Mr.. J. A. Mehrtens asked il this
was 10 be for the benefit of the Oahu
Railway Company.
Mr.. Bishop thought he understood
the feelings of some in regard to
having the meeting at Pearl Hsrbor.
In deciding to have the celebration
down there the committee did not
have any view of giving an advan-
tage to the Oahu Railway Company.
There would be q ride on the rail,
people would see q new country. 1t
was not the intention to shut out
anybody from enjoying the day.
Everybody could go down there and
enjoy it. Several people at that
meeting had never been at Pearl
River. When any person got up and
said it was for the benefit of the
railway he cast = slur on the commit
| tee.
Mr.. Spencer said the expense IN
previous years for lanai had been
very large, and lie thought the round
trip on the railway would not cost
more than so cents. There is q
large lanai down there suitable fol
dancing. There is good baseball
ground there, where all kinds OF
sports can be held.
Mr.. +. b. McStocler said some
of them did not like crowded pic.
MICS. Therefore the celebration
should be divided round-boat races
in Honolulu harbor in the morning
lie moved to have the national game
of baseball in The afternoon.
Mr.. Barney Ordenstein was not
going TO the picnic but he had nc
objection to it. He would like &c
know what kind Of a ball they would
have after people tired themselves out
dancing at Pearl Harbor. Have tho
Fourth of July in town, but lie,
those who want to go down, go. Let
there be boat races, particularly
pulling, and other sports here. l
this committee wanted to have nj
the celebration at Pearl lIarbor, ht
