ARRANGEMENTS MADE
FOR FLORAL PARADE
Many New Features Will
Be Included This
Year

A meeting of the committee in
charge of the Floral Parade, which is
| to be held on Washington's Birthday,
was held in the Office of Chairman A..
Gartley at the Hawaiian Electric
Light Co. offices yesterday afternoon
at o'clock. Those present, besides
Chairman Gartley, were Messrs. Hen
ry Il. Cooper, George r. Carter, Wal
ter Dillingham;, sydney M. Ballou,
A. +. Grifilths, and w. Greenwell.
At the suggestion of Carter, Sam
Johnson will be made the marshal of
the parade, he being, In the opinion
of the committee, the best man avail
able for the position. Many other
names were brought up, but as they
lacked the necessary military quail
fications, johnson was selected. OF
course, johnson will have to be seen,
subsequent to securing the consent OF
Col. Jones, who will have to be seen
about the matter.
All the big automobiles will be dec
Grated with the American and Ha-
waiian flags, while the small cars
will be decked with the flags of all
nations.
Gartley said that Mrs. Wilder and
Mrs. Tenney were already preparing
decorations for their cars, while Clar-
ence Cooke and X. d. Mead have sig
nified their willingness to assist in
the parade.
The committee intends to have
three divisions this year, consisting
of comic section, touring section, and
the float section. The Customs Ser
vice, the Postofiice, the immigration
Service, and the Marine Hospital Ser
vice will be asked to take part. Col
lector Stackable had been seen and
II is expected that his brothers auto
mobile will be used with display of
samples Of imported goods.
DR.. Brinckerhoff and DR.. Sinclair
have as passengers some helpers in
the office. Their cars, which will be
beautifully decorated, will bear the
banner of the NJ. II. S. The Post
Office car is uncertain, in that it is
not known positively that the boys
| will be able to turn out on that day.
| Steamers may be in then. The u. s.
Immigration Service car will be a
most interesting one. 1t will contain
ganuine immigrants, including men
and women of all the nationalities
that have come to this country.
Prominent among them will be Jap
anese, Chinese, Porto Ricans, Span
iards, Portuguese, Filipinos, and 9TH
er nationalities. The decorations oil
the car will be the colors and flags
of the respective nations of its occu-
pants and their attires will be those
that they wear in their native lands.
The lei women have consented to dec
crate this car with flowers. II was
proposed to give only two classes OF
prizes for the decorated autos - for
touring cars and for runabouts. The
comic section will be given special
prizes.
The Island Princesses division this
year will be far more elaborate than
that of last year. Hon. c. A. Rice OF
Kauai, Eben Low, Christian Conradt
OF" Molokai, ID. C.. Lindsay and G. ID
Lufkin of Maui have been communi.
Gated with to look after and select
Processes for their Islands. Miss
Cornwell Of Maui won the first prize
last year and will doubtless make an
other attempt to win IL again this
year. The affairs of the Oahu Prin'
cess, who will probably be Miss EN-
ma Rose, will be looked after by Mr.
q. p. Wilder. Some members of the
committee, however, said after tn,
meeting that Oahu should be repre-
scented by Princess Oahu-born.
Mrs. George X. Carter has kindly
consented to loan her beautiful ami
NAL to the Oahu Princess. 1t is eX
pected that Molokai will be repre-
sented by Mrs. Charles Hartwell.
An entirely new feature this veal
will be the presentation of the Ma
tional Division. II Is expected tina
every Consul stationed here will rem
der assistance towards making thi
years Floral Parade the best and tn,
most attractive that has ever paradet
the streets of Honolulu. S. M. Bal
lou was appointed a committee of on,
to consult the several Consuls.
1t is, possible that the Federal Gov
eminent cars will fall in with tn
American section.
The pau riders section will be
difficult one to handle. Frank An
drade, who so successfully handle,
1t last year, has consented to assls
the committee again. The riders
section will be under the care of MI
Greenwell, who was himself a judg
of the riders last year.
Prof. Grifiths of oahu College will
manage the school section. This ais
is new division and will includ
colleges, Government and privat
schools. There is to be no competi
ton among the school cars or floats
