Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 40: November 15, 1905 One could take the gasoline launches and cross the lake to any point; or they could use the Venetian gondolas, or they could walk across the bridge to the near est point, which was the entrance to the Trail - another name for the section where fun and frolic held sway on a smaller scale than the Pike at St. Louis, but still very interesting. To the credit of the management it can be said that there was not an objectionable feature on the grounds. The views from the southern part of the lagoon, looking towards the government buildings, were very attractive. Nowhere have I seen greener lawns or more beau tiful flowers. Seats were provided liber ally. One could sit and see most of the buildings and enjoy the music of bands liberally provided by the management. Chief among them was the Hawaiian band, whose vocal and instrumental ef forts always drew large crowds. Their singing was melodious and of the sort that the masses enjoy. Among them was a most charming lady vocalist with a voice that fairly charmed the crowds. Their instrumental efforts were superb. The whole combination was very popular. It was a pleasant sensation when tired with incessant walking to sit and enjoy the Open-air concert. R. Savage.
