ne thought the reporter looked like
nice man. Young said all he objected
to was having members talk over the
head of the Chair to the press repre-

thing he gave utterance to could be
published; he thought the reporter did
not need any instructions as to what
should be printed. A warm wave
broke over the solitary scribe and he
remained throughout the interesting
conversatzione. Secretary Hosmer Ia
| the custom was. These were only COM
mittee meetings and their doings
would all eventually become public
through the Promotion Committee.
The motion to plant bougainvillieas
on the face of Punchbowl carried,
three to two, Hosmer and Kidwell vot.

was left out.
Kidwell reported progress on the

The matter OF the Identification OF

!, Mcintyre thought the cemeteries

appearance OF the city cemeteries.
The Identification OF Diamond Head
was touched on but no action was TAX

Young interrupting one or two of his
speeches but, as he said, he wanted
the meeting to end amicably, and he
therefore radiated good nature on all
and the meeting ended with everybody
agreeing with everybody else in a reg
ular flow of soul. The irrepressibility
of some present was connected by Kid.
well with the fact that the night be.
fore there had been a Bobbie Burns
celebration by the Scotch and others
Mcintyre said neither he nor Mr.
Young had attended. Hosmer remark

this was, Of course, in the utmost
good nature.
Secretary Hosmer told all about the
great meeting of all the improvement
clubs at the Y. NJ. @. A. for next Mon

prominent men had been invited tc
give five-minute talks. 1t was decided
by the meeting that President Grit
fiths should be present to represent
the committee and that he should tel
the people something Of the object o
the improvement movement.
From the nature of the discussion
of details last evening II was very eyi
dent that all present took an enthusl

community and the Identification o
their city. There was zest to every
thing that was said, by all, that mean
