The Hawaiian gazette., 1909-09-07

The Congressional party went around
the island yesterday in twenty.four au-
tomobiles, and the outing was most
enjoyable.
The eighty-mile run was made with
out accident or trouble of any conse
quence, which was a tribute to the
roads as well as to the management.
The visitors were fascinated with the
rapid changes in the scenery and the
kindly hospitality extended to them
along the route by natives and whites
alike.
The start from the Young Hotel look
ed like a Vanderbilt cup meeting.
Autos, large and small, were assembled
under the direction of f. E. Thompson
and T. H. Petrie and given numbers
in the procession. The assignment of
guests was about as published, with the
addition of U. S. Senator Dillingham;
and those who accompanied him to Ho-
nolulu, and few others. The start
was made shortly after nine O'Clock,
and the head machine led off for the
Pail, which was reached in a short
time and the magnificent view from
the Gap not only pleased the visitors
but astonished them. Without delay
the long line of machines ran down the
winding road and out on the long
stretch of the belt road to Kaneohe.
Generally speaking, this road was in
good repair, and little difficulty was
had. At one time l.. L. McCandless
car, which was filed with Democratic
Congressman, stopped on the way
where Road Overseer Paele was at
work, and the Hawaiian politician was
intro1una1 n tho n l-arS
But the surprise of the day came
when the first auto rolled into the beau
tiful grounds of Link McCandless
home in Koolau where the visitors
were taken under the big trees to cool
off, and to be RECALLED with a buffet
luncheon comprising a fine salad, cold
turkey and ham, sandwiches, wine
White Rock and many other things just
as good. The visitors had not expected
this spread, nor had many of the local
people. Mr.. McCandless' bountiful
hospitality was thoroughly enjoyed
The lanais were festooued with male
and everything about the place bore q
festive air.
When the famous Kaluanui beacf
was reached, the travellers found a mum
Der of Hawaiians on hand, and a pail
of mules was anchored nearby to helI
any car which sank into the sand. TIL,
first few cars managed to get across
the watery track called a road, but DR.
Murray's car got into a deep and sof
spot and came to a standstill, mainly
because a guide gave a wrong direction
The mules we're brought into requisi
ton and with the assistance of the en-
CINE the auto pulled through and wen
on its way.
There were a few blowouts with som
machines, but nothing that hindere
the procession.
On reaching the Reform School a
Waialee the Congressman found tn
boys lined up in two ranks in uniform
with the school band playing nationa
airs. Superintendent Gibson and
number of the boys brought out bana
mas and baskets of sugar cane, cut int
, short pieces, and each traveller was pre-
scented with the juicy sticks. Sewers
, of the Congressman got out of thei
machines and inspected the boys q
close range. Mr.. Bartholdt was asie
to make a short address, but he grace
fully retired in favor of Representative
Ellis of Oregon, who spoke kindly
the boys, and referred to the ban
music, saying that those airs wei
At Haleiwa the guests were given
cordial greeting by Manager Clffor
, Kimball and Mrs, Kimball. After

call to luncheon was gratifying an
the party sat down to a dainty repa
