SOUTH DAKOTA'S men Will GIVE
PARTINGDANCE IN ARMORY TONIGHT

: "Ahoy, MATES; tOnight's the night"
squawked the parrot which resides at
King and Alakea streets this morning
as a group of sailors from the cruiser
South Dakota strolled by. The warn
ing was a timely one. evidently, for
the man-o'-warsmen departed imme-
diately for the cruiser, there they
spent the rest of the day cleaning uni
forms and hats and shining shoes.
Tonight is "the big night" for the
men of the South Dakota, and a night
which is not going to be soon forgotten
by Honolulu residents who are lovers
of the dance The National Guard
Armory will be the scene of the fes-
tivities, and the members of the Ess
Dee Social Club, composed of 100 men
of the South Dakota, will be the hosts.
The dance in the armory will be in
the nature of a farewell as it is ex.
pected that the cruiser will sail for
the mainland Friday. 1t was reported
this morning that the committee in
charge of the arrangements for the af-
fair has completed its work and, in the
nautical vernacular, everything is
cleared for acton. ~ Hundreds of in
vitations have been issued, and it is
expected that record crowd will be
in attendance. Refreshments will be
served during the evening. and that
good time is assured those who attend
goes without saying.
The grand march will commence
promptly at s o'clock, and it is ex-
pected that Captain ". W. Gilmer,
commanding the South Dakota, will
lead; at least, he has been asked. All
the officers on tie cruiser have been
invited and these, with the bluejack-
cts, will insure pretty display of uni
forms. The affair will be strictly in
Vitational, and no gentlemen. other
than those in the uniform of the gov
eminent service, will be admitted
without ladies'.
The Ess Dee Club has been in exis-
tence four years and has given sue.
cessful dances in each port which the
cruiser has visited. = The officers of
the club are Edward B. McOrmond,
president; Logan E Ruggles, vice
and Oscar E. .Dannegger.
