TRAINING SHIP’S VISIT.
Japanese Vessel Inspected by Schoolboys. Per Presa 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 to be 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-jitsu, given on the wharf, were loudlv applauded. The ship will be open to schoolgirls on Thursday morning, and adults in the afternoon, and is expected to sail Kobe, the home port, on Saturday.
