PLEASED WITH PAIL


overlook this, however, and expressed
complete satisfaction at the site select
| ed and at the nature of the buildings
put up by the money they had voted.
From the camp the majority of the
machines were driven out to the brow
of the hill overlooking Pearl Harbor,
where panoramic view could be OBJ
tanned of the harbor where some day
the American war vessels will rendez-
vous for offense and defense, the pivot
point from which the western coast
of the mainland will be guarded from
the attack of any hostile fleet.
Returning, many of the visitors were
taken through the beautiful grounds of
Moanalua, where the golf links and the
polo field were particularly admired.
The Bishop museum, which had been
opened especially in honor of the Con-
gressional party, was next visited and
here the visitors spent the remainder
of the morning, which was much too
short time for many of them. Many
expressed the determination to return
to the museum before they leave the
islands and spend long enough in one
or another of the departments to ex-
anime the exhibits more closely.
Professor Brigham was on hand to
escort the party through the various
halls and he was very busy man
during the time the visitors were with
him, the number of questions asked
and answered being very many. The
hall containing the feather work and
that with the relics of Hawaii attract
ed the most attention and interest
from the visitors, who expressed an
appreciation of the whole museum
most fiattering to those in charge.
After luncheon the party set out for
the Pail, the drive up the valley being
taken at an easy pace by the ma
could be properly seen. The Pail it,
self was reached about three O'Clock
and nearly an hour was spent there.
Although the wind was playing it's
usual pranks and the storm clouds
combed over the ridges threateningly,
none of the party wanted to leave as
early as they did, but time was linn
tied. Just as the party pulled away
from the brink a shower came up,
which the machines raced to the Coun-
try Club building, where afternoon tea
was served.
1t was rather a surprise to the Wis
itors to be informed that the club had
only had an existence of few months
and that the housewarming of the
clubhouse had taken place only
week or two before, and they were loud
in their congratulations to the mem
bers over the beauty of the site Sc
lected and the great progress already
made towards making the club an
ideal one.
Tit party returned to Honolulu just
in time to attend in a body the SER
vices at st. Andrews cathedral.
TODAY's PROGRAM.
This morning the visitors will be
taken to Waikiki, where a visit viii
| be paid to the Aquarium and a spin
made around Diamond Head. It is
possible that time will also be found
for visit to the Oahu College grounds
and a trip through the residential Sec
ton of Makiki.
The afternoon is to be left free for
| the members of the party to make
| what arrangements they desire for the
| trip to Kauai. which will begin this
| evening at o'clock. The committee
| have arranged for either the Kinau or
| the Mauna Loa to make the run, and
| yesterday the majority of the ladies
| of the party made up their minds to
| miss nothing of the trip and will con-
| sequently be aboard the steamer to-
/ night. Senator Knudsen. who was
| with the party yesterday, has made
| himself personally responsible for the
| weather and has guaranteed a sea as
| smooth as a millpond both going and
| coming. His eloquent description of
| the Garden Island had considerable to
/ do in ASSISTING the VISITING Iaaia, n
