NEW PLANS FOR
CARNIVAL WEEK

At meeting Of the chairmen of tho
various committees Of the Washington 3
Birthday celebration, held last night in
tie merchants association rooms in the
Young Hotel IL was shown by the vari-
GUS reports that all of the chairmen
are working on ambitious lines in out
lining their plans for the Carnival
week, and that one of the problems
that may soon confront Director GEN
eral Chillingworth is that of having too
much going on. Some new entertain
ments were proposed, and the Punch
bowl fireworks demonstration was Civ
en- up, the days and nights of the Car
nival week being already crowded with
other events.
The most elaborate outline of plans
made by any chairman present was
that of W. T. Rawlins, as head of tho
committee in charge of the Waikiki
celebration, of which the main feature
is the reproduction of the historic land
ing of Kamehameha, when he came to
conquer Oahu.
An interesting plan was described by
Mr.. Rawlins, and he was authorized to
go ahead with it. Rawlins has made
n study of the subject, and will revive
some oldtime customs which few, if
any, living persons have seen carried
out, The committeeman were so enthu-
siastic over the matter after hearing
his description of what he proposed to
do that in informal discussion, after
the meeting there was talk of arrang
ing for the erection of huge grand
stand on the beach for spectators.
Sightseeing Difficulty.
Rawlins has his plans in line, but one
of his main difficulties is that of ar
ranging so that the crowds can see the
ceremonies, which are to be n reproduc-
tion of what happened on the same
beach nearly hundred years ago
cit was splendid meeting" said
Senator Chillingworth after adjourn
ment, "and greatly encouraged all con-
cerned in the celebration with regard
to the general success of the affair.
Until the chairmen of the committees
got together, after few weeks of
work, they didn U know how much was
going on, how much had been done,
and how big the celebration was to be.
owe were all happy at the close of
the meeting and Mt the showings made
by the various chairmen.
Where to Disband.
The first matter brought up by the
director general was that of the route
of the parade, and where it should dis
band. 1t was the general sentiment
that tho march of the parade should
be to Alexander field, as happened last
year, though definite details as to the
:. routes to he taken by the various SEQ
; tions were not agreed upon. ek
: One reason for this opinion was that
: the distance to Kapiolani Park, the
: other suggested place of disbanding
was too far from the starting place
< and another reason for preferring Alex
K ander field was that the military would
X be holding their athletic exercises IL
+ Kapiolani Park at about the same
X time that the parade might want t.
4 disband 1t was generally agreed
X that for many reasons Alexander fiel'
< should be the place for the disbandini
= of the parade.
+ The route that the parade shall fol
4 low was discussed, but no action wa
+ taken, and the decision will probabl.
X be left to Marshal A. NJ. Brown.
