LOCAL GOLF LINKS is
BENEFITED BY RAINS

The storm of the last few days
has done wonders for the Wailua
golf course in the way Of improv-
ing the green's All the greens were
planted a short time ago and had
been suffering for the want of wat
er, but with the heavy rainfall are
now improving at a rapid rate.
The clearing of the fairways is
going on at rapid rate and it
will not be long before Kauai will
have one of the sportiest and best
nine hole courses in the territory.
Within short time Jimmy Spald-
ing intends to bring Bell, the pro-
of the Oahu Club, to Kauai to ad-
wise him in regard to bunkers and
traps. With the natural hazards that
the local course offers there will
be very little need for anything in
the artificial line.
Now is the opportunity for every
one on Kauai who is contemplating
taking up golf to do so as most of
the players are beginners and one
does not feel out of place as where
the players are all more experience
ed. Anyone desiring information
about the club may receive the
same by calling James Corstorphine
at the Makee Sugar Co. office or at
209-L after u. m.

MUNICIPAL CHRISTMAS
CELEBRATION AT L1HUE is
ENJOYED BY OVER 80(

The municipal Christmas celebra
tion held in the Lihue armory or
Monday night was a most creditable
alton and practice which have oc
cupied the thought Of the several
committees under the able leader
ship of Mrs. E. S. Swan.
An orchestra composed of Mrs
Bayless, piano; Miss Doyle, and Mr.
Frolic, first violins; Mrs. Water
house and Mr.. Dollinger, second VIC
lins; and DR.. Waterhouse, cello, de-
lighted the audience with their rem
ditions of number of the familiar
Christmas carols.
The seating and standing capaci
ty of the large armory hall were
taxed to the utmost by the folks OF
all nations who came to participate
in the program.
The costumes of the characters
and the appointments and decora
tions of the stage evidenced that a
great deal of time and thought had
been expended in the detailed repro.
duction of the story of the Christ
child.
In reverent attitude and with the
realization that they were partici-
pants in commemorating the most
portentious event in the history of
the world, the friendly crowd took
their several ways home happy in
the knowledge of closer brother
hood made possible through the
birth and life of the Babe of Beth

COL. MENG IS BACK
FROM PALMYRA IS.

Colonel William Meng, formerly of
Kauai who has been a modern Cru
soc on the, Palmyra islands for the
past fourteen morths, returned to
, Honolulu on Wednesday of last week.
He is in fine condition and if there
were few bright lights on the lone
ly islands he would be staying there
yet he says.
Colonel Meng, who is a former vet
teran of the British army, took up
the Palmyra proposition when he left
Kauai nearly yeGr and q half ago.
He organized the Palmyra Copra Co,
and in company with his wife,
and Edwin Benner of Honolulu he
sailed in sampan for the lonely
islands. His wife returned to Homo
lulu about three months ago, but the
Colonel and campanion stayed on.
A few weeks ago the company
bought the largest sam
pan ever built in Honolulu. 1t was
outfitted and sent to the islands to
bring back a load of copra and fish
On the way down the boat had con
siderable trouble. On account of en-
gine trouble it was forced to put in
at the Tanning islands. There it was
held up for some time because it did
not have proper navigation papers. 1t
was finally released, however, and per
mitted to continue on its way.
When the sampan finally arrived
at Palmyra the weather was very
rought. 1t was intended to fill the
boat with the copra that Colonel
Meng and Benner had made. But
the first two days four anchors were
broken in trying to hold the boat
in place. Rather than take further
chances on running the boat, the en-
tire crew and the former Crusoes
returned to Honolulu.
The return trip was made in nine
days. The long trip showed the sail
ors that the engines did not have
enough power for a boat of that
size. Sails were used most of the
time to speed up the boat.
Colonel Meng is as brown and
tanned as a Hawaiian. He is in ex-
cellent physical condition and none
the worse for his experiences. But
he won't say that he intends to re-
turn to his Crusoing right away.

MUSICALE

The wonderful message of Gods
love, in the birth of His Son, was
retold last Sunday morning in the
Lihue Union church, in scripture,
prayer and music. A light grade
sacred cantata had been selected
and was rendered at the morning
hour, instead of the evening, owing
to the inclemency of the weather.
This cantata, "The Cradle OF
Bethlehem" by Irene Berge, open
ed with the prophetic message, in
the form of a baritone solo which
Judge VIM. Achi beautifully pro-
claimed with his, rich and mellow
voice. Mrs. X. C. Ahana announci
ed the arrival of the Three Kings
of the Orient, and Mrs. Henry T.
Sheldon sang, For the Manger OF
Bethlehem Cradles a King" A carol
was then rendered by the choir Rev,
r. w. Bayless gave the recitative
containing the message OF the an
gels to the shepherds. 20 Little
Town of Bethlehem" was then rem
dered by William Stewart and the
nativity story was closed with a Choir
us, Break Forth into Joy and
Sing" The entire text of the can
tata had been secured from the pub
fishers and was freely distributed
throughout the audience, thus max
ing it easier to follow the message
of the occasion,

EVERYTHING READY
FOR BIG RACE MEET

Everything is in readiness for the
big New Years race meet and al
though it appeared for a while that
the track would be in better con-
dition for a regatta than for horse
race, but with the clearing of the
weather. indications are that the
track will be in good condition.
Interest centers around the mile
and a quarter open, which will
bring the old rivals, Bridgeplayer
and Dinner Bell together. These
two horses on racing program are
getting about as inseparable as the
famous combinations, such as Da.
mon and Pythias. ham and eggs
hook and eye, etc. On New Years
they will have an added compan-
ion in Walter Sanborn's Termont.
The Hanalei horse put on a great
battle against Bridgeplayer in the
three-quarter ard plenty of racing
fans claim that if the race had been
an eighth longer Termont would
have won, as he was passing the
Fernandez mare hard at the finish.
The race will be long enough for
Termont to prove if he is the mas.
ter of Bridgeplayer and he will
have the advantage of good consist
ent training this year, something
that was lacking at his last appear
ance.
Termont will also have another
opportunity to lower the colors of
the Fernandez stable when he meets
Bridgeplayer and Gold Bryan in the
mile. If he can beat Bridgeplayer
in both of these races there is no
doubt that he is one of the best
horses in the territory.
The racing fans that are fond of
the dashes, will have a treat in the
three-eighths, which will bring to.
gether such horses as Pegasus, Gold
Bryan, Sky Boy and Golden Spray.
There is very little to choose among
these horses, but Gold Bryan is the
favorite owing to the victory over
Pegasus on Armistice Day.
The Japanese and Portuguese rae,
es are expected to create more ex-
citement and fun than the better
horses. Every Japanese who has a
horse who has done the half in any
thing better than one minute and
twenty seconds has entered him in
the race. 1t would not be surprising
If the race had to be run in heats.
The cowboy relay will bring the
old rivals of Makee, Waipouli, Ha-
namaulu and Lihue to gether. There
will also be a race for cowboy
horses. The following is the pro-
gram:
Admission so cents.
Automobiles SO cents.
