NEW DIRECTOR
FOR NEXT FAIR
TO BE LINDSAY
Heads of Association Meet and
Make Selection; Affairs Are
Prosperous; To Have Races
July a.

Maui's Fourth County Fair will be
directed by d. c. Lindsay who sue
cessfully headed the second fair. This
decision was reached at a meeting of
the directors of the Maui County Fair
and Racing Association held Tuesday
afternoon. Decision to hold races on
the Fourth Of July, naming of a com
mittee for reception of the Worlds
Press Congress, and policy of ex-
tending further privileges to members
of the association were other matters
undertaken at the meeting.
After the last fair Senator Harold
w. Rice said that he would be willing
to undertake the conduct of fair
this year and until very recently it
had been expected that he would do
so but matters which he could not fore
see have necessitated his making
trip to the mainland during the sum-
mer and so it was necessary to secure
another. His past experience and his
well known managerial capacity made
d. G. Lindsay the unanimous choice
of his co-directors and he generously
undertook the onerous duties that they
thrust upon him. 1t must not be sur
missed that Senator Rice is running
away" from the task of fair director
for such is far from the case. Cir
cumstances have made it impossible
for him to be here during time when
the director of the fair must get mat
ters well forward and progressing
smoothly. Mr.. Lindsay will have the
same hearty support which would have
been commanded by Senator klce.
Date Unchanged.
So far as dates are concerned for
the next fair, no change has been
made. They are still tentatively fixed
as October 6S or 1915 as may best
suit the convenience of the Press Con-
gress of the World which has been
invited to Maui at that time. In that
connection President f. F. Baldwin
said that he considered the coming
visit the greatest opportunity for Ha-
waii to place itself right with the
world that was ever offered to any
community, that its Importance could
hardly te overestimated, especially
since thu call at Maui is planned for
fair time.
To act with a similar reception COM
mittee from the Chamber of Commerce
in the arranging for the visit OF the
journalists and for their reception,
necke, John J. Walsh and Calep Burns.

Affairs of the association are in eX-
cellent condition. The bill to reim-
burse it for expenditures made in COM
pletion of the Territorial Building has
become law and the Indebtedness
will be reduced to $4,000 while its
property is valued at more than $780,
900. 1t is planned not to erect new
buildings this year and there should
be a profit from the coming fair.
Races On Fourth
Races will be held on July under
direction of a committee headed by
f. j.. Cameron. 1t is believed polo
team can be brought over from Oahu
and among other events planned are
cow pony races, polo pony races and
perhaps bicycle races though the bi-
cycle meet will not be held until Au-
gust ~.
Reports showed that excellent pro-
! gress is being made with the grounds.
Much filling and grading has been
done, trees and bushes have been set
out, 500 feet of board fence has been
removed and rplaced with wire strung
to concrete posts along which bougain-
villea was planted this week Another
1000 feet of board fence is to be torn
down and replaced with wire and
bougainvillea screen planted back of
it. Work is to be done on the track
and it is believed that by July the
diamond may be in shape for use,
work on it having thus far been de-
Ilayed by wet weather.
Use of the Agriculture building on
either June IL or July 4 or both was
voted for a luau which is planned TO
be given for the benefit of the pro-
posed orphanage.
AS to privileges to be extended to
members, such as giving them oppor-
tunity for first choice of seats and foI
annual entertainments, the action OF
the directors is told in another article
in thi sissue.
