PLANS.
{ From Wednesdays dailyD

The arrival of the visiting Shriners
in the Sierra is being eagerly awaited
by the Mobiles of Honolulu. Many prep
arations have been made for their en-
tertainment during stay of three
weeks. Immediately upon docking the
visitors will be impressed by the up-to-
datedness of Honolulu by the presence
of a long line of automobiles, into
which as many as can be comfortably
crowded of the Shriners will be loaded
and whired out to the MOana hotel, or,
speaking Shriner fashion, the Moana
Caravanserai. Elaborate arrangements
have been made by host and brother
Noble Rothwell for their welfare, in the
shape of welcoming decorations to
please the eye and a lengthy series of
menus to please the body. Captain
Berger and the Territorial band are
holding themselves in readiness for a
concert this evening should the Shrin-
ers arrive today. A program of ma
tional airs and popular music has been
arranged and the hotel is expected to be
the center of attraction in the city to-
night. Many Shriner windows will be
displayed by the prominent merchants,
while numerous signs are being placed
to welcome the visitors. The Hawaiian
hotel wears a gala air with a display
of bunting and new illuminated sign
representing the Hawaiian coat of arms
will be mounted for the first time dur
ing the Shriners' trip
Realizing the impossiblity of arrang
ing continuous program of amuse
ment for every day of the stay, pro-
Icedure which would be apt to pail on
the most interested visitor, the various
committees have contented themselves
with a few special affairs the intervals
between which will be filled by private
entertainment
Several souvenirs of the trip have
been gotten up. FezZes to the number
of two hundred, Identical in shape with
the regular Shriner headpiece, but
woven in this instance by native hands
of the dried lahala used for the regu-
lar native hats. These feZZes have been
decorated with the Shrine emblem and
the title of the new temple Aloha"
the institution which is the occasion of
the present trip. Fans of the same ma
terial have been similarly ornamented
for the visiting ladies, An elaborate
souvenir program in colors has been
printed couched in the Shriner vernac-
ular and conveying the general orders
of the visit. Allan Dunn is responsible
for their artistic and literary merit
Aside from the mysterious and mystic
rites and ceremonies connected with the
