The procession occupied about
twenty-five minutes in passing o
given point.
On Nuuonu Avenue the cortegc
was to be seen to the best advan-
tage. There it had settled into a
regular beat and proportioned dis
tances, and the wide and long thor
oughfare gave opportunity Of view
ing the cavalcade as a whole. 1t was
a most striking sight as spectacular
display at that place, and the pathetic
strains Of the bands, as they dis
coursed the dead march and we'll
known devotional tunes, were calcu-
lated to leave an enduring impress
sion Of the event upon the sense of
hearing. A more complete kalcido-
scopic picture than the view of the
procession, forward from the hearse,
could hardly be imagined. There
was the contrast of white raiment
trimmed with WHITE; the harmonious
blending of the prevailing red and
blue OF the fire brigade and blue
and white of the police; the brilliant
mixture Of all the rainbow hues in
the uniforms OF the troops, tipped
with the gay helmets with ultra
marine plumes, and darl; caps with
red trimmings and cociades the
cavalry guards and mounted mar
shals in gold lace and gorgeous
array; the soft and bright feather
capes OF the pail bearers the stately
and beautiful kahilis with their sym-

pomp and parade, followed by its
sad train of mourners for the worthy
dead.
Arriving at the Royal Mausoleum,
the body was received by His Ma
jesty's Chamberlain, Col. C. II.
Judd. A platform had been built
to receive the coffin and bier from
the catafalque, and as it was drawn
in to its last and final resting place,
the heart rending walls, from the
large crowd of natives assembled,
was something beyond description.
The elegant coffin, which has been
described, bore the fol-
lowing inscription engraved on a
most beautiful plate of solid silver
in the form of a shield:
"The Honorable Bernice Pauahi
Bishop, Daughter of the Chiefs A.
Palii and L. Konia, and wife of the
Honorable Charles r. Bishop. Bonn
December 18th, 1881. Died October
10th, 1884,"
As soon as the body hat
been placed in position and the
mourners and others who were
to be admitted to the
Mausoleum had taken their places,
.he Rev. Mr.. Parker offered up a
prayer, and the Kawaiahao Choir
sang with organ accompaniment that
beautiful hymn, Crock of Ages" in
Hawaiian. 1t was specially selected
Is ono of the favorites of the deceased I
llustrious lady. Mr.. Parker pro-
bounced the blessing, and then low
ng hands arranged the beautiful
lowers on and around the coffin,
