circle to $4,000 The bull's-eye is to
be the mark aimed at-$2O, 900.
So rapidly did the subscriptions
come in that it is now believed that
at least $50. 900 of stock will be SOL.
! The other islands. Hawaii Maui and
Kauai. have not been heard from. and
probably will not be for several GAYS.
They expect to sell a large amount.
On Hawaii, where G. II. Wears is
delegated to sell the stock, the final
results will not be heard until We'd
nesday of Thursday of next week. He
has sent word that as the island is
large, with many persons on it to
subscribe, it will take some time to
get to them all He has also sail
that luncheon il to be given by the
Hilo Board of Trade Tuesday at
which time the stock IS to be sold.
And in Honolulu itself the final
sales will not be in for a day or two.
Several large companies seen this
morning signified their willingness to
buy heavily in the stock with the
sanction Of the board of directors.
Special meetings of such bodies have
been called for tomorrow and the
Eext day. One of the largest SUBJ
scriptions motel this morning came
from the Mefchant3' Association,
which bought $500 of the stock. Castle,
& Cooke gave $3.50 and the Matson
Navigation Company $3.50. Other SUBJ
scriptions, of perhaps equal size. we're
spoken of. and will probably come to
light officially later. "a
When the + memoirs of the 1914
snnual carnival are written. the
bright colors Of the pirates Of the Ad
Club will figure prominently and
pleasantly in, them. They we're there
this morning in all their colors and
with the same impedimenta of battle
as graced their advent on Regatta
Day, the cutlass, the pistol-and the
cask of rum, The little drummer-boy,
John Perry, was back to his piratical
calling, and E. w. P. st. George, all
around gun man, was again to be
seen, loSling, the cannon, or leading
the dangerous crew to the bank to
deposit the gold of the stock sales.
And incidentally it was at the bank
that they had occasion to hold up F.
B. Damon, cashier of the Bank OF
Hawaii, and demand that he "deliv-
err" 1t looked, for time, that they
would ho.'l up the entire personnel of
the bank, and their decision to quit
with the purse of Mr.. Damon was
more in the nature of compromise
than anything else. He took it well.
OF course, there was nothing else to
&C: the pirates are men o blood.
In their company were Jack D. Clea-
ry, J. CRUDE. C. H. w. Norton, John
W. Perry, G. S. Pereira, H. D. Per-
ry, W. F. Trenck, c. F. Jewell, d. d.
Johnston, E. w. P. st. George, Lester
Fishel, and-last but not least - Miss
Fenella Miles, the captive pirate maid,
who is making record of her own in
selling.
Harry Hayward's boy scouts were
on the scene of activity, keeping order
and the like, and also keeping a sharp
eye on the pirates. The scouts were
Victor Boyd, Henry Thompson, Charles
bert Kalama, Phillip Zane, Nelson
Robinson. Vasco Franco. Charles
Akana, Joseph Akana, Tai Kong, Will
Kahanamoku, James Holstein and Ru-
dolph Duncan.
Members of the selling teams we're
given two pages of typewriter direc- !
tons before starting out this morn
ing, and also similar copies were sent
to G. H. Wears, acting for the club on
Hawaii; E.-E. Nahum on Kauai and
w. o. Aiken on Maui. These inStruC-
tons begin with outlining the object !
of the Carnival, its value to the ISL |
ands in bringing tourists here, and !
ends with giving the basis upon which j
stock is sold-the ten per cent to be
paid down in case of assessable stock, !
and the full value of one dollar !
share to be paid on the paid-up stock |
The HiEo news is very encourage
ing said Chairman Atkinson of the I
AID Club committee. There was not !
much time to cover the big island Of |
Hawaii with printed matter. after our
campaign got we'll started, and it isl
certainly very good news that the IIa- |
wall campaign is to wind up at the !
annual dinner of the Hilo board of !
trade. We are anxious to have all the !
islands in the corporation on a big
scale, for the Carnival is for all Ha-
waii and the corporation will be a big /
