ers with an abundance or green trim
mings This scheme was carried out
on the trap and harness Of the horses.
Everything was harmonious and as
Mr. Smith passed the stand he receiv-
ed generous recognition from the
crowd
Treasurer Campbell drove a pair
with n surrey decorated with hibiscus
flowers in magenta. 1t was grand
scheme well carried through and much
admired. Mr.. Campbell showed to
advantage as a whip and he was, like
Mr.. Smith. justly applauded. Ths
stockyards stable talyho followed,
with L. II. Lewis on the box. He had
the Hawaiian band and as the fierce
notes of the 3 fat cornet were heard
one had but to close his eyes and In
his mind appeared the elephants ana
camels of the circus parade. Lewis
on the box was worth while and the
eight grey horses driven by him obey
ed the ribbons perfectly. The alb
sence of floral decorations was notice
able but Lewis may have felt that such
fine animals needed no adornment Gus.
Schuman and his daughter in double
rig, decorated lightly with lilies, cap
tured the crowd Immediately. There
were few lilies on the wheels, nothing
on the harness and little on the box,
but the effect of the little that waA
there was splendid.
Mrs. weatherred and her Western
Tours party from the Coast were in
tallyho. The decorations were be-
coming and the ladies won the audi
ence by the smiles on the countenances
which seemed to indicate that they
were satisfied with Honolulu, and the
people. Another tallyho of the Ha'
waiian hotel was in line and was
prettily decorated. Manager Bews
was on the box and Ben Gallagher
held the lines. The Kilohana Art
League was represented by a group |
of beautiful young ladies illustrating
Music, Literature, Art, Civic Improve
ment and Drama, seated in hall OF
fame. The idea was good one and
was faithfully carried out. The cos
tunes of the ladies We're Grecian ana
in keeping with the general idea OF the
float. The ten young ladies in the tap
leau were Misses Alice Hopper. Corde-
liza Gilman, Ethel Spalding, Helen
North, Erma Ballentyne. Marie Bal
lentyne, Alice Spalding, Ruth McChes-
ney and Edith Smith, two of each rep
resenting the five branches of the
League, each couple symbolizng their
part in their costumes.
one of the prettiest conceptions was
the Konohi float, in which the lttie
Gilman children posed as Chinese, eff
fectively dressed in complete costumes
of the nation. John C. Cook, cashier
of Davies & Co, drove a 'ansom cab
and looked the part of the real thina
from 'Lunnon" He was fine whip
and as he drove around the plat in
front of the stand he was literally APP
plauded. For fares he had two gen.
tlemen of the firm and to carry out
the scheme one of them was engaged

Chinese Athletic club had a float that
was worthy of special mention. The
onlv single rig in line was driven by
S. S. Paxton. He had spirited morse
which he handled well. The dec'ra-
lions of his carriage were limited to
the national colors on the wheels. w.
Montrose Graham had a chestnut team
with the carriage trimmed with PINK
flowers, with him being Mrs. Graham. ,

JUDGING.
The Judging of the different exhibits
progressed slowly. There was too
much elegance in each class to war
ant any rapid movement that would
suggest a slight, or lack of discrimina- Z
ion. There was a tense feeling dur j
ng the time the judges were consid-
,ring the riders more than at any other 3
stage of the proceeding for there were 4
many good and few poor ones. The )
irst to be called into line were the Z
Processes. Under instructions from
he chairman the herald for Maui rode (
