GIVEN TOMORROW

| When the harbor commission meets
tomorrow morning definite decision
on C. G.. Bockus' request for permits.
sion to construct an amusement pieI
at Waikiki beach will be announced
The special committee, consisting o,
+. NJ Church, chairman; E. E. Dodge
and James Wakefield, has been holding
sessions almost every day the lasl
week, even devoting a large part of
Sunday to careful consideration OF
the proposal.
Chairman C. r. Forbes of the com.
mission said today that he, will ask
the committee for definite recon
mendation tomorrow evening. Chair,
man Church is on Maui today, hence.
the committee could not arrive at q
conclusion, but he will return tomor
row morning and the committee will
get into conference before the com,
missions session at $50 O'Clock and
at the earlier conference the commit.
tees report will be determined Mel
tlIer Wakefield nor BODICE was willing
TO say whether the committee is IN.
-elined to favor Bockus' request.
There appears practically no opposi
ton to the proposal that an amuse
ment pier be allowed somewhere neal
Honolulu The objection is that of
location. many believing it should not
be established on the beach between
the Castle home and the Seaside no
tel. This stretch of sea frontage in
ciudes the site in the vicinity Of the
Moana hotel and the outrigger Club.

Mr.. Taylor spoke but briefly OF the
work Of the San Francisco office OF
which he recently has been in charge.
One of the most intangible endeay-
Ors is the rist-getting business, he
continued. You cant put a finger
here and a thumb there and say that
these are the results. You have got to
employ both literature and word OF
mouth to get the travel
Il believe that the work OF the San
Francisco office of the Promotion Com
mittee has been worth while. The Of
flee was useful in a dozen different
ways: acting as an Information bu-
reau. setting business houses straight
in various matters pertaining TO the
islands, and assisting the steamship
end railroad companies.
Il believe that the office has done
a vast amount of good, and | further
believe that. if the Promotion Commit
tee maintains mainland tourist bu-
reau after the exposition, it should be
in Chicago or Los Angeles. The reason
is this: The steamship companies in
San Francisco which operate through
here extend a great deal of informa-
tion regarding the islands TO the per
sons patronizing them. The Matson
Navigation Company's office is
splendid bureau for the islands and
the same is true Of the Pacific Mail
and Oceanic offices. will give them
credit for securing many visitors to.
the islands. While in San Francisco
distributed a large amount of htera-
ture by mail. There was a growing
demand for it. Therefore, a distribut-
ing center further East would be pre-
ferable. believe.
81 believe that in the last IL or Ii
years the Hawaii Promotion Commit
tee has done more toward the adver-
Using OF the entire Pacific region than
any other organization. Today it is
the bait by which the transportation
companies draw their travel to the
Pacific coast. ~..... ....@-
with the cessation Of the war be-
lieve Hawaii, with the new route
through the Panama canal, is destined
to become one of the greatest shipping
points and Fairgrounds of the world"

Most Of the early champions fought
under their own names. however, a
notable exception being Tom Spring,
whose real name was Thomas Win

his own accord. the name OF "Spring"

II was demonstrated during the re-

The exposition meet was marked by
racing for some of the richest purses
in the history of the harness game.
Two horses which we're the central
figures in the richest events-the S20-
600 irot and $4,000 pace-furnish the
theme for this story.
The $4,000 trot was won by Sprig-

san Francisco horsemen. Spriggan
won $4,000 for his owners when he
led a field Of twelve TO the wire In

OF the numerous permanent tennis
organizations in the city there are
only a few who have not a tennis

According to rought estimate. there
are about 90 courts within the city

who keep courts. while a number of

considerable vim and the pastime
will undoubtedly become one of the
most popular summer sports in this
locality Nearly every court in the

state that there is room for as many
more. Several additional courts are
now being laid out in different sec

During the past three years the
game has risen to such a point of
popularity among Wilmington fol-
lowers that 1t is now foremost in the
line of summer sports. Since tennis
can be played by both sexes. young and
old, it has reached higher standard
of popularity than most any other va
cation exercise.
Viewing the game from all stand

able exercise for the development of
