= At about half past seven in the evening
the tent for dancing commenced to receive a
most brilliant throng of ladies and gentle
men, and dancing commenced in earnest at
about eight o'clock, the floor being under
the management Of DR.. Hoffman,. The YER
andahs of the house adjoining and the grounds
about the tent were filed with spectators.
The evening was such an one as visitors here
can only apprenticeship moon coursed through
4 clear sky, and the effect upon the sur
rounding objects was very fine. The Kiduea
could be distinctly seen as she left the har-
Dor at about nine O'Clock. All about half
past ten a march was played, and the guests
were invited to partake of a supper in the
tent used for the dinner, and some two hun
dred were soon seated at tables bountifully
supplied. After supper dancing again COM
menced, and continued until between one and
two in the morning.
The Committee certainly deserve the thanks
Of the Americans for the able manner in
which they carried out their wishes as ex-
pressed at the preliminary meeting.
The Government and Consular flags, to-
gether with innumerable American flags, were
thrown TO the wind Mt eight o'clock, and
the shipping was gaily dressed. Capt. Han
hams Yacht, the IhemiS, was very hand
somely decorated, and fired a salute in honor
of the day. We regret to state that one of
his crew was very severely wounded in the
hand, and had to suffer amputation of all
excepting a part of the fore6nger and a strip
connecting with the wrist. The usual ma
tional salute was fired from the head of
Emma street at noon, and n Federal salute
at sunset-the Hawaiian artillery firing the
.salutes. The premises upon which the eel
ebration took place were kindly furnished to
the Committee by His Majesty, and II. r. II.
the Princess Victoria Kamamalu furnished a
generous supply OF delicious grapes. while her
father, His Excellency NJ. Kekuanaoa.
presented the committee with tie evergrcens used
on the occasion.
The conduct of II. B. Ms Acting Com
missioner and Consul General, and of Capt.
Hanham, of the IhemiS, was highly crafty
ing TO the American residents. and is worthy
of imitation by others of IL. b. NIajesty<s
and will tend to do away with that
feeling which was so rapidly developing itself
previous to the departure of II. b.. Ms ship
Clio.
