good excuse perched on the stump of
the cherry tree and preparing for
the worst. The costumes of George
and his Pa were very good and the
whole float something out of the or
binary. VIM. Welch played the stern
parent and Master Ezra Crane was
the boy who couldn't tell the lie
The Promotion Committee ear was
that of A. S. Weber, who had deco
rated it very prettily with stringers
of morning glories and yellow leis. The
members of the committee who took

A press car decorator with reporters
and pencils, was in the line of parade
occasionally. This car was put at the
disposal of the news hustlers and prov
ed of very great service. Chauffeur
Iverson proved himself an adept at
getting out of jams without splitting
any of his precious freight or overrun-
ming anyone, while in cutting corners
he was able to show the newspaper
men something new.
A Red Cross car, from the Won
Hamm- Young garage. loaded with
tires and other first aids to the injured,
followed the parade in readiness to
help out any cripple. Fortunately the
service of the experts in the car were
not required.
Beautiful Island Princesses.
Among the first to arrive in the Cap
itol grounds were the Island Princesses
and their escorts and guidon bearers.
The first was Mrs. Chris Holt, repre-
senting the Island of Oahu She rode
a beautiful mount, showing off her fine
horsemanship to advantage. She wore
the regulation, oldstyle pau costume,
comprising a yellow pau skirt with
black velvet cape, and upon her head
rested lei. The other Processes
came in and formed an attractive and
picturesque group under the trees near
the old Bungalow. Each Princess was
photographed and each received a salvo
of applause. To the strangers the APP
pearanee of the Princesses was of I'M
usual interest, and they crowded for
ward to inspect them more closely. The
Prineesses were handsome women all,
and superb riders. Seldom have Island
Princesses in Floral Parades appeared
to such splendid advantage, for their
steeds were all blooded animals which
seemed to understand they were bear
ing royalty.
The Island of Hawaii was represented
by Miss Emma Rose, who also wore a
red pau with black cape. She look
ed handsome and had a regal bearing
A popular girl always, she was ap-
plauded and cheered wherever she went.

pau skirt with black cape, and dis
played bridal trimmings of red, was
much in evidence When the Maui
Princess rode to her appointed place,
she was greeted with three hearty
cheers and a tiger from the Waikiki
and Lahaina military companies. When
the bows saw their Princess trotting
up the walk, the first sergeant shouted
to them to fall in. Miss Cummings
was greatly pleased with this eompli-
ment. She rode 81 Kalakaua,' Miss
Madge McCandless fine black.
Mrs. Blackwell, who represented Mo-
lokai, riding Major Dunning's fine
dapple gray, was the cynosure of all
ewes. Sne wore yellow skirt, and
the Maui boys also saluted her, as Mo
lokai is part of Maui County.
But there were plenty of Kauaians
on the grounds when Miss Kapahu,
the Kauai Princess, rode in; there was
~ a rush to see the attractive costume
she wore ner skirt was of green ma
terial and the cape of white. Over
her shoulders she wore a pretty lei and
upon her head rested chaplet. This
combination of green and white caught
popular fancy, and at the park, where
the prizes were awarded there were
frequent calls of kauai Kauai!
