The full membership of the Promo
tion Committee was present at th'
regular meeting Yesterday afternoon

there was sincere interest shown in the
various questions coming up. The com
mittee seems t, have overcome the
lethargy which had settled over it dur
ing the past few months and there
seems to be a general reawakening OF
interest on the part of all concerned
The principal discussion yesterday
centered about the necessity of keeping
up the active advertising campaign be-
ing made throughout the northwest and
in western Canada. Already the COM
mittee has done much work through
out these sections, but it was decided
yesterday to extend the campaign still
further and commence work particu-
larIy in the cities of Minneapolis, St.
Paul, Denver. Salt Lake. Ogden and
the other northwest centers and in
Manitoba. Saskatchewan. Alberta and
British Columbia. in Canada. As a re-
suit of the work already done there,
the Secretary showed a sheaf of let
tiers of inquiry which had been received

FLORAL PARADE ADVERTISING.
Upon motion of J. L. Mclean the
secretary was authorized to arrange for
u g.. tcyfY
of the Floral Parade of 1908 on the
mainland. In support of his motion
Mr.. Mclean urged that the advertis-
ing matter for the event ought to be
out in good time so that the posters
could be up in the tourist centers for
at least two months before the date
of the floral fiesta.
1t is the intention this year for the
committee to prepare something out of
the ordinary for their poster and the
secretary will be pleased to hear sug-
gestions from designers and artists for
the work. It has been suggested that
the members of the Kilohana Art
League and any other artists of the
town might take this matter up and
possibly submit designs to the COM
mittee.
WANT THE FLEET TO STAY.
Among other things the chairman
and secretary were authorized to see
the members of the Regatta Day COM
mittee and suggest that they bring to
the attention of Admiral Dayton tho
regatta events to take place on the
21st, urging him to remain here until
after that date in order that his men

presence of the cruisers in the harbor
during that day would add greatly to
the event and substantial prizes for
number of events for the sailors could
probably easily be raised.
