who cheered the various striking
floats as they passed.
Punahou College grounds were
crowded long before the parade arriv-
ed, and a handsome sum must have
been realized as an entrance fee of 20
cents was charged.
The judges of the various divisions
had places roped off for them on the
Eva terrace of Bishop Hall and about
this the crowd assembled in a dense
throng. The police kept the drive in
+ front of the judges stand clear, how
ever, and the parade reviewed slowly
before this.
After the winners had been announc-
ed by the judges, these returned over
the course in review and as they pass
ed they were photographed by Bonine
with his moving picture outfit. The
lsun was shining brightly the while,
and conditions presaged an unusually
successful set of films.
The Oahu College pageant, which at
tracted a great deal Of attention, was
reproduction of the May-day parade
given by the pupils of Punahou last
| spring.
| A few minutes after ten o'clock the
| bugle call to start was sounded by
| Joe Leal mounted on a prancing charg-
| er, and the third annual Floral Par
! ade was in motion. Charles f. Chill
! Ilingsworth mounted on a gray horse
assisted by l.. Petrie led the parade
/ followed by five young men mounted
on bicycles, the cycle decorations
| being very good. One tandem was
supposed to represent a boat, the en-
| tire hull being done in red and white
, while the riders were dressed as sail
Ors. Following the bicycle riders came
the island princesses headed by Miss
/ Emma Rose, who looked very we'll
with her herald and other members of
her suite. Next came the princesses
! Of Maui, Oahu and Kauai in the or
der named. After the princesses came
the pau riders in command of Judge
| Frank Andrade, followed by a large
number of other riders consisting Of
Punahou riders. cow boys, juvenile
pau riders and others mounted on
prapcing steeds.
After the parade had wheeled into

Nuuanu to Vineyard, through Vine
yard to the Queens Hospital grounds
to Punchbowl street, where the autos
mobile section left the other part Of
tbC Daradp and DrOcpp1pd IN tho pima

The rest of the parade marched
down Punchbowl to King, and out to

Chinese Minister to Washington
Wu Ting Fang was today invited to
address the Commercial Club at 1880
o'clock. Preparations were made for
a great crowd of prominent citizens,
the tables in the sky dining hall of
the McCandless building being pret-
tily and simply decorated with carna-
tions in vases in which also tiny
crossed American and Chinese flags
were in evidence.
In the center of the main table.
at which Minister Wu sat, was plac-
ed a large pineapple surmounted by
carnations and bearing little flags of
China and the United States, the base
of the fruit being surrounded with
white and red carnations, violets and
evergreen.
At l o'clock the big dining hall was
jammed and there was an overflow in
the Railways and parlOrs, the arrange
ment finally being the seating of but
one gentleman at a table, the rest of
the space being given to the ladies'.
WI is immensely popular with the la
dies.
Minister WI was seated at the head
of the chamber with Governor Frear
and the soup was passed at Ill

diplomats from the Celestial Empire
their families, twenty-iour students,
and five servants, siXty-four in the

arrived in the Pacific Nal steamship

Wu started his immediate local fame
this morning when the doctors OF the
United States Public Health and Ma
rine Hospital Service had boarded the
liner outside to inspect the big crowd

Always careful, the doctors are keep
ing a particularly sharp lookout on
vessels from the Orient nowadays, on
account Of plague, smallpox and cho-

The passengers were lined up on

Stewards We're sent hustIing through
the great ship to find His EXcellency
and after a while he was discovered
in his most honorable nudity, enjoying
the pleasures of a bath.
He was informed that the doctors
would like to take a look at him. Wu
