The yacht Hawaii was weighed in !
the balance on Saturday and was found |
not wanting Her official trial trip |
was held outside on a fairly choppy !
sea with a good stiff trade wind blow
ing, and the yacht proved seaworthy
and satisfactory in every way.
A little before one-thirty all the in
vited guests, including the press, had
been safely put on board, and the or
der to hoist sails was given.
First the main sail was hoisted, then
foresail. and forestry sail, with the
flying jib last AS the wind filled the
sails the moorngs were slipped, and
the yacht got Roadway on, and she
started at a good ten-knOt clip up the
harbor toward Naval row. After the
Gillian man-of-war had been passed,
the order ready about, hard-a-lee'
was given and the fast sailer turned
and headed out toward the open sea.
When she got nearly abeam OF the
Channel wharf she was headed a lit
tie inshore so the photographers could
get a good picture Of her.
The run out of the channel was made
in very good time, and the spar buoy
was abeam at LAS. The course was
set S S E and the staunch craft heeled
over slightly to a good, stiff, steady
breeze.
Diamond Head light opened up bear
ling e, IA at 1.5S, and at 2.14 it was
abeam. At four bells the Moana Ho-
tel was abeam about three and a half
miles off Everything was set with the
exception of the two top sails and
drawing well. Shortly after the spar
buoy was abeam, ex-Commodore Hen
ry E. Cooper took the wheel, and kept
it until he was relieved by Judge Dole
who kept it for some time.
As the yacht approached Diamond
Head, the Moi Wahine could be seen
coming up from the southwark, and II
was decided to give her a run in, as
she seemed to be making good weather
of it. and was going along at good
stiff clip Judge Dole gave the order
hard-a-lee and the Hawaii went ABOUT
on the starboard tack. AS the HAWAII
straightened out for her run in, the
Wahine was about three-quarters OF a
mile off, on the starboard bow. Inc
Hawaii began to pick up and when she
started to run before the wind head
ing about w by N, she was about
abeam of the Moi Wahine, afhough
she was some distance to leeward OF
the fast freighter.
AS the Hawaii ran off before the
wind, the topsails were set, and she
began to pick up a good deal of speed
When the Kalihi flats were abeam, II
!, was decided to go about, and she was
soon headed S S E again. Diamond
Head light was soon abeam again, anC
the yacht once more put on the star

Every one on board expressed great
delight with the way that the new boat

A large NUMBER of local lovers of
wrestling were on hand Saturday night
at the Orpheum to witness the program
that had been arranged by H. M. Ayres.
The first wrestling match between
Isoarashi and Ichinotowas won by the
former who got two falls out of the
three necessary. Akiraka won from
Mashikiyama in the second prelimin-
airy, getting two falls, and in the final
match for the Japanese championship
of the Territory between the two win
ners Isoarashi won, only one fall be-
ing needed, as he was suffering from a
bad shoulder, and his rival had agreed
that one fall should decide the cham
pionship with Mitsuka barred,
Young Scott and Greek Anderson
gave a four-round exhibition of the
manly art, but no decision was given
by Referee Eddie TAFT. If any had
been, Scott should have received it, as
he out-classed Anderson in every way.
The main event of the evening be-
tween Roberts and Mitsuka clearly
showed what science could do against
! strength,
Mitsuka in the first round took Rob
erts up in his arms and rushed him to
the chairs, throwing him face down
ward. Referee Harry Cobb called both
men to the center of the mat and gave
them hold for hol0. Mitsuka, in {
twinkling had Roberts down on his
stomach, but Roberts was up agair
like a flash. Roberts was down agar
in a minute with Mitsuka on top, bu
managed to keep our of danger once
more. A few seconds afterward Rob

not allow Both men went at it agail
but Roberts finally got the Japanes

ringing of bells and over every shining doorsill
there stepped into the crisp morning air the house

the various places of worship and there lifting up
their sweet Holland voices, harsh, perhaps, in
speech, but full and round in song sent up musical
praise for the freedom of their land and the good
things of the earth.
Church over, the entire population for the nonce

a queer stew of meat and vegetables which they
called Spanish hodge-podge. For once in their prac
teal lives the Hollanders became facetious, and
this hodge-podge they made merry and cracked
jokes at their old-time enemy-Spain. The general
"hash-like" appearance of the hodge-podge sup
posed to represent the condition of the Spanish
army when the Dutch had vanquished it. Even

Well, the Puritans heartily approved of the early
religious services of the morning and their healthy
appeties could not fail to appreciate the Spanish
hodge-podge, however much they may have dis
approved of the sentiment which favored it, so they
entered most heartily into the Dutch Thanksgiv-
ing of October 8. In 1893 these Pilgrims held Oc
tober as day of Thanksgiving In the New World
and here we have first true American Thanks
giving cay.
This day has passed through many vicissitudes
since that date. There is not festival on the al
manac fixed or movable which has had the strug-
gle for existence that November holiday has
endured
From 1923 until 1880 Thanksgiving day held
in America In various months, some of the Pilgrims
keeping to October end other coonists holding

the good ship Lyon to return to England for sup

apace, and nothing was heard of the ship. The

record of Thanksgiving day in Boston, it can

GEORGE ON THANKSGIVING

Thanksgivin day comes once year because the
Pilgrim band
Was thankful that they had the sense to leave
their native land
And come across the to find stern and rock
bound shore
Where they would never haft to bow to bosses
emmy more,
Where thieves would not break In and steal and
trusts would never try
To eobbe everything and let the little dealer die
We celebrate Thankssivin' day because the Pill
srims came
In search of freedom where they knew that they
would find the same,
Where men would be brothers, where the
strong would aid the weak,
Where libburty would raise her flag on every
crag and peak,
Where bilIionares would never dare to chea
for profits sake
Or break the laws that other were not al
lowed to break
We celebrate because the hopes hoped by thai
Pilgrim band
Have all true, because there's not an evil
in our land,
Because we have no wealthy rogues to plan anc
plot and scheme
To make the Iibburty we claim vain and empty
dream,
Because our masnates 90 to church and teaet
In Sunday schools,
And everywhere from sea to sea the Christian
spirit rules.
We keep Thanks9iVn' day because the man wht
does his best
To be honest citizen Is honored by the rest;
He may not have share of stock or own foe,
of land,
But all wealthy senators glad to shake
his hand
And hear his plea and guard his rights with all
the ellus
They ever give the interests of any millionaire
We keep the good old day because no idle rict
ignore
The pressing needs of those where Want Is
scratching at the door,
Because have such freedom the Pilgrim.
wished to claim,
Because oppressed and never
spIotched with shame,
Because we've frightened Greed away and raiset
standard high
And kept the faith for which our sires were no
afraid to die.

suing a proclamation of a public
Thanksgiving day. The invitation
was accepted, and IL November,
1852, Plymouth colony and
Massachusetts Bay colony cele-
brated Thanksgiving day to-
gether in manner pretty
much the same as their de-
scendants of to-day, in re-
ligious service and feasting and
funmaking. The one noticeable
omission was the great football
game which marks the day in our
generation.
From 1852 until 1877 the New
England records show that % diff
ferent dates were set apart by the
various governors as days for pub
lie thanksgiving, and that with the
exception of the two colonies men
toned no two held the day on the
same date. The celebrations, how
ever, were held in October or No
vember.
In 1877, as other denominations
had crept into Plymouth colony,
over which the Puritan church had
no ruling, the governor decided
that it would be well to have the
power of fixing public holidays,
whether for feasting, praying or
funmaking," vested in civic au-
thority. Accordingly in that year
the first printed Thanksgiving day
proclamation was printed. Thanks
giving day proclamation was print
ed, setting November 20 as the
festival.
The law reads: That it be in
the power of the governor and as
sistants to command solemn dates
of humiliation by fasting, ETC., and
also, thanksgiving as occasion shall
be offered"
This shows that the law called
for only occasional Thanksgiving
days and so the holiday was buff
feted about hither and yon, from
October to November, according to
the pleasure of the rulers of the
colonies and there never was any
feeling of certainty as to the holi,
day.
