Oarsmen Plan Bic
Social Event for
Next Month.
Will Hold Masquerade
and Fiesta at the
Young Hotel.
Full Noon on Friday. November
6, Set as Date-.DetaiIs Are
to Be Elaborate.

An event, that promises to open the
forthcoming social season with due
brilliancy, has been arranged by the
Healani Boat and Yacht Club, which
organization will give an elaborate
masquerade fiesta and ball on the even
ing of Friday, November 6, at the AL
exander Young hotel, the date being
chosen with special reference to the
full moon which occurs on that date.
No masquerade ball of any import
ance has been given since the big
charity ball at the drill shed three
years ago and the town is undoubtedly
ripe for such an entertainment, espe-
cially when presented upon the lavish
scale that the Healani fete bids fair
to be. Since the taking over of the
drill shed by the military authorities
place of amusement, there has been,
until the Young hotel opened, no op-
portunity to give masquerade from
pure lack of accommodation. The
Young hotel roof garden, with it's
jeweled electrics, its palms, cool
breezes, view over mountain, city and
| sea, and the full moon above it all,
offers a setting for masquerade which
could hardly be beaten if paralleled.
Should the weather prove treacherous,
a rapid sortie can be made to the pa
vilions on the fourth floor which have
also been preempted for this occasion.
The Healani masquerade is planned
to be an annual affair and will take the
place of the yearly entertainments
given at the opera house. The object
| is primarily the same, the paying off
| of the debt with which the club finds
itself burdened every year. The pub
| lie has always responded cheerfully to
| and Healanis, realizing that the extra
| expense is incurred through the two
annual regattas in which the public
reap their investments by watching the
| CilOl - VI Tic iifdi Views
The ball was decided upon at meet
| ing held two days ago and will, it is
| thought, prove a much more popular
idea than the theatrical entertainment,
| besides having the advantage of being
| a novelty. Details have not yet been
| thoroughly worked out the affair be-
| ing now in the hands of the following
| committee: A. L. c. Atkinson, S.
Walker, Merle Johnson and Allan
| Dunn.
| The ball will be masquerade one,
with unmasking at eleven o'clock, when
| prizes will be presented for the best
costumes in various grades. These
| will be given by the Queen of the
/ Masque who will be surrounded by a
gentles." Tickets will also be arranged
| for admission only, when those who
| prefer to see the passing show with
| out mingling with the dancers or
DOMINIC costumes, can share in the
entertainment. In all likelihood the
Government band will be in attendance
| while two quintet clubs will furnish
| the imnulse for the dancers.
The ball is to be under the general
direction of patronesses from official
and social life who will shortly be ap-
| preached as to their willingness to sc
act. AS the affair is purely a benefit
it is generally estimated that an I'M
usual interest will be taken in the
event
Manager Lake of the hotel has beer
most liberal in his terms to the club
and is making special arrangements
with a view to enhancing the genera
success of the fete. 1t is possible that
following the success of this year, the
Healani masquerade will become ar
annual institution. The rival club
the Myrtles, are entering heartily into
the plans and will do all they can tt
help along their fellow knights OF
the Rowlock."
