The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-02-22

1t was a great day for Honolulu. The
Promotion Committees inauguration
of what is intended to be an annual
event in celebration of Washington's
birthday, could have asked no better
day, no greater success. no more wide
spread interest in all classes of the po-
pulation, no greater enthusiasm among
those who participated in the parade,
and no more unique, striking, or pic
turesque a feature to individualiZe the
celebration in Honolulu, and make 1t
separate, and apart from the pageant
of other places than the Pau riders.
The Floral Parade-if that is the
name by which it is to be hereafter
known-was a great, an unqualified
success 1t brought out the people of
the community to see it as no other
street pageant for many years has
done. There is every reason to believe
that no event in Honolulu has ever
been witnessed and enjoyed by as many
people. 1t seemed like the entire course
of the parade, from Thomas Square
down King street to town, out Bere-
tania street and the Waikiki road to
Kapiolani Park, was solidly lined on
both sides the entire distance Certain
1t is that there was no street corner
nor no block in the entire distance that
did not have it's crowds of people in
holiday attire, waiting from long be-
fore the hour for starting. to view the
parade The crowds of spectators be-
gan to rendezvous early-earlier than
the participants in the parade and
they were promptly on hand at the
stated hour. Before o'clock the troll
ley cars coming down town began to
be crowded. By o'clock the move
ment of the crowd was towards Kapio-
lani Park, and yet there seemed, and
there were, thousands left along the
line of the parade to make crowds ev-
erywhere.
The Pau riders, of course, were the
magnet and center of attraction. This
revival of an old custom, picturesque
and under the conditions that gave rist
to it, strikingly useful, was a happ!
thought of the Promotion Committee
1t appealed to dormant but whel
aroused, pleasing associations, among
the older residents, especially the Ha
waiians. 1t appealed to the love o
oddity and the striking costume in tn
younger generation. The response t
the invitation to take part in this par
of the parade was enthusiastic. TIL
very central figure of the whole par
ade, without doubt was Mrs Stillmar
well mounted, splendidly riding, wear
ing yellow pa-u and lima leis, and o
either side of her a grandchildren stur
dily riding. She was cheered along tn
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1906-02-22

At Just ten o'clock Sheriff Brown
gave the order for the automobiles to
prepare for the start, and all along the
line of Victoria street from Thomas
square mauka the brilliantly decorat-
ed automobiles begaR to give forth
the sounds of whirling machinery. In
a few minutes the whole line was ready
with chaeffeurs hands on their wheels
or handles and incidentally, an indes-
cribable variety of smells which had
been noticeable for some time before,
became intensified and, if the eye was
delighted by the blazes of harmonious
color, the sense of smell was far from
being similarly pleased.
The first machine, that of the Pro-
motion committee driven by A. A.
Young, who was in charge of the auto
mobile section, moved from its place
and turned into King street at eleven
minutes past ten, and the others follow
ed in fine order. One after another,
the purple, yellow, red, pink and laven-
dar cars rolled gracefully by and the
big crowds which lined the sidewalks
showed their appreciation of favorites
by applause. 1t was characteristic OF
cosmopolitan Honolulu that Jap auto
should be one of the most elaborately
gotten up and should be greeted witt
vigorous clapping of hands as 1t wheel
ed into King street
The leading auto had purple for it'
prevailing color and the bougainvillea
was its flower 1t had on board the
speedometer, and was to regulate tn
speed for all the procession, k epint
down to seven miles an hour. In ad
dition to A. A Young, those on thi
machine were H. Hertsche, manage
of the Moana, Secretary II. p. Woo
of the Promotion Committee and F. T.
Waldron of the Promotion Committee
The next following was the Baird car
with a bright yellow color scheme, tn
allamanda being the flower. It's beaut
formed pretty contrast to that of 1t
prede ecessor,- in fact all along the lin
there were alterations which Nigh
have been the result of concerted ef
forts to have contrasts succeed on
another. The Baird car contained "
H. Baird, Mrs. Baird, Miss May an
Miss Truelson. AS with others all dow
the line, the ladies were costumed
harmony with the plan Of the car
decorations.
Big, bright American Beauty Rose
| danced amid the decorations of II

whole course of the parade. AS the pau
riders passed along the course of the
parade, at a gallop wherever it was
practicable, she was recognized by the
crowds and given the tribute of cheers.
She made a splendid figure on horse
back-worthily connecting the Olden
time when the Pau was the custom Of
the day with the present, when it has
become the fashion for a pageant.
Another pleasing feature of the splen-
did success of the affair was the wealth
of decorative fancy and facility and of
decorative material which it develop
ed. Most exquisite designs were in evil
dence. Surprising effects were secured
by the use of unsuspected materials.
The promptness with which every
thing moved off was another gratifying
feature of the whole affair. Notwith-
standing all the difficulties incident to
such things every part of it moved off
almost to the minute of the schedule.
This reflects great credit not alone on
the officials, but on the participants. II
added greatly to the effectiveness of the
whole and to the pleasure of those who
participated and those who witnessed
| The Promotion Committee has scored
a success. 1t has inaugurated an an
nual pageant which ought to prove Sc
ductively attractive not alone to visit
ors from afar but to our own people.

tening that afternoon to three of tho
ablest debaters in the House, Burke
Cochran, John Sharp Williams and
Colonel Hepburn.
on Thursday 1 presented the dele
cation at the White House.
The President in assuring us of his
help on this measure, said that he had
recommended it in his message only
after a careful consideration which
convinced him that it should be done.
He added that he was not in the
business of granting favors, but sup
ported this on it's merits; and he said
you may quote me to Senator For
aker as saying that 1 think this legis-
lation should be passed" He closed
by saying that he would prefer not to
take further action in the matter; but
that if it became necessary, we might
call on him to take the question up
with particular members of congress.
On Thursday, by appointment, 1 pre-
sented the delegation to Senator For
aker at his home The Senator after
expressing his friendliness for our mea-
sure, said that it would be difficult to
get a prompt hearing, owing to the fact
that the Interstate Commerce Commit
tee, of which he is a member, are now
having continuous hearings on the Hep
burn Rate bill just passed by the
House. He, however, decided to leave
that for a day, and has called a meet
ing of the Committee on Pacific Islands
and Porto Rico to hear us on Tuesday
next.
Yesterday we closed our statements
before the House Committee with an
all day hearing. Mr.. McInerny was
the first speaker At the conclusion OF
his statement, Col. Hepburn, who had
granted my request to appear before
the committee, made strong plea for
the bill Col. Hepburn said he re-
garded Hawaii as the second most i'm
portant acquisition the general govern
