gambler crowd gave a luau and were
careful i'm making up their list Of guests
to include all prominent persons who
might be expected to have something
to do with preparing the Anegawa list
Of guests. Reciprocity was hoped
for, but it did not come, and the gam
bler-sporty crowd saw the reception
only from affair."

They tell me that the Japanese are
invading a sphere Of the hack driving
industry that has heretofore been
monopolized by citizens. Time was
when many ladies i'm the community
had their favorite hackdriver just as
they had their favorite clerk in the
stores. But now all has changed, and
master Jap is the favorite hack driver.
The reason given is that the white and
native drivers get too wise"
I have heard lately of quite a number
Of very prominent people who do their
riding i'm japanese hacks But l ought
to qualify this statement however by
explaining that their night riding is
done in japanese hacks. What the
to, I am at a loss to say, unless it be,
where the people go and who they go
with.
The other night one of the well known
bunch, hailed a hack and boarding the
conveyance rode some distance. Finally
addressing the driver he said. Say,
Japanese, more better you go this street
dede more"
To the establishment of the fare the
supposed Japanese turned and in
dignantly exclaimed japanese! hill,
amt no Jap; I am an Irishman."

The Republicans held quite a lively
rally at the Kamuki Zoo night before
? last. One of the attractions was a
large amount of free beer and some of
the crowd enjoyed it. One big strap
ping native was especially loud in his
protestations of loyalty to the party,
: and especially loyal in his attentions to
, the kegs ofbeer. Finally orders were
! given that he should not have any more
, beer. He received the announcement
, with a look that had more of sorrow
4 for those who made it, than of anger
, and he went to another part of the
, grounds and started a rival meeting
He soon got big crowd. And the
p. Republicans do say that when they
7 came to open up their reserve force
, of beer they found that the bungs Of
, every barrel had been started ant
f that the rival meeting was promulgat
! ing Home Rule politics and was mark
-, ed by great enthusiasm.
+ The other evening l dropped out t.
Y a Waikiki hotel where there happened
= to be a dance and spent some time il
s watching the people enjoy themselves
While l watched l became conscious o
something out of place and 1 had not
5 great deal of difficulty in deciding tina
v it was the dress suits or TuXedos whic
= nearly all the men wore.
g 1 could not help but think what a
e lack of sense it showed for men in this
d country to put on dress suits to go to
TIA Hotel dance or other ordinary func-
e ton. A dress suit in cooler climates
mis- bad enough but in this climate it is
|, insufferable. And still men persist T.
IS wearing such things and undergoing
a great deal of physical discomfort s
that their minds may be at rest on tn
question of attire.
If In Hawaii the white dress coat 4
&c the tropical Orient ought to be adopted
y There are those who claim that a ma
l. looks more dressy in "clawhammer
1t but how about the fourth or fifth dane
If when the shirt front is melted and tn
1t collar is a limp rag. How about look
er ing dressy then?
1T And again how about the Tuxedo
1T Unless the SENATORIAL experts are a
t, wrong, or Hawaii has become a la
id unto herself, the Tuxedo is as out
~ place at a dance as silk hat is with
lie sack coat.
