If you meet a wallaby on your way

Trent Is looking for a pair of them he
lost Saturday night and will give $25
for their return.
I Dogs frightened the two animals
brought from Australia for Trent's
private too and thev lumneri aeainat
their cage with enough force to break
, through it Saturday night. A young
i one, tnrown from its mother's pouch,
'. was killed by the dogs, but the pair of
on ones managed to get away and
have not been seen since. The baby
wallaby was left in the cage Sunday
and today in the hope that the mother
would return lor it, but apparently
she is afraid of the haunts of man.
The wallabyis a small animal of the
kangaroo family, and altogether harm
less. Trent does not expect to see
his pair again as he believes they have
taicen to the mm and will be too
frightened to come near to roads
human habitation.
It is said he intended to loan them
for use on the Australian float in the
coming carnival if he had them at
that time.

THEiBILLION-BUBBLE"
(Sparlal Staf Bulletin CorrMpoudaaca)
HILO, Aug. 18. That Hilo is to
have a record time during the third
week of September is very evident,
and the amount of publicity that has
been secured regarding the Fifth Civic
Convention and Second County Fair
in the press of the territory was com
mented upon freely by President Wil
liam McKay of the Hilo Board of
Trade, Chairman H. B. Elliot of the
county fair, an1 Editor Riley H. Allen
of the Honolulu Star-Bulletin at tne
dinner that was given at the Hilo ho
tel last Wednesday evening. The gath
ering consisted of 45 ladies and men.
and all those present were connected
with the fair or convention in some
official capacity. William McKay pre
sided at the dinner and he, when the
time came, outlined the program of
the convention and pointed out what
the object of the gathering was.
"Have to Go Some."
"Five weeks from today, said Mr.
McKay, "the P-fth Civic convention
and County Fair will be in full swing
and it behooves us all to get busy
and make "the occasion a huge suc
cess. The advance publicity given
the two affairs has been the best ever
heard of in the territory and we now
have to make good on our promises.
There will be over two hundred dele
gates to the convention and they are
coming from every part of the "group.
Hilo will make good, that is sure,
and we. the directors, now invite any
one present to make suggestions and
to discuss any of the features mat
have been mentioned here or m tne
press. There have been good con
ventions in the past, but after the
fifth convention, anyone wno wisnes
to beat the record of Hilo will nave
'to go some in order to ao so.
Mr. McKay tnen outunea tne pro
gram and it is the same as nas ap
peared in all the island newspapers
several times already. He tnen saia
that the Honolulu dailies had taken
up the matter of special editions re
irardlnz the civic convention and
county fair and that as Editor Allen
of the Star-Bulletin was present he
would call upon him to say a few
words. ' ...
Mr. Allen was , greeted witn ap-
Dlause when he stood up ana ne us
once plunged into his subject.
Editor Allen Talks.
"I want, first of all, to say t&at tne
publicity your civic convention and
county fair has obtained during the
past eight monies or so has been very
effective. Honolulu people are look
ing forward to these coming events
and the success of the affairs is as
sured. .
"What strikes me as most import
ant is that the directors of this com
ing convention are trying Jto achieve
something tangible in the way of bet
tering conditi ns in the territory,
and that they are endeavoring to
bring up subjects to be discussed
that will Influence future legislation.
"Roads, public health and other
questions are good subjects to discuss
but they, in a way, are taken care of
by different departments of the ter
ritorial machinery. I think that the
big subject at this convention is likely
to be development of tourist assets
and accommodation for tourist traffic.
I am confident that there is coming a.
period of tourist traffic to these isl
ands that none of us ever dreamed of
In the past. And In this opinion I am
confirmed by experienced men from
the mainland who declare that a tide
of tourists will. How into Hawaii In
the future that will make the past look
smalL
Enjoyed Visit.
"I have enjoyed my stay in Hilo
and through the courtesy of Mr. Wil
liam McKay, I have been able to see
much of the country that I could not
otherwise have done. I made the
trip to Puna and I want to say right
here that that one-day excursion
should be boostod to the limit There
is nothing like it in the islands, and
great stress should be laid upon the
fact that that beautiful section of the
Island of Hawaii can be seen and en
joyed in one day. Tourists who only
see the volcano miss a lot We in
Honolulu do not want to keep the
tourists there all the time and we
should be delighted to see them not
only visit the volcano dui ausu
over in Hilo and take in the wonder
land of Puna and other places, r iuti
ly I would say that a big crowd of
people will come to Hilo for the con
vention and fair and I know that the
whole endeavor will be a success.
Vicars for "Pros and Cons."
G. H. Vicars said that he thought
that when a paper on any subject was
read at the convention mere uuu
h. another paper opposing the propo
sition as suggested in the first paper.
vicars was strong for a pro anu tun
arrangement of papers to be read at
the convention.
As one of the transportation com
mittee Vicars asked those people who
had private automobiles to iei mm
know if they are willing to assist in
conveying, the delegates to me con
vention around when they arrive. i
Ladies' Committee Reports. 1
Mrs. William McKay, chairman of
the ladles' committee which win taae
care of the visiting ladies when they
arrive, told of the plans of her com-1
mittee and said that there wouia De
an afternoon tea at the Yacht Club,
a cara party ana otner itmures
vided for the entertainment of the
visitors. Th a Dramatic Club will have
m . A. 1 . 1 . 0
ty fair committee, then was asked to
speak and he started off by saying
that the publicity work done by the
man responsible for that task had
been excellent. He said that when
he looks at Kuhlo wharf and remem
bers that the enormous space has to
be filled with exhibits,, he feels scared
sometimes, but, all the same, he
knows that all will be well. Wide
aisles will be provided fo'rthe people
to wander through in comfort and
there will be rest rooms for women
and children so that they can put in
the whole day at the fair if they feel
so inclined.
Dr. Elliot asked those present who
may receive freight by the steamship
Mauna Kea on the morning of Sep
tember 21, to please have It remov
ed from the wharf as soon as possible,
so that space will not be occupied by
the cargo on the day the fair opens.
J. C. Planklngton of the decoration
committee said that he had suggest
ed that the whole scheme be the same
and that one man be employed to do
the work. He had still to hear from
the other members of the committee
and could only report progress. Red
and yellow, the colors of Hawaii,
should be used.

When the visitors first arrived both
Wilson and Cleveland .'were asleep,
due to a strenuous time the evening
before, but when informed that a
large number of people had come to
see them they graciously consented to
appear in public and spent the re
mainder of the afternoon dlgnlfledly
stalking about the lawn. Many child

spent the greater part of the
time playing with them. ' ,
Waen asked ft they had any mes
sage to give to the people of Honolu

fused to commit themselves and when
pressed for an answer became peeved
and climbed to the top of the highest
tree in the yard, for they are the two
