have gone out to Kapiolani Park in the
afternoon to witness the sports. They
went in every description IF vehicles
and broke the records of carrying linn
it's on Pains cars with many wish
that the trolleys were running that
way. The fair sex and the younger
generation were out. in full force to
enjoy the holiday. The track races
were run between hedges of people and
the baseball game was enthusiastically
supported on both sides. Berger's Band
and the Portuguese musicians occupied
the grand stand and alternately filled
in the gaps with music. The crowd
encroached on the limits of the diamond
and to some extent interfered with the
game the victory being gained by the

most tastefully ornamented and deco
rated for the ball with flags and bunt-
ing enhanced by masses of greenery

eight hundred cards left at the uoor

dies had come with their escorts. The
crowd was too great for uancers to be
accommodated every number and a
large proportion of the crowd was
constantly a seated one. Captain

at a few minutes before nine and for
the balance of the evening the wives
and daughters of capital and labor
mingled with masters and employers in
The uniforms of the regular and militia
army and the sailors helped out the
brilliant colorng of the gay gowns
donned for the occasion. Twenty four
numbers and extras sweIled the dance
card besides a prize Waiting contest
the honors of which were divided be-
tween Miss Eva Lund and w. Smith
and Miss Margaret Thompson and
James ynch. A large orchestra, pre-
sided over by Captain Berger furnish
ed the music and contributed to the en-
tire success of the occasion. Cloak
rooms were thoughtfully provided and
in the middle of the evening refresh
ments terminated the dancers to re-
newed efforts
From start to finish, the first Labor
Day of the new century was pronounce
ed by everyone as having totally eclip-
sed its predecessors in elaboration and
enjoyment. There were a good many
who took advantage of the holiday to
slip out of town from the general cele-
bration and enjoy themselves quietly
far from the madding crowd"
