The contests Saturday mark new

The affair Saturday was an unquali-
fled success. The day could no; have
been better II made to order. The
beautiful grounds OF the Girls school
looked their best The crowd was
large Enthusiasm ran rampant and
excitement was AT a high pitch. espe-
vially during the basket ball game.
There were some who thought
the basket ball contest was somewhat
rough II could hardly be classed thus.
II was fun OF snap, vim and spirit.
but it was not rough. The roofing
of the Kamehameha boys was
not well-timed in some instances.
They should not yell over
the failure Of the Punahou girls to
make a Difficult, stroke. The boys should
not have done this in the last tsnnis
contest especially, when so far every
hing had been won by Kamehameha.
The tennis was somewhat slow in
places. but II was very good consider
ing the practice OF the contestants.
The basket ball was most exciting. The
girls OF both teams showed marvellous
quickness and endurance. Great praise
should be given Miss Flora Albright
and Prof. Rabbit OF Kamehameha and
Punahou respectively for the efforts
they have made to place this game on
sound footing II Is to-day the most
popular OF all games in seminaries
and its popularity is steadily gaining.
The carnival began with the singles
in tennis. Miss Maggie Anahu repre-
scented Kamehameha and Miss Kelly
played for Punahou. Miss Anahu soon
showed her superiority, although a;
times Miss Kelly made some very diff
cult strokes. Two sets strainght went to
the former, 6-l. o..
Next came the basket ball Wearing

well. but special mention might be
made Of Miss Elizabeth Robinson Of
