desirable, because it makes laugh.
The amateur artists must sign their
names. or write lines descriptive of
their efforts. The protests against thus
committing themselves are sometimes
loud and deep. No attention should be
paid to them.
The most amusing pages in the face
book are apt to be the ones in which
detached human features are drawn.

good line at the head of the page
would be, BY their works We shall
know them" These are the guessing
leaves of the face book, and many a
jolly hour may be passed by visitors
who try to guess the names OF the
artists. Some women insist that mu-
steal friends shall express a sentiment
by means of a bar of music. The Sc
lection of the bal is made from a Top
ular song, and the first word of the
line is written over the initial note,
while the last one appears above the
closing one. This helps out the guess
er who can not read music, but who Is
familiar with the songs of the day.
Other face book owners, with original
minds, insist that only flowers or
plants or trees be drawn on the pages.
A glance at some of these makes one
wonder to see how little form in flow
ers is appreciated. Color appears to
be the chief point that appeals to the

The Thanksgiving football game will
be brought off early on the afternoon
of Thursday so that there may be plen-
ty of time for the spectators to get out
to the Polo grounds for the great game
between Kauai and Hawaii.
A meeting of the League was held
yesterday for the purpose of endeavor-

football match on the same field as
the polo game, thus giving the people
a chance to see both games from the

late to endeavor to effect change at
this time, and the game will come off
at Punahou as originally planned.
The game will be between the Males
and the Punahous. The teams are hard
at work for the game. The Males have
several new men at work for various
positions and the outlook is for the put
ting on the field Of a stronger team
than has played the game under the
yellow and green this year. 1t is a
chance for the Honolulus. if the Males
win. Then the H. A. c. will go to work
with new effort to get up such a team
as will give the others a hard rub for
the last two games, which if the Reds
take there will be a general tie and

BOXERS IN GOOD
FORM FOR MATCH

Arrangements are complete for the
boxing carnival of Thursday evening.
The boxers have been examined by a
physician and found to be in good trim
and their training is complete.
Riley and Harris will go into the
ring at the same weight, 156 and 165
pounds. They are in the best of form
and should make a whirIwind match
as both are hard hitters and have some
science. There is little betting on this
event and the men have little advan-
tage over each other.

furnish the principals for the other ten
round bout. They are said to be in
fine shape and should be ready for a
match which will give new life to the
sport here. The best known men here
VIII have their old hackers in their
corners, but Riley, the new conner, will

first between bantams, for three rounds.
and then four rounds between light and
welter weight men.

ART
LEAGUE DISPLAY
About Sixty Pictures viii Be
Hung for the Fall
Exhibition.

With sixty or more canvaSeS of the
most talented artists Of Honolulu the
Kilohana Art League will open it's fall
exhibition on Saturday evening by
members first view. The majority of
the canvases for the display are al
ready at the league rooms and are
being hung under the supervision Of
d. Howard Hitchcock. The display
ranges from large land and seascape
canvases in oils to petite water colors
and pastelles the subjects throughout
being almost entirely Of island scenes.
The present fall display is thought
to be a good showing when the number
of artists here is taken into consider
alton, and the members opening is sure
to bring out a large number for the
iirst peep. On Monday evening while
the polo ball is in progress the league
rooms will be open so that those who
attend the bali will have an opportu-
nifty to pay a visit to the rooms, and
the display on that occasion will par
take largely of a social function.
There are no new exhibitors but the
submitted pieces are all new and in
terest will attach largely to this feat
ure. AS usual, D. Howard Hitchcock
will lead in the number of canvases,
His recent visit to the Island of Ha-
wall was productive OF many new
studies. OF the studies which he made
of the recent eruption of Kilauea, how
ever, only one will be shown. This is
a color view of the pit in which the
artist has contrived to contrast the cold
lava-edged rim with the colorings
which appear against an. opposite wall
which come from the gases and smoke.
An odd picture of Mr.. Hitchcock's is
that depicting two lava pillars In YER
dure-clothed part Of the forest on the
slopes Of Kilauea. The pillars are
united at the top and. looiz much like
an inverted letter U. Trees, ferns and
grasses are shown growing from the
top of this odd-shaped freak which
stands about fifteen feet from the
ground. During lava flow these pill
lars were forced up from the lava
stream, cooled off, and then were left
high above everything else by a de-
preston in the lava stream. Mr.. Cur
rey has a few seascapes which are
quite attractive in their conception and
execution.
