COMMITTEES ARE
LAYING PLANS

The Entertainment Committee Of the
Fleet Committee held a meeting at the
office of the chairman. Fred l. Wal
dron yesterday morning. 1t was
planned that a daily special train on
the Oahu Railway be arranged for the
benefit of the men of the fleet with a
round trip rate Of seventy-five cents.
Three particular plans for entertain
ment were mapped out. One includes
the Fishmarket reception affairs, an
other the Pearl Harbor and Kapena
Falls excursions. and the third the gar
den party at Waikiki beach. For the
Pearl Harbor trip it was proposed that
some of the officers be taken down by
steamer and part by automobile, and
that on the return those who came by
auto go back by steamer and vice
versa. Thus all will have a view of
both approaches.
For the garden party at Waikiki
beach it is proposed to utilize both the
Seaside and the Moana hotels. 1t is
proposed to bridge the stream between
the two with an ornamental bridge,
and the proposition was also made that
Waikiki road from King street to the
nOlclS Dt "A lanai

NOT so MANY OFFICERS.
rartar EipO of tba
bort that 1000 officers of the fleet were
at Rio de Janeiro said the
number was greatly exaggerated. All
old there are not one-third that total !
If commissioned officers on the battle |,
hips and torpedo boats combined. |
There may have been 1000 people at |
he Rio banquet, but the majority were |
doubtless Brazilian and American resi- |
Tents of the city.
