The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1909-08-24
FURTHER PLANS
FOR VISITORS

The Central Committee on the enter
tainment of the Congressman had an
other meeting in the Office of Governor
Frear yesterday afternoon, Chairman
Kuhio presiding, and discussed at
length the visit of the Washington
delegation and made further arrange
menus for their comfort and enjoyment
while they are in Hawaii.
II. 2. Baldwin and Editor Coke of
the Maui News were present to repre-
sent their island, and on their recon-
incubation some minor changes were
made in the program for Maui. The
steamer will reach Hama at six clock
Sunday morning, where those of the
guests who wish to take the long horse
back trip of sixty miles along the Koo-
lau ditch trial to Makawao will be land
ed. The steamer will then proceed with
the rest of the party to Kahului. The
steamer will leave Lahaina at ten
clock Monday night for Honolulu.
Meantime, the guests are supposed to
make the trip to the top of Haleakala,
be entertained at Puunene, make a
side trip to the lao valley, and have a
good time generally. Mr.. Baldwin and
Mr. Coke promise that nothing will be
left undone that will contribute to the
pleasure and comfort of the party.
1t was decided, on suggestion of
Cupid, that the party that is to make
the Hamakua trip is to be landed at
Mahukona at 1890 O'Clock in the morn
ing, while the rest of the party will go
on to Kona, leaving Kailua at nine
o clock in the morning and going
straight to Hilo.
The question of the entertainment of
the visitors in the homes of Honolulu
came up again, and the showing made
does not speak well for the famous hos
pitality of the residents of this city. 1t
appears that not single invitation has
been received by the committee, except
one from Mr.. Lewis asking that Rep
resentative Bates be his guest - and
| Representative Bates is not coming. On
motion of Secretary Mott-Smith the
matter was referred to the entertain
ment committee, to make personal
| canvas.
On motion of Secretary Mott-Smith
the transportation committee was given
| jurisdiction of all interisland transpor-
tation of the visitors.
A letter was received from the Kauai
| committee asking that $500 be set
aside for them. The committee was UNI
able to see what Kauai needed with
that amount, and on motion of w. o..
| Smith it was cut to 5000.
Chairman Kuhio announced that he
had appointed w. f. Dillingham; as
chairman of the entertainment COM
mittee, with G. j. Waller and John G..
Lane as the other members, and I. L..
Petrie, j. NJ. Dowsett and H. +. Wich-
man as the committee on transportation,
with Mr.. Petrie as chairman. The re-
ception committee is to consist of the
executive committee and such other
members as they shall wish to add
The matter of having an official pho
tographer was brought up by Secretary
Mott Smith, who stated that it was the
idea to have r. X. Bonine accompany
the party in that capacity, at no ex-
pense except his transportation. He
said that the booklet written by r. o.
Matheson and Mr.. Lowrie, describing
the previous Congressional trip to Ha-
wall, had proved of much value, and
many copies had been used by the Pro-
motion Committee and in other ways.
But great difficulty was experienced in
getting photographs for it. This diff
Guilty would be obviated by having Mr..
Bonine accompany the party as pho
tographer.
w. o. Smith thought the matter of
expense should be considered-in this
| case-and he objected to anything be-
ing done. Finally, on motion of Sec
rotary Mott-Smith, the matter was left
to the chairman to ascertain the cost
of taking a photographer.
