PROMOTION WORK
IS REPORTED UPON
SECRETARY WOOD OF THE PRO
MOTION COMMITTEE MAKES HIS
WEEKLY REPORT.

A plan was discussed whereby the
Promotion Committee would lay be-
fore the Oceanic Steamship line the ,
desirability Of a triangular steamer
route between San Francisco, Honolulu |
and San Pedro.
Nothing definite was accomplished !
but the matter will probably be taken !
at the next meeting.
Secretary Woods regular weekly re-
port on promotion business was as fol- ,
lows:
The yachts participating in the first
race across the Pacific are in port. The
news of their arrival has been sent out
by cablegram and letter, reaching every
part of the world. Each mail brings
in a large number of newspaper clip
pings referring to the event.
The start from San Pedro was well
photographed and many Of the views
will be reproduced throughout the
country so that for another month at
least, clippings referring to the great
race, will be coming in. We will have
enough to fill a fair sized scrap album.
l have sent out copies of the logs Of
the Lurline and AnemOne to the secre-
tary of every Yacht CLUB in the United
States and England and will forward
the La Palomas log by the next mail.
The excursion of the Southern Cali
formal Editorial Association is being
well worked up. By the last mail 1 re-
ceived letter from Mr.. Arthur Holiday
official photographer of the Los An
geles Examiner stating that he would
make one of the party, also saying that
the cartoonist of the Examiner, Mr.. r.
c. Springer, would make the trip.
When the large metropolitan papers
show such an interest in the matter
we may rest assured of receiving ex-
tended and widely published write-ups
| of the Associations outing.
Our circular letter to bankers, with
which we enclosed a copy of the Lyster
letter, is winning out in splendid shape
and will unquestionably be the means
of bringing a large number of visitors
to Honolulu during the coming season
Every mail brings answers asking for
| further particulars, hotels rates etc.

II would he grateful if you would
give me some idea as to the results

self"
