Rise up, old woman, and shake your
feathers:
You need not think that we are
beggars.
We're only boys come out to play,
So rouse and give US hogmanay.
The Scottish Thistle Club and it's
friends saw the old year out and the
New Year in with a Hogmanay dance.
1t was a Scotch High Ball. The ma
kai ball room of the Alexander Young
Hotel held about one hundred happy,
dancing couples just at midnight, when
bells and whistles heralded the birth of
1904. The dance arranged by the Scot
fish Thistle Club was a very delightful
affair. The hall had been decorated
for the occasion-a Royal Scottish
standard lion rampant, almost con-
cealed one end of the hall. The flag
had been defiantly floating from the top
most flag pole on the Young Building
all day, and was the signal for the
gathering of the clans in the evening.
The grand march began at nine o'clock
and was led by Mr.. Robert Anderson
and Mrs. Douglass. About forty couples
followed. The dance program of TWEEN
ty numbers carried the dancers into the
small hours of the morning. A Scottish
reel. and two Highland Schottishes lent
q hornelike feature to the program.
Refreshments were served for the
guests on the roof garden.
The following committees in charge
of the dance are responsible for its sue
cess:

AT CENTRAL UNION CHURCH.
Two hundred people watched 1903 fade

last night The transition period was
taken up with prayer Songs and ser
mons and prayers preceded the con-

The watch night services began at
nine o'clock and continued for three

NEW YEARS GREETING IS
FLASHED AROUND THE WORLD

New Years greetings from Washing
ton We're flashed through the Honolulu
cable Office around the world last even
ing. The first signal from the Naval
Observatory at Washington was sent
out from the Capitol just at midnight
reaching here about $50 last evening,
five and a half hours earlier. The To-
cal cable Office received notice from the
New York office not to Civ" out in
formation concerning the signals, as
the government had requested that the
test be kept secret.
Signals however have been sent
through the local Office every hour and
as result of the tests Washington
now has an exact record of the begin
ming of the New Year not only in the
four great standard time belts or zones
of the United States, but throughout
North and South America and the four
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1904-01-01

quarters of the globe. Because of the
prohibition put upon the cable by the
government, the exact time it required
to make the circuit could not he given
out. The signals went by land lines
from Washington to Cape Canso, N. s.,
thence by cable to the Azores, Lisbon.
Gibraltar. Malta, Alexandra and Port
Said; by land to Suez, by cable to Alden
and Bombay, by land to Madras, by
cable to Penang, Singapore, Saigon
Hongkong, Manila, Guam, Midway, Ho-
nolulu and San Francisco and by land
back to Washington.
The time of transmission doubtless
was not very great and the signals
were received both outgoing and in
coming on the same chronograph at the
Naval Observatory in Washington.
Why the New Years signals are kept
secret at this time is not explained.
Rear Admiral Colby M. Chester, who
is superintendent of the Naval Observa-
tory, has himself made the following

BALL AT THE MoANA.

The old year was danced out and the

last night by large and representa-

was one of the prettiest functions of the
holiday season and was the more in
teresting because the dance began in
1903 and ended in 1904
The hotel was simply but attractively
decorated with palm branches, the
main entrance being covered with an
arch of palms. The spacious dining
hall where the dancing was held was
festooned with mountain ferns, and a
