THE FLORAL
PROCESSION
Arrangement for Parade
Festivities on the
Morrow.

The formation of the Floral Parade
on Friday will take place in the Capitol
grounds, the line moving out the King
street gate of the executive grounds,
past the judges reviewing stand ON the
steps of the Opera House, along King
street to Bishop street past the Yodng
Hotel to Hotel street, thence along
Hotel to Richards street, up Richards
street to Central Union church, thence
along Beretania to Miller street, up
Miller street to the side entrance of
the Queens Hospital grounds, through
the Hospital grounds and down Punch
bowl street to King, thence out King
to McCully street, up McCully street
to Beretania avenue and out Beretania
avenue to the baseball grounds.
The automobile section, which will
be the last section in the parade, will
be cut off from the balance of the
parade at the corner of Beretania and
Punchbowl street and will proceed out
Beretania avenue to Thomas square,
thence down Kapiolani to King and
out King street.
This break in the formation will
transfer the automobiles section from
the last to the first place in the parade
and will enable the automobiles to get
to the baseball grounds far enough in
advance of the rest of the parade to
circle in front of the grandstand and
take their places before the arrival of
the horses and carriages. This will
also keep the parade formation unit
through the center of town and at
the same time enable the automobiles
to get to the parade grounds in ad-
: vance of the teams, thus avoiding con
fusion with the horses.
There will be an informal reception
to those taking part in the parade on
the evening of Washington's birthday
at the Hawaiian Hotel, followed by
an informal dance. 1t is the desire
of the committee to have the automo-
biles and different vehicles drawn up
in the roadway in front of the hotel
to add to the brilliancy of the scene.
Mr.. Bews, manager of the hotel, will
have the hotel in full gala attire and
expects that the informality of this
reception will induce all those par
ticipating in the parade to attend.
The horse and carriage section of
the parade in charge of Mr.. Robert
Shingle, will present some spectacular
features at the baseball grounds at
(which place the judging of the equip
ment, horses and driving will take
place. Last year there was keen
rivalry between the eight-horse tally
hos driven by Mr.. E. H. Lewis and
Mr.. Ben Gallagher, both expert drivers.
This year the same drivers will COM
pete and the somewhat restricted area
at the baseball grounds will result in
some close driving of these multiple
teams which it would be difficult to
duplicate even on the narrow mountain
roads of California. Mr.. Lewis was
the prize winner last year and it is
understood that Mr.. Gallagher does not
propose to take second place again.
The tallyho driven by f. III. Lewis
will carry the Hawaiian Band and the
one driven by Mr.. Gallagher win carry
guests from the Hawaiian Hotel.
There will be a four-horse tallyho
driven by Mr.. VIM. Bellina, which will
carry Mrs. weatherred and her West
ern Tours party. Mrs. weatherred was
in the parade last year with the Oregon
girls.
There will be a four-horse float en-
tered by the Kilohana Art League This
promises to be a very unique feature
and will contain some of the spectaeu-
lar features of the last Mardi Gras.
There are several other entries of traps, |
buggies, teams, spans, etc, to be an
nouneed later.
Mr.. Andrade, in charge of the pau
section, has had some difficulty In OBJ
tanning saddles and anyone who has
English -or Australian saddles Will
greatly oblige the committee by tele-
phoning Mr.. Andrade, Main $50, and
loaning him the same.
JUDGES MEET TODAY.
The committee has requested the |
judges. and extends a further request
through the press that they meet the
chairman in the parlors of the Young
Hotel of the office floor at IL a. m
Thursday, to discuss the method OF
procedure in judging.
