Win Game From
Business Mems Team
Exciting VOlley Ball Contest at Gym.
Followed by Dance. - Ventilation
of Gymnasium to be Improved.

In spite of the unpleasant evening
on Wednesday about forty people
turned out to witness the champion
ship series of volley ball games play
ed between the Senior Boys and the
Business Men in the Alexander House
Gymnasium. The Senior Boys won,
carrying off three out of five games.
The scores were as follows: Boys
81, Men 10; Men 21, Boys II; Boys
81, Men Is; Men 21, Boys IA; Boys
21, Men 10. The last game of the
series was particularly exciting. The
Boys had gotten a strong lead but
the men succeeded in tying the score
on the 10th point. After the game the
floor was made ready for the dance,
the music of which was furnished by
the Gymnasium orchestra under the
direction of Miss Mary Hoffman
The girls of the Hamakuapoko High
School have challenged the girls of
the Gymnasium to a basket ball game
for Saturday evening, November Goth,
This game will be followed by a
dance.
Various experiments are being made
in the Gymnasium to improve the
ventilation. AS soon as some salts
factory way has been determined,
steps will be taken to remedy this
important question. Those interest
ed in the work of the Gymnasium feel
that the time has come to make such
improvements. The increase in the
number of people using the Gymna-
stun and the fact that pure air is es-
sential to effectiveness in work Of
this kind has led those who are re-
sponsible to consider making altera-
tions.
A very pleasant party was held
at the Alexander House on Saturday

Big Celebration of
Japanese Coronation
Two to Four Day Holiday All Over
Territory. Parades, Games and
Ceremonial Gatherings Included.

Since Wednesday, the day of the
coronation of the Japanese emperor,
the Japanese of all Hawaii have been
celebrating the event and as a result
labor on most of the plantations is
almost at a standstill. On the Puu-
meme and Paia plantations Wednes-
day and Thursday were taken as full
holidays, while at Wailuku the Japa-
nese are taking Friday and Satur-
day off Everywhere a great amount
of quiet enthusiasm is in evidence.
Besides much private entertaining
sports and parades and other cere-
monials have marked the joyous oc-
casion.
At Hamakuapoko and Paia there
were wrestling matches and a num-
Der of parades, but they were more
or less interfered with by the rain.
Yesterday morning the Japanese of
Kahului had an elaborate parade in
fancy costume, with automobile and
wagon floats and street dancing. The
procession came up to Wailuku and
attracted much attention on Market
street and other sections of the town
where it passed.
A very large crowd of the Japa-
nese of this part of the island assemb-
led at the base ball park this morning
where the ceremonial salute was
made to the newly-crowned monarch,
the entire multitude facing towards
the west and making a solemn and
profound obeisance. Later variety
of sports took place, all typically Japa.
nese, including wrestling matches in
which local experts tried their
prowess against one another. This
evening the big feature is to be a
lantern parade. There is to be geisha
dancing on Market street, and later
also in the home grounds Of Manager
Penhallow, where the parade will pass
as a mark of respect.
Half a dozen picturesque arches
carrying paper lanterns were erected
across Market street on Wednesday
but the rain virtually destroyed these
and other decorations. Partial repairs
have been made since. 1t is under
stood that large funds have beer
raised in all of the Japanese com
munities for defraying the expenses
of the big demonstration.
In Honolulu, besides the same kind
of celebration as has been in evidence
here, the Japanese consul, H. Arita
entertained with an elaborate dinI
ner, to which the Governor and Other
territorial officials and other digni
taries were invited.

Mrs. Alva C. Hill, for the past two
years a teacher in the Maui public
schools, died shortly before 4 o'clock
last Monday afternoon at the Puu-
meme hospital, after an illness of but lit
tie over week. The cause OF her death
was erysipelas. Starting from aninslg-
nificant pimple on her head, to which
little attention at first was paid, the
infection spread rapidly and the best
of medical skill was unable to check
it. The body was taken to the coast

years in the islands as a teacher,

ing in the Wailuku public school.
Prior to that time she had taught on
the island of Hawaii, and she had also
taught for a short time at Paia.
Teachers Adopted Resolutions.

Mrs. Hill, her fellow teachers in the
Wailuku public school yesterday

in the history of American horticul-
ture is Marshall Pinckney Wilder. lie

90. 1898, "a descendant OF Thomas Will
der l6lS-l66O of Shiplake. England,
who was made freeman in Charleston,
Mass, l64l.
Wilder attended the common schools
and the academy at Ipswich, y. H.,
and at about the age of sixteen chose
farm work in preference to a college
course, later engaging with his father
in mercantile business, serving as
postmaster Of the town in ls21-25 and
as Lieutenant Colonel and Colonel of
the Rindge Light Infantry. which he
was largely influential in organizing.
From 1925 to 1887 he was a whole
sale merchant Of West India goods In
Boston, Mass, making his home in
Dorchester, Mass. after 1892. and II
was here that his active interest in
horticulture began.
Wilder's wonderful activities are
shown by the fact that in 1889 he

HOW TO CONTROL FIRE BLIGHT.

Reports of fruit growers indicate
that fire blight in both apples and
pears In a serious epidemic in tho
fruit growing sections OF the middle
West. The disease has not as yet been
destructive in New York this year,
because of the early dry season which
prevented the germ from oozing from
the follower cankers. Cold, cloudy
weather at the time OF pear blossom
ing suppressed the activities Of the
various insects that carry the blight
germ to the blossoms. The dry
weather induced a hardening Of the
new growth almost as soon as formed,
and in such hardened tissue the blight
germ makes very slow progress. The
recent heavy rains, however, are likely
to bring about rapid growth in well
TILED orchards and there is still
danger of much damage from the
blight.
a representative OF the New York
State College of Agriculture at Cor
nell recently visited many orchards in
the State and reports only a small
amount of blight. He therefore urges
the fruit growers of the State to make
"A united and persistent effort to eradl-
cate blight from their orchards while
1t is comparatively a simple PROPOSE
ton.
Method of Control.
The orchards should be inspected
twice weekly for traces OF blight. Any
blighted twigs should be cut off at
once, making the Il at least six
inches below any signs OF the diseased
tissue. The pruned stub should be dis
infected with corrosive sublimate So
luton made by dissolving one antisep-
tic tablet, obtainable at any drug store,
in a pint OF water. The solution
should be carried in a glass c%ontainer
and the wounds swabbed literally with
II.
The bi-weekly inspections should be
started at ono and continued until
the wood becomes hard again. 1t
would also be a great advantage to
SOW the cover crop in pear ana young
apple orchards now. as this crop will
