(Spe cll.i Plans (or the greatest conjeress .of the world's warships la history, to he hfM during the Exposition period in Sin Francisco Bay. were revealed Tues day by Charles C. Moore, president of the I'anama-Paclf ic International Kxpo ettlon. at a convention of delegates from the different frstiva associations on the Pacific Coast, beld at the St. .Francis llotely. Day and night parades which will fhanae the city Itself Into a KlKantlo carnival scene, special festivals to be celebrated In the city and vicinity com memorative of such historic eras as the occupation of California, the arrival of the missionaries, the cominc of 1S49 and later events of similar signifi cance were spoken of by President .Moore as details of a systematic plaa to re-enforce the Exposition with oat side entertainment features rivaling in splendor the Exposition and em bracing more intimately the city itself. Delegates Hear Plaam. These plans were revealed to the 'deleaales who cam to form a featlval association as an adjunct to the Ex jvonltlon committee, so it miftht be guided In whatever plans might be made for concurrent festivals and cele brations la the cities to the north and south. Co-operation between the exposition and the festival association was urged, by President Moore to the end that there might be no unnecessary over lapping of festival dates and conflict with Ibe special features being ar ranged to supplement locally the greater event. The convention, which was repre sentative of virtually every festival, fair and local or state exposition man agement on the Pacific Coast from Van couver to Can Diego, met at 10 o'clock with more than luO delegates present. The meeting was In response to an in formal call Issued by George L. liutchln, general manager of the Tort land Hone Festival, several weeks ago. In the call the meeting was urged that the many different festival asso ciations, all working with local pride and Interest at heart, might unite Into a broader organisation to work with the year lle In view and with the benefits of the entire Coast as its ob lectiv point. The project already had been given the support of the exposi tion management, and the convention was held under official auspices. Mr. liutchln was Introduced as the temporary chairman by Captain John Harneson, of the exposition committee. H explained to the -assembled dele gates thst It would benefit the entire .'oast region If the different' associa tions would work together with a view to providing exposition visitors with urh a continuous, consecutive pro gramme of local celebrations and fes tivities that, those coming from the Kast via the northern railroads might travel leisurely down from Vancouver r Tortland. lured to stops In each principal city by local festivals, and r turn to tbeir homes after the exposi tion visit by a southern route, which would enable them to visit the fes ivals at Pasadena. Los Angeles. San 1'iepo and other cities to the south. C'Bcerte4 Plaa Is Alas. By bitting upon a concerted plan to make this sort of a programme, pos thle." said Mr. liutchln. "we will be a tile to hold our tourist visitors for nuch longer periods than we could if the exposition Itself was the one at traction, or if San Diego and Pasadena .'or instance, give their beautiful feetl vals at the same time Portland gives Its Rose Festival and Hcattle Its Goklen l otlatch. thereby making it Impossible for the visitor to attend both and, necessitating his making a preference. What we want is first to get the peo ple started to San Francisco and then having them on their way, persuade them to Include the entire Coast In '.heir Itinerary." The delegates present were organised Into a permanent association to be known as the Festivals Association of the Pacific Coast. Mr. liutchln was chosen chairman and empowered to appoint an executive committee of one member from each state and territory represented. Including Hawaii, which was represented at the meeting by Mrs. Francis Headlce, special agent of the Allied Chambers of Commerce of the Inland possessions. Prv-aa Cammlttee Projected. A press committee to Include one member from each festival organisa tion also was authorized and this ccm niitteee. member of which will be dele gated hv their home associations, will rreeet April IS In the exposition build ing to agree upon a plan of co-operative publicity for all the festivals which will mark the year 1915. The executive committee which will be named by Chairman Htuchin will fix the date of the next meeting of the new association and will have prepared for consideration at that meeting a ten tative programme of dates for the dif ferent local festivals planned for the exposition period. This general meet ing probably will be held prior to April IS. At the morning sessions speeches, were made by the various delegates, all assuring the convention that the associations they represented intended to enter Into 11S festival plans with the determination to surpass all past achievements. Portland. Seattle. Ta i oma. Vancouver, San Diego and Los Angeles especially were enthusiastic in outlining the plana of their respec tive associations.
