FIELD DAY
Prizes Awarded for
Years School
Work.

Iolani College campus was the scene
yesterday afternoon of as fine an eXhi-
bition of athletics, participated in by
youths. as an audience would desire to
witness. The occasion was the closing
of the school year and the competition
for the prizes which We're given by
Bishop Willis, the head Of the school.
Prior to the out-uf- door exhibition. the
distribution of prizes for school work
during the year took place in the
large school room. The school was
brilliant in n fringe Of bright-colored
fiags and banners which extended
around the porches. The British flag
was a prominent feature, its folds en-
veloping one entire end of the building.
On the interior walls We're exhibitions of
the students work In map drawing, me-
chanical drawings and II few sketches,
the work mostly performed by the Chi
nese pupils. The platform was dressed
in holiday attire, rich greenery pottcd
ferns and palms giving il a charming
effect Above the platform signal tiags
were hung
The room was well filled with the
friends of the institution as well as the
mothers and relatives Of the young men
who attend the school. Most Of the
students are Chinese, whose bright, in
telllgent faces speak volumes for the
painstaklng efforts of the Bishop and
his assistants to instruct them in the
higher studies. The interior had cos
mopOlitan effect with it's gathering Of
Chinese women attired IN their national
costumes made of bright-colored mate
rials, intermlngled with more soberly
clad Americans. Little children gaudly
dressed lent Kaleidoscope air TO the
scene.
