WILL Be BIG
DAY At HILO
Getting Ready for the
Opening of Moo
beau Park.


| plete. There was meeting of the
park trustees last Wednesday night at
which Admiral Beckley made public
his plan for the opening of Mooheau
Hall on Monday, January 2.
The Hilo band will be in attendance
and will play special music for this
occasion. One composition by Prof
Carvalho is dedicated to Admiral
BeckIey. A bottle of champagne will
be broken on the railing by Miss Jua-
nita Beckley and the pavilion dedicat-
/ ed to the town, or Bacchus. in this
way. There will be an Grafton by the
admiral and addresses by less notable
per- ons one of whom will accept the
gift of the admiral on behalf of Hilo,
1t is thought there may be a dance
| in the hall in the evening. There is
some talk of races a. Hooluld Park in
the afternoon but it is not thought that
| the attendance would be large with
such a counter attraction as the open
| ing of Mooheau. There are few people
| In HiIo who would not go Ions dis
lance to hear Admiral Reckley tell
| how he had achieved success in the
world and the occasion of the opening
! of this grand park will not be en- ex-
ception 1t is not expected that the
park can be laid out by landscape
gardener before the opening exercises
but local draughtsman has been ask
ed to prepare pans showing where the
new kaumanie trees are to be planted
This will be done in colors and viii be
a work of art when completed.
Captain Fetter has been approach
ed relative to parade by the MEM
bers of Company I'D" and unless there
is something in the rules to prevent
it an event of that kind will be one of
the minor attractions of the day. The
trustees of the parks and public
grounds of Hilo have intimated de-
sire to have each citizen plant a tree
or shrub in the park grounds at noon,
and this. too. may be a part of the
program Visitors will be requested to
bring their own garden tools and trees.
The banquet to be given in the even
ing will be strictly private affair and
the number of invitations will be
limited
LYMAN HAS A WALKOyER.
There was no quorum of the execu-
tive committee of the Republican Dis
trict Committee on Monday night of
last week to. consider the matter of
the Endorsement of a postmaster to
succeed w. I. Madeira, who it is un-
derstood has been promoted. Chair
man Beers has therefore called a meet
ing at Fireman's Hall to pass upon
this matter. 1t is understood there is
only one applicant for the office now.
Chas. Siemsen having withdrawn in
favor of Norman K. Lyman. This
means probably walkover for Lyman,
especially in view of the fact that all
the members practically of the Exec
utive Council of the Board of Trade
have endorsed his application. Post
master Madeira has received no Off
cial notice Of the contemplated change
in his status and was much surprised
at the public announcement of his
promotion.
