/ The Entertainment Committee of the
Fleet Committee held a meeting at the
foffce of the chairman, Fred L. Wal
dron yesterday morning. 1t was
planned that a daily special train on
ithe Oahu Railway be arranged for the
benefit of the men of the fleet with a
round trip rate of seventy-fiye. cents.
| Three particular plans for entertain
ment were mapped out. One includes
the F'ishmarket reception affairs, an
other the Pearl Harbor and Kapena
! Falls excursions, and the third the gar
den party at Waikiki beach. For the
/ Pearl Harbor trip it was proposed that
some of. the officers be taken down by
steamer and part by automobile, and
that on the return those who came by
auto go back by steamer and vice
versa. Thus all will have view of
both approaches.
For the garden party at Waikiki
beach it is proposed to utilize both the
Seaside and the Moana hotels. 1t is
proposed to bridge the stream between
the two with an ornamental bridge,
and the proposition was also made that
Waikiki road from King street to the
hotels be illuminated. A dancing lanai
will be erected at each hotel

NOT so MANY OFFICERS.
Captain Carter, speaking of the re-
port that 1000 officers of the fleet were
entertained at Rio de Janeiro said the
number was greatly exaggerated. All
told there are not one-third that total
of commissioned officers on the battle
ships and torpedo boats combined
There may have been 2000 people at
the Rio banquet, but the majority were
doubtless Brazilian and American resi-
dents of the city.
