EL-KS GREET
NEW BISHOP

Beneath canopy OF green, crossed
flags of our nation and the purple and
white bourgeon of the order of Elks.
Bishop Restarick stood amid brethren
and friends last evening and responded
10 welcome which assured him a
place close to the hearts of the PEOPLE
of Honolulu. The gathering of people
which filled the Elks' hall was truly
representative one, and there was not
duh moment from the time the guests
began to arrive TO meet the bishop un-
til at the close of the program of en-
tertainment refreshments were served,
and then dancing took place until an
early hour.
Bishop Restarick a life member of
the order, so voted byrthe lodge which
he served as chaplain, brought to He
nolulu the true feeling of the order,
and his words last evening were filled
with the sentiment that has made the
popularity of the herds which fill the
ranges of the country. The last thing
which remains in his memory, he said,
was that on his departure from San
Diego there were Elks upon the plat
form bidding him god-speed, and when
ne arrived off the harbor of Honolulu
the brethren here were gathered to well
come him to his new field. He referred
to the fact that there were many things
here which had been exaggerated, and
| declared that he thought it was Canon
Macintosh who persuaded Mrs. Res
| tarlck that the mosquitoes were dyed
| yellow and sold to tourists as canaries.
He touched upon the true spirit of the
order, the charity which expects no re-
turn and which exerts it's influence for
| good in the most quiet fashion, and
| then to the amusement or fun loving
element N all men, who must have
some sort of amusement, and their
tastes show them to be true men.
| The hour of II o'clock was approach
ling, and the bishop touched upon the
Ecustom which makes all Elks, wher-
ever they may be, drink toast to the
absent brothers at that hour, saying
that he knew that in his former home
there were men who touched glasses
and looked out upon the surf singing
sea, sending to him their good wishes
as he sends back the kindly thought so
that the ocean waves do not divide but
connect them at all times. Touching
| the lei about his neck he expressed the
hope that it would be the symbol of
| his associations here in that they might
be continuous and that unlike the flow
ers they might never lose their bright
ness and wither.
| Before Bishop Restarick was called
upon there was program of music
and oratory, Exalted Ruler Brooks
welcoming the bishop in a few well
chosen words. The program included
selections by Mr.. Hartzer, Mrs. Annis
Montague Turner, Mrs. May Mott
Smith Bird, Lovette Rockwell and Miss
Alice Campbell. Piano selections were
] rendered by Prof. Berger and Brother
IO'Brien, who is on his way back to the
Estates from Australia, told some enter
/ tanning stories, Allan Dunn reciting
! and the quintette club playing.
/ Mrs. Turner was in excellent voice
and Miss Campbell displayed perfect
tcontrol of a very sweet voice and mag
niticent method of handling it. Mrs.
| Mott-Smith Bird sang with her usual
fine expression. Miss Carrie Castle and
Miss Won Holt were the accompanies,
and were assisted by Prof. ANIME.
