install it's own electric light plant and is
doing so. 1t will utilize eight hundred
incandescent and twelve are lights and
use five hundred oil lamps for decorative
purposes.
The foregoing is an outline Of the
more salient features of the exhibit. Z here
are many minor items not mentioned
which Will 90 to make it attractive and
valuable as an advertisement Of this
,ountry.
1t is the desire and aim of the Com
pany to make the exhibit thoroughly
representative OF the country of to-day as
well as Of it's ancient character, and for
this purpose every effort will be made to
draw a sharp contrast between the ex-
hibits illustrating ancient and modern
Hawaii.
1t is manifest from the foregoing de-
scription that the cost and running ex-
penses of the exhibit will be very large.
The Company does not, however, ask
for any pecuniary assistance from any
one but, in order 10 make the exhibit
as complete and valuable as possible is
asking for the loan of various exhibits
which it cannot afford to purchase and
which, in many instances, money can
not buy.
OF this character, are q large collection
of pa ntIngS of the volcano and general
scerery; isiaui fish TO the number Of
nearly one hundred; island fruit and
fiowers, etc.
The Kamehameha trustees have
agreed 10 make loan exhibit from the

1t is not necessary to enumerate the
articles desirable but the following Is
suyges.e as to the character of the ex-
hibIts

More particularly the feather cloak.
Such an exhibit neatly arranged can
be made extremely interesting and
valuable.
1t would be OF the same character as
that of the United states Government at
Chicago, in which exhaustive representa-
ton OF the business methods and pro-
ducts of every department were made.
As to the exhibition of relics, it was
extended to the minutest detail OF the
furniture, apparel and belongings OF
celebrated personages oil the country,
which exhibits illustrating the life of the
times and the persons, always attract
The Company will undertake to pack,
ship and care for all the exhibits fur
nished, without expense to the Govern
ment, and after the Fair to make such
disposition thereof as may be directed by
the Government.
/ desire also to state on behalf OF the
@ mpany, that it has been endeavoring
to make arrangements for the employ
ment of band at the fair, but SO lar
owing apparently to political influence,
such arrangements have not been COM
pleted.
If the Government will grant the Gov
eminent band leave OF absence to go TO
the Fair, the Company will pay all the
travelling and living expenses to and
from and at the Fair tor period OF say
six weeks to two months.
Hoping that the foregoing suggestions
may meet with your approval,
have the honor to be your obedient
Servant,
L. A. THURsToN.
