Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1904-11-25


in Honolulu was credit to the city
and was blooming testimonial TO the
enterprise. cleyerness and taste and
spirit of the owners OF autos In TINS
city. The floral line along King street
and out Waikiki boulevard to kapio-
lani Park contained nineteen cars out
Of the twenty.three or twenty'four
owned In Honolulu. The idea of ceie'
brating THANKSGIVING in this manner
was so recent an inspiration that au'
tomobilists had little time to germi'
nate schemes in detail or the plan
ners OF the event to go far afleld Tor
features OF the general parade.
II was carried out with pretty eff
feet and none saw 1t but formed the
wish that n floral festival of this kind
might be an annual event or even
form conspicuous feature OF the
many holiday demonstrations of the
year
The rendezvous at Capitol Square
was crowded with people to see the
start Before the hour Of 10 o'clock
the floral cars came gliding upon the
scene. gracefully taking their posi-.
tions on the chalkcd pavement, ready
I Tor the run. Chauneurs swung their
machines back and forth past each
other and through the crowds with
skin and precision. with nerves I'M.
touched by the concentration of thou.
sands OF eyes upon them. or by the
proiusion of gay.colOred flowers and
bright. smiling ladies' among which
they were ensConCed as in a seques

them before the start.
At the signal of T.. NJ. Boyd, mar.
shal of the parade. the procession
, moved down King street toward its
destination at Kapiolani Park. where
Judgment was to be rendered. All
along the way the residents for blocks
on each side came out to the King
street curb to watch the horseless cav
alcade spin noiselessly past. The ap-
plause that greeted the cars and their
passengers showed how the populaco
appreciated the beauty of the appari
tion.like line and how they entered In
the spirit of the contest.
Long before the flower cars started
the cars were crammed with people
eager to be In at the finish. There
