Mr.. Robinson arrived the matter of
the executive committee should be
taken I'D 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
of the auto club committee 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
| diffidence. but he expects that they
shortly will enter into the spirit .
! the matter. They want a good deal.
| They assert, first of all, that Jney must
have a 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 a 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 a committee
to secure funds for the parade, posi-
bly, $500.
SYMPATHY FOR GOVERNOR.
AT the instance of Mr.. Spalding the
Promotion Committee authorized the
sending of a letter to Governor Car
ter extending the sympathy of the
members. This was due to the Gov
ernor's great interest in the promotion
work.
THE OCEAN YACHT RACE.
Mr. Smith reported that there was
almost a 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
r,o,,,c6ora TJobron expao4S tn coll his |
yacht Gladys with view of purchas-i
ing a yacht on the Coast. It was re-
ported that Mr. Hebron had a fine
yacht ia mind, and if he purchased
the vessel, the Hawaii Yacht Club'sl
flag would be hoisted over it, and she
would enter the race as the Hawaiian
yacht
TO ENTERTAIN YACHTSMEN.
Plans for the entertainment OF thel
visiting yachtsn1en We're discussed. As
the race is to start from San Fran
cisco May %, it was thought that an
entertainment on Kamehameha Day,
June IL, would be IN order. MIR. Cart
ley reported that Hawaii cowboys were
anxious to come here for another
tournament. It was suggested this
could be held a Moanalua. instead of
at KaDiolani park.
1t was believed that the water car
nfval. so successfully conducted a 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 We're of the opinion that the
water carnival should be an annual
event.
COHEN'S PLAN ENDORSED. r
Mr. spalding enthusiastically en- {
dorsed the plan of Joe Cohen to take
the band to the mainland for sum :
mer tour. to include the large SUM
mer resorts in the east. Mr.. Spalding
explained the plan in detail, along the
lines as already given in the Adver
tiser. The county Of Oahu gives the
band $500 per month for salaries and
To properly recruit the
band to its proper strength and to get
the best bandsmen among the Hawai- |
ans, it would be necessary to have
more money. Cohen's plan was to take
he band away for four months. This /
would give the band eight months in
Honolulu. If the $4,000 that are given
% the band per year would be given
,or the eight months, the income Of I
he band per month would be over {
s2200. In this way Captain Berger
could give a better class OF music to
for eight months in the I
year and he would have larger band. r
Mr. Spald1ng stated that Mr.. Cohen f
