of lolani College, as also the NJ.
Andrews Priory giils school, coming
on the ground in regular marching
order, formed very pretty l,oecs
sicns.
The rvlukaira girls school,
marshalled by Miss Corney and the
assistant teachers, made splendid
appearance. One of the girls walked
in advance Of the procession, and
carried present from the school,
consisting of q silver fork and spoon
in case of silver and curly maple
covered with gold colored plush,
with His Majesty's initials, mono-
gram and crown inscribed, and also
handsome banner birthday card.
The Hawaii Fire Engine Company
came in, led by the Reformatory
school band. The Fishermen's
Society made an imposing appear
ance. Borne in front was flag,
with the words, "Ka Hui Makeke
Nalaniehiku' (The Seven Kings
Market Society, while eight stalwart
natives bent under aa eNtemporized
hand-barrow bearing an enormous
calabash over which was festooned
done shaped canopy, from the center
of which hung large portrait of
His Majesty, and in conformity with
an ancient Hawaiian custom said to
have some special reference to the
reigning family, two of the process
sionists bore large kukui nut
nambeaux wrapped in ii leaves.
| These torch bearers also stood, one
at each corner, at the foot of the
Palace steps until the torches
burned out. The parade of the
Royal School was superb. The
bows, in uniforms of white, striped
with red, headed by two drummers,
marched in eight abreast, to the
number of 2S5.
THE PUBLIC.
At little before 3 o'clock, a
miscellaneous throng of all nations,
grades and conditions was admitted
to view the gorgeous interior OF the
Royal residence. For the greater
part of an hour might be seen re-
spectacle citizens in full dress,
Cinnamon in their blue dimity, ma
tives and foreigners in thousand
styles of outfit, marching up the
steps, some to pay their respects to
the King and Queen, and the rest to
gaze and have to say that once in
their lives they were inmates of a
palace.
ILLUMINATION AT THE PALACE.
At night-fall the verandahs
around the Palace were lit with
colored lanterns, fixed at short inter-
walls along the ratings, and with the
decorations, gave the building q
very pretty and artistic appearance.
Promptly at G:30, the electric light
was turned on. The apparatus had
been placed in position, and pre-
liminary light up was made on the
previous night. On three sides of
the Palace, in the lanai, and at the
entrances from Punchbowl street and
Palace Walk, and also outside the
closed gate on King street, ten burn
ers of 1000 candle power were fixed
The electric light at once threw
flood of radiance over the Palace
and grounds. 1t was turned off, OF
the arrival of the liremen and while
the fireworks were in progress, ant
, turned on again afterwards. This
arrangement, it seems, has givel
currency to false rumor that the
light proved q failure by going out
THE FIREMEN's PARADE.
From what is known of the Homo
lulu Firemen, whether on duty ol
holiday, it would be quite enough tc
say that they mustered for a granc
procession, to convey the idea tha
the affair was a splendid success
On this occasion, they eXcelled them
selves. The parade was literally, a
well as iiguratively, one of the mos
brilliant pageants ever seen in thi
city. The decorations of the engine
! and hose carts were on the mos
, elaborate scale. The procession
