we tried to insinuate that we were

Just as we seemed to be doing of

informed that we had arrived. The

were on hand and few moments later
we were on the wharf being greeted
by the reception committee.
The Maui reception committee never
does things by halves and we were in

Manager Bull stated last night that the
loss is but nominal.
News of the fire was telephoned into

WAIANAE CRUISE
GRAND SUCCESS
Youngsters Have the Time of
Their Lives on Board
the Hawaii.

The yacht cruise to Waianae was one
grand success. Everybody who went
on the trip came back with thick
coat of sunburn in different shades,
varying from light red to deepest
brown. The Wilder idea of taking the
youngsters out proved even more of
a success than was predicted and the
future owners of racing machines all
had the time of their lives.
There was a great breeze on Satur-
day afternoon and the Hawaii ran down
to Waianae in jig time. She dropped
anchor before clock and was join
ed by the Gladys an hour later. The
Charlotte G. came along about 9
o clock and the Kan blew in lust be-
fore midnight.
There were sixteen amateurs aboard
the Hawaii and the cabins would have
been crowded if the kids had not elect
ed to sleep on deck. The awning was
up and there was a plentiful supply of
mattresses and blankets so the younger
members of the crew turned in above
decks and kept the halliards twanging
with their nautical talk and arguments,
until the small hours.
The sun had scarcely doomed over
the horizon when the Youngsters were
up and doing They took the dinghy
ashore and began to battle Then they
came back aboard and made a noise
like being hungry. Steward Hamil-
ton was kept busy singing out large
consignments of bacon and hot cakes
and then everybody either lolled on
deck or went out fishing from the
rocks. Before getting under way there
were visits of ceremony from one
yacht to another and everything was
gone through in true nautical style.
Shortly after 9 o clock the order
was signaled to hoist sail and all four
yachts started on the beat back to
Honolulu. The two sloops and the yawl
kept in shore and found favoring
breeze. The Hawaii kept out to sea
and struck light airs. Those who kept
IN shore reached Honolulu well be-
fore dark but the Hawaii was almost
hecalmnd and so Commodore Wilder
decided to put in TO Pearl Harbor.
There was a good breeze for the
schooner all the way up the harbor
and she dropped anchor off the yacht

HUMANE SOCIETY
DOES GOOD WORK
Crippled Horses and Mules No
Longer Are Made to
Work.

In quiet way, the work of the
Humane Society is being made effec-
tual through systematic oversight of
all the sixty-four stables in town
where hundreds of horses and mules
are housed. The Humane Society, since
it's reorganization last year, has been
keeping close tab on animals, and
there are few suffering dumb brutes
to be seen on the streets.
Miss Dawson not only has her spe-
eial agents badge from the Humane
Society, but she is provided with a
Board of Health agents badge and
special police commission from the
Attorney Generals Department. She
has visited all the stables. In mary
she found horses and mules laid up,
undergoing treatment. When she be-
gan her work on the streets, many
nliore were added to the animal hos
pital rolls.
Tt is only amongst the ignorant own
ers of horses and mules that suffering
brutes are to be found, but these are
gradually learning that weak, crippled,
sick and decrepit mules and horses must
not be worked.
The big firms, draying concerns, etc,
which use scores of high priced horses
and mules, regard them as an asset to
be we'll looked after. Some stables are
visited regularly every Sunday by
veterinaries and if any animals show
signs of having been used too hard
during the week, they are singled out
for treatment.
One difficulty with the poor owners
of horses, and these are largely Japa-
nese and Chinese, is the fact that owing
