| will supply natives to manipulate the
same at the Beach. SO that all those
| wishing to indulge in sea bathing and
canoeing will have ample opportunity
to do so.
A general invitation is extended to
the public. which it is hoped will be
embraced by all those whom the, COM
mittee could not entertain at luncheon
by reason of the contracted space. to
gather at the beach and extend a true
Hawaiian welcome to the guests of the
day. The committee also hopes that
the general public will gather at the
wharf on the arrival of the Manchuria
to greet the guests as they land and
give the Secretary of War and the
presidents daughter rousing aloha
1t is believed that on that day most all
the people who gather to see the guests
will deck themselves with leis.
AT the meeting yesterday a special
committee on leis, consisting of Col.
Samuel Parker. was appointed to pro-
vide for a lei to be sent out in the tug
to the Manchuria. for each member of
the Taft party.
1t is not yet decided where the Man.
,churia Will dock. 1t is hoped she can
be brought in to one of the naval docks.
which are out in the open. Otherwise
the vessel may be locked at the Hack
field wharf. A salute of seventeen guns
viii be fired at the naval station and
the infantry from Camp Mckinley will
be on hand and will form lane from
the gangway to the wharf exit, through
which the Secretary and party will
pass.
Sheriff Brown will also probably pro-
vide the mounted police to do special
duty at the docks, as well as foot
police. 1t is proposed to rope off a por-
ton of the wharf so that the party
can be kept intact.
The decorations at the Hawaiian Ho-
tel are to be in yellow and green. the

be executed by John Mcguire under the
