with much religious ceremony. Masses were said
at the Roman Catholic Cathedral here, but in order

the day has been postponed until tomorrow.
This procession of ecclesiastics and worshippers
will pass through the principal streets of the city.

/ Mr.. A. w. BUSH has imported some splendid
pumpkins from New Zealand, a number of which
were arranged in front of his store on Fort Street,
yesterday afternoon and attracted a good deal of
attention. 1t seems very strange that we should
have to send 1000 miles for supplies of a vegetable
| which ought to grow here like a weed. The fact is
but another instance of the way in which almost all
of what should be the minor industries of the coun-
try are neglected.
LARGE advantage was taken on Saturday and
Sunday of Captain Hopes politeness in throwing
| open H. B. NJ S. Champion to visitors. The ship
well repays inspection. Among the peculiarities of
her construction the most important is the steel
deck which occupies a position about 3 feet 6 in
ches below the waterline. This is relied on as be-
ing shell-proof, and below 1T are the machinery
and boilers and the magazines, so that all the vital
parts of the ship are protected. The ship is divided
into no less than 1O2 cellular compartments each
watertight, and by eleven vertical watertight bulk
heads.
Mr.. WRAY TAYLOR gave the fifth of a series of
free Organ Recitals in st. Andrews Pro-Cathedral
Tuesday evening, Mr.. Taylor was assisted on this
occasion by Their Royal Highnesses the Princesses
Liliuokalani and Likelike, who sang as a duet, the
Evening Song TO the Virgin" (Hemans). Prin-
cess Liliuokalani also sang as a solo Holden's
Nearer My God TO Thee Mr.. A. T. Atkinson
was to have contributed some organ music, but
was unable to be present. Mr.. Taylor's selections
for the occasion included some choice music, which
was rendered with more than his usual skill and
feeling. The following Is a list of those pieces
Smart's Festival March in D, one of Mendelssohn's
Songs without Words, an Andante in C, by Silas, a
Pastorale by Best, Batiste's O~ffertoire in d, minor,
Sicilian Mariners tune with varia tons by Tbayer,
and a Fantasia in c. major by Tours.
Mr.. SMITHIEs and Mr.. Hassinger visited the
steamer Monarch yesterday and in their presence
the roll of the immigrants was called. All an
swered to their names and acknowledged their
contracts as correct and understood by them. Capt.
Marcos of the Police Force acted as Interpreter.
They will be taken ashore to Immigrants quarters
at Kakoaka to-day, but they will not be allotted to
their future employers until about Tuesday next
so that they may have a little time to themselves

Monarch being a British steamer, Mr.. 7. Rain
Walker, as Acting Yice-Consul, also visited the
vessel and several of the passengers being called at
random from the crowd were asked as to whether
they had any complaints to make with their treat
ment during the voyage. All answered alike that
they had been well treated on board and felt thank
full to Capt. Thompson for his attention to their
comfort.
CAPTAIN HOPE and the officers of H. B. NJ. s..
Champion entertained a large party of guests on
that vessel yesterday afternoon. Amongst those
present were II. R.. H. Princess LiIiuokalani and
His Excellency Governor Dominis, H. r. A..
Princess Likelike and Hon. Mr.. Cleghorn, Major
Wodehouse, British Commissioner and Mrs. Wode-
house. The Royal Hawaiian Band was on board.
and a great part of the afternoon was, by the
younger guests and officers Of the ship, devoted TO
dancing, which was carried on with great spirit.
Some torpedoes, on a small scale, were exploded as
close to the ship as prudence allowed, and proved
great objects of attraction to those from shore,
many of whom saw the effects of one Of these
modern implements of warfare for the first time.
For some hours the ship presented a gay and ami
mated scene, amidst which all present enjoyed
themselves exceedingly; the kind and unaffected
hospitality of Captain Hope and his officers causing
all TO feel at home on board, and quite reluctant
to believe the fact when the hour for going ashore
arrived. The children especially, of whom there
were a large number on board, will long remember
the day they spent on the Champion.
