of the Bishop Estate in making pos
sible the Pan-Pacifc building and the
exhibition in the very heart OF the city
of the seven scenic wonders of Hawaii

yesterday, "that this fuet should be
brought out, and permit one to add that
in the ten years have spent in Ha-
wall ! have ever found the Bishop
Estate, through its directors, more than
eager to forward any plans for the
education Of the people that it could
possibly assist in all fairness to its
trust. w..
con thinking over what the Bishop
Estnte was doing TO help, the Pan
Pacific directors made the diorama5
aud exhibit halls entirely free TO the
public, and so they will remain while
the Pan-Paeific pavilion stands Plans
are under way to install during the
next few weeks, a splendid governments
exhibit of stuffed animals, agricultural
products and curios from the aborigin-

ut may be recalled that the first
suggestion that Aala Park be used dur.
ing Carnival week for place Of en-
tertainment and a Hawaiian and South
Sea village came from the Pan-Pacifc
Club. The plan then was TO hold an
industrial fair and amusement com
pound opening Carnival week and ex-
tending over a month. Every kind of
Hawaiian industry was to be repre-.
sented, rs well as most Of the games
and amusements of the different Pa.
eiilc races. The Pan-Paciie Club has
once more asked the Carnival directors
for this concession for 1918, and has
the individual promise Of their support.
