FORT SKATER, July THE
Fourth Of July at Fort Shafter was
very different this year from that OF
previous years, II having been the Gus
tom when a chaplain has been station
should be held on the main parade
ground, but owing TO the absence OF
the chaplain this service was not held
and the fireworks which were usually
the amusement OF the evening were
also omitted. However. this did not
allow the garrison to forget the glo-
rious Fourth and at reyeille the I'd
Infantry band marched around the
parade ground playing national airs.
The morning was spent in different
ways by the men, as all military du-
ties were suspended for the time be-
ing, most of them attending the base
ball game while others were arrang
ing to attend the huge smoker which
was to be given at SChofield Barracks
under the able management OF Chap
lain Fealy. At noon the Union salute
was fired, after which. the band play
ed the Star Spangled Banner. Another
baseball game was played in the aft
ernoon, the results OF both games be-
ing given on the sporting page.
The Fort Shafter theater, under the
efficient management Of Lieut.. George
NJ. Hall0ran, was also the scene OF
patriotic celebration Of the day. Be-
sides the regular show for the evening
pictures of the life Of Washington and
the signing of the Declaration Of In
dependence were shown on the screen.
A number of the national airs were
also sung most enthusiastically by
the entire audience.
Nose of the companies had special
dinners. One of the best was that
arranged by Sgt Hornung, the mess
sergeant Of the Department Hospital,
the menu consisting Of oyster soup,
roast pork. apple sauce, June peas,
creamed potatoes, three kinds Of cake,

were fixed for the patients who were
