PLANS FOR
1910 PARADE

lulu HlIHUl
The greater part of the time at the
meeting of the Promotion Committee
members yesterday was taken up in a
discussion of plans for the 1910 Floral
Parade, which will, according to the
present outlook, far and away surpass
the efforts of former years in every re-
spect. While it is admitted that the
Floral Parades of years past, commem-
Grating the anniversary of the birth of
George Washington, have been preten-
tious undertakings, have been beauti-
full, and have attracted attention in a
good many ways aud places, it is
planned by the Promotion Committee
to have spectacle of rare beauty such
as has never before been shown here in
the 1910 parade. 1t is also planned,
and the plans are already being put into
effect, to advertise the 1910 parade all
over the United States as well as in
parts of Europe.
The director of the 1910 Floral Pa
rade will probably be named at the next
meeting of the committee, on Thursday
of the coming week. Director Petrie
of the19O9 parade advised the commit
tee to select their man for the next
year at very early date, in order that
he could arrange his plans in plenty of
time. The Promotion Committee is fol
lowing this advice, and there is hardly
any doubt but that the 1910 director
will be named next week.
Atlantic City Branch.
Secretary Wood of the Promotion
Committee has been talking to the mem
bers for considerable time past with re-
gard to establishing a combination in
formation and sales booth at Atlantic
City, the Eastern beach resort. There
| are always, winter and summer, thou
sands of visitors to this beach every
day, and Mr.. Wood S idea is to sell post
cards, curios, and other things sugges-
tive of Hawaii, as well as dispense in
formation regarding the Islands gratis
in a special building there. VIII Cooper
writes from Seattle that he believes
the Atlantic City idea is a good one,
and Mr. Wood win probably come be-
fore the committee with a concrete
proposition before very long. He esti-
installed, the proposition will be self
supporting one, as it is his plan to make
a special feature of the sale of Ha-
waiian pineapples, just as they are be-
ing sold at the fair in Seattle.
Mr.. Wood S weekly letter was as fol
lows:
cit is very gratifying to be able
to state that our efforts to turn travel
=, a.
enlargement. 1909 will undoubtedly
show largely increased number of
visitors to Haleakala and lao valley
over previous years. This result has
been made possible by the Maui peo-
pie themselves who have imported an
tomobiles, improved their hotels, thus
! enabling us 70 say that transportation
on the Twin Island is cheap and hotel
accommodation good. OF these facts,
| the traveller must be assured and now
that Kauai is offering a splendid auto
mobile service covering all parts of
| the island at reasonable rates and with
the assurance that the traveller will
find good hotel accommodation at The
Deverill Hotel Hanalei, also at The
Fairview Hotel, Lihue, and at Waimea,
the three vantage points on the Island.
From this on, | believe that travel to
the Garden Island will rapidly increase
Kauai should have large modern
tourist hotel at Hanalei which is Ger
tainly one of the most beautiful bath
ing beaches in the world, and now
that the tide of travel has at last turn
ed to Hawaii, such place, If well ad
vertised and properly conducted
would, feel assured, prove paying
investment. During the summer sea
son, hotel with accommodations for
fifty or more guests could be kept con
stantly filed with our own people.
