the Garden island has there
been SO much enjoyment crowded
into a single days pleasure as was
the experience of tie multitude of
JOY seekers who gathered at the
various centers Of sports last
Thursday. Thousands were OH the
move bright and early, that they
might reach the parks in time to
see the elaborate programs begin.
If any there are, who entertain
doubt as to the Americanization of
Hawaii in SO much as Kauai is CON
cerned, they are lacking in good
judgment.
By one clock, the Lihue Park
had taken on a scene of gaiety;
flags auttered to the breezes from
artistiCallv decorated autos, pretty
maids, wore red, white and blue
dress trimmings, and from the ice
cream stand waved flags of the
leading nations. From the left
corner Of the stand, hoated Old
Glory, ther the colors of the new
Chinese flag stood out upon the
breeze; a magnificent Hawaiian
flag was next flung to the breeze,
accom- anied n the right by a
Japanese flag. From the right cor
ner, tapped an immense German
flag, which seemed to convey to
Old Glory which occupied the OPP
posite corner, we two stand as
protectors of the people, for whom
these flags letween us, wave.
The sports program was begun
at 2 o'clock, the majority of which
were pulled off in front of the
grand stand which was filled to
RUM ng over with spectators.
Mess S. Mascr and Rutch had the
program in charge and they did
their part in the same highly salts
factory manner as in the past.
However, there were divisions
in the program. Miss Brewer, for
inst ,nce, carried out a very pleas
ing program of contests among the
tiny little tots, which included
games most delightful to their little
hearts.
The climax to the affair however,
was the announcement of ice
cream and douShnuts. " Behind a
table forty feet in length, upon
which appeared handsome boquets
of shasta daisies, stood ten of our
popular ladies', daintily attired and
faces wreathed in happy smiles,
with nothing to do but to fill four
thousand cornucopias with ice
cream and to dole out eight hun
dred doug hnuts. Hundreds of chill
dren, and grown-ups with but the
minds of children, swarmed around
this booth and for nearly two
hours, one of the most elaborate
ice cream feasts ever witnessed on
Kauai was participated in by a
throng numbering nearly six hum
dred people. One hundred gallons
of cream, four thousand cornu-
copias and eight hundred dough-
nuts were distributed, which pro-
we'd great suffiCiency for every
man, woman and child on the
ground. Those who so efficiently
attended the booth were Mrs.
Hans. Isenberg, Miss Brewer, Mrs.
Charlie Wilcox, Mrs. Hoge, Mrs.
r. Wilcox, Mrs. Wedemeyer, Miss
Daisy Sheldon, Miss Hannah Shell
don, Mrs. Maser, and Mrs. Thei-
| len.
The cream, dOughnuts and cor
nuCopias were testimonials of the
generosity Of our worthy towns
man, Hon. Geo. w. Wilcox and
Mrs. Hans Isenberg.
Rev. Hans Isenberg, chief direC.
tor of the entire program, had the
happy faculty of appearing every
where at the same time and hi.
personal interest in everything
which went OH, was responsible t.
a great measure for the very sue
cessful event.
