THE ROYAL PARTY.

Continuation of the Tour A
Series of Arches and Inscrip-
fiOns-Her Majesty Visits the
Volcano.
Early on Wednesday morning, May
11th, the steamer Kinau, bearing Her
Majesty the Queen and party, arrived at
Honuapo. AS the vessel came to an
anchorage, Hon. J. Kauhane and Judge
j. III. S. Martin came out to the steamer
to meet the royal party and invite them
to 60 ashore and enjoy the bountiful
hospitality of the place. The Queen
graciously accepted the invitation, and
all went ashore. A train was in readi-
ness at the landing. The Misses Martin
and Kauhane were there, and as the
Queen boarded the car, these native
daughters OF Kau placed wreaths of
MALE around the neck of the Queen.
When the royal party passed under the
first arch, bearing the motto Aloha ka
Moiwahine," the people cheered Her
Majesty again and again.
The train proceeded for the depot,
where three or four hundred people were
waiting with special car, gorgeously
decked with evergreens, males and
other mount ain blossoms. Judge Mar
tin headed the procession with Mr.. S.
kaahu as standard bearer. AS the pro-
cesslon moved on, several hundred ma
tlves pulling the special car for the royal
party, the people accompanying it con-
tinued cheering the Queen every two or
three minutes When the second arch
was reached, which had the following in
scription, E Ola ka Moiwahine," the
people again gave three cheers. The
same honors were accorded Her Majesty
when passing under the third arch,
which bore the following words, "E mau
kou noho ana ma Ike Kalaunu Hawaii
(May you continue to reign over the
throne of Hawaii).
E ola Liliuokalani Ike Akua," were
the words inscribed on the fourth arch.
Here the women joined the men in pull
ing the royal car. The motto on the fifth
arch was: Welcome Our Queen" The
words on all the arches were done with
ferns and flowers, and flags foated in
the breeze from each arch. After pass
ing the last arch, the procession halted,
and Judge Martin introduced Mr.. G. @.
Hewitt, Manager of the Hawaiian Sugar
Plantation Co., and also Mesdames
Martin and Kauhane, to the Queen.
They attended the Queen to the resi-
dence OF Judge Martin at Naalehu. At
the gate were stationed Masters Martin
and Smithies, bearing the symbolical
midday burning torches, and at the en-
trance to the house, stood Misses Martin
and Smithies holding Kukui-a ike
awakea." On entering the house, Judge
Martin introduced Mr.. j. K. Kekuula to
the Queen. Mr.. Kekuula then addressed
the people. At the conclusion of his
speech, the Queen made a few remarks
to those present, which were heartily
received. Three cheers were then given
for the Queen, the Prince Consort and
the Princess Kaiulani.
In the evening, the Royal Hawaiian
Band gave a concert, and all Naalehu,
from far and near, turned out to hear
the music.
On Tuesday, the Queen visited Waio-
hinu, and in the following day, the Royal
party visited the volcano of Kilauea.
The Prince Consort and the band re-
manned at Naalehu. A concert was
given by the Band on Friday at the house
of Judge Martin at Waiohinu. The
steamer w. G. Hall met the Queen and
party on Saturday at Punaluu, and on
the following day she left for Kona. The
receptions given by the people of Kau
were very brilliant affairs, all striving to
do his or her utmost to make the visit
of the Queen and party pleasurable as
well as beneficial.
