IRON Iuesday Advertlscr.)
A-beautiful silver salver was present
ed to James D. Dougherty by the Homo.
lulu Chamber of Commerce yesterday in
appreciation Of his services as director
general Of the 1914 carnival President
George r. Garter presented the plate.
He said:
Fellow citizens and members Of the
chamber Of commerce, in response TO
a public sentiment expressed on many
sides, the trustees of the chamber Of
commerce have called special meeting
here today to honor one who has set
high example of civic pride.
"It was their desire that Mr.. Warren,
president of the Carnival Company,
make a financial report at this meeting,
but il seems that there are some items
that require the attention of the direc.
tor general himself, SO that in this
hope we are disappointed. Whatever
the defects of our community may be,
located here at the Crossroads Of the
Pacific, we cannot be accused Of too
often rendering praise for public SER
vice.
Carnival Was Unique.
"The Carnival of 1914 was indeed
unique in many Of its features; to de-
scribe them will be to give the impress.
sion which the different events produced
upon single mind. However, no one
could have seen the 'Wooing Of Uni
and Piikca' without admiration for SO
spectacular tnbleau and be convinced
that the Hawaiian people appreciated
the beautiful.
1.-THE Mayor Of Toxic was executed
with wonderful effect and superb sur
roundings tlfat possibly could not DO
obtained elsewhere.
"The Military parade was an educa-
tion and source of pride to all Ameri-
cans; while the military tournament
was perhaps the most interesting of all
the events. Tho Eruption of Punch.
bowl was by far the most unique dis.
play. Certainly the japanese Lantern
parade was an incident that could not
be duplicated in any other American
city q
And have tho word Of no less an.
authority than Captain Matson who has
made point of attending fireworks dis
plays in all parts of the world, that he
never saw any better than those given
in our own beautiful harbor. But 1.
will not attempt to give an adequate
description Of all the interesting sights
that were crowded into those few DAYS.
Gentlemen, there is always per
feet model for any undertaking, both
large and small, and it takes a master
mind to perceive the dormant possibili-
ties that lie in each suggestion obtained
as well as many men of capacity and
ability to assist a leader in approx.
mating that ideal.
1.-THE long study and wide investiga.
tion of this particular project required
the sacrifice of much time on the part
of the director general, and il is in
appreciation OF a public service we'll
rendered that the members of the Homo.
lulu Chamber of Commerce present this
token 60 one of our leading young busi,
ness men, Mr.. James ID. Dougherty. - +
a.ll, Dougherty Responds.
Mr.. Dougherty in accepting the gift
said that a proper expression of his
appreciation was out of the question.
The success of the 1914 carnival. he
said, was due more TO the hearty spirit
OF cooperation between the committees,
the public and the press than to his own
efforts.
From the bottom Of my SOUL said
Dongherty, nothing makes it possible
to thank you sufficiently for tho honor
You have conferred upon me-
Il. ID, Tenney then moved voto of
thanks on behalf of the chamber Of
commerce 10 the community and the
committNps for the splendid team work
which marked the carnival and added
so much TO it's successful outcome.
Among those present were W. o.
Smith, Albert Waterhouse, NJ. Phillips,
