ANOTHER EXCURSION
ON MARCH SIERRA
Cummings Pacific Travel Bureau
Will Hold Liner a Few
Hours.

Among the excursions planned to ar
rive from the mainland next spring is
one to be conducted by the II. W. Dun
ming company for Boston, sailing from
San Francisco March l6 in the oceaac
steamship Sierra. The Cunning com.
pany is known as the Pacific Travel
Bureau, and is one of the best known
in the East
Doctor Scudder, pastor of Central
Union Church, who recently returned
from n trip abroad, travelled with ono
of the Dunning parties for several
weeks last summer through Italy, and
the doctor states that Mr.. Dunning is
up to date in every way.
In the booklet which the Dunning
company is sending out in large mum.
beers, Honolulu and Hawaii are given
big boosts, and it adds much to the
valuable advertising which is being
given for the Islands.
The party arrives here March "a and
leaves in the afternoon for Hilo on the
Mauna Kea, which makes special trip
to the Big Island. The party will be
taken from Hilo to the volcano at once,
and on the Monday following the party
arrives again in Honolulu.
Mr.. Dunning states in his circular
that he has arranged with the Oceanic
company to have the departure of the
Sierra delayed on Wednesday, March
%, from ten in the morning, the usual
hour Of sailing, until five in the after
noon.
The rates are given at $500 each for
two persons in the bridal suite of the
Sierra, the rates scaling down for
promenade and upper deck rooms. In
cluded in the rate lie passage to and
from the Islands, the trip to Hilo and
the volcano, excursions about Honolulu,
hotel expenses here. The company even
includes o steamer chair on the Sierra
without extra cost. Here are Mr. Dun
ning's reasons for people of means to
take the winter trip to Honolulu:
"The winter is q busy time. The
merchant finds the Christmas season the
busiest of the year, and often, follows
it with the annual stocktaking. The
banker and, fnancier does his hardest
work between September and March.
So also che professional man, the clergy
pIaHJ physician, dentist ~ all consider
the winter the time of, maximum work.
And the world of society brings a
strenuous season to a close at the com
ing of Bent. After work we need rest.
And what rest is more complete or more
than a voyage on a modern
floating palace on summer seas, with a
visit to our beautiful and interesting
Islands Of Hawaii, and withal visit
toi one Of natures greatest wonders,
Kilauea, the greatest active volcano in
the worlds This trip can be made in
eighteen days from San 5Francisco--six
days Of quiet on the outward voyage,
six days of enjoyment. in, the islands,
with mental rest from the complete
change, from your usual Occupations,
then six days more Of ocean rest On the
homeward Voyage. Ought you mot to
take this tripH Will it not repay you
in regained health and vigor7, Will not
the physical and mental rest, and yet
more the pleasure of the tour and the
enlarged mental horizon, repay you9
