fISHMARKET
DesiQn for the Ornamental
Entrance to Mckinley
Building

c. H. Dickey, the president of the
Buckeye Club, is desirous of adding
his statement of approval of the Kilo-
hama Art Leagues plan about the
ishmarket to that of Governor Cleg-
horTrs published in Sundays Adver-
| tiser.
After reading the statement of Mr..
Cleghorn about the proposed use of
the hshmarket. want to say that
heartily agree with him in each and
every statement" said Mr.. Dickey to
a reporter.
''As president of the Buckeye Club.
| am in favor of the plan to make
this the Mckinley Memorial Pavilion.
| Il do not coincide with the action
| of the Civtc Federation in the elm
| mating of the Mckinley memorial
arch part of the design.
while I was absent on Maui, the
Civic Federation committee held a
meeting, and had I been present !
should have opposed the action taken
| by the majority of this committee. II
| this fiishmarket is enclosed by wall OF
bougainvillea growing on aviary wire
and the beautiful arch built Of Hawai-
| ian rough stone, as shown in the
plans, the city will have an added
| beauty spot and a very useful place IN
| which to hold large gatherings and
give large entertainments.
t'The city has needed just such
convenience for many years, and the
Buckeye Club by its resolution has
shown hearty endorsement of it. This
is a beautiful place just as it is. 1t
is only marred by the iron shades on
the makai side. These would be re-
moved when the arched entrance is
built.
How about the acoustics? Will you
stand here. while I go into the middle
of the building and try them?' Here
Mr.. Dickey left the party at the fish
market of which he was a member
and. going over the smooth cement
/ floor to point about two hundred feet
away, spoke in his ordinary conver-
sational voice and was distinctly
heard The acoustics are perfect.
BUCKEYE CLUB LETTER.
The following is the letter sent by
the secretary of the Buckeye Club to
the Mckinley Memorial Committee
this week:
To the Members of the Mckinley Me-
mortal Committee.
Dear Sirs: For several years it has
been the ambition of the Buckeye
Club to establish a Mckinley memo
rial in Honolulu, which would be a
tribute to the character as well as to
the memory of our martyred Presi-
dent. William Mckinley.
The numerous plans which have been
suggested to the Buckeye Club pre-
vious to and following the organiza-
ton of your honorable committee have
all contained some part commendable,
but no plan has met with the unani-
nous approval that has the one sug-
gested by the City Improvement Cir
Gle of the Kilohana Art League.
We beg that while this building is
being held by the government for some
good or any public purpose, your hon
orable committee spare no time in
addressing the Governor and the Su-
perintendent of Public Works. We
would not presume to suggest this
haste in the matter, did we not know
of the extremely friendly attitude of
the officials towards making the Nc
Kinley memorial one worthy of the
memary~ of so choice man.
A~ 1t gave the members of the Buckeye
Club a great pleasure to read the de-
scription of the details to be used in
changing the present market place into
tropical pavilion, for the idea of
having memorial which would aid
in the pleasure and recreation OF the
people, and especially of the children,
