A VERY GREAT LABOR DAY
DID THEMSELVES
PROUD.
Program Was a Credit to Honolulu and
The Territory-Biggest Parade Ever
Seen-Sports, Ball, Etc.

Seen-Sports, Ball, Etc.
The Labor Day parade was far ahead
of anything of the kind ever attempted
or witnessed i'm Honolulu. 1t would
have done credit to a big, mainland city,
and spoke volumes for the spirit and
energy and ability of organized labor in
this small isolated territory. Visitors
who had witnessed Labor Day pa
rades in San Francisco, Denver and
Chicago were loudest in praising the
| display of yesterday morning.
! Mounted and foot police led the par
ade. They were followed by the queen
of the fete, Miss Lilly Murray, dressed
as the Goddess of Liberty. Then came
a line of floats of various kinds, the fire
| department and the trades unions. The
unions were nearly all attired in spe-
cial uniforms Each union and nearly
every large business house had one or
more floats in line. Hustace & Company
exhibited about half mile of drays
and coal carts. The line was nearly
mile and a half long. The Hawaiian
and mixed band supplied music.
The parade returned to the capitol
grounds at II o'clock and was there
disbanded. Before doing so, it passed in
review before Governor Dole. Speaking
from the band-stand on the grounds
began Immediately after Interesting
|
Davis, Lorrin Andrews and District
Attorney John c. Baird. The latter was
! the orator of the dav. All of the
! speeches dealt with the subject of la
| Dor and the meaning of Labor Day. w.
! c. Roe, the grand marshal, presided
over the meeting Several thousand
people heard the speeches.
The only objection to the sports pro-
gram at Kapiolani was that there were
| too many features. Field events were
sandwiched in, as it were, between the
horse races. Following were the re-
suits:
Half mile open bicycle race, won by
George Desha in 1913.
Quarter mile bicycle for boys under 16
George Medeiros, in 40.
Sack race, Charlie Ensue.

in the horse races, the loser invariably
feeling that he had been chiseled for
! piece of aa. The following were the re-
suits

In this race Quinn, driving Eros, broke

the gig and quite badly bruisng Quinn

The ball in the evening was the big
closing event of the day. About 600 peo-
