TOUR Of AO. CLUB
AND KAUAI FLOAT

President Rohrig, of the Kauai
Chamber of Commerce; Directors
L. Nahum, J. H. Coney and <.
H, Wilcox, and Rev. J. NJ. Lvd-
gate had long meeting in Mr..
Rohrig's Office at 10 o'clock this
morning to act upon the important
matters of formally inviting the
Honolulu Ad. Club to visit Kauai,
and preparing a float for the Mid
Pacific Carnival.
There was considerable discus
sion on both subjects, at the con-
clusion of which it was decided.
TO extend the invitation to the
Ad. Club, leaving the time to the
discretion of the visitors, request
ing however, that ample and de-
finite notice be given in regard to
dates in order that proper prepara-
tions may be made.
In regard to the float, the Spout
ing Horn idea was favored. A
design submitted bv Stanley Ste
venson was regarded as very pretty,
but it did not, to the minds of the
directorate, hit the mark of illus
tiating a distinctively Kauai sub
ject.
These conclusions will be sub.
mitted to the directors who were
not present at the meeting, and up
on receipt of their sanction will be
transmitted to the proper parties
inHonolulu.
The gentlemen present were ap-
pointed a committee to Irocure
funds for the float, and for the ex-
penses of the Kauai princess. They
will begin work at once.

very large attendance. All other
sports for the day from Kapaa to

1t may be repeated that h c
scene OF the flights will be on the
flat top of h e Panau plateau
about a mile on the Waime side OF
Koloa. This is an ideal spoat, for
the reason that if the high wind
should prevent flights above the
plateau, the valley by its side will
afford ample room and will be in
full view of the spectators. En-
trance will be through big gate
at the main road. 4 special rate
of IS cents has been made for

hope for a large attendance OF

GERMANS DEFEAT
THE MAKAWEL|S

Sunday was all off-day for the
doughty Makaweli football team
on the Lihue field, the visitors
getting the worst drubbing of the
season from the Germans. At the
end Of the game the score stood 3
to /, in favor of the locals, and a
preponderce of points was on the
side of the Lihue team.
1t was a case of superb team
work against very indifferent team
work. Many excellent individual
plays were made on both sides; but
when team playing was so impor-
tant (and that was most of the
tlme,) the Makawelis showed up
in exceedingly rickety form. The
Germans, OH the other hand, put
up what was probably the best
game of the season. Individually
and collectively, they played the
game like veterans, and came in
for a great deal of applause from
the audience.
There will not be a game next
Sunday, on account of the aviation
meet near Koloa; but playing will
be resumed a week later.
The standing of the teams is
now as follows:
