BALL A SUCCESS
In presenting it's report on the bali
and reception at Waikiki. which cost
the committee less than 5000 net, which
amount met all the expenses of the two
balls given for the sailors and the re-
ception TO the Admiral, the entertain
ment committee said:
This feature of the entertainment
was the subject of SO much criticism
| that your committee takes this oppor-
| tunity of expressing the opinion that
the method adopted-viz., s. per ticket
was the most successful manner of
| conducting this function. Although the
! charge of S. appeared high, the attend
ance was limited to about the desired
number of people to suit the aceommo-
dation without the ill-feeling which in
variably comes about from an invita-
| tional affair where, with the greatest
| care, number of desired guests are
| overlooked It is the belief of your
committee that the novelty of the open
air ball with the decorations and illum-
| nations. besides the grand natural sur
roundings, has proved feature which
will not soon be forgotten by our visi-
| tors 1t might also be added that the
sailors bali at the erected pavilion met
with popular favor with both the men
and officers of the feet and the ladies
| attending are deserving of great praise
for the manner in which they entered
| into the spirit of the affair and earned
| the everlasting respect of the boys -
The receipt from the sale Of ball

ceeds from the sale of the floor was
$6219 90, while for the whole affair at
Waikiki the appropriation had been
$250O.
