San Gabriel
Reception
Maui Prepares to Welcome
Portuguese Cruiser

The Portuguese colony on Maui
has made very little display, and
advertised a whole lot less, the en-
tertainment which they arc prepar-
ing to give the officers and crew of
the Portuguese cruiser San Gabriel.
Yet, il. the program that they had
prepared for Sunday does not sur
pass anything given the officers dur
ing their stay in Hawaiian waters,
the Maui News is mistaken in it's
guess. Our Portuguese Americans
have a way of doing things, their
own way without much ado, and
the excellent program which it is
their intention to carry out, speaks
well for the short day which will be
spent on this Island by the repre-
sentatives oftheir home:government.
M. G. Santos of Paia, is chairman
of the general committee in charge
of the affair, and his efforts to make
the day success has been well re-
paid by the cooperation given him
by the members of the various COM
mittees appointed. Contributions
to the fund have been made by
Portuguese of the Island, and gene
rous offers by ot er prominent par
ties have been gratefully accepted.
The Portuguese Consul, Hon. A.
de S. Canavarro will be guest of
the Commander on his trip from
Honolulu to Hilo and return, and
while on Maui, Mr.. Canavarro will
be entertained in company with the
officials of the cruiser.
According to program, the cruiser
will arrive at Kahului, at s a. m.
Sunday morning. The tug Leslie
Baldwin will convey the reception
committee and the honorary recep-
ton committee consisting of Hon.
II. p. Baldwin, Hon. S. B. Kings
bury, Hon. A. n. Kepoikai, County
Attorney d. III. Case, Supervisor w.
f. Pogue, and Messas. j. n. S.
Williams, II. A. Wadsworth, +. f.
Baldwin and III. A. Baldwin, to the
cruiser. The San Gabriel will be
boarded outside of the harbor by
Chairman Santos, and possibly J.
Garcia, so that arrangements can be
completed with the Consul and
Commander.
After the cruiser has been moored
Maui's welcome will be extended
by the committee, who will be con-
veyed to the cruiser in a decorated
lighter. On shore the officers of the
cruiser will be welcomed by Com
pany | of the National Guard and by
the Maui County Band in charge of
Bandmaster Schrader. The officers
will then be taken in charge by the
transportation committee and con-
veyed to lao Valley, where break
fast will be sevred at $3.50 a. m.
The lao breakfast is in charge of
Mrs. 7. Burlem, which insures that
every detail of the meal will be well
cared for.
The entertaining committee, con-
sisting of the transportation COM
mittee and others, will then escort
the party through the principal
points of interest in Central Maui,
returning to Kahului at 1:30 p. m.
where real Hawaiian luau will be
in waiting. A few short speeches
will be made at the luau, which will
also be the public reception, Port
uguese from all parts of the Island
are requested to be present at the
luau and reception at p. M. Trains
will be run from all points of Maui
in time for the luau and reception
To avoid any congestion at the ball
grounds at Kahutui, where the gen.
eral reception will be held, persons
of other nationalities will be admit
ted by card or ticket. After the
luau the officers will be free until
$3.50 p. m. when they will be given
a grand farewell. The management
and officials of the Central Maui
plantations have been generous in
their assistance, and the member:
of the committee are thankful that
the events scheduled for Sunday
will be carried out most success
fully.
