PARADERS ARE
GETTING BUSY

than on other years. Already commit
nications have been sent to Represen-
tative c. A. Rice, of Kauai; to Eben
Low, now on Hawaii; to Christian
Conrad, of Molokai, and to D. c. Lind
say and C. D. Lufkin, and to the Maui
Improvement committee, to arrange
for the choosing of the most beautiful
girl of the respective islands for the
parade. Maui won the first prize last
year in this event and will doubtless
endeavor to send over as charming a
representative to uphold their claims
for the best again. Gerrit P. Wilder
can be depended upon to see that no
detail is lacking to bring this section
of the parade up to expectations.
An entirely new feature this year
will be the national division, or the
All Nation division. The general COM
mittee has not as yet settled on an
appropriate designation Of this, expect
ed to be one of the best features of
the day, and an invitation is extended
to the public to assist by suggesting
some appropriate title. Postcard sug-
gestions will be welcomed by Chair
man Gartley. The intention is to have
represented by float or automobile each
one of the several nationalities that
make up the population of Honolulu.
s. M. Ballou is in charge of the ar
rangements for this and will take up
the matter Immediately with the sew
eral consuls. America is to be repre-
scented in a very fitting way, although
no definite plans have been adopted
the Federal government cars will go
in with the American section in this
division.
The .past successes of the pau divi-
sion of the parade have been due al
most entirely to Frank Andrade, and
the committee is to be congratulated
in having again secured his services,
guaranteeing the success of this most
picturesque part of the parade.
Mr.. Greenwell was a judge of the
riders last year and in assuming
charge of this section this year brings
a familiarity of what is needed and
an excellent Judgment to bear. He
expects to call in some of the mem
bers of the polo club to his assistance
and number of the society leaders
who include equestrianism among
their accomplishments.
Another new division is that for the
schools and colleges, and already the
idea of being represented among the
celebraters has been taken up with
enthusiasm by several of the public |
schools and nearly all the colleges.
There is to be no competition among
these cars or floats. That is, no prizes
will be awarded, but the natural ri
valry to carry their colors through sue
cessfully when pitted against the
others will bring out some good ideas
and results. Professor Griffiths of Pu-
nahou will manage this section of the |
parade, of which fuller details will be |
announced very shortly.
One of the most difficult tasks has |
been assigned to A. J. Campbell, that |
of the carriage section. There are a
number of lovers of good horsefesh in |
the city, however, who will probably /
rally to Mr.. Campbelrs assistance. One
good horseman can not leave another |
in the lurch, and Mr.. Campbell is
certainly well fitted for the task of |
making this section a success if any
thing can.
A considerable task has been as
signed to John Hughes, a task in /
which much of the success of the day
is involved, that of proper arrange
ments for the judging and the display
ing of the paraders before the grand
stand. Mr.. Hughes is a worker, how
ever, and the arrangements can saIeIy
be LETT 10 him.
One thing that made the celebration
of Washington birthday so success
full last year was the hospitabIe man
ner in which the various CLUBS and
societies entertained the paraaers after
their turnout. The committee has
great hopes that the cluos Win 40
likewise this year and has appointed
henry h. cooper to take up the mat
ter with the various boards OF gov
errors of the clubs.
From now on there will be steady,
hard work done for the parade and
nothing is to be left undone which
will make the affair the success which
the committee is looking forward to
