GOES WELL
The Floral Parade Will
Be More Elaborate
Than Before.

Arrangements for the forthcomin.
Floral Parade were given a big pusl
at the meeting of the general com
mittee held yesterday afternoon in th
Office of W. F. Dillingham;. There hat
been much hard work done since th'
last meeting by the various specia
committees and these were able to re
port progress and satisfactory arrange
ments all along the line.
The parade this year will be NOR,
elaborate affair than last years effort
From the reports made yesterday it il
certain that there will be much big
ger turnout of decorated carriages, anG
the number of riders in line, exclu
sive of those in the pau section, will
be very many more. The pau rider:
will be out in almost twice as large
number as last year. while special
riders, representing the other islands
will be here to take part in the gala
event, special places in the line being
given to these. The number of auto
mobile owners who have either con.
sented to have their machines decor
ated to take part in the parade or
have proffered the use of their bubble
wagons to the committee is larger than
had been the case at this time last
year, and the auto feature promises
to pass the altogether ereditable show
ing of the initial parade.
OUTLINE OF PROGRAM.
W. F. DILLINGHAM;, who has the gem
eral management of all the arrange
ments for the parade, submitted the fol-
lowing outlined program, which was
approved. His suggestions are:
The formation of the floral parade
will take place in and around the Capt.
tol grounds. The automobiles will be
lined up on each side of the main en-
trance in their designated places and
in the Likelike street entrance. The
automobiles will enter by the Likelike
street entrance only.
The formation of the riders will take
grounds of the Drill Shed.
Carriages will enter either through
the Richards street or Hotel street en-
trance and will be assigned their posi-
ton.
The bicycle division will assemble on
the sidewalk between the Capitol and
the corner of King and Richards
streets.
When the parade is formed the pro-
cession will move out the main en-
trance on King street, down King to
Bishop, through Bishop to Hotel, along
Hotel to Richards, up Richards to Be-
retania, out Beretania to Punchbowl,
down Punchbowl to King, out King to
McCully, along McCully to Beretania
and thence along Beretania to the base
bali grounds.
Permission having been secured for
the use of the baseball grounds the
judging and awarding of prizes will be
held at that place, where the exhibi-
tions of riding and driving will also be
given.
1t is proposed to charge a general
admission fee of 25 cents with an ap-
propriate price for reserved seats and
private boxes.
The general divisions of the parade
will be
Automobiles.
Vehicles,

Pedestrians.
1t is proposed to divide the automo-
bile division into three sections, light !
md heavy touring cars and runa bouts |

sections, light vehicles and floats. The |
'iders also into two sections, pau rid |

1t is suggested that three judges be /
appointed for each division, Two sets
# judges being appointed for the auto
mobiles, one set for eacn section. Each
et of judges to consist of three, one
nan and two ladies.
1t has been suggested also that it
would possibly be advisable to appoint
wo sets of judges for the riders. one
or the pau riders and one for other
han pau riders.
Last year some cash prizes were Civ
n to the riding division, that is to the
a-u riders, Juvenile pau riders, cow

econd prizes for other riders. and red,
White and blue ribbons were given to
he winners in the vehicle division.
Red, white and blue flags were given
s prizes for automobiles, tableau
oats and school floats.
This year it will be necessary to give
pecial prizes to the special represent

iven on practically the same lines as
ist year.
