FOR AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHERS.
At the suggestion of Mr. Gartley,
who. however, was not present at the
meeting owing to important Floral
Parade matters occupying him else
where, the committee decided to offer
S25 for the best amateur photographs
taken of the Floral Parade. The s25
will be divided as follows: First prize,
$40: second. $3.50; third, S. and fourth.
$3.50.
1t is anticipated that every camera
in working order in Honolulu will be
out for business tomorrow and that
hundreds and perhaps thousands of
snapshots of the parade will be TAX
en-. The Promotion committee wants
to capture some of these snapshots for
possible future advertising purposes.
TWO FIESTA DANCES.
In addition to the dance in the even
ing of Washington's Birthday at the
Royal Hawaiian Hotel where the semi
official reception to the winners of
prizes. judges and officials will be held,
and where decorated carriages and
autos are to be grouped under dazzling
lights in the drives of the hotel prem
ises, a dance is also to be given at
the Alexander Young Hotel. Manager
Gray appeared before the Promotion
committee and stated that he had been
requested by a number of people to
give a dance on the same evening on
the Roof Garden. This was suggest
ed owing to the fact that there was
a very large number of people in the
city at this time, and he thought there
would be insufficient room at one hotel
to accommodate everybody. The COM
mittee had no objection to Mr.. Gray
giving a dance. The one at the Ha-
waiian Hotel. it was explained, was not
official except that an informal re-
ception was to be held there by the
principal participants in the parade.
TO ADVERTISE RESULT
Mr.. Langton, publisher of the Para
disc Of the Pacific, was present. He
appeared before the committee In re-
sponse to request of a member of
the parade committee to discuss a pro-
posed Fiesta Number" in March,
which would be devoted to exploiting
the Floral Parade. The number, like
the Christmas edition. was to be elab-
orately illustrated. on motion of Mr..
Spalding. the committee endorsed the
proposition. recommending to business
men generally that they take the op-
portunity to advertise especially in
that number and thereby assist in its
issue.
| THE PROMOTION CAR.
| Owing to the Won Hamm- Young gar
age having no car with a speedometer
attached, Mr.. Young. who had offered
the Promotion committee car to lead
| the parade tomorrow, was compelled
to withdraw his first offer and sub
| stitute his own car, which he said he
