PUSHING Finance
PLANS FOR NEXT
FLORAL PARADE

Il believe that the success OF the
1913 Floral Parade and Carnival will
insure the success OF those held il.
after years. said Zeno X. Myer. at
the first meeting of the finance ,om-
:ttee of the 1913 Floral Parade held
Yesterday afternoon in the Merchants
Association rooms. BY this statement
Nr. Myers made the fact clear that.
the next parade must be one the mem
cry OF which will remain fixed in the
mInds Of the visitors expected from
the mainland.
The meeting was called to order at
four O'Clock by Fred l.. Waldron, who
was appointed chairman OF the finance
committee by S. F. Chillingworth.
director-general OF the Parade and
Carnival. Emil A. Berndt was elected
secretary and A. Lewis, Jr., treasurer.
Parade Finances.
The greater part OF the meeting was
taken up with the discussion of the
finances of the parade and SugeS tons
fol- raising the necessary funds. IT
vas reported that balance of about
500 now remains in the Golfers of the
5000 has been expended for the post
Crs and other advertising. One plan
TO- the raising Of the needed funds
was presented by 4. D. Castro, who
suggested that it be done through the
medium Of scheme something on
the plan Of a tag-day, and that a num-
Der of men be secured to cooperate
with the committee and pass around
subscription blanks, and at the same
time arouse public sentiment. Mr..
Single, however, was of the opinion
that such a plan would not be practi
cal as the business houses and the
citizens of Honolulu have been called
unon too frequently to subscribe funds
to a score of different undertakings,
and that they might not care to make
any more pledges.
May Sell Seats.
Someone suggested that grandstands
be erected at suitable locations by
which the parade would pass, and thai
aGmiS sion be charged for seat. This
suggestion was favored by majority
of the members.
Mr. Myer gave an interesting talk
on the possibility of the different at
fractions which may be secured. He
said that the military of Hawaii wouiG
no doubt some forward with some
thing in the way of maneuyers, and
he laid special stress on the fact that
a young aviator from California was
very anxious to bring an aeroplane
ct the time of the big attraction and
make a number of flights. The attrac-
ton, he said. would be a novelty, in
asmuch as it would be entirely out
C1 the ordinary. The special flights
would be over the harbor.
Another matter which Mr.. Myer
emphasized was the fact that it would
be the bits of ancie1. Hawaii a!nn1
the parade that would cause the
greatest interest among the tourists
who are here at the time and plans
are now on foot to have some old Ha
waiian sports such as spear throwing
and surf-riding by torchnght. These
sports, together with real Utd-fashion-
&. luaus, would be one or lie special
features of the Heen.
All of the members of the commit
tee who were present expires sed them
selves as being tore than pleased with
the present outlook in regard to the
success of the Parade and Carnival
in February and they believe that Il
will lie the largest and the most uni
que of any previously carried out. A
