and rooted gallery constructed
looking out upon the floor. Several
rows of seats were also placed on
each side of the rink. Altogether
seating accommodation was provided
for seven hundred people, yet when
the ball opened scores were COM
PEELED to stand in the space by the
doors. There were, at the lowest
estimate, eight hundred spectators
present, comprising the best society
people, as the word goes, and men,
bers of the executive, legislature,
judiciary, learned professions, and
commercial and industrial guilds.
1t was, moreover, cosmopolitan
assemblage, people of the much
varied nationalities dwelling here
mingling together by companies and
individuals in pleasant heteroge-
neity.
A detachment of the Royal Ha-
waiian Band struck up lively music,
and, after few minutes delay, the
curtain dividing off the dressing
rooms was raised, and there entered
splendid procession of forty or
fifty skaters in costume. The little
couple personating George and
Martha Washington headed the
grand march, and as the varied
column of artistic, majestic, comic
and grotesque characters passed in
review, murmurs of delight and then
a burst of applause broke from the
audience. The concentric evolu-
tions of the procession, with which
the grand march ended, were exc
cuted in remarkably fine style.
Many of the costumes commanded
attention at once for their ingenuity
and originality. In addition to those
that won the prizes, mentioned be-
low, there were the III Tree, figure
completely draped in ii leaves;
Uncle Sam and his Mother, combi-
nation presenting the illusion of a
matron carrying silk-tiled, Ameri-
can-looking chap in clothes basket;
the Hawaiian Flag, a dress effec-
lively showing the crosses and the
stripes of the national flag the
dainty little figure of the Moorish
Chief; Germania, cnrobed in the
German colors; the Indian chief,
the Indian, Buffalo Bill and the
Cowboy, all strongly redolent of
the American plains the Italian
Brigand, for richness of costume,
and the Due de Richelieu and Louis
XIV, for fine historical representa-
ton, besides many pretty and elabo-
rate costumes among the ladies.
Of the prize-winners Marks the
Lawyer was ''immense," both for
his fine skating and funny acting,
and the Blind Man was equally good
in his role.
