MATCH
At TRAPS
Gun Club Makes Ready
For the Live
Birds.

The last clay-pigeon match of the
Honolulu Gun Club for the season was
held yesterday at the gun club quar-
tiers in Manoa valley. A large crowd
of gun enthusiasts was present and
some fairly good shooting was done.
At noon the order to cease firing
was given by the general in command,
or at least the board of strategy com
prising II. E. Cares, K. B. Porter ana
Irwin Spalding, and an excellent lunch
was partaken of. There was fine
chowder, potato salad, ham, sausage,
pickles, bread and butter and cold
beer. Mrs. J. W. Harvey acted as
hostess for the club.
Keen interest was displayed in all
the events, and there was a prodfgiouS
amount of ammunition discharged at
the clays, and much of it wasted.
Even some of the best shots of the
club were not at their best yesterday,
failing to score when it was expected
of them There was one interesting
shoot off between w. E. Wall and H.
E. Cares. They had tied in the gen.
eral match and then decided to shoot
off for five birds. Each took four and
tied again. The next five gave each
three, the next two, the next one, and
finally Mr.. Wall made one bird after
Mr.. Cares had scored goose eggs in
his five shots.
J. W. Harvey and K. B. Porter were,
as usual, up toward the head. In fact,
it is hard to beat Harvey. E. I.
Spalding made some fine records, and
Mr.. LAM, in spite of some waste OF
ammunition, did some fine shooting at
times.
On July 1, next Saturday, the dove
season opens, and the members of the
gun club will desert the traps for the
keener sport of shooting at real birds
on the wing. Large parties are ex-
pected to roam over the island on Sat-
urday and Sunday.

CANAvARRO ENTERTAINED.
Last Monday Mr.. A. de Souza Cana
varro, the Portuguese consul to the Ter
ritory of Hawaii, was entertained at
T Nv "a
by a few prominent citizens. Mr..
Canavarro was entertained at dinner
at Kapaia by the Reverend Father
Adelbert, who had invited a good num-
Der of prominent Lihue Portuguese to
meet the Consul. Monday MIR Cana
varro was shown over Lihue Plantation
and expressed himself as greatly pleas
ed with the fine condition of the plan
tation and the commendable manner in
which the plantation employees are
treated and quartered.
KAUAI NOTES.
The Lihue road board is constructing
a fine piece of road just this side of the
Wailua bridge. This has for many
years been a miserable stretch of road,
rutty, up-and-down, no wider than
wagon track and full of half-expose1
rocks. Mr.. Palmer is having the ro.,fls
removed, is leveling the grade AID is
widening the road to a convenient
width.
Lihue roads are by far the best roads
on the island, but such ought not to be
the case long now that Hanalei is to
have 100000 spent on her heavy traffic
thoroughfares.
Mr.. Norman Greig departed for Oak
land by the last Manchuria, where he
will marry Miss Helen Aldrich, niece
of Mrs. VIM. King of Makaweli. Mr..
and Mrs. Greig intend to return in a
month or so.
Mr.. Turnbull, formerly bookkeeper on
Koloa plantation, left last Saturday
for Honolulu. en- route to Hilo, where
he has accepted a position on one OF
the Hackfeld plantations on Hawaii.
