| yacht, but has deferred doing so fol
| the present, and he may not try fol
| the trophy. The Coast yacht Aggie
may be entered, but Mr. Coleman, hen
| owner, will not be in command, as he
| intends taking d European trip next
summer. The White Wings is too old
| to cross the ocean. The owner of the
Martha is thinking hard over the prop
osition. He will study navigation
| this winter.
| Commodore Picker thought it neces-
sary that a Hawaiian yacht should be
| entered. La PaIoma was the only one
that could make the trip, although a
yacht might be chartered on the Coast.
1t was suggested by a Promotion Com
mittee member that if the La Palo-
mas owner desired it, the Hawaii
Yacht Club might look after the gen
eral expenses attached to the enter
ing of La Paloma. This Honolulu
yacht would have to be sailed up to
the Coast, put in trim for the race,
and this would involve considerable
expense and time.
On the suggestion of Chairman Cart
ley, the Promotion Committee then de-
cided TO offer d trophy, not to exceed
$500. AS to the second trophy that
will be optional.
To remove any idea that the yacht
race was being gotten UP as an advef-
Using feature for the islands, Mr..
Smith suggested that although the
Promotion Committee would supply
the cup. yet the Yacht Club might Of
fer it. 1t was decided, however, that
the cup should be know as coming
from the committee.
Commodore Picker said that the
question of the handicaps could very
we'll be left to the Pacific Coast Yacht
ing Association.
Mr.. Smith said that there would be
many details to attend to, as for in
stance, races to be arranged for to
and around different islands, visit to
the Volcano, luaus, etc. The yachts
men will probably be here some time,
and the whole round trip would occupy
about two months
Every registered yacht club in the
United States and even in Great
Britain will be notified by the Promo
ton Committee of the race, and in
vitations extended to try for the
trophy.
The Promotion Committee next took
up the Floral Parade" to be held
early in the coming year. This will
be the second annual event of the
kind in Honolulu following the initial
auto parade of last Thanksgiving. Mr.
Gartley was appointed to confer with
A. A. Young and Gerrft Wilder these
three to arrange with others for such
a parade. 1t was first suggested that
the parade take place on January l.
1t was shown that tourists would not
likely be plentiful here just then, and
it was proposed to hold it on Wash
ington's birthday.
The auto floral parade will not only
be featured, but it is proposed to have
a vehicle floral parade as Well, and
efforts will be made to have an ol3-
time cavalcade, principally composed
of Hawaiian women and girls dressed
in the old-time flowing and brilliantly
colored pa-us. If hundred women
dressed in this fashion, accompanied
by cavaliers dressed as Mexican
vaqueros, etc, the committee believes
it would be a strong drawing card, and
will give tourists an idea of what old
time riding parties were like.
Mr.. Gartley asked that publicity ne
given to the request that if any one
has any good suggestions for such a
parade, to confer with Secretary Wood.
The question of city Improvement
was brought up. A meeting to discuss
this important subject will be held on
November % when all interested in
this movement, are requested to meet
with the committee. Among names
suggested yesterday of those who are
desired to attend were those of Messrs.
w. NJ. Giffard. w. A. Bryan. Prof.
iHosmer, Zeno K. Myers, L. A. Thurs
iton, Gerrit Wilder, S NJ. Damon, E. S.
Mr.. Enos, Mr.. Peter, Prof.
Griffith. Other names will be added.
Secretary Wood was authorized to
procure glass cases in which to store
and exhibit the models of fish nov in
he Promotion rooms
