accompanied by their parents, have
/ gone out to Punahou and spent the
day on the Oahu College grounds. The

out to various suburbs of Honolulu.
Yesterday was no variation of the
custom as far as the Central Union
school was concerned. Fully a thous-
and people swarmed about the col

ed. had a genuine good time.
The Central Union children were
joined by the Sabbath school of Pala-
ma Church, which is branch of the
Central Union Church. The children
were carried free on the trans from
the church to the grounds. They be-
gan arriving at little after s o'clock
and kept coming until noon. 1t was
about o'clock when the children,
| their parents and friends left for their
homes.
The day was spent in base ball,
tug of war, tennis, bean bag, target
shooting with mud balls. and other

ball, too, and it was day of fun for
everybody.
