The Alexander Young hotel has just
received advance copies of an adver-
Using brochure designed for distri-.
button among actual and possible
guests of the hotel as souvenir or
incentive to visit the Islands, and ne
cessarily, the Young hotel, which is
perhaps the handsomest thing of it's
style yet published. The text, written
by Alexander Young is all embracing
and extremely readable while the Illus
trations are exceptionally we'll chosen.
The engraving and press work is be-
yond reproach.
The booklet, of A pages, is enclosed
in a dark green cover of crisp rough
paper on which the title 1.-The Alex
ander Young Hotel, Honolulu, Ha-
wall" is decoratingly embossed in gold.
The inner pages are Of heavy coated
paper of a yellowish tone, the letter.
press, Illuminated by initial letters,
being in black The illustrations are
half tone engravings of photographs,
many of them grouped and appropri-
ately decorated in wash. They are ex-
their general effect. There are in
all thirty-seven illustrations, grouped
and single.
Of these eight show the exterior and
lavish interior decorations of the ho~,
tel, the rest being selected from views
on the group with a special eye to
sit car halted amid palms is a timely
advertisement of modern comfort,
while the more characteristic attrac-
tons Of Olden Hawaii are shown in
pictures of lei sellers, a native grass
house, poi preparers and carriers,
native luau and a pretty girls head,
fishing canoes and native woman on
horseback wearing the long pau.
Modern enterprise shows in pictures
illustrative of the cane industry, scenes
on the railroad, a grouped page Of
ocean and inter-island steamers, Cam
arinos standing white clad among pine
apples and the shipment of cattle by
water.
Among buildings are shown four
panoramas of the city, the Haleiwa
hotel, the Judiciary and Executive
buildings, with a view of Hilo Bay
and town and the Volcano House.
Sports are illustrated by the polo
team and canoeing parties.
The chief charm of the islands is
we'll pointed to possible tourists in a
collection of sunny views of palm and
reef, mountain and valley. Royal
palms, waving cocoanuts beside rip
ping streams, cool avenues and vistas
of shade, the steep precipice of the
Pail with the sun checkered landscape
at its feet, typical trees OF the tropics,
| banyan, breadfruit and banana, fern
empowered waterfalls, glances along
the coral strands with bathers stand
| ing waist deep in the warm waters,
all give an enhancing glimpse into
| Hawaii's repertoire of sunny scene
| and balmy cline well calculated to at
tract and fascinate even the casual
eye. The sublimity of the dormant
crater of Kilauea is well brought out
in short poem by Alexander Young
supplemented by typical engravings.
| Another poem by Mr.. Young de-
! scribes the glories of a Honolulu sun
set in forceful meter while the text
of the prose deals principally with the
constant delights of sunlight and
shade, moonlight and starlight in the
! tropics, by sea or land coupled with
| the witchery of the verdure clad
mountain and plain.
| Practical instructions of how to ar
rive, enjoy and leave are given, sports
amply touched on, the modern comforts
ranged by the side of natural environ
| ment, an inter island trip being car
ried out in imagination while the last
page is devoted to temperature table
| for 1902 with Its equable range of s.
! TO IS degrees throughout the year.
| But little space is given to eulogy OF
| the hotel and it's mana cement, the
whole brochure comprising a souvenir
| calculated to impart a most agreeable
| impression and so gotten up as not to
be readily cast aside. The Union
Lfthograph Company of San Francisco
