If not, the directors have another shot
in their locker. IL has been very diff.
fcult to gnage the sentiment Of owners
toward parade, and no definite deci.

In the evening there will be n,assed
band concert of an hour at Moiliili
Field, to be followed by a pyrotechnical
display, for which admissions win be
charged. The eruption of Punchbowl
will not be given again this year, but
the appropriation for fireworks is gen.
erous and il is certain that there will

never before seen in, Honolulu. The
first thing the board decided was that
If the fireworks could not be we'll done,
they should not be done at all. Com

Pageant OF Old Hawaii
Thursday, February "a, Third Day
This day purposely was ballasted light.
20 that, il sudden establishments should
become necessary, a little slack to take
up should be left. The principal event
OF the day will be an Hawaiian Pageant
possibly preceded by a parade of Island
Princesses and Pau riders through the
streets to the grounds. There was una
nimOus agreement within and without
the board that the Hawaiian note should
be strongly accented.
The outlook for the parade is rather
dubious. The directors realize its pic
turesque value and sentimental ante
cedents II is one of those distinctive
things that ought not be allowed to die
ont, but at the same time it has been
increasingly difficult of late years to
find able bodied pau riders and, once
found, to horse them properly.
