Real Hawaii will
Be Shown Visitors
Hibiscus Show Will Be Given
Press Congress Delegates
and a Night in Hawaii Is
Feature for Evening.

Features typically Hawaiian are
planned for the day the delegates to
the Worlds Press Congress will have
at the fair both during the day and
in the evening features which will be
of more than ordinary interest to the
visitors and which they may not see
again while in the Islands.
If Hawaii can be said to have
national flower" it is the hibiscus.
No where else does the flower bloom
in greater variety or beauty than in
these Islands. Saturday, the day
Press Congress delegates will arrive
on Maui is to be hibiscus day at the
Fair. Big preparations for its sue
cess were being made before it was
definitely known that the journalists
would be here at that time and now
there is an added stimulous which
will bring greater efforts. Thirty
three premiums are offered for the
best exhibits, there have been promis-
ed at least two displays from Homo
lulu and with Maui doing its best
there should be a hibiscus show that
will awaken the admiration of all who
behold it,
Always, hibiscus show is source
of delight to the malahini and from
present indications the show at the
Maui Fair will be the only one az
ranged for the Press Congress dele
gates entertainment.
1t has been suggested that the re-
ception committee which meets the
visitors on the Matsonia take with it
to the vessel blooms of the flower so
hot Of hn vic
one during the day. Another sug-
gestion is that Mauiites attending the
fair be asked to wear the flower also.
Hawaiian Program
Saturday evening the chief enter
tainment feature will be night in
Hawaii and Director of Entertainment
j. J. Walsh says it is to be something
different from what has generally
been presented elsewhere. The hula
is not to be shown but there will be
rendered number of old time dances
that ahve not been seen in the Islands
in years, dances that will be new to
the greater proportion of kamaainas
as well as to malahinis. Probably
on no other Island of the group could
such typically Hawaiian program
be arranged as can be staged here.
Director Lindsay has felt he had a
big problem in arranging for the seat
ing of the visitors at the fair and
there was a meeting of the fair man
agement and the chairman of the
Maui Press Congress committee Tues
day afternoon at which the difficulties
were pretty well Strengthened out. Fl.
B. Penhallow has accepted chairman
ship of the finance committee, Will
lam Walsh is getting busy on the mat
ter of Transporting the visitors from
steamer to shore and to the fair and
back, Ralph Wilson will tackle the
automobile transportation arrange
ments and the swimming entertain
ment is confidently assured. All in
all, each committee head is preparing
to do his or her best for Maui.
