Success

The Merchants Association of Hoo
nolulu certainly spared no pains to
make the ball at the Young Hotel
last evening. In honor Of the chief
petty officers Of the Pacific fleet,
great success. Every little detail
had been thought OF. with the re-
suit that there was no hitch. Both
pavilions were requisitioned. SO that
the floors were not too crowdedo
muaic was enchanting and everyone
had the time of their lives.
Amongst the distinguished guests
and cnlookers were Rear Admiral Sc
hree, who personally thanked the
'ui!ous members OF the Merchants
Association entertainment committee
FOR their blindness in providing en-
tertalnment for his officers and men;

Il was early dawn when the last
stratus OF Home, Sweet Home
iloated over the sleeping city. Even
thea the dancers seemed reluctant to
leate this scene OF festivity. From
very conservative estimate there
must have been ~ least 1000 per-
! cas- present. 1, ing 100 chief
petty officers f.om 'ne Pacific ilect.
Through tie ccur esy OF Rear-Ad-
mira Seoiee. both partitions had
been prcruscy decorated with bunt-
Ing from the Marylrndl and Colo
ialo, Nine blu~ia:setsi had been
detai.ed Tor this work, and so adroit
were they that long before the tinc
appointed for the commcntc,ncnt Of
tau ball. the pn iillons had been c5nt
ye.'ed into veritable howert. Grace
fu, palms weie used 10 great effect
in sau;if ia these :coms, vari-col-
oreA eiectiic lights II up the Scene
Of fnsiiyl'y. ara with the search
Light Of thc warships playing upon
the Sill Surrounding country, the Young
Hotel lock on a gaib Of beauty that
has Sc dom II ever been equaled.
n. CHEF petty officers wore white
un....ms, which were in pleasing
contrast to the pretty gowns worn
BY the fair se1. The army was well
represented, ana with the large con-
tingent OF civilians in full dress. IIo-
nolulu society was we'll represented.
No pains had been spared by the
entertainment committee to make
this ball one Of the successes of the
season. Refreshment booths were
conveniently placed and screened
with shrubbery; ample seating ac-
commodation had been provided, so
that couples wishing to sit out"
could do so in comfort and privacy.
The floor management was in the
hands of Ed. Towse. and 1t WIS due
In part to his untirirg efforts that
the long program was so successfully
carried through Plans have been
completed for entertaining the petty
officers ard men Of the Pacific fleet
at tho Moana and Seaside hotels
next Saturday, and all are looking
forward to giving Uncle Sans rep
resentaiives u splendid time.
