WEEKLY LETTER Of
PROMOTION SECRETARY

Gentlemen: I am pleased to report
that. the photographs sent out Illus
trating our last Floral Parade have
been widely published. A recent num-
Der of Golfers Weekly contained four
of the pictures. They have also APP
peared in two different numbers of
Frank Leslies Weekly being published
as we'll in the leading Automobile
Journals throughout the country It is
impossible to say how many hundreds
of thousands of people have had their
attention directed TO Hawaii-at least
momentarily-by this event.
The hundreds of copies of our daily
papers, describing the annual Floral
| Parade, that we sent throughout the
eastern and middle western part of the
| United States, as we'll as the western
| part of Canada, short circular letter
accompanying the papers, which were
| addressed to the editors of a carefully
selected list of papers, have secured for
us a great many favorable notices We
| handled the Los Angeles Excursion in
the same way and have no doubt but
| the result will prove equally success
| full
| 1t is great source of satisfaction to
know that steamship conditions are
assuming a more satisfactory outlook.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will soon have the Manchuria on the
run again and the officials of this COM
pany promise TO do more in the way
of trying to get their through passen-
gers to stop over with us for ten days
or two weeks.
OF the Oceanic line, the old reliable
Alameda continues to make her regu-
lar trips and though we have for the
present, at least, lost the benefits of
the Colonial service of this company,
their best boat, the Sierra, has been
placed on the Honolulu-San Francisco
run. Her trips are being extensively
advertised on the Pacific Coast, which |
must add considerably to travel this |
way during what ordinarily might be |
expected to be a dull season. The |
Matson Navigation Company now have |
their very comfortable boat, the Iilo-
MAN, in the passenger trade. The
Observation-Disclosures Steamship Com
pany are operating the Nevadan regu-
larly between San Francisco and Ho-
nolulu. A letter from Mr.. c. w. Cook, Il
Pacific Coast manager of this line, Il

ing arranged with special reference to
the Honolulu trade She will be fitted
up at first for $50 first-class cabin pas
sengers, two berths to a state-room

paratus. Mr.. Scott says further that,
The Virginian is about SO feet in
