Chairman and Members of the Hawaii
Promotion Committee.
Gentlemen:-I am pleased to report
that the photographs sent out illustrat-
ing our last Floral Parade have been
widely published. A recent number of
Golfers Weekly contained four of the
pictures. They have also appeared in
two different numbers of Frank Les
lies Weekly being published as well in
the leading Automobile Journals
throughout the Country. 1t is impos
sible to say how many hundreds q
thousands of people have had their at
tention directed to Hawaii-at least
momentarily-by this event
The hundreds of copies of our daily
papers, describing the Annual Floral
Eastern and Middle West part of the
United States, as well as the western
part of Canada, a 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 sue
cessful.
1t is a great source of satisfaction to
know that steamship conditions are as
Stunning a more satisfactory outlook.
The Pacific Mail Steamship Company
will soon have the "Manchuria" on the
run again and the officials of this COM

of trying to get their through passen-
gers to stop over with us for ten days
or two weeks.

their very comfortable boat, the "Hilo-
MAN." in the passenger trade, The
Americana Hawaiian Steamship Com

Pacific Coast Manager of this line, says
that the latest addition to their fleet of
steamers, he "Virginian," is being ar
ranged with special reference to the
Honolulu trade. She will be fitted up
at first for 100 first cabin passengers
