share of the entertainment.
Mr.. McStocker stated that there
might be chances to prune estimates.
The churches had promised to make
no charge for what use might be made
of their buildings by the men for let
ter writing.
How much are the saloons going to
charge for the use of their buildings?"
asked George r. Carter.
Mr.. Peck finally got the floor and
stated that the finance committee had
carefully talked over the matter of
subscriptions and had decided that
fifteen thousand was about the size
of the town. Continuing his remarks,
he stated that he wanted to have
committee appointed with some power
to do something, suggesting that the
present executive committee he re-
named the Governors Committee and
that another executive committee with
power to veto and decide be APP
pointed.
This motion, after being plastered
with amendments. was finally passed
in such shape that the dominant COM
mittee consists of the following: Act
ing Governor Mott-Smith, James F.
Morgan, George w. Smith, J. p.
Cooke, II. P. Wood and L. Tenney
Peck
George r. Carter thought this was
a good committee for the pruning and
eliminating business. THE most mis-
cradle three months I ever spent in
my life was in cutting down esti-
mates" he said. 1T is easier to boost
them than to cut them out"
p. B. McStocker stated that the sue
cess of the entertainment did not de-
pend on the number of dollars spent,
anyway, but on the spirit in which it
was carried out.
THE "ATLANTIC'' FLEET.
Judge Cooper suggested that now
the committees were getting down to
business it was time to commence call
ing the fleet by it's right name. So far
it has been known on the committee
stationery and correspondence as the
Pacific Fleet" whereas the proper
name was the atlantic Fleet" The
Judge did not want to have the street
banners and invitations and other
printed matter all wrong when the
ships got here.
The chairman agreed with him, ex-
planning, however. that the wish to
have it a Pacific fleet probably
brought about the mistake.
HOOKUPU AND BALL.
Some of the general features of the
entertainment were then discussed,
the proposal for a grand hookupu in
the Capitol grounds being received
ba
raised of the ability of the island to
supply sixteen thousand men with all
the fruit they wanted to eat and carry
away. IF we can" said Mr.. Carter,
1T will be better than anything else
that has been suggested g
Mr.. Carter outlined what he thought
ought to be done. which was to have
five or six large booths under charge
Of prominent ladies and with plenty
of young lady assistants to hand out
fruit. sugar cane, cocoanuts and other
local edibles as fast as the men called
for it. He was pleased with the Idea,
because it would give everybody
chance to contribute fruit who might
not be able to otherwise contribute,
and it was as we'll an affair typically
Hawaiian.
There was some little discussion con-
corning the officers ball, the general
concensus of opinion being that such
an affair should be A subscription one,
while the dances for the enlisted men
should be public functions paid for
out Of the general fund.

On motion, the heads Of all commit
tees were told to get busy by the COM
mittee in command and TO hand in
before the end Of the week their ten
tative programs, with preliminary and
approximate estimates Of costs.
