ALUMNI DINNER

Former students of st. Louis
College from all over the Island
gathered at the Tip Top Building
last Friday evening to attend IA
reception and supper in honor of
Brother Henry, the principal of
the college, who was a visitor on
the island last week.
twenty-five former pupils of
the institution were gathered
round the table, Mr.. Weight,
chemist of Kealia plantation, act
ing as toastmaster.
In replying to the toasts offer
ed by the boys, Bro. Henry spoke
of the impressions Kauai had
made on him. He has been in
the islands 30 years, and this was
mis- first visit to Kauai, but it GER
tainly would not be his last. He
said the wonderful natural seen
cry of Kauai was not surpassed
by anything he had ever seen, al
though he had travelled through
out the United States. He told
the boys they should be proud to
live on this beautiful island.
The affair closed with three
cheers, called for by the toast
master, for the Alma Mater.

will be a great credit to Kauai,

The magic touch of an artistic
hand is making Il very evident
showing in the surroundings of
the hospital. A dainty bit of
Japanese garden with the tradi-
tional little lake, and stOnebridge
and dwarf trees, is emerging out
of the red dirt; a hibiscus hedge
sprOuting all along the entrance
avenue; the ubiquitous kikania
has departed from the landscape,
and in place of it there is the
promise of Il restful greensward
of mmienie grass; "a promise
that is places is already realized
in stretches of delightful lawn.

With the Light Fantastic Toe

A most thoroughly enjoyable
affair was the dance on Saturday
evening given by Mildred HOgg in
honor of her college friend and
guest Margaret Andrade.
There were some Is OF 20 cOu.
pies, including most of the young
folks of Lihue and the neighbOr-

and friends brought up together
it was plOst cOngenial and de-
lightful affair.
Good snappy music and deli
ciOus refreshments added much
to the enjoyment of the occasion.

Al the Mahelona

Mr.. and Mrs. Lydgate gave a
lantern exhibition to the Maize
Iona Hospital on Sunday evening.
The slides, which were uncOm-
monty fine, were illustrative of
personal travels in Norway some
years ago, and of life in Hawaii.
There, were a number of Hawaii
ans in the audience who particu-
larry enjoyed the latter, and the
running fire of comment on the
same in cOllOquial Hawaiian.
This was an unexpected favor for
them.

TO TEST BLUE LAW
 IN SUPREME COURT
Constitutional Liberty League to
 Battle for Sunday Baseball

Philadelphia, Nov. 1.--After en- during what they term coercion, in inhalation and persecution under the Blue law of 1794, for 125 years, the act is to be tested in the supreme court of the United States by the people of Philadelphia, who are lden- tified with the Constitutional Liberty league. a chartered organization.
 A game of baseball will be played at ."Thc Danry," in FairmOunt park, on Sunday next under the manage mont of Clement H. Congdon, vice president of the Constitutional Liberty league, who will personally take part in the game, although not a ball player.
 The Philadelphia Sabbath assocja- ton, which, for nearly d century, has been prosecuting small traders and minor offenders under the act of l794 will cause the arrest of MT. COngdon, who will appeal the case from court to court until it is finally decided by the supreme court.
 Leading clergymen, famous physl- clans and all manner of highly re- spected citizens are favorable to free Sunday baseball in Fairmount park. The missioners permit the games but all are played under the fear Of arrest and severe penalties imposed by the Blue laws.
 MT. Congdon is an American who demands liberty within the law for all men. He is the owner ot 8 large stock farm and is amply able to car- ry the test case up with competent counsel. Under a strict interpreta- ton of the act of 1794 no industry or public utility could function in Penn sylvania on Sunday. The final deCi- sion in this test case is, therefore, 8 matter of tremendous importance to all engaged in inter- state commerce.

 AT THE 2OTtI HOLE
Nassau Golf Champion Has Hard Time on Cherry Valley Links

New York, Nov. 1.-Metropolita golfers, who are hocking this week to Cherry Valley, out in Garden City, 70 pay their respects to the passin@ season and who do not care whether they are in the championship flight or in the third beaten eight, so long as they play golf, had beautiful day yesterday. They were amply repaid by weather and turf conditions for the rain and wind which marred the qualifying day, and the results were golf matches above the ordinary.
 All Of the favorites trotted arounl the first and second rounds, clearing the obstacles handily, and today the arrangements were set for the semi final round this morning and the final tussle after lunchi
 sam J. Graham, of Greenwich, the medalist, won both of his matches by , and i, first from Don M. Parker, of the Garden City Golf club, and later from w. R. Nicholson, of WykagyI. Today he found himself matched against W. w. Pell, of the home club, in the upper half of the semi-final bracket. Pell yesterday had easy enough sailing in the first round and won rom |. It L6dkS, Ol the Garden City Golf club, by 3 and l. but later was extended to the 19-hole distance to win from G. E. Morse of Pine Valley.
 In the lower half, Gardiner w. White continues as the big favorite. The young Nassau chan pion is inVari- ably a favorite with the gallery, and during this present three-day tourna- ment he has the good wishes of many who want to see hi mround out his most successful and busiest golfing season with a victory in the event which closes the metropolitan year. White yesterday m orning was worried by the strength of his young Prince- ton rival, J. Simpson Dean but, after trailing, he finally squared the match on the home hole and carried it to the goth green before he eliminate1 the Tiger giant. In the second round, White won more easily from A. Cal der of the home links, the 1917 champion of the Crescent A. C., by 4 and 3.

HARVARD REC ATTA,
Crimson Freshmen Row Dead Heat
 on Charles River.

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 1.-There were only two races rowed on the Charles yesterday to finish Harvard's regatta, but the windup was thrilling enough. There was a fine race for the three varsity eights over nearly two miles, the boats keeping together all the way. The freshman race resulted in a dead heat between the eights from Gore and Standish Halls.
 In the varsity race the second crew shot off from the mark first but was unable to hold out against Crew "A" which, rowing in fine form. came up to ovens and then managed to keep just ahead and to win by a quarter of a length.
 The Smith Hall shell was out of the freshman race because of an acci- dent not the fault of the oarsmen, and therefore all three of the fresh man eights will get together again on Tuesday to decide the dormitory championship.

GRAPPLERS ARE READY.
Lewis and Stechcr All Set for Monday
 Nights Match in New York.

New York, Nov. Joe Stecher is pronounced ready and fit to defend his wrestling title Monday night at the Garden from Ed (Strangler) Lewis. For years Stecher has encir- cIed many ambitious rivals with his powerful legs, and slowly but surely reduced them to a state of helpless ness. Lewis is known for the tre- mendous power, his arms contain. His reputation was built up on the mar vicious grip he developed, better known as the "headlock." This hold is obtained by his grasping rivals head and, through pressure, forcing his opponent to either acknowledge defeat or succumb.
 Under the conditions of the match, which will start at o'clock, a fall must be secured to decide the contest. George Bothner will referee.

FAyORS BOXING CODE.

New York, Nov. 1.-Su3gcstion comes from England that the three chief principal countries in which the sport of boxing is practiced-America, Great Britain and France-shou!I adopt an international code of rules and a standard scale of weights. It is contended that such a code and standard would obviate many abuses that occasionally creep into the sport and give it's enemies something to talk about. British critics contend that there is altogether too much fouling in the ring, and they also de- plore the attitude of fight crowds that consistently clamor for rough work and care nothing for the scientific aspects of boxing.
