been followed since 1863, when Pres
ident Lincoln issued a special proc
lamatinn for th tnlisgiving for the VIC
tories of 1862 and 1865. He also is
sued a national proclamation of the
annual Thanksgiving Day of 1873
and 1864.
Since that time such proclamations
have been issued by the President as
well as by the Governors of the sew
eral States.
Custom has flied the time for
Thar LIS, Ivng in this country for the
last Thursday in November.
It will thus be seen that there is
no National law calling for Thanks
giving Day proclamatiops; that
THANKSGIVING Day is not National
holiday ny any statute, although it is
generally so recognized by custom;
that Courts can legally Transact bus
mess on that day, save in those
Ste.es wherein the day which the
President proclains day Or general
thapl:se wing is made State holiday;
that it is not obligatory upon aoy
President to issue a Thanksgiving
Day proclamation, and that, so far as
any law is concerned, he can drop the
custom when he pleases.

islation upon the subject.
In this State, however, it Is legal
holiday.
Thanksgiving Day is largely a re-
ligious festival, rs observed in the
United States, particularly in the
New England and Middle States, al
though the OCCASIONAL observance OF
day IF thanksgiving upon the recon-
mendation Of the civil authorize IS was
not unusual in Europe, and at Ley.
den, Holland, such day was obserV-
ed October 8, 1915, the anniversary of
the deiverance OF that city from
siege.
The FIRST observance of such a day
in America occurred III 1921, at Plym-
outh, after the first harvest of the Pill
grims.
1t appears also that in 1920 Gov
ernor Bradford appointed day for
fasting and prayer ON account Of
drought. While the people were
praying ram fell abundantly, and
Governor Bradford then proclaimed a
day of thanksgiving, which WAS oh
served with religious services.
In June, 1862, Governor Winthrop
of the Massachusetts Bay Colony,
appointed day of thanksgiving on
account OF the action taken 10y the
British Privy Council favorable to
the American colonies, and invited
the Governor of Plymouth Colony to
unite with them.
BY 1850 the custom of observing
Thanksgiving Day had become quite
general though it often happened
that more than one in the year would
be set apart for thanksgiving, and u.s.
ually commemorated some specific
event in the then current history Of
the Colonies, such as the safe arrival
Of ships laden with provisions, and
for bounteous harvests.
During the Revolution, Thanks
giving Day became National insti-
tutor, and it was annually observed
upon the recommendation of Con-
gress. After the general thanksgiv-
ing for peace in 1888, there was no
National appointment for it's observ-
ance until 1859, when President
Washington. by request of Congress,
recommended day of Thanksgiving
Tor the adoption of the Constitu-
ton.
This. was the first Thanksgiving
Day observed under proclamation
Of the President Of the United
States.
The observance of Thanksgiving
Day gradually extended "a the Mid
die and Western States through all
these years, and slowly but surely to
the South.
The second Presidential proclama,
ton calling upon the people to observe
day Of Thanksgiving was issued by
Washington in 1855 on account O:
the suppression Of instruction.
Again III 1875 President James
Madison, at the request of Congress
recommended a thanksgiving fol
peace in April of that year.
Tho official recommendation for @
day o. thankss living was mainly con.
fined to the New England States
where proclamations we're annually
issued by the Governors, and the day
was observed with religious services
and was the principal home festiva
Of the year.
1t was in 1917 that the Governor o.
New York first recommended a da,
for Thanksgiving,
In 1886 Governor johnson, of Vir
ginia, recommended n day of. thanks

TO BE INCORPORATED.
T. X. James Will Manage the Ha-
waiian Hotel.

walian Hotel.
In a few days a charter will be
granted by the Government to the
Hawaiian Hotel Company, and
among the principle stockholders
will be Mr.. T. X. James, who will
assume the management OF the
hostelry, which will be conducted
on the approved lines of first class
hotel.
Mr. James is an experienced hotel
man who during his services as chief
steward OF the Australia has gained
innumerable friends in the Hawai-
ian Islands, as we'll as among the
travelling public of the United
States.
The new company has left the
full management OF the Hotel to
Mr.. James, and has approved Of his
plans of improvement, which event
ually will secure to the islands a
superb tropical hotel. Mr.. James
has already imported two expert
enced chefs for the kitchen which by
the way is to be Yebuilt and thor
oughly modernised. As soon as the
busy travelling season is over, the
principal alterations and additions
to the old building will be COM
menced.
Under the former management a
very small scope was allowed for i'm
provement as the owners OF the
lease did not feel justified in ex-
pending much money on the prop
erty then belonging to the Govern
ment and the disposition of which,
after the expiration OF the lease was
uncertain.
Mr.. 2. Lucas who has managed
the Hotel in very able manner will
have charge OF the bar, which will
be conducted in an up-to-date man
ner, and where he will be welcomed
by his many friends.
The community is to be congratu-
lated on the assurance that Homo
lulu will be able to boast shortly of
hotel which can compare faver-
ably with the best appointed in the
States and Europe. The name of
Tom James is a sufficient guarantee
for the success of this new enter
prise and The INDEPENDENT in wish
ing him good luck, extends to him a
hearty Aloha nui,

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. MEET
oyclomere Park to Open Saturday,
October %.

The much talked Of bicycle track
at Kewalo is at last completed and
will be thrown open to Honolulu's
sport loving people Saturday, No
expense has been spared to make
this day "red letter" one in bicy-
Gle circles.
Fast Eastern riders are expected
on the Moana, Thursday, who will
not only participate in the various
races, but will, while here, establish
records for the new track that will
compare favorably with those made
in the United States and Europe.
These men are brought here under
a guarantee OF no mean dimensions
to amuse and interest the public by
giving clean outdoor sport.
The racing season being finished
in the States induces these men who
make handsome living racing, to
come so many miles across the ocean
to Hawaii.
AS the Honolulu boys have been
doing extremely hard training in
the last few weeks some very excit-
ing races and close finishes may be
expected,
The races for the afternoon will
consist Of a one-mile novice, open
to ell who have not previously won
race; a one-mile professional, to
be paced on a tandem; a half-mile
amateur race, open to all amateurs
other than those in the novice class;
a one-mile boys race, open to boys
from Ia to II years of age. The
final event OF the afternoon will be
an exhibition one.third Of a mile,
flying start, by Charles Murray.
While there will be no competitors
in this race, it will be an extremely
interesting one from the fact that
the rider will establish an amateur
record for the track, which will be
contested later by riders Of the same
class, who feel that they can tie, il
not lower, the recod made by Muir
ray.
The events for the evening will be
a mile novice; half-mile handicap
professional; a two-mile amateur
handicap; a one-mile tandem race
and an exhibition one third mile by
George Angus. This race will estab.
lish professional record for the
above mentioned distance, and will
be paced by professional men, either
on tandem or triplet,
