Queen Emma of Hawaii.

Yesterday Queen Emma of Hawaii visited the
cathedral city of Ely, and during her stay was en-
tertained as the guest of the bishop, the Right Rev.
Edward Harold Browne, and Very Rev. the Dean,
Dr. Harvey Goodwin. The occasion was the cele-
bration in the Cathedral of a service of thanks for
the late harvest. Her Majesty and suite arrived
shortly after half-past ten o'clock from the seat of
Lord Charles Hervey, whose guest her Majesty had
previously been. The party consisted of her Ma-
jesty, Lady Franklyn, Lord Charles and Lady Har-
riet Hervey, the Misses Hervey, and Master B.
Hervey, Miss Cracroft, the Rev. W. and Mrs.
Hoapili (the latter lady in waiting), and the Rev.
E. Cutts, commissary to the Bishop of Honolulu.
The party partook of breakfast at the Bishop's
Palace, and after an inspection of the cathedral
proceeded to the deanery to luncheon.
At half-past three the solemn thanksgiving ser-
vice was held in the cathedral, the Very Rev. the
Dean preaching. A temporary dais was erected
for her Majesty, at a convenient distance from the
pulpit, and almost immediately under the lantern.
On this dais was a thronal chair, decorated at the
back with the letter " E," most ingeniously con-
structed, with an elegant device bordering round it
of wheat and barley ears. A large concourse of
persons was present. Service concluded, the point
of interest was again the Bishop's Palace. " It had
been arranged that a public meeting on behalf of
the Hawaiian Mission should be held in the palace
gardens at five o'clock, but the weather proving
uncertain (a heavy rain had been falling incessantly
during the night), the venue was transferred, by
the courtesy of the bishop, to the picture gallery of
the palace.

A dinner took place at the palace in the evening,
the guests comprising the whole or most of those
who were present at the breakfast and luncheon,
with additions.

ller Majesty and suite rested at the palace for
the night, and (it was understood) would take their
departure for the University of Cambridge in the
morning. The Queen will be the guest of the Vice-
Chanceller, the Rev. Dr. Cookson, Master of St.
Peter's College.
