AN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Mr.. Spalding asked whether 1t would
not be well for the city improvement
clubs TO organize an executive commit
tee. for instance the chairmen Of the
various clubs to be designated as
members OF such committee. The
work connected with the improve
ment proposition was becoming so
great that the discussions were taking
up much of the time of the meetings
OF the Promotion Committee. which
ness. now that the improvement move
nent was well started. The Honolulu
Improvement Committee. was an ap-
pointive committee and is at present
an advisory board. Various members
OF the Promotion Committee did not
believe 1t would be well for the I'm
provement Committee to act as the
executive committee of the clubs.
Chairman McCandless agreed with Mr..
Spalding. 1t was agreed that when
Mr.. Robinson arrived the matter of
the executive committee should be
taken up and decided.
FLORAL PARADE PROGRESS.
Mr.. Gartley, Committee ON the
Floral Parade for Washington's birth
day reported progress. A selection of
patronesses and judges was being
made, but as all those desired to act
had not yet accepted the list would
be held in allegiance. Mr.. Gartley said
there was considerable enthusiasm
over the auto section.
Mr.. McCandless, who Is president OF
the Auto Club, will take up the matter
at once, and keep in touch with the
proposition. There is to be a meeting
VI thC autO CiuD TO arrange
for the classification of the autos.
There will be three or four classes and
blue ribbon for each class for dec
GRATED machines.
THE PAU RIDERS.
Mr.. Gartley also stated that the pau
riders section was being looked after
and there was promise of a good turn
out. However many of the older
women, who in former years rode in
the pau skirt have shown a little
difhdence, but he expects that they
shortly will enter into the spirit of
the matter. They want a good deal. |
They assert. first of all. that they must
have pau horse" one which has
pride enough to show off its rider. |
This, say the women. is absolutely
necessary. They must have just the !
right quality and color of calico to
make proper display.
Mrs. Kamaka Stillman had been seen
in reference to the pau riders and she
was willing to assist the younger gen.
Grafton In the way of making and drap-
ing their skirts.
Messrs. McCandless, Waldron and
Spalding were appointed committee
to secure funds for the parade, possi- |
bly, $500.
SYMPATHY FOR GOVERNOR.
At the instance of Mr.. Spalding the
Promotion Committee authorized the
sending of letter to Governor Car
ter extending the sympathy of the
members. This was due to the Gov |
ernors great interest in the promotion
work
THE OCEAN YACHT RACE.
Mr. Smith reported that there was
almost certainty of five entries for
the ocean yacht race from San Fran /
cisco to Honolulu this coming May.
This was considered a good sized |,
bunch for such an event, especially /,
because of its being the first race of
the kind in the history of yachting In
the Pacific Ocean.
1t was reported that the proposition
to send Commodore Mcfarlane's
schooner yacht Lurline was off, as
Commodore Hebron expects to sell his
yacht Gladys with view of purchas-
ing yacht on the Coast 1t was re-
ported that Mr.. Hebron had fine
yacht in mind, and IL he purchased
the vessel, the Hawaii Yacht Clubs
flag would be hoisted over 1t, and she
would enter the race as the Hawaiian
yacht.
TO ENTERTAIN YACHTSMEN.
Plans for the entertainment of the
visiting yachtsmen were discussed. AS
the race is to start from San Fran
cisco May 25, it was thought that an
entertainment on Kamehameha Day,
June IL, would be in order. Mr.. Cart
ley reported that Hawaii cowboys were
anxious to come here for another
tournament. 1t was suggested this
could be held at Moanalua, instead of
at Kapiolani park.
1t was believed that the water car
nival, so successfully conducted year
ago by the Healani and Myrtle boat
clubs, should be given again this year
during the time the yachtsmen are
here. The members of the Promotion
Committee were of the opinion that the
water carnival should be an annual
event.
CoHEN's PLAN ENDORSED.
