the Park.


headings. AT noon a royal salute was
fired from the shore battery, U. S. F. S.
Vandalia and FL. B. NJ. S. Cormorant.

from those warships, the Japanese
steamship Takasago Maru and other
merchant vessels in port, while official
and private bunting flew to the
breeze all over town. This anniver-
sary of Kamehameha the Great, has,
however, long if not 1mmemorial
usage for being considered as the day for

waiian Jockey Club recognize it as such,
and this 18th of June was that organlza-
TONS fifth annual meeting

lani Park to do or watch the sport and
sporting, or to take the full benefit of an
outing with whatever congenial pleas

Band, Prof. Berger leading in person,
was shed over the whole lively scene at
short intervals. Orderliness ruled in
the main, breaches of prOpriety or the
peace being comparatively rare. Many
