Pageant of States
Pan Pacific Day at the Press Con-
gress will begin with a reception be-
fore the morning session at the Iolani
Palace, reception in which the chill
slren of all the schools viii participate.
The children will be dixided into
groups, each group representing 8 state
OF the Union and marching around the
palace in g pageant of states. They
will be robed in the colors of the states
they represent and carry the floral om-
blems and flags of the states. 1t is ey-
peeted that the ex-President OF the
Hawaiian Republic, Sanford B. Dole,
and the former Governors of the terri
tory will lead the state pageant, which
will be reviewed by the delegates to
the Press Congress, representing every
country Of the globe.
At the official morning session in the
shroneroona it is probable that the or
ganization of the Pan-Pacific Associa-
tfon will be perfected, and plans out
lined for bringing together every year
or every two years the editors OF mag
azines and newspapers published in Pa
cifc islands.
After the morning session it is pro-
posed to have the Boy and Girl Scouts
of all Pacific races escort the delegates
from the palace grounds across the
street to the armory for a luncheon,
which the Scouts will assist in serving.
During luncheon jiu jitsu artists from
Japan will hold contests on platform
in the center OF the great floor. while
the athletic sports of other Pacific
lands likewise will be enjoyed, and
Duke Kahanomoku will make brief
address in Hawaiian. After lunch the
Boy Scouts will escort the delegates
bac kto the palace for the afternoon
session of the Pan-Paciic Conference.
At the conclusion of the afternoon
session the delegates will gather on
the makai lanai of the palace building
TO receive the flags of all Pacific ma
tions. This is the remarkable pageant
Of Pacific races that so enthralled
Franklin 4. Lane, when as Secretary
of the Interior he visited Hawaii.
The delegates will then be guests
OF honor at a Pan-Pacific dinner served
on the palace grounds about the band
stands, on which will be performed
the dances of all the Pacific peoples
and the national songs Of all Pacific
lands will be sung by their native
sons and daughters.
For years the Pan-Pacifc Union has
been accommodating the paraphernalia
for such pageant, and as this is Ma
gellan year, the entire show will be
produced in all its splendor for the
Conpress de1epateS
