steamers, or anything of this sort that
you like, or possibly the surf boats of
which we hear so much. 1t seems to
me an admirable opportunity to do
something which many distinguished
people will see in Mr.. Clemens home.
AS it will be in the billiard room We
could set aside the staid character
that would be necessary in drawing
room and make this manteIpiece, if
necessary, fantastic.
II take the liberty of forwarding all
this matter merely as a suggestion, but
you will find on the sketches the ex-
act sizes of the brick fireplace as now
built and anything that fits this will
do.

the mantelpiece. it is perfectly possi-

'.As you know, the mantelpiece sets
in the corner of the room.
There is no hurry for the finished
work, as a simple nantel shelf now
occupies this position, which we will
discard on receiving your work.
The letter and plans were turned
over to Willard Brown, who has the
matter in hand for the committee, it
being understood that he would con-
suit with those in a position to SUBJ
NIT definite plan or plans with figures
of cost, after which the matter will be
pushed right through.
FLORAL PARADE POSTERS.
1t was decided to begin the advertis-
ing of the Floral Parade for February
% next, several months in advance of
the event, in order to give it the pub
Iicity on the mainland that it deserved
but which it did not get this year. An
artistic poster will be struck off to be
sent ali over the Union in September
or October this fall and in order to
secure a good design it was resolved
to offer a prize of fifty dollars for the
best one submitted before August 1.
1t was not decided as to who would
do the judging, this Gordian knot be-
ing left uncut for the present.
BEAUTIFYING THE IIARBOR EN-
TRANCE.
w. e. Brown, at the suggestion of
]. r. Gait, asked what steps could be
taken for the identifying of the harbor
entrance by the planting of trees and
grass on the naval reserve spit and
the sand island now piling up ON the
EVA side of the entrance. The adj
visibility of the Improvement was
agreed with but the possibility of do
ing anything at the present time, espe
cially on the sand island, where
gun battery is to be installed accord
ing TO the plans of Captain Orwell,
was doubted. Secretary Wood will
take the matter up with the proper
army and naval authorities, however.
During this discussion it was stated
that Mr.. Isenberg had offered to supply
all the cocoanut trees required for the
planting of the two sand fats.
GENERAL MATTERS.
Secretary Wood called attention to
communication appearing in the Ad-
vertiser of Wednesday, which stated
that no effort was made, apparently,
to let the outside world know that liv-
ing was cheap in Hawaii and that good
boarding houses could be found here.
Mr.. Wood stated that this was dis
tinctly not the case, the effort of the
Promotion Committee being to give the
very information that the communica-
ton said was being withheld.
William Wider, who is running the
moving picture exhibition at the Or
pheum, stated that he would take his
outfit to San Francisco and show Ha-
waiian views if the committee would
hire him and pay his transportation
