CARNIVAL OF
NATIONS TO Be
OPENINGfyENl

Director Dougherty is counting on
great enthusiasm to mark the opening
event &C the Carnival Week-the grand
carnival of nations-which starts the
festivities next Saturday night For
this occasion the Capitol. grounds are
to be very deliberately decorated with
electric lights, the Hawaiian Electric
Company being prepared to spend
something like $500 for this pur-
pose.
The carnival of nations will be just
what its name would signify-a gala
occasion in which everybody in this
cosmopolitan community may take an
aetive-part The smooth drives sur
rounding the Capitol will make ideal
dancing floors, and to the strains of
music from the Royal Hawaiian band
and the Second Infantry band station
ed on the mauka and makai lanais of
the building, the populace will dance
as the spirit of their ancestry or thei"
environment moves them. Mayor

is sure to be evidenced at this much
more elaborate festival But while
the populace will have the entertain
ment to a large extent in it's Gown
hands, the committee was prepared
for number of exhibition dance of
the various nations. These will be
given on stage erected over the front
steps of the Capitol, during intermis-
siOns in the general dancing. A group
of eight Irish dancers will illustrate
the characteristic steps of the "Aull
Sod" and our Spanish population pro-
misses something very striking in the
gay fandagos of their native land.
The Scotch fling will be danced by
experts to the accompaniment of bag
pipes which are expected from Hilo
tomorrow, and the Japanese have pro-
missed to put on a number of their
most graceful geisha dancers.
The peculiarly American terspico-
rean stunts will not be confined to in
dividual caprice on the pavementS. but
experts have been engaged to show
the latest tango steps, and the late
''radium' dance, which is said to he
mere difficult adaptation Of the
OF course there will be some who
will prefer to look on rather than to
take active part in the dancing and
confetti throwing, and for the seats
now Icing erected in the Capitol
grounds will be available at 50 cents
There will be no other charges in con
nectiOn for this event, however, and
the management Of the carnival be
lieve that the opening event will
draw one of the largest asSemblages
ever seen in Honolulu.
