Cd to view the exerc SEES. A graceful
tribute OF welcome was rendered the
new college by the girls of Kawalsiiao
Seminary their neighbors, fifty of
whom, accompanied by Miss Bosher
caue over and sang a song as the

! The next number was llU5.e sorg
conce ming the planting of the frs

were composed by Mrs w. NJ Graham.

/ responding for the pupils and dwelling
on the friendly relation existing be-
tween them and the teachers.
America was sung by all guests,
after which the first tree was ceremo-
niously planted by Mr. Pope, the in
structor of Botany at the College. The
! second was planted by Mrs. A. Gartley
the wife of one Of the regents, and
other trees were staked out There

There is a football match this after
non, between the Punahous and Col
/ lege of Hawaiis.
An interesting fact which was reveal
ed on Arbor Day was that concerning
the importation of Date and Royal
Palms into Hawaii. Many people have
| been puzzled to know just how these
! beautiful trees which are now a fea-
ture of these islands came to be here
| at all. It seems that Dr. Judd who
was the grandfather of Mrs. F. NJ.
Swanzy by the way, had put some
seeds of the Royal Palm in his coat
pocket in his travels through Jamaica
and one day in shaking the coat after
reaching Honolulu these fell out, the
result being what now Honolulu peo-
pie boast as the most stately and beau
tiful of all their lovely trees. This in
cident happened about seventy-one
years ago. Mr.. Severance, then Ameri-
can Consul to these islands, and grand
father of Mr.. w. G. Parkes, planted the
first date palm.
