ousgfows' Expectations ,s4,,,4..
That the FIRST Territorial Fair Il 10
be, a demonstration Of mammoth pro.
portions, fulhlling and exceeding by
fhr the most sanguine expectations OF
the commission, Is assured BY every
Indication thus far. Already the Wis
dom OF the promoters IN accepting Ka
piOlani Park as the final choice OF d
site has been proved - Neither the
federal building site nor Aala Park
would have given more than half
AMOUNT Of space required to make the
Fair the thing of beatty and the
popular attraction it now promises 70
be-. Neither Of these earlier proposed
sites would have given opportunity for
the great program of amuseRents TINT
the present location offers. 81. 49, + D..
Large Space Required d..
As II is, Kapiolam Park really is
none too big. ! With the, Exception Of
a comparatively small area at the town
ward end the entire grounds are to be
flied 70 The limit of convenience with
Fair structures, many already con
structed and now, being rooted with
tarpaulin and canvas 1,. N2nta
An plans for the Fair have been on
a broad SCALE with view to accom-.
mOdatinR great crowds every after
noon and evening. Assurances receiv
ed from the outside islands lead to the
conviction that all boats from Hawaii,
Maui and Kauai arriving here Just be
fore and during Fair week viii bring
capacity lists of passengers, including
exhibitors. and sightseers. .a'7 :

1t Is possible that the Fair 8 opening
day, june 10. win carry q special double
attraction, for all citizens Of Hawaii.
There is every likelihood that Col. O.
J. Mccarthy the new Governor, will
be inauSdfated at, noon onHthat date.

The presumption. at, present is that
Secretary of the Interior Lane, now en-
route to Hawaii from. fW 1shington. -
bringing Colonel MeCafthy's com mis-.
sion, and that he win tarri%e on III
morning Of June 8. AT any rate, i
is understood preparations FOR the In
augural are going forward on that basis
The ceremony probably will be hel1
outdoors in front Of the capitol build
ing, and not in the throne room, where
former territorial executives have al
ways taken the oath OF Office. This de
parture from custom win be for the
same reason that the, special session
of the legislature Is held at the Ii
brary Of Hawaii instead Of the capitol:
to permit the women Of the Red Cross
| to continue their war work without
| interruption. rn..'. g..
