OF the board OF aldermen appointed to receive
King kalakaua, had become as drunk as Too
dies. While awaiting in jersey CITY the arrival
OF the train from Washington, they adjourned
TO the benzine shops near the Pennsyl vania
railroad depot, and took in a supply OF JERSEY
lightning to steady their nerves to receive with
becoming dignity the copper colored potentate
whose presence was to shed blaze of glory. At
the Windsor hotel tonight the Ninth regiment
band put in an appearance shortly after nine
O'Clock, to serenade the king. An immense
throng had assembled in front of the hotel,

lights Illuminated the avenue for quarter of a
mile. The first air over, old Nj Cafferty. chair
man OF the reception committee of the board

and. leaning over the balcony, swayed to and
fro in manner which alarmed his friends for
his safety, and looked ominous for whatever

dunciation OF the pOtentate's name, corrected
himself in the following fashion:l mean, Mr.

jesty smiled and puffed his cigar. He had no
speech to make. He listened TO another air,
and then retired to his own rooms. The band
continued playing till after ten O'Clock Nc
Cafferty and his aldermanic friends adjourned
to take drink.
The worthy alderman's speech was the sub
ject OF much merriment. Mac was angry and
disguised, and said it was all the result Of that
damned Jersey rum, and that anyhow the
blood of the McCaffertys was better than King
Kalakaua or any other "damned nagur's."
