at once; but the b. >. A. appear 10
be doing seventeen-that is, they ap-
lpeared so an Kamehameha Day, with
their policing and their drilling and
their good turns done all over town.
It was a great day and full Of action,
but the gentle crowd assembled to
talk over and sing over the Conqueror
OF the Islands, really didn't need any
police to keep them In order. Even
the horses Of the pau riders seemed
willing TO listen to speeches, for they
stood at attention on the edge OF
the crowd.
II was good to find the movie man
ready 70 catch the Honolulu scouts
in action, and especially 70 get them
III drill; so, with the picture taken
at the Seaside on Tuesday OF last
week together with those of Monday
we ought to get fairly representa-
tive film. Il will be released In the
states first, and In January will be
shown down here, ..-~. = H.
Burton Holmes has evidently heard
about Troop ~, because Matheson

machine grinder. These scouts tried
making fire without matches, Harris

and Curry did not get into the movies,
bnt had number Of still pictures
taken.
Il IS too bad that the Old Planta<
ton affair was not more OF success,
Tor surely the scouts tried TO be silly
and to make people laugh, anyhow.
We mean the innps, Of course.
Last Sunday was busy day for
Troop ", the scouts acting as ushers
It the Hawaiian service Of KaWaia-
hao church. They are always glad to-
reply TO any request Of Edgar Hem
fioues, ESQ, as the church has been
most generous with them regarding
their scout house.
An Of which reminds us, BY the
nay. that Troop v Il particularly well
equipped over there In its c0mmodious
home. One opens long boxes and dis
covers wonderful paraphernalia dear
81 the hearts Of boys--bats and balls,
boxing gloves, practise rifles. etc, and
one wonders who pays Tor al
these things. Then Il occurs to
|sx memory that the Queens Own has
worked hard and has given entertain
course II has treasury.
Pegasus, that wonderful winged
horse who once enjoyed himself By
Tying down to earth and merely
touching the grass with his hoofs, and
bouncing lightly on the tops Of trees
and bushes Pegasus would smile 70
tts the horses that Troop v Is riding
Tor they have no freedom. But wheels
are pretty good substitute when II
comes to keeping warm, and wheels
"a rollers, when 8 fellow tries to get
away and can't-these are even more
txcffing. Mr. Barry has meters at
Iached. SO the boys may race, and
surely no horse ever came under the
wire With greater momentum than
these sfeeds acquire.
The ether night Troop Y did some
extra drilling with slaves for the benz
att or guests, and Il certainly was a.

Troop Y Is sorry TO discharge any
ID its members, even honorably, but

Mr.. John r. Ness Of the Advertiser
has taken hold or Troop III and is
anxious for more boys TO meet at the

Al the meeting Of Troop XVIII the
scoutmaster told the boys some Of
their bad points. That set them to
thinking. Then the assistant scout
master drilled the young gentlemen
cor about an hour. They all went
down and visited their garden, so
hat the boys might know the location
81 II. After that, plans we're formed
regarding the work to be done and
what the scouts should carry with
them.
Edward Carter. the young scribe Of
the troop, deserves special mention
