TICKETS FOR EXCURSION
TO PEARL HARBOR Go FAST
Many Requests for Places on Yacht Hawaii

fiarbor May 9.

The business office of the Advertiser
was a lively place yesterday afternoon.
People began coming in about clock
and they were not there to buy papers.
nor to insert advertisements nor to
crouch about not having their names
mentioned in the society column. They
were there to make bookings fer the
big excursion to Pearl Harbor on
May 8.
lt Is unfortunate that the possible
accommodation is so alarmingly small.
Judging by the rush for tickets yes
ferday the yacht club could easily char
ter steamer and load it to the gun
wales with eager exeursionists. But
the yacht club is not doing anything
IN the -ehartering line. It is
arranging real yacht cruise and ev-
erybody who buys ticket will have
a place aboard a real yacht.
Mr.. Crane had his baggage labels
all ready These are the tickets for
the excursion. Each one is printed on
both sides with the big word SsPaid''
and blank space for the name of
fhe yacht on which the purchaser will
sail, the which is filed in with ink.
These labels are to be worn by those
who go aboard the yachts and this
method will relieve the various pursers
of much work as they will not have
to go round and ask for tickets but
just take a glance and see whether
people have the big label on.
Ihefe was big run on tickets for
the Hawaii. The announcement. that
the fair sex would have the first chance
on the schooner was taken notice of
and there were half a dozen eager
swans who wanted to know whether
they could get tickets for themselves
as well as the ladies they wished to
invite.
This was quite a question to be an
sWered but Mr., Crane had no trouble,
as all the mere men wanted to take
a small bevy with them and he figured
that one man to four women was about
the right proportion and had no diff
ficulty in placing tickets under those
Hawaii Nearly Full Up.
Those who expect TO go on the Ha-
waii must certainly get in early. There
are only a few places left and it looks
as though all the others would be gone
before tonight. The committee has de-
clded not TO crowd the Hawaii, but to
limit the number of tickers so that ev,
erybody who goes on her can have a
really good time and thoroughly enjoy
the sail to Pearl Harbor and the de-
hghtful beat back along the coast
Everybody who goes on this axcur-
sion will pay for their places. There
will be no dead heads. The land1ubber
who sits in the cockpit and wonders
whether his breakfast will stay down
and the working volunteer. who
nauls on the iib-sheets or slacl;s the
Doom over for jibe, will both come
n with their little ante. The yachts
men feel that this is by way of big
family party to get the yacht club out
# debt and raise sufficient funds to
ook after the Hawaii properly and
hey are all working together to make
he affair one grand success.
Round Trip Fare $3.50.
As already stated. but repeated for
he benefit of those who have not TAX
n notice. the fare will be $3.50 for {
he round trip or $3.50 for a gentle i
nan and lady. Tickets are in the shape :
