What Animals Do in a Storm.

Both tame and wild animals, four.footed or

Did you ever watch the ions of clitlr

danger. Finally, when the storm breaks. they
draw close together and with lowered heads.

Domestic animals, when IL rains, will always
keep in doors, or, failing that. they seek shelter

Wild birds do their best to keep out Of the
rain. Some of them build a roof over their
nests; others choose home under the caves or
under u projecting clif, where they may be safe
from the discomfort that the rain brings.
But most of them arc without shelter pro-

Cards were the amusement of the even

and interesting features that the occa-
sion will be a memorable one to all
who We're present The selection of
partners was made by means of large
score cards, those of the ladies bearing
pretty sketch in water colors illus
trating some faVOrite story in Mother
Goose. The mems cards had the APP
propriate verse surmounted by q tiny
drawing which assisted in giving a
clue. The search for partners was ac-
companied by any amount of fun ana
the names thus acquired will probably
cling to some of the guests during the
remainder of their stay on earth. For
instance q very tall and dignitied per
sonage was known us simple Simon"

the reverse of fat will long be remem-
bered as "Humpty- Dumpty." Then

POLO WILL BE
ON VERY SOON

Polo men are preparing for their
game, which will be put under way
very early this year. In fact there
are plans now under contemplation for
the opening of the season in August.
A meeting of the members of the as
ISOLATION will be held during the pres
ent month. There will be chosen Off
GERS at that time and the players will
be rated for the beginning of the sea-
sea. There are few of the riders who
will be out of the game this year, and
in addition there promise TO be sew
eral additions to the teams. There are
in the city some new men, who have
played elsewhere, and their presence
will tend to make the game faster
The games of the present season will
be played upon the field at kapiolanl
Park. The new grounds at Moanalua
viii not be ready. as the filling should
have at least a year to settle before IL
is subjected to the hard riding that
will be seen during tournaments. The
interval of one week is not more than
SUFFICIENT to enable the ground to re-
cover and for this reason it is decided
that Moanalua will not be the scene
of an active campaign for some time
yet.
There is no candidate for the office
of president against S. Z. Damon, or of
captain against the leader of last year.
w. F. Dillingham;. Dillingham; is in
good health and should play the game
OF his life. Judd and Carter. by the
way. will go into practice with some
experience that the others are lacking,
eu&ang to the fact that they have spent
z H., he r-Nfrudrrn the Par
ker ranch at Waimea, and they Will
have their hands In. where the others
win have to get used to a long stretch
in the saddle.
This year there will be without doubt
an inter-island tournament. The Maui
team is an old standby. and though IL
has not shown form of the Locals, II
will come into this years play with
some fresh ponies and new blood as
we'll.
To add 10 the interest there will be
a team from F4ilo TO compete with the
others. The teams there have been
playing for short time comparatively
and they are now in such shape that
there should be a four sent here that
would be in the very front rank Judg-
ed by the exhibition given during the
races last week which. by the way
consisted of Individual play rather
than polo. there will come out of the
ruck a good team. quite able to make
the. locals extend themselves With
such men as DIR. Irwin. DR.. Grace,
Kennedy, Ted Guard and the Baldinss'
there should be no trouble in getting
a team which with practice would be
able TO play we'll out and with precis-
len. There are enough men in the. club
there to make a fine four and sufficient
reserve to make the game interesting
The game is now gaining popularity
here and this season should see de-
gree of interest in it that will take 1t
to the front rank.
