the rear of the High School building.
The outside dimensions of the building

piers are Of stone, but the building
itself will be constructed of wood. AS
shown in the cut 1t will be of one

A flight OF four steps takes the Wis
itOr to front porch 8 by rs feet, from
which large doors open directly into
the meeting or general assembly
room. This is situated to the left Of
the building and Is 81 feet in width
by 20 feet inches in length. Con-

these two rooms are thirteen feet high.
In the rear of the library is the bill

these smaller rooms are ten feet high.
The walls are of matched pine sur

ing is the new style of folding doors
between the library and meeting
ROOM These hang from the ceiling
and fold up something after the man
ner of a fan, never at any time touch
ing the floor, each door folding back
on its own side into very small space.
Many other novelties and useful con-
veniences have been introduced into
this building by the architects.
1.-THE Kamehameha Alumni Associa-
ton has from thirty to forty active
members" said David Kanewanui. the
president of the association, yesterday,
land OF course its membership will
continue to increase as more young
men graduate from the schools. The
building is being erected for us by the
trustees of the Bishop Estate on lot
owned by the Bishop Museum. Three
hundred dollars year has to be paid
to the Museum for the ground rent OF
the lot and the Bishop Estate puts up
the building for us, and we pay them
6 per cent per annum on the cost,
which will be about $1,000 or there
abouts.
"The bookcases, closets, etc, in the
library are furnished with the build
ing, but the rest of the furniture We
have to supply. We have been saving
up for the purpose for some time and
have now about $500 on hand to spend
In fitting up the building. We expect
to have two billiard tables and other
accessories, besides furnishing the
kitchen. etc. The building will be
lighted by electricity throughout
When We get established In the club
house We shall probably give enter
tainments from time to time, as we
are DESTROYS of showing our apprecia-
ton OF what the trustees OF the estate
have done for us In enabling us to
have such pleasant clubhouse
which, 10 say the least, Is entirely be-
yond what we anticipated"
The present officers OF the associa-
tlon are. David Kanewanui, presi'
dent; John Wise, recording secretary;
Olin Crowell, treasurer, and Oscar Cox
