There is widespread inquiry for
horses and from present indications it
would appear that every available sad
die horse in Honolulu and vicinity will
appear in the parade.
The pau section will have about
sixty or seventy riders and some of
the streets of Honolulu were brilliant
yesterday with the colors of the pa-us.
Several clubs were out in force accus-
toming their horses to the flowing ends
of the pau skirts. Mr.. Frank Andrade
has this section of the parade in charge
and he has already received from the
ranches along the Oahu railway more
than thirty horses. They are now
stabbed at the Club Stables ready for
the riders 1t will be vast amount
of work to get these horses accustomed
to carrying riders with Tapping pa-us.
These horses will have to be clipped,
shod, and put in fit shape for work
next Friday.
Many of the older pau riders have
been busy instructing the younger girls
how to adjust the pau. There seems
to be a wide difference of opinion as
to what constitutes a perfect pau cos
tune. This difference is due to the
fact that different Hawaiian monarchs
adopted slightly different costumes for
their pau riders. Some rode without
n hot apd othars without n oIoaL or
kepuka. There was also quite diff
ference in the kepukas which were
worn, some being circular capes fitted
to yokes and trimmed with passemen-
terie the material being cloth, satin
or velvet and the color usually black.
Another form was simply square
piece of broadcloth, usually black in
color and about six feet square with
hole cut in the center through which
the head was passed and the corners
hung down in front, behind and one on
each side. Other riders wore no cloak,
but Wore short apron. There will
be several clubs participating and some
of these clubs will wear the same kind |
of pau. Arrangements are being made
to get some very good pictures of the
pau and other riders before the march
begins. Mr.. Geo. Denison expects to
arrange his formation around the
Capitol building in such way that
panoramic pictures and individual pic
lures can be taken of the automo-
biles, carriages and horseback riders.
Mr.. Trent reports for the automobile
committee that he is getting great
many entries. Several auto cars have
been placed at his disposal and the
committee will furnish a car for the
press. The press will decorate this
car and will probably enter it for
prize.
Kamehameha school proposes to dec
,rate a car and other schools have
their willingness to do the
'ame, but have not reached final de-
,ision. An effort will be made to have
he Castle kindergarten enter an auto
,ar Enthusiastically decorated and
carrying children of several different
from the school.
Mr.. James r. Judd, through profes-
ional engagements is not able to act
IS judge for the riding division and
Mr.. w. A. Greenwell will act in his
,lace.
Harold Dillingham; has taken charge
# the riders other than pau. All
he society people who own horses and '
ide have entered or are to enter in
his division.
Five prizes have been offered for
icycles. This is new feature of the
arade this year and it is hoped that
his division will add materially as
decorative feature.
The committee have had many in
uiries for pictures of automobiles and
ehicles in last years parade and have
ranged with Mr.. Wood of the Pro-
iotion committee that any automobile
wner or carriage owner who desires a b
icture may obtain copy of the spe- :,
