FAIR WEATHER AND A TIME IN OLD I How the Day Was: Celebrated Here. THANKSGIVING IN THE CHURCHES: Turkey Feasts in Homes and Hotels Sports and Drives Enliven the Occasion. T WAS not a real old New England Thanksgiving in Honolulu yester day, but a real Hawaiian day for giving thanks for the plenty and pros ferity which has visited these Islands during the past year. But the spirit j of the old-fashioned family thanksglv- i ing was apparent in all things just the ' same, and all that was lacking was the falling of snowflakes, the Jingle of slelghbells, the bobsled coasting, skat ing upon a mill pond and washing the girls' faces with snow to redden their c heeks. These were the elements of the "Down East" Thanksgiving which , were not apparent in Hawaii yester day, but the big.

The Hawaiian Hotel gave a special Thanksgiving dinner, both the dining room and lanal being used by the guests. Long palm branches were ar ranged over the arches' and about the doorways. The tables were prettily decorated with small candle sticks with narti-hued shades. A Hawaiian quintet club played during the dinner i and pang the songs of Hawaii-nel.

They remind you of the poet's description of the grumoler: "The gr::mbler has sorrows more deep than his tears. He grumbles to think he has grumbled for years: He grumbles to think he has grumbled a way Hia home and his fortune, his life's little day. Bufc alas! 'tis too late; it Is no use to say That his eyes are too dim and his hair is too gray. He knows he is wretched as wretched ' can be: There is no one more wretched than he. wretchedly 4 And so he continues to crumble He grumbles by nleht and he crumble by day; jje grumbles at life, but to live how he pants! And he'll grumble In heaven If he as half a chance." The life of the grumbler may be full of blessing, full of gcod, full of mater. al for enjoyment; and yet he sees nothing for which to be grateful, no cause for thanksgiving either to God or man. You j remember the significant St. ry of Ha . man, in the old Book of Esther, who was the greatest man in the kingdom, next to the king himself, having power, wealth, and every means of personal gratification at his disposal, and yet at the same time sour, disappointed and an gry, seeing no cause for gratitude or Joy, because there was ne man in the realm too independent to bend the knee before him.

As they look abroad over the world, ar.d think of tb'i ten thousand things they hoped to get or hoped to do cr hoped to become, m sens of dissatisfaction arises in tbem. and drowns out any feeling of gratitude. Th. n there is another clas of people who feci that the very attitude of thank fulness ha about it a touch of hum.ty that lacks in manliness. Some people do not like to feel that they are under ny obligation to anyone, to their friends or neighbors. They do not like to feel that they even owe God very ..iuch, be cause it oppresses them, and they feel hi :r?i:iated a the thought. Then the'e are others and in these t'ays the number seems to be multiply ing who as the result of thf- transition of tho-ight through which we are pass ing, because of their questions conr- m btg God. concerning the meaning of life, concerning human destiny, have beeri thrown into such a state of doubt thai they are asking seriously whether life is worth livinir. whether there is rally any- (Continued on page C) : A Big Row One of the Leading Events. CUNHA AND CARTER MIX-UP Punahou Athletics Outplay the Honolulu at Nearly Every Stage of the Game. TWENTY-NINE to six In favor of the Punahou Athletic Club was the score at the conclusion of the big football game yesterday, and any doubts which may have existed as to the superiority of the winning team over others of the league were com pletely swept away. It was a memorable game in many respects, and while the quality of the football played was, on the whole, dis appointing, the contest fairly bristled with sensational incidents, and the huge crowd of spectators certainly got their money's worth of entertainment. The gathering on the campus waa perhaps the largest which has attend ed a sporting event for many years. When the game started there must have been 1,500 people present, and at the end of the fiPBt half the attend ance was well over the 2,000 mark. The ropes were lined three deep, and be hind were numerous vehicles, each creaking beneath its load. More tickets were sold than there were accommo dations provided. It was essentially a holiday crowd which came to enjoy themselves. It was also a very demonstrative crowd which cheered, yelled and hooted when It thought there vas the slightest ground for such outbreaks of favor or otherwise. The majority, probably, would not have passed' an examination for an umpire's Job, but this in no wise diminished their enthusiasm. They witnessed the effort and its sequel of victory or defeat; the tournament of brain and brawn; the passion and lust of the struggle, and were satis fied. The scene was a gay one. Everyono wore club colors. The red and white of the Honolulus. the gold and blue of the Punahous, and the bizarre green and gold of the Malle Illmas, all help ed to make a spectacle which was ka leidoscopic In coloring a.id shifting effects. The colors of the contesting clubs were identical with those of the two great California universities. Over night the Punahous ruled fa vorites In the betting, but there was quite a disposition to hedge on the field. The natives were with the Ho nolulus to a man and did not hesitate to back their choice. Another thing which made friends for the Honolulus was the fact that Henry Ccckett was included In the team. His name had been omitted 'ram the lists furnished to the press, and his presence was cal culated to greatly strengthen his side ,The beat team won, and that is about all there is to it. The Punahous devel oped surprising strength and their op ponents equally surprising weakness The Honolulus were simply outplayed at every stage of the game In the sec ond half, while in the first half they managed to hold their own. The score at the end of the first half waa six all. Morse scored for the Punahous, and Gleason did the 'rick for the Honolulus. In the sec ond section of the game the Punahous touched down four times. J. Marcallino (2), Soper, A. Marcallino and Morse crossing the line. Goals resulted from five of the six touchdowns, and the ' kicking was remarkably accurate. Gleaaon's great 90-yard run was the feature of the game. Punahous had the ball on the Honolulus' 20-yard line ind as soon as It was snappsd Gleason broke through center, secured the ball and ran the whole length of the field with it. never being headed. Biaisdell deserves great credit for his superb :nt,, rfering on Gleaaon's behalf. There v. as trouble galore throughout the game, and George R. Carter, the umpire, had his hands full from whis tle to whistle. When the Punahous :;:a?e their first touchdown the Hono lulus protested on the ground that the umpire had signalled off-side agair.at the Honolulus, and then allowed tho touchdown, instead of inalizing the. offenders five yards They said that as soon as Carter signalled off-side.
