wharf and look out over the blue
waters to Molokai and Lanai.
Then came the return drive to Ka-
hului where most of the party board
ed the steamer for dinner, others be-
ing guests in Maui homes and still
others dining in the hotels.
Swimming Exhibitions
once more, at Z o'clock the driver
hosts were at wharf with their cars
n took the guests up to Puunene
tank for the swimming exhibition.
M~arvelously beautiful was the sett-
ing. Above a full moon shed it's glo-
rious rays upon the scene and the
night was one of tropical balnfness.
The drive to Puunene tank was all
too short. Arriving at the tank the
party was ushered to seats on the
tennis court side and filled that sec
ton. They looked down into a tank
OF water of crystal like transparency
and the charm of it all gripped each
one there tightly.
And the entertainment was some
thing new and novel to most of the
spectators who had crossed the seas
to reach the islands. They had not
expected to see star performers of the
world in aquatic sports and the even
fng's entertainment was a fitting end
ing to two wonderful days. There was
Duke Kahanomoku, sprint champion
OF the world who showed five diff
ferent strokes; Pua Kealoha and All
Kong Pang in a 50-yards backstroke;
Mariechen Wehselau, record holder,
kuualoha Kelipiio and Miss Cunha
In so yards free style; Duke and Pua
swan a hundred in fast time; Helen
Moses n other girl stars in the
breast stroke so; a triple oar exhi-
bition; Ruth Scudder and other girl
swimmers in the so yard backstroke;
diving exhibitions by Simerson and
Tate and plunges for distance by the
same performer and by several of the
Islands best girl plungers and a med,
ley relay race to close with.
1t was a splendid entertainment
splendidly carried out and won the
warmest commentator.
Haleakala Trip
Those who took the Haleakala trim
returned Sunday afternoon thoroughly
pleased and probably the most en-,
thusiastic sight seers who have ever
spent a night at the crater's brink.

turned party n and all said they
never passed a nor comfortable
night anywhere. They had clear
weather for sunset and for sunrise
and with a full moon shedding its
rays down into the crater the night
scenes surpassed the ability of words
to picture them, they said,
Headed by. F.B. Cameron, there were
ample guides and the horses furnished
were in splendid, condition. Decend

lunch and then proceeded on down tC
Kahului. Several of the members o.
the party said they enjoyed their Mau.

than they had the visit to Kilauea or
the Big Island.
No ceremonies attended their de
parture. Good Dyes We're said a
