The Carnival Results


tator and the visitor, the program was splendid
one, well carried through, with sufficiently wide
scope of attractions to favor all tastes The bitches
have been minor ones and the delays have not
been such as to seriously detract To President
Hagens Of the Carnival corporation and his di-
rectors and executive secretary, nnstinted credit
| is due and the same is the share OF the charmen
of the various committees and their effective as
4 sistants Honolulu owes a considerable debt OF
gratitude to these chairmen, especially, each one
| of whom, when the director general resigned,
stepped forward and assumed share OF the bur
Eden each performing his work and leading his
committee in way that brought very happy
results. r. .- >a"'.

The soldiers played greater part than ever
| in the general success of the week, not only in
their splendid, formal turnout on Washington S
Birthday, in their fighting TRIM but on the athletic
track, the baseball diamond, the fetes and holi-
| day parades, while very effective assistance was
rendered the various committees by the non-coms.

military bands, too, in their formal programs and
at the various dances and special events helped
very materially in keeping the Carnival spirit

To the Chinese the Koreans, the Filipinos and
the representatives of the various nationalities
here, praise is due, each race helping towards the
desired effect of showing that in the Paradise OF
1.-THE Pacific there is trace OF the race-prejudice
born from the small conceit of less favored and
tradition-bound communities. ....
The Boy Scouts draw the special mention rib
bon. The demonstration they|gave as their share
of the regular program was good one, but what
they did all through the week in the regular per
Torrance of their duty was the finest demonstra-
ton of the result of Scout training, The very
fact that the services of these boys for all sorts
OF commissions, was acceptedrso generally and
so confidently formed the highest compliment
that could be paid them. The Scouts made good,

salute .'..
There is one class of workers who [ } not figure
on the programs or in the press photographs or
otherwise publicly but who did very big thing
for the Carnival These, are the school teachers
of Honolulu, who trained the children for their
appearance in public, who gathered their classes
and brought them into the selected spots time
} and who, after the applause for others had died
y,
safely home again.
Another feature OF the program, from the tour
list standpoint especially, the part played by
the Hawaiians. The pageant scored heavily and
t will be one of the outstanding memories of the
week for thousands of the strangers at Homo.
Iulus holiday while the Night in Ha vail musical
: event is another OF the things which many will
never forget.
The splendid diversity of the program was
shown in the series of athletic events con|ucted
] in which recognized national champions took
part and during which new records for the I'm t,
} ed States were established and the worlds record
for the hundred-yard dash equaed. Followers
y Of sport had their choices between swimming
baseball tennis and track events, each of very
4 high order.
t On the other hand, much was exceptionally
, we'll handled. The policing of the city was good
= and the behavior OF the great crowds excellent
No serious accident due to the Carnival events OF
Carnival crowds is reported and the number OF
arrests for breaches of the law was below the
4 average.
There were some mistakes, of course, during
t the week. Legitimate complaint may be made OF
t the delay in starting some of the events while
e in quite few instances there were annoying mix
$ ups regarding the seating arrangements The
general street decorations for the Carnival were
to put it mildly, cheap and quite below the stand
n ards of former years instead of being better.
= The Carnival just closed has been the most
+ generally successful yet held and, although nc
h financial reports have been made, the corporation
II has undoubtedly realized good all-round profit
n which surplus will be used to ftance the 'eVent
E next February. Honolulu may we'll be satisfied
t with what has been, long as the satisfaction
S with what has been done encourages something
x bigger and better. This we are certain to have
