Fort Shofer Notes

EXcQdUSS near the car line bldtiOu Oh
the reservation. This addition TO the
facilities to the enlisted patrons as il
will be directly on the line to and
from Honolulu, and VIII cater part,
cularly to those desiring refresh
ments, cigars or similar small needs.
This plan has proved most profitable
at many of the larger mainland posts
such as the Preside of San Francisco
and Fort Leavenworth and it is hoped
that an attractive building will be
constructed such as the aboye-named
garrisons have provided and not a
mere shack orS..tienda" of the Philip,
pine Island type OF such conveniences.
In addition to the above widening
of the Exchanges features the laun-
dry establishment before referred to
in this column is to be at once install
ed in the r.ce MIL building by the
Exchange officers under the approval
of the post commander. For the pres
ent and until additional capital IS
available, hand methods are to be EN-
ployed under charge of a foreman.
This is the plan in successful opera
ton at Fort Kruger. The present cost
of laundry to the individual enlisted
man will be greatly reduced as it is
proposed to make a fat monthly rate
to each soldier OF $1.35 or, If it prove
practicable, an even lower rate will
obtain. A force of not less than
twelve workmen will be employed at
the beginning to be added to as need
ed. The Fort Ruger management of
the post laundry at that station claim
that the best of sanitary work is done
in it's establishment and, in addition,
considerable profit is produced each
month even at the low charge in ex-
istence for the work. The same re-
suits are Anticipated at this station.

The Scnofield Barracks golfers
were defeated by the players from
Shafter and other Honolulu garrisons
on Saturday The match took place
at the Oahu Country Club instead of
On the Moanalua course as originally
planned The reason for the change
being that the big team match be-
tween the Yale and Harvard men was
on at the latter place. Six officers
on a side made the match, play be-
ing for eighteen holes. Each match
between two players to count point
for the winners team. The final re-
suit was five wins out of the six
matches for the Honolulu officers. In
dividual results were as follows:
Col. Campbell beat Lieut.. Wells s
up; Captain Lincoln beat Captain
Martin up: Lieut.. Turner won over
Dr. Matthews by 13 up: Major Smith
beat Lieut.. Snow, by up; Captain
Hinkle downed Captain Mount by
up, and Captain Watkins lost to Lieut.
Weals by 6 down.
the Schofield Barracks course on next
Saturday afternoon between the same
teams was agreed upon, play to be
for eighteen holes and to begin at
two In the afternoon. A reversal of
the result of last Saturday is quite
possible since unfamiliarity with the
Country Club green's and other con-
ditions by the Schofield players were
largely in evidence; whereas in the
next match Schofield will be playing
on home grounds.

The garrison hop on Saturday night
was most successful, both in interest
and attendance SEisitors from Homo
lulu both in and out of the service,
were numerous and enthusiastic and
numbers were also present from Ru-
ger and Schofield Barracks. Among
Massee, Civil Engineer and Mrs. Gay
lor of the navy, Miss Alexander, Miss
Terrier, Captain and Mrs. Clifford
Jones, Miss HOFFMAN, Mrs. Hepburn,
Miss O'Brien, Mr.. and Mrs. Busey
and Miss Busey of Berkeley. Miss
UIio and Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Spalding and
Mr.. Redington. After the hop Lieut.. |
and Mrs. L. o. Mathews invited the
major portion of the younger element
to the Mathews quarters for a hop
supper, and a postscript Raging par
ty to the music of Victrola
Captain and Mrs. Charles S. Lincoln
also entertained after the dancing
with a rarebit supper, for number of
intimate friends.
The hops. informal in nature, are
rapidly growing most popular and it
is the intention of the Second Infan- !
try to keep UP the interest and make
them serve as the garrison hop" for
the entire circle of army people sta
tened in Honolulu and its immediate |
vicinity. This is possible since Fort
Ruger, Kamehameha and De Russy |
are without rooms that may conven-
iently be used for hop purposes.
