Hawaii.
A number of interesting matters
were brought before the Hawaii Pro-
motion Committee at the meeting heiu
yesterday afternoon. Secretary WOOD
made his usual weekly report showing
the work which had been done ana
read a number of letters which were
of special interest. Among these was
one from General Passenger Agent A.
G. D. Kerrill, of the Pacific Mail steam
ship Co. in which it was stated that the
prospects for travel across the Paclnc
from now on were unusually GOOD ana
that the advance bookings were very |
heavy. From this fact Mr.. Wood stat
ed it seemed likely that many more
tourists might be expected to visit Ho-
nolulu during the present season.
A litter from Lloyd Childs, the agent.
of the Promotion Committee in Los
Angeles. was read in which he stated
that he expected that the moving pic
ture films, which were taken by Bo-
| nine when here last year. would reach
los Angeles soon and that he was
planning two entertainments Whlcn
| would be given with them. Inc nrse
would be one to which the mem oers
of the Chamber of Commerce and tnelr
friends only would be invited and the
