:\IAUI FAIR. 



At the request of the director of the Maui Fair, the writer consented to 

 act as a judge of the flowers and jilants, accordingly three days were spent 

 on Maui. 



For about two weeks before the fair, our time was taken uj) with sawing 

 and getting ready wood specimens of 18 different kinds of wood. A log of 

 sandal-wood which the writer got from Mr. William Harpham 's at Waia- 

 lua was cut into over 900 pieces, ^4x2x2, and given out as souvenirs, each 

 piece containing the Hawaiian and scientific names. All were cut up at our 

 Makiki saw mill. 



A large quantity of seed of a numl)er of our best trees and vines were 

 put UJ) into packages and di;-;tril)uted free at the fair, each package being 

 properly labeled. 



A collection of seed put up in glass vials and enclosed in glass cases, 

 all properly labeled, was put on exhibition. 



A large numl)er of labels required for the dift'erent specimens and the 

 necessary work in filling the envelops, etc., entailed a great deal of work, 

 and I wish to state here that the assistance of the office staff who volun- 

 teered to help, consisting of Miss Kelly, Miss O'Dowda, and Miss Ruttman, 

 did splendid work. 1 have no hesitancy in saying that without their help 

 the work would not have been accomplished in time. I wish to thank eacli 

 of the members of the office staff for their kindness in lending their help. 



Eespectfully submitted,
