of our distinguished steamship
owner, Mr., George Bsckley, covered
himself with glory and even reused
the enthusiasm of The blase sporting
editors OF San Francisco's great
journals.
Henry Beckley played with the
Staniords who won 16 to 8. 1t was
no child's play and the Examiner
says that "a dozen or more OF the
youngsters were bruised and batter
cd up, until some Of them looked as
If they had been in prize-fght."
The same journal further says hat
"anyone who can play football like
this Hawaiian Henry Beckley),
ought to be kept in the United
States even il this couutry has to
take Hawaii to get him" A higher
compliment could hardly be paid to
a freshman and when Henry returns
to Hawaii on his vacation the boys
here will get up game for his
special benefit and show that they
are all athletes in spite of the
Generating" climate.

TEE ANNEXATION oRAwFIsH.

The special organ OF the Annexs-
tion Club has daily told us that an
ns1ation was an accomplished fact
aud that seventy millions OF free,
etc, etc, Americans would receive
Hawaii nsi into their open arms
with welcome that would be heard
over the whole world in December
next.
Mr.. Dole's organ, the 2. G. Adver-
tiser, threw out gentle hints that
the annexationists might yet be dis
appointed and that they might find
that their growing was premature.
In consequence OF such utterances
the Advertiser was accused, tried,
and condemned of political heresy
by the annexation organ, and its
policy was stamped as pessimistic
and unworthy of the "hip-hip-
hurrah" crowd that make, Dole's
hirsute ornaments grey. To the
great amusement OF those who have
watched the "fur fly" the annexa-
tion organ has quite suddenly
adopted the pessmistic views of the
Advertiser, and it is with broad
grin that we publish the following
extracts from the last Star editorial:
The opponents OF annexation have
been working hard against the cause,
and have at last got the labor organ.
izations to join their ranks.
That annexation would be a walk
over was never considered. Work
of the most trying and constant
kind has been and will have to be
done.
Those who are fighting the cause
of annexation are we'll armed with
facts and figures, and it is facts aud
figures and not sentiment that will
tell.
It would be terrible blow to the
chances OF a second term, which,
considering the prosperity Of the
country is very probable, to have an
administration measure like this de-
feated in the early part of the ad-
ministration.
No news is good news. The an
neIation camp is evidently in pos
session of much news by the last
steamer, to judge from the tone OF
its mouthpiece.

The majority Of the officers ad-
mitted, however, that they had not
taken any active part in battles
of the sham or genuine nature, and
that they did not feel like looking
for any new experience just now.
The other officers had all witnessed
sham battles, some of them having
taken all active part in the great
maneuvres OF The Colorado troops
whose maneuvring 10 cloud OF dust
could not be seen, and OF the Cali
fornia army which got winded and
disgusted after storming a few
strongholds. A suggestion that
hacks bs engaged to take the men
to aud from the battle field was
severely rebuked by the presiding
officer who evidently thought that an
army in a sham battle" is bad
enough but is, going forth to battle
in hacks, still more ridiculous.
