The following is a letter received this
morning by John c. Waters from Dan
H Case at Honolulu dated August 81:
To John c. Waters and others.
Gentlemen: An Hawaiian girl to act
as Queen of the Kansas KarnivaI
knights has been secured and she is
one of Hawaii's fairest daughters
While it was generally recognized by
myself and friends that the islands
possessed an abundance of material
fitted in every way for the occasion,
still it was equally clear that it would
require more than ordinary efforts to
prevail upon any young lady to make
such trip among strangers. However,
now that success has crowned our
efforts we naturally feel proud of re-
suits.
Miss Anna Rose is a resident of the
city OF HtlO, and is universally recOg-
nlzed by all as one of the typical beau
ties of Hawaii.N 1 feel confident that
she will meet your most sanguine ex-
pectations, and know she will lend both
grace and dignity to the throne of the
KarniVal Knights
Allow me to say to your committee
that, in this matter, am under per-
Sonal obligations to numerous Ha-
ance and suggestions might not have
succeeded. 1 am not, therefore, en-
titled to all the credit by any means.
I enclose clipping from Honolulu pa
per, and letter Of acceptance from Mr..
F. Melville Wakefield, who has gen
erOusly done all he could to further the
cause.
have booked Miss Rose for the
Alameda which vessel leaves here
for San Francisco September IA, arriv-
ing at Frisco on the morning of the
21st. This will allow ample time for
your party TO reach Kansas before the
three
in which to rest. AS you state your
committee will meet Miss Rose at the
steamer.
I have a suggestion to offer, and that
is: At the present time travel to the
islands is quite heavy, and in order to
secure proper accommodations [ under
stand it is necessary to book ones
name some two or three weeks before
the sailing of steamer. I would there
fore consider it adViSab BILE, while your
committee is in Frisco, to perfect ar
engagements for the return passage of
Miss Rose on one of the Oceanic steam
ers. AS you are probably aware her
return ticket will be good only on
steamers belonging to the oceanic line.
Please let me know on what vessel
the young lady is to return so that she
can be met in Honolulu and arrange
ments made for her passage to Hilo.
I very much wish time had permitted
my securing your suggestions on sew
eral points, but 1t did not, and nave
had to act on suggestions of self and
friends However, 1 feel that every
thing will be satisfactory to you as 1t is
In behalf of the good people of Ha-
wall I sincerely thank you and the cit1-
zens of Kansas for the honor thus con-
ferred on these islands, and am con-
fdent that the treatment Miss Rose
will receive at your hands Will tend to
unite the two countries into a closer
union.
wishing a glorious success to the Fail
Festival in general, am, respectfully
yours, D. H CASE.
In a postscript Mr.. Case says: by |
special request please see that no cigar !
or liquor house gets hold of the photo |

by having the photograph copyrighted |
