Tomorrow morning there will, in the
office of a leading local attorney, be
signed a contact with prominent To-
cal man as party of the first part and
six Hawaiian men and women as par
ties of the secod part, which provides
for the departure from these shores
within ten days of a seXtet of singers
and hula dancers to tour the United
States mainland. for year, with THE
privilege of extension of the contract
to eighteen months, should all go well.
Until the contract has been signed
the parties interested will not permit
their names to be divulged, but the
preamble of the project is to the eff
feet that, whereas the visiting Con-
gressmen and their ladies manifested
admiration and expressed approval of
such hula dances and Hawaiian sing
ing observed and enjoyed by them dur
ing their visit here, the parties in
volved in the venture deem it sutti-
GENTLY full of financial promise to un-
dertake a tour of the mainland States,
from Frisco to New York and back
again by another route, dancing and
singing all the way.

the last mail we received through
clipping bureau an extract evidently
from a letter, published in the Gar
den City (Kansas) Evening Telegram,
which is very flattering. It follows:
81 think Hawaii interested me more
than anything else at the Exposition.
These particular Pacific possessions
have had a peculiar attraction for me
for years, and especially of late. I
fear I missed many other good things
today at the grounds because / could
not break away from the Hawaiian
building The beautiful building, the
fine exhibits, the, data, the illustrated
lectures. the products displayed for
sight and taste, the natives, the weird,
beautiful music of both instruments
and voices or the natives. left
charm, an enchantment, that brought
a definite and ineffaceable impress
sion. I don't think I ever shall be
quite happy until go to Honolulu"
We gave away a great deal Of
printed matter every day, and the
most gratifying thing about this was
that the people took it home with
them and did not scatter it about the
grounds as they did the literature
from most of the other buildings.
Our koa furniture attracted attention
from almost everybody, and | am
convinced that our supply of this
beautiful wood will not nearly equal
the demand when it is properly in.
rroduced upon the mainland
OF course the success of our pine
apple demonstration is well known.
The fruit sold at an even ratio to
the attendance on the grounds
throughout the season. This attend
ance was increasing up to the time
I left, and averaged about 10000
daily. The largest day was Seattle
Day" on the 9th inst, two days af-
ter I left, when over 10000 passed
through the gates. A letter from my
wife received by the last mail, states
that the receipts from the sale Of
pineapples for that one day, were
nearly $1,000, and that over 1000
cans of fruit were opened. On the
Saturday previous Japan Day., the
receipts amounted to about $500.
From these figures, and the fact that
the sales are regular in proportion
to the attendance, it would seem to
leave no reason to doubt that a SINH
lar demonstration at Atlantic City
or other place where large crowds
eongregate, would be equally success
full.

important part in the success of Ha'
wallis exhibit. They were universal

SUCCESS OF The
PROMOTION WORK

The following is Acting Secretary
Cooper's report to the Promotion
Committee for this week:
Chairman and Members of the Ha-
waii Promotion Committee:
Gentlemen:-Now that the tide of
travel has set towards Hawaii in such
volume that transportation facilities
are swamped in their efforts to han
die it, l believe that we may be par.
doned for claiming credit for a large
measure of these results. 1t has
been the steady, unremitting, consis-
tent work af this body for the past
FIVE years in sowing seed, which is
now beginning to yield a great har-
vest; and the work we are doing to-
day will be bringing results for many
years to come. l mention this be-
cause believe that during the past
summer more of our people have
come to realize the value of the Ha-
Ewaii Promotion Committees work
than ever did before. More than us.
ual have been on the mainland dur
ing the past few months and all have
been forced to recognize the evil
dences of our work.
I give our Committee almost all
| the credit because we have been do
| ing practically the only organized
promotion work for the Islands. Cal
ifornia, Florida, the West Indies
and almost every other place which
offers attractions to tourists, not on
ly have their publicity bureaus, but
are supplemented by transportation
companies, hotels, real estate com
panies, which keep the magazines
and newspapers filled with costly ad
vertisements. The Hawaii Promo
ton Committee has had but little
such cooperation.
The Alasl1an-Yukon-Paeifc EXposi
tion will be worth to the Territory
many times what it has cost us, but
the results from it are to be looked
for more in the future than in the
immediate present. AS you know
spent the summer in Seattle assist
ling in pushing Hawaii to the fore
Although during that time was no
in the employ of this Committee
still the promotion and publicity enc
of the work fell to me, and l never
ceased to consider myself a part o.
this body. In fact I had my cards
announce me as a representative o
your Committee. I am only sorry
that it was not possible for every
member to visit the Exposition, bu
1 think you have heard few poor re
ports of Hawaii's exhibit, from any
source. At all times we secured oul
full proportion of the general attend
ance, and we held attention bette
than probably any other exhibit. B!

INTO THE HEARTS OF CoNTIN ENTAILS NEW
YoRK-sIGN CONTRACT ToMO RRow

They expect to dance their way into
the hearts of the mainland communi-
ties and to sing to satisfaction every
where.
The dancing, it is carefully announc-
ed, will be a nature devoid of all OBJ
jectionable features, such as will de-
light and entertain without leaving
any impression that is undesirable.
The contract to be signed provides
that, at any time it may appear that
the venture is becoming a failure fin
ancially, the party of the first part,
the promoter, will pay backwages up
to date, and passage money for the ar
lists and artistes home again to Ha-
waii.
This is taken as an honorable means
of livelihood" said the attorney for the
dancers and singers to a Star reporter
this morning, "for the participators
have made their living here by dancing
and singing, and that is their profess
sion. Now they are convinced that a
greater field and more remuneration
awaits them on the mainland under
proper management.

jury to any of the vessels.
Study of the above figures reveals
the fact that the general average for
all ships on the four hour squirt was
21.22 knots.
If that speed were maintained, or
could be maintained on a run from
San Francisco to Honolulu, it would
have brought the squadron 10 Ho-
Lolulu in four days.
Such a speed, however, is impos'
sible to maintain on a 1000 mile run
The four hour test was an emer'
gency trial, to demonstrate what can
be done in time of necessity when
such a squirt might have to be made

gram, are supposed to be divided be
