' The Governor of Hawaii, Walter F. Frear, was expected to lecture, but he did not. In his place F. H. Newell of the reclamation service talked interest ingly for an liour mi "Irrigation in the Hawaiian Islands." He laid some stress on "matters of interest to engineers, such as the pumping of water to a height of 500 feet; irrigation, reclama tion, etc., but most of his talk was the plain and unvarnished speech ttnder- stood by unscientific people. He show ed Hawaii from the time Captain Cook: landed on one of the islands in 1775 and then contrasted it with a Hawaiian city of today, which, in the views shown strongly resembled a city of the New England States. Other evidences of civilization were shown in views of Hawaiian customs, in which several plainly distinguishable American beer bottles were visible. After Mr. Newell 's talk, which every- society should incorporate was referred to the board of directors. sfir!?iri?
