The Kalihi Athletic Club held its
weekly meeting last night at the resi-
denee of Adrian Keoho, President Gou-
veia occupying the chair.
1t was reported that prospects for
the concert and dance to be held on

bright, and that there was a brisk de-
mand for tickets.
With the proceeds of the entertain
ment it is proposed to form nucleus

house. The membership of the club
has grown so that the present quar-
tiers are not large enough to accom-
MEDIATE the crowd which attends the
meetings.
It was decided that the club colors
shall be red and white.
F B. Enos was elected member or
the club.
After some discussion it was agreed
that members in arrears who do not
place themselves in good standing with
the club before next Wednesday, De
dropped from the membership roll.
