Takes Sprin Around City. 1
After the consular reception, and be- |
fore the reception which is to be CIV
en- by Governor Frear at his home
this afternoon, Secretary Knox had a
reathing spell during which he was
taken for a short spin about the city |
and immediate vicinity. Secretary and
Mrs. Knox, Gov and Mrs. Frear, Sec |
rotary and Mrs. Mott-Smith and Mrs.
B. F. Dillingham; went motoring up |
Nuuanu and towards Moanalua, re-
turning to the Moana in time tor an /
informal lunch with the Governor as
host.
Owing to the fact that the Mary
land is scheduled to leave at o'clock /
tomorrow afternoon, and that Score
tary Knox thinks it unwise to delay |
departure, the trip round the island,
which was originally ON the program,
has been abandoned. A motor trip to
the Pail and other points of interest
adjacent to the city has been substl-
tuted, and it is possible that short
visit will be made to one of the plan
tations.
Secretary Knox. however, is very
anxious to see Oahu, and it was only
with the understanding that the trip
is to be taken on his return visit, that
he consented to give it up.
Admiral Reynolds Here Before.
Rear Admiral Reynolds, who is the
naval representative of the United
States to the late Mikado's funeral,
sees Httlolulu for the first time in ten
years, and notes many changes and
81 came here first 80 years ago,
said the admiral this morning.
Things were very different then, as
;ou can we'll imagine. Everybody rode
horseback, and there were few car &
'iages, and of course no autos. was
