The first meeting of fencers in Honolulu was held in the early part of February to frame a resolution requesting an A.F.L.A. Charter for a Division in Hawaii. The Gail Potter Fencing Academy has taken a five-year lease on new and larger quarters at Queen and Alakea Streets to serve as the fencing center for the new activities. It is equipped with separate dressing rooms, showers, lockers, and three private fencing salles which can be converted into one large salle for exhibition and competition purposes.

The new Division, when formed, has already dedicated its first A.F.L.A. competition to the memory of Nedo Nadi.
