i FORT SKATER, July IS. - The
] Post Exchange Council has approved
!, the plan of Lieutenant Jackson, who
takes charge OF the Exchange on Aug
! ust first, to establish a branch of the
/ Exchange near the car line station on
the reservation This addition to the
facilities to the enlisted patrons as it
viii be directly on the line to and
from Honolulu, and VIII cater parti,
culariy 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 Leayenworth and it is hoped
that an attractive building will be
constructed such as the above-named
i garrisons have provided and not a
I mere shack or .'tienda" of the Philip,
pine Island type of such conyeniences.
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 LIE Iliil 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 RugeT The present cost
OF laundry to the individual enlisted
man will be greatly reduced as it is
proposed to make 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 its establishment and, in addition,
considerable profit is produced each
month even at the low charge in ex-
istence fol. the work. The same re-
suits are anticipated at this station.

The Schefeld 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 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 we're as follows
Col Campbell beat Lieut. Wells 6
up; Captain Lincoln beat Captain
Martin A up; Lieut.. Turner won over
DR.. Matthews by Is up; Major Smith
beat Lieut. Snow by 6 up; Captain
Hinkle downed Captain Mount by
up, and Captain Watkins lost to Lieut.
Weals by 6 down.
A return match to be played on
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
ditions by the, Schofield players were
largely in evidence; whereas in the
next match Schofeld will be playing
on home grounds

The garrison Eop on Saturday night
was most successful, both in interest
and attendance. Visitors from Homo
lulu both in and out of the service,
we're numerous and enthusiastic and
numbers were also present from Ru-
ger and Schofeld Barracks. Among
the dancers were Captain and Mrs.
Massee, Civil Engineer and Mrs. Cay
Tor OF the navy. Miss Alexander, Miss
f'errier, Captain and Mrs. Clifford
Jones, Miss Hoffman, Mrs. Hepburn,
Miss O'Brien, Mr. and Mrs. Busey
and Miss Busey Of Berkeley, Miss
JTlio and Mr.. Clark, Mr.. Spalding and
Mr. Redington. After the hop Lieut..
and Mrs. L. %. Mathews invited the
major portion of the younger element
to the Mathews quarters for a hop
supper, and postscript Raging par
ty to the music of Victrola.
Captain and Mrs Charles S. Lincoln
also entertained after the dancing
with rarebit supper, for q 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
Kruger, Kamehameha and De Russy
are without rooms that may conyen-
fently be used for hop purposes.

The victory at baseball on Satur-
day of G company over K was some
what of surprise to the garrison,
since with KS past record in the COM
pany games and with kibbey in the
box it was predicted that G company
would go down. White pitched fair
" good game Tor G and that COM
pany's stick work kept their pitcher
out. The record of games for the
regimental championships now stands
