with the moral backing Of the Ha
waii promotion committee the st. |
Louis College baseball team will start
on its mainland tour next spring and |
every effort will be made to have the
tour give Hawaii a fun share of ad-
vertising. In addition to the general
interest that may be taken in this
Island ball team, with its Hawaiian
flags and banners, fun line of promo
ton literature viii be carried along,
and possibly Mrs. Frances King Head
lee, the committee Is representative in
Southern California, win be detailed to
accompany the team and give lectures
on Hawaii in whatever cities it plays
ball.
At yesterdays meeting of the pro-
motion committee, Chairman Bush and
Secretary Wood gave an outline of the
present plans Of the st. Louis College
team, as proposed, by Member w. H.
| McInerny, and it was shown that the
team would be no expense whatever to
the promotion committee, as it is pro-
posed to pay its own way. The promo
/ ton committee members felt that it
would be splendid opportunity to bring
| Hawaii to the fore on the tour
The ball team will be composed only
of the stars of the college and win be
an aggregation which will have win
ming streak, SO its friends hope. The
tour will commence in March or April
of the coming year.

w. J, Coonley, head of The Advertiser
art staff, was approved and 10000 cards

attractive design, and the printed mat
ter on the opposite side will tell of the
wonders to be seen in the crater and
how to get to the brink by steamer,
rail, auto, horseback and on foot.

ceipt of designs for the 1912 Floral

Good Tourist Season.
Secretary Wood in his weekly letter,
states that though during July, August
and September of each year there is
but little travel, as a rule, this year is
proving to be an exception and the out
look warrants the belief that present
conditions viii continue.
The secretary quotes from the letter
of visitor, who states that this year
he visited Cuba, Nassau, etc., but 'no
! place, in my opinion, can equal dear
Honolulu. ,,
Wanted to Return.
Dr. Clara Barrus, who accompanied
the naturalist, John Burroughs, on his
trip to Hawaii, writes from Roxbury,
New York, in part as follows:
eat one time last year l thought /
had it all arranged so that party of
six of us were going to Hawaii for the
winter. Five of us were more than
willing, but the caprice of one person
(who, unfortunately, had it in her
power to put quietus on the whole
delightful plan), cheated us all out of
the trip and we dawdled around in Cal
: ifornia when those blessed isles lay
. smiling out there in the Pacific and
Z beckOning MS with their alluring
charms. I haven t recovered from the
disappointment yet.
"The beauty and charm of your
! Islands and the warm-hearted hospital
, ity of the people win always be among
/ my most delightful reeolleetions. The
sombre grandeur and awfulness of great
Haleakala-- our unique journey to its
! summit and the unfOrgettable vision
, of the sunset and the night we spent
there and the glorious sunrise, together
with the marvellous and fascinating
= spectacle of Kilauea-these will 90 with
