GIimpses of the Week
as Passed On
Kauai.

LIHUE, Aug. 8-The Garden Island
SAYS: The Hotel Fairview has been the
scene of a lively party during the last
week. Besides the regular boarders
there have been the court people, and
the place has been crowded.
Every evening there has been some
kind of amusement going on. Some
times it's storytelling, sometimes it
has been music. sometimes it has been
pedro and sometimes it has been dane
ing. Those who have been at the hotel
during the past week are Judge Hardy,
Mr.. Dempster. Mrs. Bishop, Miss Ethel
Bishop, Mr.. Faxon Bishop, Miss Lucy
Roth, Miss Sarah Lucas, Mrs. Hardison
and little daughter. Mr. and Mrs. Por-
teous, Messrs. Bell, Nahum, HASTE,
Moler, Delanux, Prosser, Hansen, Will
lard, DR.. Derby. Foss, Meidell, Smith,
DIR. Sandow, Arkley.
Saturday evening the large sitting
room was cleared, few native boys
came with their mandolins and guitars
and the company INDUCED for few
hours in dancing. Refreshments were
served during the evening and the
guests had a really fine time in some-
what informal way.
SHERIFF CONEY ENTERTAINS.
Last Thursday evening Sheriff Coney
gave dinner party to his confreres OF
the law and those present out-dtd them
selves to preserve the reputation of the
craft for storytelling. The party sat
down at the table a little after seven
and did not adjourn therefrom until
half past ten, and during all that time
there was not minute that some story
teller was not holding the boards down
with a yarn. Funny stories were told
about every conceivable thing on earth,
and the table was roar of laughter
from the time the company sat down
until they arose. OF good things to eat
there was plenty and when lawyers.
sferiffs, clerks of the court, stenograph-
ers and interpreters get to eating and
talking, especially telling stories, there
is no telling when they are going to
quit. Every man there felt sorry to
leave, but even court people figure
there is time to quit, and so Deputy
Attorney General Prosser, Clerk of the
ferpreters Sheldon and Sheba, Deputy
Sheriff Rice and Attorneys Correa, Ka-
60 and Willard finally smoked the last
cigar, drank the last toast told the
last story and babe their host, the
Sheriff, a reluctant good night.
POLO GAME
Last Thursday afternoon quite a
crowd gathered at the polo grounds
at Waipoli to witness the weekly prac-
tice of the Kauai Polo Club. The Ka-
uai boys are praeticing regularly, get
ting in trim for the matched game they
expect to play in Honolulu with the
Maui team on the oath and 9th of this
month.
At the practice game Thursday the
lineup of the team was as follows:
John Malina. No. H.. IS. Mahelona
J. Spalding. mo. H.. Count Bonzi
C. A. Rice. mo. 2......-..P. Malina
A. H. Rice. NO. 49,. Count Semi
and r. S. Spalding.
John Malina No. 1 is a strong and
sure hitter. His main faults are that
he hits too hard when approaching
goals, and he is apt at times to leave
No. without guard. James Spalding
No. 2. is a good goal shooter, and
has improved much lately in his hitting
abilities. Mr.. Spalding is hard play
er, but is apt to be unsteady in his
playing.
C. A Rice No. 8, will captain the
team in Honolulu. He is steady and
sure player, and is the backbone of
the team. AS captain, Mr.. Rice is dis
posed to allow the team too much lat
itude in their playing. and it would be
better if he kept No. 1 and No. from
playing too loose in their positions. A.
II. Rice has always held down No.
on the Kauai team, and at times plays
good polo, but his playing is unsteady
and somewhat. cratic. He is slow at
