The matter OF the Merchants Fair
came up on the report OF the special
committee as follows:
Honolulu. u. T. June 10Th, 1899.
To the President and Members of the
Merchants Association.
Gentemen:-The committee appointed
by you for the purpose Of inquiring into
the proposed Merchants Fair, which IL
has been suggested be held in conjunc-
tion with the Agricultural Fair, beg leave
to report as follows:
At conference between Acting Gov
ernor Cooper, Mr.. Wray Taylor Com
missioner of Agriculture and Forestry
and your committee. VIC were assured of
the hearty cooperation OF the govern
ment. and their hope that the proposed
action be taken.
Owing to public notice having been
given early in the year that the Agri-
cultural Fair would be held the last of
July. and that planting had been going
on In accordance Herewith, IL was deem
ed inadvisable 20, at this time change
the date of the Fair. and your committee
feel that II Is TO the best interest Of all
that they concur In the date originally
set
Our two Inter Island transportation
companies (the w. s. 8. Co. and the I. l.
8. N. Coz have offered q 50 per cent re-
duction In fares, making one fare
round trip rate. tickets good for one
month. for passengers from the other
Islands. They still further offer to carry
free. products and goods to be exhibited
at the Agricultural Fair.
Some OF the hotels offer special reduced
rates to the island visitors during the
fair.
The Jockey Club has signfied their
Willingness to arrange race meet dur
ing that week, they only asking that the
fair promoters guarantee portion of the
purses.
Your committee feels that the fair can
be successfully and creditably carried
through, provided n proper location can
be obtained and would suggest that
committee be appointed to wait on Gov
ernor Dole. requesting him to get per-
mission from Capt. McWilliamson, the
L. s. resident quartermaster, for the
erection of a pavilion in front OF and be-
tween the Drill Shed and Hotel street
for the housing of the Merchants ex-
hibits and such other uses as may be
deemed desirable.
Your committee has secured an esti-
mate that the probable cost OF a suit
able building will be between $500 and
5000 and that probably $500 would be
realized from the sale of the building
after the close OF the fair. making a
probable net cost of about $500.
Respectfully submitted,
y. r. HELM,
w. w. DIMOND.
GEO. w SMITH
j. G. ROTHWELL,
+. L. WALDRON,
r. CATION.
Committeeman Smith said that the
cost of the building would be some
5000 and the salvage from the lumber
$1,000. However, there would be a
source of revenue in that the space
could be rented and thus some money
raised. w. w. Dimond said there mignt
be- formed a company to erect the
building and take all charge OF the af-
foirs in this connection, the associa-
ton standing the loss On motion OF
Secretary Harris the committee was
increased by the addition OF three
members and given all power to carry
through the fair idea. The three MEM
bers are: J. G. Rothwell, r. Cation,
+. l.. Waldron. There was some talk
of limiting the committee in it's ex-
penditures. but this was not put into
concrete form, as all the talk had been
along lines that made II possible for
the people to see Just what the com
mittee might spend.
letter was read from l.. Marks
saying that ne was ready to aid in the
carrying out of the plan for clean
streets and wanted to meet the as
ISOLATION. This was followed by a sug-
gestion from the committee on the sub
ject that Mr.. Marks would give it later
report upon costs and what he could
secure. which would form the basis of
report; also that there seemed every
reason to believe that the plan would
so through very soon.
A letter from &. d. Chase embody-
ing a suggestion for the maintenance
Ia San Francisco of bureau OF in
formation, and other plans of advert!s-
ing for the securing OF tourist trade
was referred to a special committee
composed of ]. q. Rothwell, J. F. Hum
burg and w. Lishman. and the COM
mittee will look into other plans FOR
advertising.
Nh. Weldon sent letter asking II
the association would assist in secur-
ing his outfit of lantern slides and
views and Offering to distribute litera-
ture, and the secretary will answer
! that he was engaged to lecture in the
belief that he had all the supplies.
