BUSINESSMEN
WERE GUESTS
British and Canadian Chamber
of Commerce People
Entertained.


Commerce of England and Canada were
guests of representatives of the local
Chamber yesterday afternoon after the
Royal Mail steamship Mariana arrived
from Vancouver, and were given an
opportunity to see many of Honolulu s
attractive features.
1t was understood that fifteen people
comprised the party, and a note was
sent out by Secretary H. P. Wood by
the pilot to be delivered to the pros
pective guests, asking them to lay all
sightseeing plans aside and put them
selves in the care of the local commit
tee. When the boat came alongside
the wharf, the announcement was made
from the deck that the party included
about forty people. Messrs. F. NJ.
Swanzy and H. P. Wood Immediately
engaged sufficient number of automo-
biles, and so the entire party was taken
care of. In long line the autos start
ed off for the Pail, and on the way en-
countered a sudden and heavy rainfall.
The visitors, however, said they want
ed to see the Pail, and they saw it, and
much of the beautiful country on the
Koolau side. On the way back the
party stopped at the Country Club
where they were refreshed with tea,
and then visit was made to the Ha-
waiian Sugar Planters Association ex-
pertinent station in Makiki, where the
various methods of growing and fertil-
izing cane were explained. A visit
was then made to the aquarium, and
the party was conveyed thence to the
Moana Hotel, where they had dinner.
The visitors expressed themselves as
surprised to be the recipients of atten-
ton here, it not having entered into
their plans at ALL They showed their
delight in the coloring of the flowers
and pronounced the roads the best
they had encountered since leaving
England. AS to the rain, they said it
was the first they had met since leaving
London, and it seemed natural to run
into good squat. Those in the party

The injuries to the hull of the steam
er Niihau are slight despite the severe
pounding the timbers received while
the vessel was strained on Kamalo
Reef. The Niihau is now on the Ma
rine Railway undergoing an overhaul
ing. The propeller and sleeve are to
be taken out to see whether they have
sustained any damage.

ter, B. c., and will make leisurely
trip down the Coast to San Francisco.
