Talks in Baltimore
From Atlantic City Doctor Hand
went to Baltimore. Hand is a member
| of the Holland Society and there hap
| pened to be two other visiting mem

Hawaiian progress.

the United States invaded Boston
| From there he took run up to Prov
| idence. Then he went through the Mar
ragansett machine works where they
make everything from a rubber but
ton to a tennis racquet. They turn
out all kinds of gymnasium supplies
there, he said, and the physical director
made some choice selections for the
new Y. NJ. c. A. gym. This concern
was so busy that they We're six months
behind with their orders.
When he came out of the railroad
station there he dropped into an en-
! cheering supply house just across the
! street from the depot to get his bear
| ings and the first one he saw was
! Arnold, an old Punahou man. He was
! looking fine and doing well, Hand
said, and treated hims royalty, taking
! him through Brown University and
Introducing him around.
i Hand next took one of the palatia
Fall River line steamers back to New
York He went down to Coney IslanC
and took in all the sights.
The surf there he found better fo
board riding than at Atlantic City, bu
it was not high enough to amount t.
anything. At Sea Gate, which is thu
lower end of Coney Island, however
he found conditions just right for thu
sport and there he nailed couple o.
boards together and tried a few stunts
The Hawaiians at Atlantic City, h'
said. would not 90 into the water be
cause it was so cold there to wha
they had been accustomed to down
here.
