Into her possession by virtue of her

hero on one ship, will reach Honolulu
on the Mongolia on the morning of the
22nd. II, P. Wood of tho Promotion
Committee bus lecelved advices that
two parties, one from Lot Angeles and
the other from Chicago nnd the Mid
dle West, will b uuinng the passen
gers on the big Pacific Mull liner.
"Doth tho Chicago and tho I .oh An
geles parties are coming hero espec
ially to witness the Floral Parade,"
Bald Wood this morning. "The l.os An
geles party was worked up by Mrs.
Headleo, our rcpinsciitullvo with tho
l.os Angeles Chuniber or Commerce.
"Wo huo received Information to
the effect that a large number of oth
er tourists will arrive ut tho siimu
time, nnd I believe that, as fur as tour
ists for Honolulu are concerned, the
Mongolia's passenger list will prove a
record-breaker. In the Los Angeles
party alone there will he twenty-five
persons, while the Chicago party will
consist of fifteen people."
The extensive advertising which the
Floral Parade has received this year
Is evidently bearing fruit and word

tourist business will equal that of any
previous season If not set un entirely
new record.
