getting two parks for Hilo, made "a
ringing speech, officially interpreted b.
Beers, in which he said Jack Atkinson
was a joker Rice doomed the Bacn-
elor Tax, which made Long, Castro ami
Atkinson vince. Alfonso. for fun,
started to talk i'm Portuguese, but had
forgotten how or else Castro could not
interpret, and swung OFF into English,
declaring that as chairman OF the
military committee he felt very proud
to see SO brave throng Kaniho de-
claimed against the need of militia,
especia1y since he had seen Fort Ruger
behind Diamond Head, which he said
was immovable and would endure for
ever. He believed local militia would
seek the glue bushes in event of war
and he, for one, would be satisfied 70
hide behind tire strong United States
troops. No one believed he was Sc
rious, for the Kohala Cannon BAH
would fight with the rest if the neces-
/ sity arose. Carley had some bright
remarks to make, making good for the
body called it.
Jack Atkinson handed the House
bouquet, declaring that whereas in
previous sessions the Senate had been
considered the conservative body, the
House had succeeded justly to that
title, proving its honor and worth and
careful judgment. 1t was to the
House the people had appealed for con-
servative legislation and it was the
House that had responded with such
J splendid credit. He assuredly slam
med the Senate and the liquor matter
was the reason of his remarks. Jack
! took his seat amid a cataract Of ap-
plause.
Outside of an Introductory Fairbanks
| cocktail, the beverage was beer, about
a pint each to those who drank. There
was nothing Senatorial about the re-
\ lfreshments. Toasts were drunk to
Kaniho as having served in every le-
gislature of this Territory; to the hold
over members of the House; to the
members of the other islands, to
Speaker Holstein; to eX-legislators
present, and to several other good
| causes.
Oh, yes, Admiral Beckley made a
, speech. The hero of thousand
| speeches did himself proud, taking the
middle distance so one end of the
table would not be favored more than
another. He starter in by addressing
, ladies anG gentlemen though the
ladies within hearing were not of the
party, but were separate lunchers, tou-
rists and week-enders from the metro
polls. 1t was the usual Beckley speech
and was much encouraged and politely
rewarded by unanimous applause.
During the plentiful repast a glee
! club furnished lively music and after
luncheon few of the holder members
| tripped measure or SO to the time OF
the stringed instruments.
Some returned to town via Leilehua
cavalry camp in automobiles; some
made a break for home in the after
noon train; while others remained over
for the night train in, waiting to 10
justice to a 1uau arranged not far
from the hotel.
Bidgood's hotel register was nonored
with some half hundred distinguished
names and everybody had their pictures
taken. Keaiawaa and Hihio were
grouped for a special photograph and
the tourists took advantage of the cir
cumstance to aim their kodaks at the
patr:archal pair.
Everybody had a good time and
there were no casualties. The Terri
tory will benefit by the trip.
Last, but not least the Waianae band
gave brief concert while the return
ing afternoon train halted at their
station.
