The meeting was unusually well
for there were present be-
sides the representatives from the
different clubs a large number of
spectators who were anxious to find
out the results of the meeting. The
clubs were represented as follows:
Chinese Athletic Club, Edward Ayau;

sumori and John Motley; Chinese
Aloha Club, Albert Akana and w. Tin
Kclekolio and N. X. Hoopii. The
meeting did not commence until 8
p. M. owing to the late arrival of the
representatives from the Chinese Ath-
, letic Club.
The first business taken UP by the
representatives was the election of a
| temporary chairman. Bernard, Kele-
kolio, the former president of the
league, was unanimously selected to
I'll the position. For secretary w.
Tin Chong, who held the position
last year, was elected temporarily.
kelekolip made a nice speech in
speaking to the members as to the
purpose of the meeting. I'VE are
/ here again to reorganize a league
that we all are proud Of" he began.
/ When | first heard that the meeting
would be held tonight my heart was
filled with joy, as the aloha nui l
have for this dear old league. which
has entertained thousands of people
freely the past year, Is much stron-
ger than that have for anything
else" He concluded by stating that
the members should use good judg-
ment in the selection of officers and
that all feeling, II any the members
may have, should be put aside.
When they were ready for the
election of permanent officers for the
year 1908, w. Tin Chong, the repre-
sentative from the Chinese Aloha
Club, placed the lame of A. l.. &. At
kinson in nomination, which was
promptly seconded by Hon. S. p. Cor
rea, representing the Palama A. G.
There was no other name proposed
and Jack was elected by unanimous
vote.
The election of vice president
caused a good deal of debate. After
talking for half an hour without
coming to any agreement II was post
poned until the next meeting. For
secretary, w. Tin Chong was unani-
nIously reelected on nomination OF
X. Yasumori and seconded by N. Hoo
pill. The election of treasurer lid
not meet with any difficulty, as Robt.
Assam, who filled the place to the sat-
isfactiCn OF all the clubs last season.
was again elected. For auditor, a
new Office, created to take the place
of chairman of the financial commit
tee, Edward Ayau, the manager OF
the Chinese A. c., was elected.
One of the most important matters
of the meeting was the drafting of
the constitution and bylaws. This

ing committee: Hon. S. p. Correa,
chairman; E, Ayau, X. Yasumori, w.
Tin Chong and N. X. Hoopii This

meeting of the league. The season
