ambition OF the directors Of the Ha-
vaiian Poultry Association, who are
arranging to open the doors Of the ma

choice recollection of feathorod beau

cembor 10, ID, Is and no have been set
as the dates for the exhibition.
II is expected that IL win be the
first step towards an annual territorial
fair, an enterprise that has been close
to the hearts of the agriculturists,
stock faneiors and agricultural seien-
fists for several years.
As many features apart from the
poultry exhibits as can find space in

tion committee several months ago,
where the space was so limited that
many baskets of flowers could not be
exhibited.
The hibiscus growers are extremely
anxious to hold another exhibition
where they will not be as confined as
formerly and where they may utilize
the experience gained at the last.
Also Dairy Exhibit.

the edifcation of those who regale
themselves on oleomargerine three hun

The adoption of the old fshmarket
for immigration sheds puts the quietus

site for the first Hawaiian territorial
fair, where everything from prize
Black Minorca hens to sugar cane, cats,
coffee, dogs, cotton, canaries, cattle,
ferns, flowers and every possible prod
uct of Hawaii's virgin soils and happy
sunshine could be placed on exhibition.
For Exhibition Building.
According to Raymond C. Brown, the
original booster for the territorial fair
and leading light in Honolulu Is fancy
poultry circles, the next legislature will
probably be asked for a sum to cover
the erection of new building special
ly for the purpose, and the request is
expected to be backed up by a lot of
influence not directly interested in
agricultural matters at all, but which
wishes the scheme to go through for
the inestimable promotion service it
will perform.
just what financial scheme will be
worked up to meet the preliminary ex-
penses (Which should be largely met by
the subsequent proceeds) remains to be
seen, but that it will be, and that it
viii be the most profitable investment
Hawaii will be able to make, stands
without doubt.
The directors of the Hawaiian Poul-
try Association, which is smoothing the
way for the greater fair by this year IS
