VIII be brought to Maui, it is expect
ed, at fair time in October whether
or not there shall be secured a large
steamer for their tour through the Is
lands. Mr.. Kennedy of the Inter-Is
land Steam Navigation Company has
assured Fair Director ID. G.. Lindsay
that. if necessary, his company will
furnish two steamers for their trans.
portation. Further details relative to
tentative plans were received this
week from l.. A. Thurston, chairman
of the Honolulu entertainment com.
mittee. Such tentative plans will re-
qulre some changes which can read
lily be made.
Mr.. Thurston writes that the dates
for the congress have been fixed def
nitely as October 11-25. The Homo
lulu committee will suggest to Dean
Williams, head of the congress, that
as the first day will be broken up in
getting located the congress take the
second to fifth days, October IL, 10
IA, and 15 for its functions and re-
main in Honolulu over Sunday. Then
comes the point where the tentative
plans do not jibe with Maui's ability
to meet them. In Honolulu it was
proposed to have the delegates and
their friends proceed from Honolulu
to Kahului on Monday, reaching here
that evening and remaining here
Monday night, Tuesday and Tuesday
night and then proceeding on to Ha-
wall by daylight.
Fair Days lmmovabIe
1t is impra cticab BILE to hold the fair
on those days of the week and the
committee will write back to Mr..
Thurston offering the counter sugges-
tlon That they proceed to Hilo direct
from Honolulu and leave the Big Is
land so as to reach Kahului either
Thursday or Friday, remaining day
and a night )r two days and a night
as they may see fit
Mr.. Thurston said that the plans
for visit to the other Islands thar
Oahu hinged upon the securing of a
big steamer for touring among them
aud evidently had not heard what MIR
Kennedy had told Mr.. Lindsay. At
that same time the Manoa will be
available TO carry passengers to the
Iair here on one of her regular trips
between Honolulu and Kahului.
fNUcdQ
Hilo is making extensive plans for
the entertainment of the visitors on
Hawaii but IL is not apparent why
such plans could not be carried out in
he fore part as well as the latter
part of the week. Maui's first invita-.
lion TO the members of the congress
specified they would be brought here
at fair time and the week in which
The fair would be held would be made
to suit the plans of the congress but
never contemplated anything that
would suggest the holding of the fail
at the beginning of a week. In Hilo
here will be ball with choral sing
ing, a ride over the Hilo railroad and
a visit TO Kilauea, and Hilo estimates
cost of entertainment at $500, not
paying for autos TO the Volcano nor
lotel expenses there, but including
auto transportation about IIilo. The
Big Island purposes to raise $4,000,
Mr.. Thurston says, and put the bal
ince over its own expenses OF enter
ainment into the general entertain.
nent fund.
Further entertainment plans on the
part of Maui hinge on ability to Sc
cure the changes in the preliminary
entative plans made in Honolulu but
I appears that fair plans will go for
ward with the idea of having its
iates October 20, 81 and %. They
will be taken up by the committee
when a further reply is received from
Mr.. Thurston.
