1t had been announced that Governor
Dole would make an address, but he
was indisposed, and could not attend.
The program after the march, was
opened with America by the Terri
torial Band, the vast throng Joining in
the chorus.
superintendent Atkinson made a
brief address to the children: Our
schools" he said, .'are the pride of our
country. The better the schools, the
better will be the future people. The
Mayday festival has been observed in
other countries for many years. but we
have never before held it. We will
continue to do so now for years, and
hope for centuries to come. We are all
here as Americans now, and we are un-
der a country that win go on for ages.
Musical numbers by the band follow
ed, interspersed by songs from various
schools, the strains of song coming
from various parts of the grounds as
each school sang.
Hawaii" by E. A. P Newt.omb, was
sung by Kamehameha Schools, after
which, welcome My Woods" by Rob-
School and grammar grades OF the
public schools. "Daybreak," by G. A.
Veazi Jr, was next sung by Punahou
School pupils, and then came Sunny
Manoa," by the girls from the Kawaia-
hao Seminary. The High School sang
"a Forest Ramble,'' by Franz Abt, and
the grammar and primary grades of the
public schools rendered Home. Sweet
Home"
Then came the crowning' of the May
Queen and the beautiful Maypole
dance.
The pole was in the center of the
circular space reserved for the dance,
and was gay with green and yellow
streamers, at the top Of it being
cluster of bougainvillea. Just in front
of the bandstand, under the pretty lit
tie pine tree, the throne had been
erected. The tree was trimmed In
wreaths of purple and yellow, and the
throne was a mass of purple magentas,
the royal chair being oyerhung with a
great crown of violets, marfgolds and
yellow roses.
The twenty girls who danced the
Maypole danced, tripped to their places
as the band struck up the music, and
taking the ends of the gay streamers,
began the graceful circling and turning
that comprises the pretty dance.

Food left from the festival was given
to Mrs. Berger of the Associated Char
tiles.
The artistic success of the arrange
ments is due largely to the indefatiga-
BILE efforts of Mr.. E. A. p. Newconao,
whose suggestions were followed out IN
nearly all the particulars. Mr.. New
comb formulated the plan by which the
five thousand children were maTshalled
through the grounds and to their plac-
es without confusion, and he also de-
signed all the banners, which added
so much to the gayety of appearance
and the artistic beauty of the process
sion.
The splendid managerial ability of
Mrs. William Montrose Graham is well
known and appreciated, as evidenced
by the success of the Mardi Gr;is ball,
of which she was practically the mana
ger, and to her may be ascribed the
credit of many other successful affairs.
When she was called upon to take
charge of the Mayday festival she was
equal tc, the occasion as usual, and to
her patience and interest in the plans,
and to her ability in the difficult task
of superintending, is due special credit
in yesterdays splendid program.

The cup tournament of the Wheeling
Golf Club was brought to. a close on
yesterday afternoon. Its result is as
stated above. At two o'clock in the
afternoon, Messrs. PAUL and Hildreth,
of the first class, and Messrs. Gibbs and
Wilson, Of the second class, teed off in
the final contest of SO holes to decide
the winners of the club cups in their
respective classes. The state of the
wea Ter and the condition of the course
were everything that could be desired,
and the contests in both classes were
close and interesting from start to fin
ish. A number of visitors and MEM
bers of the club watched the contests
with great interest.
The match between Mr.. Eugene Hill
dreth and Mr.. Irwin PAUL was a re-
markable n in several respects. The
players We're very evenly matched and
both played in good form. In the
start-off the first and second holes
were halyed with good scores, and tie
third and fourth were captured by Mr..
Hildreth. AT the first hole both play
ers made good approaches on their
second shots, though their balls laid
from 20 to 80 feet from the hole, Mr..
Paull's ball being away. By a re-
markable put he holed out in three.
But Mr.. Hildreth. nothing daunted,
and with but little advantage in dis
lance, played the like with an equal
ly remarkable put, which carried the
cup and halyed the hole. The scores
for this hole CD are one under bogy.
and this was the first instance in n
match on the local links that any hole
has been halyed in three strokes. Mr..
Paul won the last hole in this round
by a bogy score and finished one down.
On the second round. Mr.. Hildreth
captured three holes and Mr.. Paul took
two, the latter being two down, up to
this point. at the finish of the second
round. In this round both players
played better golf than in the first, Mr..
Hildreth making the sixth hole in three
and Flushing the round with % strokes.

The contest between Mr.. w. P. Wilson
and Mr.. Joseph S. Gibbs for the second
class cup was none the less interesting
than the match for the championship.
In the first round between these two
players the advantage was very much
IN favor OF the former, who finished
the six holes with his opponent four
down. This lead was reduced by Mr..
Gibbs in the second round to two up
and the Is holes were finished with
Mr.. Wilson holding the lead of four up.
In the fourth, Mr.. Wilson finished three
up, but in the fifth Mr.. Gibbs, by steady
work, reduced the lead to one hole.
The sixth round was worthy of the oc-
casion, Mr.. Gibbs winning the first
three holes, halving the fourth, and
Mr.. Wilson capturing the fifth and
sixth, and the SO holes being finished
in a tie. Under the rules the play ON
tinued, and both players got the ball
well away on their drives, with the ad-
vantage in favor of Mr.. Gibbs. Mr..
Wilson's effective brassie recovered the
lost ground, and Mr.. Gibbs second play
made the honors equal. On their third
shots both players were on the green.
Mr.. Gibbs first put was stopped by an
ugly kick. and Mr.. Wilson's laid within
two inches of the hole. Mr.. Gibbs fail
ed to hole out on the fifth by a mar
row margin, and Mr.. Wilson took the
extra hole in five, Illus winning the
cup in the second class.
In this match Mr.. Jos. s.. Gibbs lost
the cup in the third class in very much
the same manner as his son, Master
Shewell Gibbs. lost the cup IN the Sec
ond class to Master Nelson ]. Ewing.
1t will be remembered that the two last
named players also halved their final
match of 36 holes and played an addi-
tional hole to decide the contest, the
extra hole being won by Master Ewing
by a score of 6 to I. II is interesting
to note that the runners-up in the third
and second classes in the cup tourna-
ment. are father and son..
The scores in this match, which are
