'Receives Announcement With. Enthusiasm Sir Thomas Lipton received the an nouncement from the representative of the islands with enthusiasm. In the conversation the plans grew, until it had been planned that the series of races to be held in San Francisco waters should be concluded with an ocean race from San Francisco bay to Honolulu harbor. "How far is it?" "How is the water?" v These were tne only questions that Ipton asked before he - joined in the enthusiasm of the suggestion. "But I must have a steamer to fol low my yacht," hp added. For the P'an was moving ahead as swiftly as the race itself.

Much money has been spent in re fitting and altering the steamer to suit the requirements of her new own ers. The Kestrel is to operate be tween Honolulu and the South Pacific isles.

In accepting the gift for the. Ter ritory, Governor Frear said: "On behalf of the Territory I gladly accept from you and your committee and the generous donors represented by your committee this very excellent portrait of Mr. Dole. This presenta tion fulfills a hope long entertained by myself and many others. "It is, as you state, eminently fit ting that the memory of one who stood forth so conspicuously for dis tinguished public service as Mr. Dole in the history of these islands should be thus perpetuated. His title to a permanent place on these walls Is de rived not alone from the high office which he filleu.so long and 'so ably in this building, but also from the : high ideals and the pure partiotisra which have characterized his .entire career both as an official and, as a citizen.
