| devoting considers BILE of its space tc
write-ups of the Hawaiian Islands, as
| a trip to the Islands is one of the
| prizes to be awarded in its voting con-
| test now in progress. The school teach
err receiving the highest number of
votes has the opportunity of trip to
| and about the Islands. A portion of
| the write-up consists of directions to
| the prospective fair tourist from San
| Jose as to what she should carry with
her on the trip Instructions are given
as to the fabric of the gowns she
should wear, caps and hats, trunks,
satchels, etc.
The Mercury and Herald says:
The fair tourist will go to and re-
turn from the Hawaiian Islands on
one of the magnificent steamships of
the Oceanic Steamship Company, fitted
up in the most superb manner.
The repasts daily served in the pala
tial saloons of these steamers equal
the cuisine of the Palace Hotel in San
Francisco. Each steamship is fitted up
with great refrigerators, which insure
abundance of ice, fresh meat, fish, veg
etables, fruit, etc, during the entire
voyage. The advantage of this can
only be fully appreciated by those who
made the voyage in the old-style yes
sells, part of whose decks were foul
stock-yards and slaughter pens: This
filth and Inconvenience are wanting to
the incidents of the voyage between
San Francisco and Honolulu under the
present system-a fact which the trav-
cling public generally and our special
traveller in particular Will not fail to
appreciate.
Our charming representative will be
escorted up the gang plank and intro
duced to the officer in charge of the
ship, to whom she will be commended
for especial attention, as her ''letters
home' will be given wide publicity
in the columns of the Mercury and
Herald, and it is essential that she
should be shown every attention, and
all the details of life on ship board
enjoyed by her, that she may write
instructing and entertaining articles to
be read by the less favored ones who
are forced by their environments to
forego the pleasures of such delight
full trip, but who will follow her in
her journeyings with heartfelt wishes
of 'God-speed, and read with pleas
ure the chronicle of her travels.
The travelling outfit of the popular
lady teacher who selects this trip,
should consist of small steamer
trunk, which can readily be slowed
away under her berth, and a good
sized travelling satchel in which she
can carry the toilet necessities for
everyday use. Of course, if she
chooses, she may carry a large Sara
toga, or as many trunks as she wishes
to, but these can not be put into the
state-rooms, where their contents can
be readily got at, but must be rele-
gated to the baggage room in the hold
and there remain until the end of the
voyage. stout, plain travelling dress
of some rough, Scotch goods; small
hat or, better yet, cap that the I'M
ruly wind can not toss into the ocean;
these, with a heavy travelling shawl
and some light dresses for wear in the
tropics, should constitute the main fea-
lures of our lady's travelling ward
robe.
Probably she will see Mr. and Mrs.
Snobbish and their interesting off
spring. 1t is very evident that their
riches have only been recently ac-
quired and their pretentious and gen.
eral superciliousness make them an
unvarying source of amusement to the
other passengers, and a source of con-
slant aggravation to the steward and
other humble employees of the company
who are compelled to bear with their
whims. The Santa Clara girl with all
her senses keenly alert as she leans
over the rail watching her fellow-voy-
ayers come aboard will have no diff
Guilty in recognizing the experienced
traveller as he swings himself up the
gangway.
From her comfortable hotel at Homo
lulu, with its broad shady verandas
and ample grounds, our teacher will
make many delightful excursions, ex-
ploring Oahu, the island upon which
the capital of the kingdom is built;
reveling in the superb bathing in the
unwarmed surf at Waikiki beach;
travelling on the Oahu railway to Eva
Plantation, skirting the far-famed
Pearl Harbor, and seeing some of the
