Called upon by the chairman, Ulys-
ses s. Grant of San Diego, son of the
late president, made brief speech.
In which he thanked the Ad Club for
the reception given him, and praised
Honolulu.
President Harrington, when he clos
ed, said that it was fitting that at a
farewell to Gen. Carter, Mr.. Grant
should be one Of the honored guests.
Gen. Garter soon retires after A.
years service" Mr.. Harrington said,
which began when his commission
was signed by Gen. U. s. Grant.
Gen. Carriers announcement that
1900 more regulars are to be brought
to Oahu, will give the island about
q, 900 troops, for a fortnight ago he
announced that the troops now here
numbered trifle more than $500 men.
Before General Carriers address was
delivered Mr.. Harrington introduced a
new song, the chorus of which was
edidy al didy d. and the verses of
which were all the same. It made a
hit. He introduced Raymond Teal,
who sang two parodies, one of them
dealing with local conditions, and
bringing loud applause. Teal said he
was preparing booster song for Ho-
nolulu which was going TO be popular.
Miss Hazel Lake OF the Teal COM
pany sang coon" song, and was
given q hearty encore.
First Vacation in 20 Years.
President Harrington was called on
at the close of the luncheon and
talked to the members in an informal
way of his trip to the. mainland. He
said il was his first vacation in 20,
years, and he had enjoyed every min
ute of It.
Nothing was more pleasant" the
speaker said, than my visits to the
San Francisco and Los Angeles AID
Clubs. At the former met Mr.. Hons
ton, president of the Associated AID
Clubs of the World, and he told me,
speaking Of the effort of ad clubs to
make truth, fair dealing and honesty

of advertising, that a representative Of
President Wilson, sent to the AID Club
Convention at Chicago, said to him,

booster. They boost so much down
there that when was called upon to
make speech and devoted it to prais-
ing Honolulu, the members of the club
applauded me at length, and fell in
line boosting for Honolulu themselves.
Boosting is habit in Southern Cali
fornia.
IF Honolulu people would boost for
this town SO per cent as much as they
boost in Southern California, this city
would soon be the greatest tourist cen
ter of the world
c6s.tf - Lacking Here.
aMalliSShing that struck me above
during my trip on the main
land was courtesy; courtesy, and SER
vice. The railroads, steamships, the
street cars and all other corporations
give service and courtesy. And I
think that sometimes it is lacking
here There are too many young men,,
and old men, too, for that matter, in
the islands, who would shoulder their
way through, as it were. Courtesy
and service are demanded now, and
must be given. If this is applied to
the tourists who come on the Great
Northern; if they get courtesy and
service from the time they stop at
Hilo until they leave here for the
mainland, it will do a great deal to
bring more tourists here
A resolution expressing regret at
the departure of General Carter was
read by Raymond G. Brown and adopt
ed. The resolution follows:
Farewell Resolution.
"Inasmuch as Gen. William H. Car
ter, who has spent several years in
our midst during which he has en-
deared himself to each and every citi.
zen by reason of his amiable clarac.
ter and his willingness to be of use,
and to assist in any way to advance
the interests of the community, is
about to leave and to be retired
from active service in the army of
the United States, and take up his
residence elsewhere:
BE it resolved, by the members of
the Honolulu AID Club that we regret
exceedingly to lose General Carter.
His presence and his advice and conn
sci will be missed when matters of i'm
portance come before us, but what is
our loss will be some other city's
gain: IL. --...-. 10 49, ~ ....
Now, therefore, be it further re-
solved, that we express to General
Carter our very best wishes and con-
yey to him the hope that when he
reaches his new home. wherever it
may be, he may find friends as MANY
and as warm as he is leaving behind
in Honolulu and in the Ad Club"
