They had a "whale" of a time at
the Y. M. C. A. Cafeteria this noon,
and they are expecting to have an
other one this evening. . For the first
time in the history of Hawaii, according-
to the statement of the chef,
whale meat was served In a public
restaurant.
' When the usual lunch0 crowd as
sembled at the association this noon
they discovered a large plate of
whale meat on the counter, and above
It the sign: "Manuwahl." After dis
covering that the Hawaiian word
meant free for all instead of a new
kind of fish, the majority of the cus
tomers took a "helping."
: Some took a small bite and smiled,
while others made faces. A moving
picture director could have discovered
a lot of "registering" on the faces of
the diners this noon. Brave men who
can eat bear meat, liver and tripe,
smiled and asked for more. One diner
is satisfied that if he had his choice
between a nice juicy beef steak and a
whale steak, the whale supply would
not be increased. It may be filling,
but then again one might learn to eat
excelsior or alfalfa.
Floyd Emmans of - the Y. M. C. A.
was the first to try the stunt. He
purchased some of the sea-going bo
vine from the Metropolitan' Meat
Market., He didn't charge for it That
may be the reason that a lot of the
diners smiled. At any ; rate the as
sociation will serve it this evening,
and all those who wish to take a
chance are cordially Invited ;f to be
present at the distribution of marine
porterhouses, j v W . ; ?'
