HAWAlIANS AT SALT LAKE
ENJOY HULA AND FEAST

fully in a manner peculiar to the
dance
After the young women had COM
pleted their part, Mrs Koheona. wo-
man over so years old, who was once a
famous dancer, came forward and
danced in SO graceful and charming
a manner that she took the crowd by
storm. She was cheered and encored
again and again.
Songs by native Samoans, a guitar
solo by Walter Smith. a Maori, and
Tahitian songs followed.
POLE-CLIAIBING. A FEATURE.
Then came the athletic events. If
any American thinks he can climb
poles or run races. he should watch for
a few moments the agile and timber
movements of these brownies from the
Pacific isles. Telegraph poles had been
erected and made to resemble cocoanut
trees. Clarence Davis of Samoa won
the event, climbing to the top and back
in fifteen seconds.
The tug of war was won by the Ia
hitian team.
The obstruction race was won by
John Broad of Murray. native of
Hawaii.
The canoe race came next. In the
girls race, Ida Thorne, a Samoan. won
easily. The second race was won by
George Blood of Kaysville, a Samoan.
Alonzo Kennard, Tahitian from Riv-
erside, would have secured the prize
but for an accident. When near the
finish while making a sharp turn. he
was thrown headlong into the water,
while his canoe was turned upside
down. This seemed to amuse the crowd,
as they shouted and laughed at his
efforts to extricate himself from the
rigging of his boat.
H. ]. Sheffield, a Tahitian, was the
winner in the third race.
The swimming races were won by
Henry Liloa, a Hawaiian, and Ida
Thorne, a Samoan.
The prize for each contest was So
in cash.
President Joseph F. Smith made a
short address, in which he expressed
himself as highly gratified at meeting
so many of the native islanders, and
so many of the missionaries who had
labored in their behalf. He spoke of
the work and hardships undergone in
the early days in the Pacific. and con-
graduated all on the success that had
been achieved.
dinner was served in the Bowery
and in the long arbors leading to it.
The space was divided into four sec
tions. over each section was placed
a huge placard bearing the name Ha-
wall, Samoa, Tahiti and New Zealand.
President Smith presided over the Ha-
waiian section; President John P.
Winder over the Samoan: President
Anthem H. Lund over the Tahitian and
Apostle Frances NJ. Lyman, over the
New Zealand.
The tables were decorated with flags
of the United States and the colors of
the different islands. They were loaded
with good things to eat, including sand
wiches, salads, cakes, pies, fruits and
nuts of all kinds, tea, coffee and lem
onade. Here they talked over the old
island days, exchanging news from the
old folks, chatting in their native
tongues.
After dinner was over they rested for
while under the trees in groups,
meeting old friends and exchanging
greetings. Then they crowded the dane
ing pavilion, where as many as pos
sible engaged in dancing. Others roam
ed around the grounds, while still 9TH
ers rowed about the lagoon until the
late evening trains were ready to bring
them home.

THE MOSQUITO PEST.
Prof. c. L. Marlatt, of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, the entomologist
in charge of experimental field work,
was asked today what the bureau has
gained this year that is new in fight
ing the mosquito pest, especially any
thing that would be of interest in Ha-
wall.
THE mosquito pest in Hawaii" said
he, has been comba tied by some very
able men, who have all the standard
knowledge on the subject. The expert
with the experiment station in the Ter
ritory IS especially we'll equipped for
the work AS a matter of fact there
is very little new to be had at present
in fighting mosquitoes. Ditching and
careful drainage are, as is we'll known,
the most important. When that fea-
ture is carefully attended to a long step
forward has been taken. The use of
kerosene oil is a splendid temporary
help
''Since the announcement by the De-
partment that sulphate of copper was
| useful in purifying water supplies, we
have been making some experiments
in this bureau on the efficacy of that
sulphate in exterminating mosquito
| larvae Those experiments may prove
of interest to Hawaii. but they are not
sufficiently advanced yet to permit of
any definite statements. We have
found that under certain conditions
the sulphate will kill certain kinds of
| mosquito larvae. 1t does not appear
| to be deadly to the larvae of yellow
| fever mosquitoes. Then much depends,
as to the efficacy of the sulphane upon
| the condition of the water"
Prof. Marlatt says that DIR. L. o.
| Howard, the chief of the entomology
| bureau and the foremost authority on
| insects probably in the world. has a
| book on mosquitoes in America well I'M
| der way. In that book DR.. Howard also
proposes to have something about the
| mosquitoes of Hawaii.

WHEN OLD CUSTOM
HOUSE WAS BUILT
Boston, Aug. II. 1904.

Boston, Aug. IL, 1904.
Editor Advertiser: Noting your COM
ments in a recent Gazette, am re-
minded that in 1871, 1 was a clerk in
the employ of Ladd & Co., whose. store
and storehouses stood on the corner of
Nuuanu street and a roadway-not a
made road-now called Queen street,
which did not extend Eva way beyond
Nuuanu.
The land makai of Ladd & Co.'S
premises was an open lot with short
wharf of Ladd & Co.'S.
1t was during the two or three years
later then Al that the Custom House
was built. if I remember correctly. 1t
was thought to be a remarkable build
ing for Honolulu at that time.
The coral blocks of which the build
ing was made We're cut to uniform size
on the reef opposite the harbor at low
tide, by the natives. The axes used
We're those now widely celebrated from
the works of Alvin Ames & Son,
which at that early date had won
reputation for durability and temper
and holding their sharpness over all
others.
Yours,
GORHAM d. GILMAN.
p S-There was not a literal de-
scendent of the old royal line of the
Kamehamehas in that recently dedicat--
ed tomb of the Kamehap1ehas" so
called. Their remains We're in the tomb
built by Mr.. Bishop. The box of So
called Kamehameha rs bones was a
farce and fraud and no one knew it
better than the one who perpetrated it.
No one knew when the old chieftain's
bones were finally disposed of.

In the next throw Malina got the ball.

goal, but was blocked by Aiken. Bank
Baldwin sailed in and made beautiful
drive which hurled the sphere toward
kauais goal posts. but it went TO one.
side. There was splendid interference
by the Kauai boys There was consider
able scrimmaging and passing back and
forth until Frank Baldwin nervily mall
leted the ball up field and sent it flving
between the posts. Time. d minutes
Wilbur took the ball spendidly down
the field but was unfortunately pocketed
by H. Baldwin at a critical moment. the
ball going to A. Rice who rode like
mad up field with it but failed TO score
as F. Baldwin blocked prettily with
back hand stroke. A. Rice took another
try and was successful. Time, 21a min
utes.
In the next toss-in. it was noticed as,
before, that Aiken and Wilbur were not
playing the real game, in that they kept
too much together leaving openings on
either side for the Kauais to play with
profit. This section of the game be-
come interesting. although long Tries
for goals were frequent and beautifully
played. Spalding began to show what
a splendid rider he was, but was given
many hard rubs by F. Baldwin who was
mounted on Foxy Grandpa, The Maui
hits were infrequent that is good. tell
ing ones. Once the ball was before
Maui's goal but with pretty playing Maui
got it off again, after which Wilbur and
Aiken took it up to Kauai's territory,
and Aiken passed the ball between the
posts. Time, 7 minutes.

Baldwin took the ball at the start and
drove it to the side line. Aiken made
beautiful stroke but Malina saved his
side from losing by jamming the bali
away. c. Rice took it on a longgskfoke,.
with F. Baldwin following on tCapt
Glen Collins former thoroughbred pony.
Malina pursued Aiken but the latter
bowled the ball between the uprights.
Time, k5o.
Kauai made desperate effort to gain
a goal at the next toss-in. As the play
ers drove the ball over the end line
Wilbur was seen to dismount and limp,
away. He was assisted off the field and
Joe Taylor was substituted. Both the

not only as goal keeper but working up.

drove another goal. Time, 5.25. The
remainder of this period gave the Kau-
ais two goals in succession followed by
