Army and Navy Are
Helping Maui Fair
General Summerall and Rear
Admiral Simpson cooperate
Magnifcently to Contribute
Towards Success.

Truly splendid support for the
Maui County Fair next week is COM
ing from the Army and Navy and the
two branches of the service are doing
much to solve important problems for
the fair management and to insure
the success of it's undertakings. From
the start General Summerall has
shown a readiness to do everything
that was asked and Rear Admiral
Simpson has not been a whit behind
him, even coming to the rescue when
there seemed to be a serious crisis,
when it became a question of secur-
ing transportation for the army con-
tingent to the Fair. The Inter-island
Company wrote Director Lindsay tell.
ing what transportation it could iur
nish and the accommodations were
utterly inadequate. The fair director
then took the subject of the navy
bringing the army along with Admir-
al Simpson and he arranged it, the
army contingent will be brought over
on naval vessels.
Two Bands Coming
Two splendid bands will furnish
music at the fair as a result of the
military and naval participation in
the program. There will be an army
band of AZ pieces and a marine band
of 26 pieces The two musical or
ganizations are the leaders in the
service of the forces on Oahu and at
Pearl Harbor and genuine musical
treats are assured the patrons of
Maui's Fourth County Fair.
In addition to it's bands the Army
is sending over five airplanes, four
of the larger and one of the smaller
types of machine.
The navy is sending two Eagle
boats, two submarines and two huge
seaplanes and in it's contingent there
are six boxers and the marine band.
Naval participation will give to Kahu-
lui harbor a gay and busy appearance
as well.
Air Service Here
1t is evident that the air service of
the two branches will play important
part in the fair as spectacular feat
ure and the management hopes TO
have all seven planes in the air at
one time, probably on Friday.
The sending over of dozen boxers
six from the army and six from the
navy insures the best program of that
line of sport that the Valley Isle has
ever seen. There are events in yhe
squared circle for each of the three
nights and they will brighten up the
evenings entertainments wonderfully.
Other Departments
. In the live stock department the
fair has been fortunate in securing T.
]. Bubble as chief Judge, it was an
nounced Wednesday morning.
Assurances which have reached d.
H. Case from Honolulu indicate a
greater interest there than ever be-
fore in the fruits and vegetables sec
tions and that there will be a larger
and more comprehensive exhibit from
Oahu in his department than he had
dared hope for.
Booth building has been started in
the Commercial building and it will
be a scene of rushing work to the
music of the hammer and the saw
for the next five days, and until the
opening of its doors to the public
on Thursday morning.
The stables are filling up fast and
each day on the track there are try
outs which promise for fast time and
stirring contests in the racing card,
which the committee in charge of
that department is staging.
Entries have closed and the array
of speedy horses is highly attractive.
Rains Are Helpful
Rains of the week have brought
broader smiles to the face of James
Lindsay, head of the floral exhibits
department for they are further as
surance of the beauty of the displays
that will fill his building. He was
confident of excelling last years dis
play before, now his confidence has
been redoubled.
r. C. Bowman, with squads of as
sistants from the schools has made
an early start on preparing the IL
cony of the Territorial Building Tor
the schools exhibits and putting up
the decorations. The schools can be
counted upon to excel any past Ell,
forts. Mr.. Bowman is also complet-
ing arrangements for the transporia
tion of the youngsters from the
schools to the fair grounds on Friday
which, as usual, will be children's
day.
