PARK IMPROVEMENT.

With all the defects of the tramways
service, it yet made thousands of Hos
nolulu people more or less familiar with
the benefits of sea bathing at Waikiki,
as well as somewhat casually asquaint-
ed with the charms of Kapiolani park
Now the electric cars give an incom-
parably better service to those places
and at from one-fourth to one-half the
tramways fare, according to the start
ing point between Kalihi and Waikiki
road. 1t is timely and we'll, therefore,
that the Legislature has given some
thing like adequate means to the ka-
pioIani Park Commissioners for i'm
proving that reservation. The work
already accomplished has been intel
under execution are completed Kapio-
lani Park will be a new creation from
its former condition, whose almost
sole excellences lay in its smooth,
winding, shady driveways and its
sequestered homes of the favored few
who, at the inception of the commits
sion, secured building locations around
the park borders.
Landscape gardening alone, however,
will not fulfil the ideal of a great pub
lie recreating park. There is ample
scope, with natural advantages besides,
in the reservation for the introduction
of features other than those OF intrinsic
beauty to the eye, and yet which can
be introduced with enhancement OF the
beautiful. A picnic grove for Sunday
schools and societies, with shapely
payiIion in it's midst, would be an eX-
cellent addition. Another would be
Fairgrounds absolutely free to all-com-
ers at all times with the sole condition
of good conduct on the part of those
using the privilege. If the Hawaiian
Jockey Club is going out of the park,
as commonly understood to be the case,
there is room enough in the space now
occupied by it for variety of sports
and games to be carried on there at the
same time. Garden spots might even
then be interspersed amidst, say, polo
baseball, cricket, tennis and running
track areas.
Honolulu ought also, at any COST
have a public sea-bathing allotment
somewhere along the Waikiki beaches.
1t might be inaugurated and conducted
under the auspices of swimming club
open to everybody, with moderate
annual membership fee to provide for
running expenses. There are such or
CARNATIONS elsewhere with lists Of
members running into the thousands.
No doubt the park commissioners will
be glad to receive ideas from, the pub
lie which may aid them in their pur-
pose of making Kapiolani Park place
to vie with the finest public recreation
grounds anywhere.

Not Enough

Clyde Fitch says that on one occasion
budding playwright managed to gain
access to Richard Mansfield for the
purpose of reading a play to him.
Mansfield took the manuscript from the
mans hands and glanced over it for
perhaps twenty minutes. Then he gave
it back with a few words of suggestion
and criticism. 81 do not think, Mr..
Mansfield said the ambitious writer,
that you should dispose of my ideals
in this summary fashion. That play

A F,sherman's Remarka BILE Feat.

Simeon Strabrovs.zy, fisherman

The French railway companies have
issued to all stations an album which
contains pictures of every possible ar

about him. Owing to the great number
of passengers who are unable to speak
French, it is often found difficult to
trace lost articles from the description
