Boardman, j. H. Soper, A. Herbert
j. A. Mehrtens asked if the picnic
was for the benefit of the public or
the Oahu railway
E. F. Bishop said the committee
had not for one moment considered
the railway. He did not think their
charges would be exorbitant. The
committee had no idea of shutting
out anyone. He thought the re-
mark about the railway was slur
on the committee.
J. G.. Spencer said heretofore a
lanai to hold the exercises had cost
great deal of money. There is a
lanai already built at the grove
which would save large expense.
The railway company will charge
fifty cents for round trip tickets.
There is good ball ground there.
F. B. McStocker said there would
be a good many people who would
not go to the grove, and how were
they to be amused. He moved to
amend so that the exercises be held
in the city.
j. "A. Mehrtens did not want the
committee to think he was throwing
out slurs. He agreed with the last
speaker.
B. Ordenstein wanted a picnic. 1t
| might be held at the grove, but the
exercises and ball should be in town.
If'everything was to be held at Pearl
river, it would not be the wish of the
community. On the 4th of July il
was better to select place in town.
B. F. Dillingham; favored holding
the exercises in town.
G. T. Rodgers thought the celebra.
ton ought to he at one place.
j. w. Winter said if there was 8
baseball game at the grove it would
keep the people there until 5 O'Clock
He would like to know how the rail
way company could get all the PEG
| pie home. 1t would take until
o'clock in the evening. He made q
motion that the baseball match be
referred to the sports committee
which carried.
| Hon. w. III. Cornwell moved that
the meeting leave the whole matter
to the committee of twenty-one.
| j. H. Fisher moved that The ball
be abandoned and the money spen,
in some other way.
j. G. Spencer moved that dancing
be carried on at the Grove when the
people felt like it.
E. F. Bishop did not like the ides
of having to give up the ball. A
great many looked forward to it, and
it was the only place during the day
when certain guests could be re-
ceived.
b. F. Dillingham; favored ball al
both places.
M. Z. Grossman objected to aban
doning the ball. 1t gave pleasure te
the greatest number. and was the
best part of the days celebration.
