GIVELUNCHEON

Owing to the absence of Percy Hunt
er, delegate to the Pan-Pacific Travel
Congress, on Hawaii, in company with
Alexander Hume Ford of this city, it
is believed impractcabe to accept the
courtesy extended the congress by
President Asano, who suggests giving
a luncheon on board the Togo Kisen
Kaisha liner Chiyo Maru at o'clock
Friday afternoon.
A wireless was received at the agency
of Castle e. Cooke this morning from
Captain Greene of the Japanese steam
er, signifying the plans of President
Asano.
Castle & Cooke have been informed
by H. p. Wood, secretary of the Ha-
Waii Promotion Committee, that the
delegates are now absent.
The courtesy which President Asano
has extended will be greatly appreci-
ated, not only by the delegates of the
PAN Pacific Travel Congress, but also
by the local organizations in Honolulu
connected with promotion.

Maripcsa Will Steam Without Yards.
No longer will wide spreading and
graceful yards adorn the masts of the
Oceanic steamship Mariposa. This
vessel which not many years ago was
a regular visitor to Honolulu while
in the San Francisco trade has been
bringing cheer to Tahitians since she
was transferred from the Hawaiian
run. When the vessel sailed from
the California port on her last voy-
age to Tahiti she was for the first
time in her career without yards
which were removed from the fore
mast
The Asia and the China, the two
small steamers of the Pacific Mail
fleet, dispensed with their yards re-
Gently and their removal from the
Mariposa marks the passing of the
old era in steamers plying from this
port. She was the last of these
steamers 10 carry such auxilar.es.
