BASEBALL TOURISTS Z!
Arrival Of the Alameda with the
Ball-PlayerS.
They are Loyalty Entertained.

lne hoyal MAIL steamer Alameda
after disappointing everyone on Sa-
turday by her non-arrival, was sig
nailed off Diamond Head at half
past five O'Clock Sunday morning.
Soon after that there was consider
able activity all over town and
crowds Of people began to assemble
on the different wharves. AS the
steamer lay off the bell buoy wait
ing for the pilot, telescopes and
opera glasses were brought into re-
QUESTION for the purpose of inter-
probation of the various signals dis
played by the steamer as to the re-
suit of the Presidential election.
The Hawaiian flag was noticed flying
from the foremost and as it had
been arranged by Mr.. G. +. Board
man before leaving San Francisco
with the Hon. I'll. A. Widemann,
that it should be hoisted there in
case Of the election of Harrison,
shouts Of ''It's Cleveland" we're
soon turned into those of "It's Har-
rison." A bandanna flag displayed
on the steamer gave the Democrats
considerable hope. After the steamer
had passed the lighthouse it became
pretty generally known that Harri-
son was the next President of the
United States. Within half an hour
after the arrival of the Alameda an ex-
ira was issued from the Daily Bull
LETIN office, giving the result of the
electoral vote, with other news. This
extra was pretty we'll scattered
through the town.
The deck of the steamer as she
drew near the dock was lined with
passengers, among them several
well known island people and the
Spalding baseball tourists. The
Hawaiian band was on the wharf
and played several appropriate Sc
lections as q welcome to the tour
lists. Mr.. George w. Smith had
previously boarded the steamer and
presented number of our residents

an enthusiastic baseball man him
self.

were in readiness and conveyed the
baseball party to the Hawaiian Ho-
tel, where shortly afterwards they
partook of breakfast.
