The Literary Exercises.

The park known as Little Britain on
King street was teeming with old and
young at the appointed hour for opening
the literary exercises. A large pavilion
enclosing an elevated stand for speaking
from coon had its commodious seating
capacity crowded with most represen-
tative cosmopolitan audience, the for
eign community excepting Chinatown
generally turning out to enjoy thorough
American celebration OF the American
Republics natal day.
The Royal Hawaiian Band having
PLAYED a series OF airs by way of over
ture. DR.. J. S. McGrew called the assem-
blage to order, when Rev. E. g. Beck
with, D. D., offered q fervent and patri-
otic prayer, remembering in thanks
giving for and invocation OF heavenly
blessings both the fatherland and these
tropic isles OF sojourn to many American
citizens.
His Excellency George W. Merrill,
United States Minister Resident, made
Introductory remarks in substance as fol-
lows: He said he appeared before them
so often that he hardly needed an intro
duction, but he noticed that he was
always on the programme for introduce
tory remarks. he had prepared no
speech, fearing that if he had done so it
might prove tax upon their good ma
ture. But he was happy to have the
pleasure OF greeting so many friends on
this beautiful sea girt isle for the fourth
time at the national anniversary, and
gratifed that the interest in their native

proceedings retained their interest from
year to year They had g country to be
proud Of, which they had seen struggle
up from infancy to manhood. They have
seen that beloved country beset by foes
without as well as within, but the evil
efforts of such had only increased ma
tional fidelity, strength and importance
among the nations OF the world. They
had faith in God that this advancement
OF the nation might continue, without, at
the same time, being jealous toward
other powers. To Hawaii at this time
he was glad to extend the right hand OF
fellowship and say that Americans
wished it peace, prosperity and happi-
ness. The speaker had fervent amen
to utter to the prayer at the opening OF
the gathering, hoping it might be heard
at the throne Of grace, not only now but
down through centuries to come. Mr..
Merrill concluded by humorously calling
the next piece on the programme, after
ward in very felicitous terms introducing
the gentlemen having leading parts in
the proceedings. Thus, Mr.. Jones was
the baby born in Faneuil Hall" and
Mr.. Townsend a son of Iowa, that sent
more men to put down the rebellion,
while the women at home raised more
wheat, than any State in the Union.
After Marching Through Georgia"
was sung by the audience, led by select
voices and the band, Mr.. P. G. Jones
read with Evolutionary force the ''Decla-
ration of Independence, and then ''Star
Spangled Banner" was rolled out from

The Grand Ball.

The spacious Armory OF the Honolulu
Rifles was decorated lavishly with tro-
pical foliage and flowers, flags and orna-
mental banners for the grand ball that
constituted the finale of the crowded
days celebration 1t was fitting that
the adornment OF the assembly place
should have been gorgeous, for more
brilliant society event has seldom if ever
been seen in Honolulu. What with the
CAV apparel Of the ladies', glittering uni
form Of naval officers, and the thorough
ly representative character of the civilian
element present, viewed against fairy
land background Of artistic conception,
the scene at the height Of the bali none
who enjoyed its contemplation will ever
forget. Royalty was represented BY
Princess Liliuokalani, and, with man
hood, youth and beauty whirling in the
giddy mazes or moving in the more
stately promenade, the assembly pre-
sented Pl -ture OF Kaleidoscope and en-
trancing splendor.
