he reaches the deck Of the horse. When
the horse reaches the street it is often
to make a squirt and then the passersby

horseback and the horse mad about it.
Generally the riders form company
and go dashing about at, breakneek
speed.
Then there are the chtfms who split
the cost of a horse and buggy The
best in the stable is what they want.
The senior chum gets the steering gear
and the other lois back in the seat
like any old millionaire, puts his feet
on the dashboard and looks out on the
world with disdain. Both puff big fat
cigars, but the best, mind you, and
their pockets are filed with other good
Havanas.
Then there is the auto crowd, hilar-
ious and showing off. This is the
crowd that stops often at rest and re-
freshment places. If they don t have
merry time it is no fault of them.

and tenderloin steaks that regular
patrons go hungry until they locate
another meal factory.
The fruit stores did a rushing bust

nuts went like hot cakes. The sailor,

At the Moana Hotel the Hawaiian
band gave a special concert in the
pretty hau tree arbor close to the
beach II was a departure from t .
usual Sunday concert and was largely
attended, many officers of the feet be-
ing present The grounds were well
supplied with benches, settles and
chairs. The concert was enjoyable, and
the hope was expressed that more con-

ing was patronized to the limit of the
bathrooms, both at the Moana and Sea-
side At the latter place the sailors
swarmed over the lawns and owned the
premises.
The waikiki Inn was another pop
Mar resort for bluejackets and horses,
buggies and wagonettes were plentiful
around the place.
The feet patrol was out in force yes

town. The officers in charge of this
important detail of sailor police have
done their duty exceptionally well. The
patrolmen are distinguished from their
