FUN AND FOLLY
ON MANCHURIA

OF all the sportsmanlike and gen
orally enjoyable trips any vessel has
ever made out of this port, that Of
the Manchuria on her last voyage
from here to San Francisco apparently
has them all completely faded of the
boards. There was an unusually large
contingent of Honolulu folk on board
the steamer, and from the reports in
San Francisco papers, every one had
the time of his or her life. Geo. A.
Davis, as usual, was well to the fore
ground in the program of social and
athletic events, and while no did not
win any of the handsome prizes of
fered, came into his own as an orator
and POSTMASTER at a dinner ut which
he was one of the hosts. Miss Rae
Bell, "Bob' Shingle. Ray Jones, the
well known clerk at the Moana Hotel,
and Others from Honolulu came in for
| their share of the fun on tho excep-
| tionally pleasant trip of the big liner
| to the mainland. The San Francisco
! Chronicle has as follows to say of the
| voyage:
Surprising in social interest the rec
ofds of many voyages, tho passengers
on the Pacific Mail liner Manchuria,
which arrived yesterday, arranged
| series of entertainments on the run up
from Honolulu, which made the trip an
unusually pleasant one for all on board
1t was decided that n program of
entertainments should be arranged for
tho voyage home, and n meeting was
accordingly held in the dining saloon
and NJ. IL. de Young was named as
chairman and Judge G.. A. Davis of
Honolulu as secretary of the executive
committee; together with DIR. @. Rich
tor, h. Single and ]. p. Bourne. Sub
committees were appointed on sports,
finance, dance and concert, and
ladies' committee was also named.
On Wednesday, when the Manchuria
was in midocean, n sports carnival was
held on the boat deck, with a long
list of events, which included nearly
everything in an athletic way, from a
potato race to whistling match, and
occupied the entire day. First and sec
ond prizes were provided for all the
events by the committee, and the day
was most enjoyable one.
On the following evening fancy
dress dinner was given by the com
mittee, with special menu and wines
provided by the committee. The cos
J tunes worn at this occasion were the
, cause of much merriment. Miss Phillis
de Young appeared as the Pacific
Mail Company, wearing high stove
pipe hat, with cotton smoke issuing
Q from the top, and costume covered
with steamship tags. Miss Kathleen de
Young represented the 6Ship Sub
