.PALAMA gymnasium
OPENED AND ADMIRED


and large crowd of friends of the
institution, as well as members, was
present to admire the new building and
the splendid way in which it is adapted
to its purpose.
The frame covering over the swim
ming tank was pulled down and, in
its place, a spacious building erected,
in width just twice and in height near
ly three times as much.
The ground floor contains the swim
ming pool, spacious dressing rooms for
Upstairs is the gymnasium and it is GER
tainly an ideal gymnasium for this
climate.
The main walls do not reach to with
in several feet of the roof and the
intervening space between the roof
supports is filled in with screen. This
makes the ventilation practically per-
feet.
The floor space is large; So feet by
81 feet, and there is room for basket
ball court as well as a full-sized indoor
baseball diamond. The gymnasium equip
ment was only hung up last night as
all of it has not arrived, but Mr.. Rath
stated that it would be the most COM
plete equipment obtainable and every
thing in the way of up-to-date gym
nastic apparatus would be installed
within a short time.
A notable feature of the building is
that it was constructed entirely by
Kamehameha boys under the supervi
sion of Mr.. Eskew. They have done
a fine piece of work and, from the
metal braces under the floor beams of
the gymnasium to the last window
frame, everything is absolutely Al.
Last night the gymnasium was
crowded with the friends Of the in
stitution who were there to do honor
to the new building. Chairs were ar
ranged in rows, there was a piano and
a quintet, speeches and refreshments
! and plenty of chatter in between times.
Prospectuses of the institution telling
all about the different classes, both
educational and physical, may be OBJ
tanned at the institution from Mr..
Rath and it is very surprising to see
the amounts that are required for year
~ dues. Fifty cents for boys or girls
under twelve years of age and So for
| those who are eighteen and over.
