TRAINING SHIP
JAPANESE VISITORS.
INVASION BY SCHOOLBOYS.
(Per United Press Association.)
Auckland, August 28. Hundreds of Auckland schoolboys invaded the Japanese training ship, Shintoku Maru, when she was thrown open for their inspection this morning. They took charge of the ship and their hosts did everything possible to show them all there was to be seen. Many of the boys appeared more interested in improving their collections of matchbox tops than in learning how the young Japanese is taught the ways of the sea. Exhibitions of _ kendo, Japanese fencing, and judo or ju-jutsu given on the wharf were loudly applauded. The ship will be open to schoolgirls on Thursday morning and to adults in the afternoon, and is expected to sail for Kobe, the home port, on Saturday.
