range mineral exhibit for the
Worlds Fair.
Hon. l.. A. Thurston and E. nj.
Walsh of Honolulu spent Sunday,
April 18th, in Salt Lake City. They
were on their way to Chicago as re-
representatives. of the Hawaiian Govern
ment, to complete arrangements for
the exhibit at the Worlds Fair. They
said the Government and those in
immediate charge proposed to expend
nearly $50, 900 in making an exhibit
which would be source of pride to
the little kingdom of islands, and
especially gratifying to the United
States. 1t is the intention to erect
building for the display, if a suitable
site can be obtained, otherwise they
will ask the privilege of grouping the
island exhibit in one building. If
they carry out their present inten-
tions the exhibit of your lovely Ha-
wall will be one of the most attrac-
tive and beautiful in the Exposition.
The celebrated artist, Walker w.
Burridge of San Francisco, who visit
ed the islands last fall for the pur-
pose of viewing the wonderful vol
cano of Kilauea, is now engaged in
reproducing it in the form of an i'm
mense cyclorama. Another attraction
that will give untold pleasure to the
vast throng will be the native Ha-
waiian band, which created such a
furore among the lovers of music on
this coast few years ago. 1t has
the honor of being excelled by none
unless it be the Seventh Regiment
Band of New York.

Your Mr.. Walsh, sugar planter,
during his sojourn in Salt Lake city,
