the main entrance of the grounds,
where the street car lines end, straight
to the front door of the Hawaii build
ing. The building faces the central
Cascade Court of the exposition, and
on the other three sides are Chandelar,
Vancouver and Hawaii avenues. The
building Is to be much finer than that
planned for the Philippines. and will
compare very favorably with those now
building for Oregon, Washington and
California.
Locally, the plans for the Hawaiian
exhibit are going ahead in splendid
shape. Lloyd Childs yesterday returned
from Kauai, where he spent several
days in arranging for the manufacture
of a number of fine lauhala mats for
the building and in visiting the schools
to create interest among the children

exhibit is being arranged for by Super
intendent Babbitt, and promises to be
something distinctly ereditable to Ha-
wall.
DR.. Wilcox is in general charge of
the agricultural exhibition. with the
exception of the pineapple section,
which is looked after by the pineapple
men themselves, and possibly the sugar
section, which viii be planned and pre-

has not as yet named the committee to
have charge of this work, but expects
to do so next week.

some twelve or fourteen feet high.
made from fresh pines, and with a
sisal topknot, be built up as the cen
trail feature of the Hawaiian exhibit,
with counters arranged around it for
the sale of sliced pines. A miniature
pineapple field and canned pines in at

this exhibit, to look after which a
force of fourteen persons will be en-

The school exhibit is well under way
The principals of the Honolulu schools |
have had two meetings with Superin |
tendent Babbitt already in the matter,
and Mr.. Childs expects to have a CON

1t is the intention of the commits |

collections in Honolulu It is possible,
too, that the Bishop Museum trustees
will be asked to help this exhibit by
