IRELAND REVISITED AF.
TER FORTY YEARS
Men and Old Conditions in the Ill
Fated Isle.
Editor Observation-Disclosures:

Editor MISREPRESENTATION
Sir:-A glimpse of Ireland through
the columns of your invaluable paper
may not be amiss. as it may interest
many of your readers. Forty years
absence from that land makes a visit
to it both profitable and educational.
NV landing on it after such a long
period awakened many slumbering
memories, for the Ireland of today is
not like the Ireland which l left in
my boyhood. The conditions of its
people are assuming such vast pro-
portions in the field of education. that
it is scarcely recognizable. The COM
pulsory school system, as it exists to-
day, makes it imperative that the
parents send their children to school,
The National schools of the Irish
are second to none in the world
and proof is not lacking as to their
ability. The Irish boys landing to-
day on the shores of this. the western
world. are the peer of those they
meet In their new home on this side
of the western ocean. In the Ma
tional schools the history of their Ill
fated isle is no longer denied them
to read The invasion of the island
by the troops of Henry H., the mas
sacre of its inhabitants by the Crom-
wellian troops, the confiscation of
property, the scaffold with all its
blood curdling tales, even the trial
and execution of the beloved young
patriot, Emmett is, in detail, fully laid
before them.
Trinity college, that institution Of
learning in Dublin which produced so
many men Of ability, poets, patriots
and teachers, after nearly four hun
bred years, shows no marks Of old
age, but is as young and vigorous as
ever. 1t was she that turned out a
Moore, an Emmett, and a Swift. The
latter was the one who coined the
phrase, Burn everything that comes
from England but her coal" Truly
that college has given to the world
It's share Of scholars. 1t was that
same seat of learning that gave to
Ireland Prof. Ingraham, a member
of its staff of teachers today. although
his age Is fast climbing the golden
stairs of 80 years. He was the au-

CRICKETERS ARE HARD
AT WORK PRACTICING.

The cricketers are getting into
fine fettle and are much worked up
over the prospect of a match with
the Maui team. There is much prac-
tice going on nowadays, and, what
with the soccer men also hard at
work. the Makiki ground looks very
animated every evening.
The defeat that the II. c. c. team
got at the hands of the Bishop &
Co. bunch has revived the interest
in the game a lot, and now that
there is some other team to try con-
illusions with, the old players are
wondering when they are to have an
opportunity to wipe out the stain
OF defeat and recover the "ashes."
In the last match Anderson had
hard luck, as he miss hit fast one
and skied 1t to Sinclair, who easily
held 1t. With Anderson once set,
the local team should knock up big
total, that is II some one else can
keep up the other end whilst the To-
cal Trumper makes the runs.
The Maui team is said to be fairly
strong and should be able to give
our men hard game before the
stumps are drawn. Still we all eX-
pect to see the II. C. C. come back
with the Maui scalps at their waists

REVIVAL OF ROWING
IS GOING STRONG

The idea of reviying rowing and
shell racing is catching on and a
meeting will be called in the near
future to discuss the matter. Some
of the prominent old-time sports are
getting interested in the scheme Of
having days racing at Pearl Har-
Dor. and there is no doubt that such
an idea properly carried out would
draw Il great crowd to the PENN
suld.
The King Is most enthusiastic
about the revival of rowing, and as
the Varsity Club men are thinking
of putting crew on the water there
will soon be something doing in the
most healthy and cleanest of sports.
