ALL PRAISE THE LADIES
NEVER WAS SUCH A SPREAD AS
THAT OF TO-DAY.
The Commissioners were Interested
Spectators of the Feast Given to
the Arizona's Contingent of Troops

tic," said Senator Morgan this
morning as he viewed the prepara-
tions made for entertaining the sol
diers who arrived on the Arizona.
The Congressional Commissioners
! finished their session today just in
time to take walk round the tables
before the soldiers arrived. As they
passed along they were introduced to
many of the ladies by President Dole
and Justice Frear. After the men
from the troop ship arrived the Com
missioners returned to their hotel for
lunch. The ladies of the party were
early at the grounds and were much
interested throughout.
Promptly at 1 o'clock the soldiers
made their appearance and the Gov
ernment band struck up one of it's
liveliest marches. Between 10 and Is
minutes suffices to seat the thirteen
hundred men who came to be feast
ed. And those thirteen hundred were
lucky men, for of all the feasts ever
spread before hungry soldiers in this
city at least, that of today was the
best. The ladies seemed to vie with
each other as to who could furnish
the best spread and set the prettiest
tables. None of the preceding feasts
brought forth such an array of tempt
| ing delicacies as was spread before
the Arizona's boys today. There were
pies and cakes galore, with whole bot
ties of jams, jellies, pickles and other
toothsome home made delicacies. And
such quantities of fruit of all kinds,
including watermelons, pineapples,
bananas, apples, pears, mangoes,
cocoanuts and grapes.
If there was any one table more
than another deserving of mention it
was that under the care of Mrs. j. Lu-
cas-, and the 100 men who feasted un-
der her directions will not be apt to
forget that dinner in Honolulu for
many a day From the table fes-
toons of flowers extended to the palm
awning overhead, from the rafters of
while whole punches of bananas hung
at intervals within handy reach. Pot
ted palms and flowers decorated the
tables, and there was so much to eat
that an overflow table of fifty plates
was equipped in case of emergency.
Every man who ate at Mrs. Lucas ta-
BILE was given cocoanut to carry to
the ship with him and many of them
had pineapples as well. Mrs. Lucas
and her assistants simply outdid
themselves.
The same profusion of edibles was
noticeable at the other tables; there
was more than enough. On some of
the tables the viands were set off by
palms and flowers in pots, and bo-
quets. Many of the ladies worked
hard from an early hour but they
have abundant reason to be well sat
isfied with their work, for the univer-
| col NNyac that tnHaU'c Il
was the most successful of any given
here in every respect, as to variety,
quantity and quality of the food serv-
ed, the excellence of the service and
the general enconomy practiced.
There was simply abundance with
waste.
