"What was the reason for ordering
the Hawaiian singers away from their
place on the Boardwalk at Atlantic
Cityr' was a question put to II. 2.
Wood, secretary of the promotion COM
mittee, by w. II. Mclnerny, at yester
days meeting Of the board, tho first
meeting which Mr.. Wood has had a
chance to attend since his return.
cit was interfering with the bar re-
ceipts of the hotel, was che reply.
Secretary Wood explained that the Ha-
waii singers attracted people away
from their usual haunts to such an OK.
tent that the hotel bar suffered. The
Hawaii quarters are rented from the
hotel, and consequently the hotel man.
ager had authority to order the singing
stopped, and he did so.
During the discussion which followed
McInerny's question, and in answer to
other questions Mr.. Wood expressed tie
opinion that Hawaii would do Just as
well at Atlantic City without the sing
| ing. The returns had already showed
that the cost of the quintet club was
more than was lost by reason Of the
singing being given up. Mr.. Wood said
he would not advise any further efforts
| to send singers from here.
eff we should require the services
of Hawaiian singers" he said, "there
are plenty to be had in the summer
months in New York or Philadelphia.
There would not be the slightest diff
Guilty in getting a Hawaiian quintet
there.
Secretary Wood was strong in the
opinion that the Atlantic City exhibit,
also the plan being work by Childs,
would bring results. Hawaii is being
well advertised at both places.
Surf Rider Poster.
Several designs for a poster for the
next floral parade were shown to the
committee. None of them looked very
good. One by Mist, who designed last
years poster, looked like party of
negroes on n hay ride in n weirily col
ored rig. Secretary Woods thought
this the best of the three, which spoke
volumes for the qualities of the other
two. The committee expressed no opin-
ion, but McInerny offered sugges-
tion which may prevent flooding land
scapes with any of the three atrocities.
The suggestion was that the famous
figure of surf f-rider, which has been
| displayed here as an advertisement, be
used as the central feature of n poster.
The picture in question represents a
native standing on a surf board and
riding a wave. The members of the
committee appeared to think that it
would make a very striking poster,
and it was decided that an investigation
should be made of the chances of hav-
ing a poster made here with the surf
rider as the main figure.
1t was unanimously agreed that the
poster should, if possible, be produced
in Hawaii. The last one was made in
Germany. Secretary Wood explained
that at the time when it was contracted
for it could not have been produced
here. He thought that the work could
now be done in Honolulu and favored
having it done here Hoogs and Non
erny both declared themselves for Civ
) ing the work to local firm if possible
even if at higher cost
