ON THE PENINSULA
Pleasant Times These
Days at Pearl City.
Growing Popularity of a Delight
full Suburb-NOtes on Happen-
ings at the Favored Resort,

at Pearl City on Saturday and Sunday.
The afternoon trains on the latter
day were crowded Fishing was in
dulged in to a great extent in the
evening and on Sunday, the beautiful
lawns on the water front were occu-
pied by many from the city, out for
pleasant outing and a breath of the
country air.
At Kealeakekai, the home Of Miss
Anna Paris, there were quite a num-
Der of guests present and all of these
did justice to the splendid table set.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hubert Vos spent Satur-
day and Sunday there. Chas. Gray is
spending a fortnight there and has,
through the bracing atmosphere to be
found at the Peninsula, become we'll
and strong again. Others at Miss
Paris were Mrs Gray, Miss Watkins,
Miss Wynne, Miss MOorhees and VIM.
Alexander. There is certainly no more
charming spot on the Peninsula than
Kealeakekai.
Yachts are becoming more and more
numerous. A breeze always springs up
during the afternoon and lasts until
evening. Clarence Macfarlane's
"Alice," formerly the Spray" is the
queen of the fleet. His vapOr launch
has proven a very convenient and plea
sure giving craft.
| Dr. and Mrs. Herbert together with
Mrs. Noonan, were guests at the Mac
| forIoDo homo SUNDAY
John Schwanck is still at the PENN
sula His hands are kept busy re-
! pairing and painting various craft for
the pleasure lovers who have homes on
the Peninsula.
| 1t is understood that the lease held
| the long line of country homes, is
now up and that each owner Of a lot
has now the right to fish in front of it.
However, none of the catches can be
sold unless one-third of the proceeds
! is handed over to the o. r. & L. Co.
Il has been the wonder of many peo-
pie that the houses facing the water
were built closed. This is easily eX-
planned when it is known that the
wind often blows so hard off the water.
There are many different kinds of
| fruit at the Peninsula but the papaia
has carried off the laurels SO far. A
specimen weighing eight pounds was
brought into this Office Sunday even
ing from Miss JOhnsOn's place.
Members of the various boat clubs
who have been at the Peninsula re-
Gently. complain about the condition
of their combination boat house. Some !
inconsiderate, but hardly minimizing |
persons have been in the habit for |
some time past, of tearing away the !
boards, breaking open the doors and !
appropriating to their use, boats or
anything they may happen to find in
side. If the boats were only returned
after having been used, it might not
be so bad, but these are simply al
lowed to float about and are often
lost altogether.
Mrs. Hassinger spent Sunday with
her daughter, Mrs. Falk, at The Her
mitage."
Judge c. F. Peterson and bride have
been spending their honeymoon at
Miss Johnsons place on the PENN
sula. They will come to town for a
short time today.
1t is understood that there is to be
a big boating party during the next
season of moonlight nights.
While out swimming two or three
"a; ~ &c
recuperating at Kealeakekai, had his
hand badly cut by some fish. The
wound is a bad one but is now heal
ing. Mr. Alexander did not wait to
look for the fish but swan in direc-
ton opposite from that whence the
stab came.
VIM. Forbes is building a cement
pier from his place out into the water
a short distance, this for the purpose
Of making it possible for him to get
his boats within reach.
A party Of some twenty or more
went on a special car to Waialua Sat
urday morning and returned in the
afternoon. Judge Widemann gave the
young people the outing. An hour and :
a half was spent at Waialua. Good T
things to eat and music by native boys
constituted a part of the days en-
oyable things.
The trains on the o. r. & L running
between Honolulu and Pearl City, are
above reproach. The ride between Z
hese two places takes a very little
onger than the trip from the city to
Waikiki on a tram car. -
