Hungry for News. q
Almost as soon as the members of
I the Honolulu committee had introduce
| ed themselves to the visitors on board
| the Mariana, the question was asked:
1 s.What is the news2'' The newspaper
men had been thirteen days out of
reach of cable and wanted very much
to know what had happened around the
| world e. J
With the greatest eagerness they lis
tened to an account ofsthe momentous
doings in Turkey during the past ten
DAYS, but this was not exactly what
was wanted.
/ ssHas anything been happening at
home2' they asked. Home meant
England in this case Unfortunately
the Honolulu cable service had said hit
tie about the affairs of Great Britain.
Notes of the Day.
The blue gum trees along the pall
road and the emus at Kapiolani Park
were things appreciated by the visitors
When Mr. Brett, of Auckland, was
last in Honolulu it was while passing
through to Europe as the Australian
Commissioner to the Paris Exposition
At that time he was entertained by
Queen Liliuokalani and Toasted at a
luau, given by John A. Cummins.
Some of the party. were driven out
/ to Moanama and to the Bishop Museum,
| while others extended their drive to
include the Diamond Head circuit.
j. L. Kelly, formerly of the Hllo
Tribune. and Mr.. Stokes, of the Bishop
Museum, found friends among the WIS
itors.
