This is resume of the results of
lively meeting of the executive com
mittee of the Floral Parade yesterday
afternoon. This committee is composed
of the general officers and of the chair
men of the various committees, and its
work is to, consider matters of general
policy.
the meeting was presided over by
Director General Arthur T. Wall, and
there were present also, II. II. Walker,
treasurer; Will j. Cooper, secretary;
| Willard Z. Brown, chairman of the
military and naval committees; Miss
Rose Dawson chairman of the inter
island princesses committees; Mrs. Eben
Low, chairman of the pau riders com
mittee; w. A. Bowen, chairman of the
finance committee, and j. B. FTeitas,
chairman of the bicycle committee.
The meeting was held at promotion
committee headquarters.
No Malihini Princess.
In the matter of having a "mali
hini princess" to ride with the in
terisland beauties, an outline of which
suggestion was published in Sunday IS
Advertiser, met with scant favor, al
though it was discussed at some length.
1t was generally agreed that a modern
riding habit worn by a stranger would
be much out of harmony among our
pau draped riders. Some one suggest
ed a section of rpalihini riders, and it
is just possible tnat this idea may be
taken up, since the troop of 3cowgirls
in the parade two years ago made a
decided hit. But in any event the ma
lihinis won't ride with the princesses
The matter of prizes, which has been
before the committee for the past two
: months, has been definitely decided

i The "pilikia' feature of last year
: which it was hoped would be made a

. much favor, apparently, among tn
! members of the committee. The ide
8 fof TIE originators was to furnish
: central idea around which all the ram

? figure in chains was to represent tn

: and in the tolls, and the celebratio
q being in the nature of a general II
! joicing at the overcoming of an oil
enemy.
= 1t was decided, however, to Civ
;, "Pilikia' place simply as one c
