THOUSANDS Of HAPPY PEOPLE
THRONG KAUAYS PLEASURE SPOTS
To CELEBRATE INDEPENDENCE

from Hanamaulu, Kapaia and Ii
hue, to the number of five hundred,
each bearing a lighted Japanese
lantern, met at the Lihue Store
corner, approaching from each
direction, forming a double line,
a IL d W t h banners, bearing
patriotic inscriptions, American
flags flying and to the music OF a
japanese fife IN d drum corps,
marched down main street and in
to the park. A line was formed,
encircling the entire park, and as
hundreds of little voices rang out
on the night air in an attempt to
render homage to Uncle Sam, in
patriotic airs, red skyrockets made
their escape heavenward, where
they burst forth in all their dazzling
beauty sending showers of patriotic
sparks to Il { winds. Loud and
prolonged applauds followed, after
which the great line of march was
resumed, the lights in the distant
darkness now bobbing up an d
down and again swinging in circles
overhead in unison wi t h lusty
: banzais." AS the fireworks con
tinued, special drills were execu-
ted, ending i'll formation fronting
the spectators, where America"
was rendered bv chorus of five
hundred voices, a f ter which.
amidst deafening applause the Ha-
namaulu and kapaia line marched
out the front entrance to the park
and the Lihue, out at the side en-.
trance. Thus terminated what is
conceded by all to have been the
greatest celebration of our Inde-
pendence Day ever held in Lihue.
This, however, did not quite sat
isfyevcrybOdy, as you'll learn, for,
At The Kegel Club
Hon. ID. P. R. Isenberg, who is
making avisit to his Kauai friends
preparatory to business trip to
the coast, had invited the Kegel
members to a sure 'nough" feast.
The Hon. Paul has a reputation as
a host which is too widely known
to refuse invitations to become his
guest, so as a result, thirty or
more were counted there" after
the fireworks at the park.
Paul, as the boys are wont to
term him, is not only a King of
entertainers, but he showed h i s
prowess as a bowler by entering
right into the gane--as a coach
in which capacity h e proved a
winner by big odds.
AT ten o'clock, President VOL
ters, called the members to order
and in the following we'll chosen
remarks said
