SAILORS ON SKATES
HEED THE ANTHE NJ

A night or two before the Pacific
fleet sailed away for the South Seas,
a very large number of American blue
Jackets and marines were cavorting in
the Princess skating ring, and the au-
dience had lot of fun watching their
antics, particularly their falls on the
cement floor. The gyrations of the
skaters were at their height when the
band began to play the Star Spangled
Banner, the finishing number Of the
program.
Instantly the amateur and oldtime
skaters slowed down, and the blue
Jackets made frantic efforts to stop
dead in their tracks and face the music.
Gradually the tangled mass came to
stop and soon almost every man was
standing at attention and facing to.
ward the musicians stand.
1t was difficult for many to keep an
even keel while the anthem was play
ed and few fell down but never was
order in a swiftly moving, scrambled
mess, so quickly accomplished. The
patriotic lesson which the skating sail
ors gave to the audience was unusual
but effective.
BIueiackets have fairly swarmed
over the floor of the rink. The Amer
lean sailors held the boards but to-
ward the last of the fleet IS stay the
German and Dutch sailors invaded the
rink and held about all the available
space The Dutch skated as if on ice
and il took them some time to master
the rollers. The German sailors are
now quite adept, but they are hard
put to it to keep their feet nowadays
as the British sailors are learning
They are the hardest men to hurt, it
would seem, for during the past two
days dozens of them have mounted the
rollers and most of them have done
considerably skating on the seats OF
their trousers. They are working
amateurs but by the time the Bedford
leaves they will give cards and spades
to the local bluejackets.

AIT LEAGUE ANNUAL
MEETING ON FRIDAY

Business of Importance is to be
taken up at the annual meeting of the
Kilohana Art League, to be held in the
league rooms, on the corner of Miller
and Beretania streets, on Friday after
noon. This will be the first "annual"
meeting of the league for two years
and the first meeting of the members
since the trustees accepted the resig
nation of Mrs. William Montrose
Graham as secretary and named Miss
f. Schnoor in her place.
An impression has prevailed that the
league went out of business some time
ago, this impression arising from the
fact that the lease of the building was
supposed to terminate and that no
move was being made to renew it.
The lease has two years yet to run,
however.

Steam for Sugar Boats.

The sugar companies and those en-
gagged in Transporting their sacehariue
products are inclined to make use of
steam vessels nowadays instead of sail
ing vessels. 4 sailing vessel requires
about three months to make round
trip and a steamer can make the same
trip in about three weeks. Deliveries
are quicker and more dependable. and
so sail power is fast going into disuse.

the transportation Of the sugars fur
nished by Alexander 4 Baldwin. Ltd,
