TENYO MARU CELEBRATED ANTIPODES DAY

The popular Tenyo Maru arrived
this morning from the Orient She
was off port at daylight, but it was
after 8 O'Clock before she was
berthed owing to the number of pas
sengers aboard.
Purser Reid stated that the trip
over was an excellent one. The
weather was five throughout the long
journey, and there was the usual
gaiety to help passengers enjoy them
, selves. On Antipodes Day January
10, a program of miscellaneous events
was begun. On the first day there
were nine events in the afternoon, in
Guiding obstacle race, tug of war, pill
low fight and egg and spoon race. At
night there was an exhibition of Jap
anese wrestling, fencing and jiutitsu.
On Tuesday afternoon there was an
other program of athletic events, in
Guiding hobble skirt race for ladies',
bun-eating contest for men and tug
of war for everybody.
That evening there was a dance,
and on Wednesday the event of the
trip took place, the baseball game of
ladies VS.. gentlemen. The first game
was between the sky rockets and the
Roman candles, and the second game
brought together the gentleman a Ia
mode and the ladies de natural. Who
the winners were no one would say,
but Dr. Crooks is said to have distin-
guished himself, showing the result
of his fine training.
On Wednesday night there was
cinematograph entertainment on the
A deck. The program was enjoyed
by ALL and the officers of the boat
deserve all the credit for it, espe-
cially Purser Reid and Dr. Crooks,
who are always foremost in helping
to entertain the passengers.
The Tenyo Maru brought 367 all
told. There were sixty-three cabin
passengers, seventy-two in the second
and 212 in the steerage, 1872 being
Japanese, eighteen Chinese, thirty
Filipinos, one Russian and one Hindu.
Thirteen of the cabin passengers
were for Honolulu, and the majority
of the steerage passengers were for
here also.

Is Mongolia Held Up?
The telegram published in the AID
