CARNIVAL OF
SPORTS FOR FLEET

A carnival of sports may be arrang-
ed for the sailors and marines attach
ed to Admiral Evans's fleet during it's
stay at Honolulu. There is talk of
having boat and yacht races, baseball
and football, games during the time the
fleet is here.
The matter was informally discussed
at meeting of the Merchants Asso-
citation last week. The opinion was
expressed that the officers of the fleet
would naturally be given social atten-
ton, but there was nothing proposed
TO entertain the men.
The matter will again be taken up
at another meeting to be held next
Wednesday,. The proposition will be
suggested to the Hawaii Yacht Club
this week that series of yacht races
be arranged.
