AT THE MAUsoLEUM.
The remains arrived at the Royal
Mausoleum about half past two o'clock
Her Majesty the Qneen, with the Princes
Kawananakoa and Kalanianaole, entered
the building attended by Major Robert
son, the Chamberlain, and took their
seats at the foot of the bier prepared to
receive the coffin. They were followed
by Her Majesty's Ministers, members of
the Legislature, Privy Council and the
staff officers. Behind the Queen stood
Col. Baker and Capt. Lilikalani, bearing
the late Princes jewels. The interior of
the Mausoleum was fragrant with the
perfume of choice flowers of all colors,
some made into the most beautiful de-
signs.
After the royal mourners were all
seated, the remains were carried from
the hearse to the bier in the Mausoleum,
which was alongside the coffin of his
late Majesty Kalakaua, in the centre of
the building. On the coffin were placed
the late Princes sword, etc.
The Rev. DR.. Beckwith broke the
mournful silence by offering up prayer
committing the body to its last resting
place, and then pronouncing the bene-
diction. This was followed by the sing
ing of the hymn abide with me, -
beautifully rendered by the Kawaiahao
Seminary chorus.
Then followed the imposing cere-
monies of Masonic Lodge LIE Progress
The members of the Lodge, with MEM
bers from Hawaiian Lodge and visiting
brethren, marched in slow procession
into the Mausoleum to the strains of soft
music from the organ presided at by
MIR. Wray Taylor, organist of st. An
drew's Cathedral, who also played at
other portions of the beautiful ceremony.
After the members had taken their
positions around the coffin, Bro.
John Phillips, in distinct tones,
commenced the service by reading
"Once more, my brethren, have we as
sembled to perform the last sad and
solemn duties to the dead. The mourn
full notes which betoken the departure
OF spirit from its earthly tabernacle
have again alarmed our outer door, and
another has been taken to swell the
numbers in that unknown land whittier
our fathers have gone before u.s." etc.
This was followed by the invocations
rehearsed by Bro. J. 7. Downey, the
members responding $50 mote it be T."
Bro. DoWney laid the white apron on
the coffin, after which the brethren
moved three times around it in process
sion, each depositing on it a sprig of
evergreen as he passed the head. The
pubic grand honors were given three
times the brethren saying, "Ihe will of
God is accomplished. So mote it be.
Amen"
Bro. David Dayton continued the
service as follows: "From time imme-
mortal it has been the custom among
the fraternity of Free and Accepted
Masons, at the request OF a brother, to
accompany his remains to the place of
lnterment, and there to deposit them
with the usual formalties of the craft"
etc. The prayer commencing, cal
mighty and eternal God in whom we
1--we, and more, and have our being; and
before whom all men must appear" was
most lmpressively read by Bro. the Rev.
Alex. Macintosh, the brethren. at the
conclusion, responding, so mote it
be-"
Brother Peck, advancing to the head
OF the coffin, said "Soft and safe TO Won
my brother, be this earthly bed. Bright
and glorious be thy rising from it." etc.
Bro. the Rev. Alex Macintosh pro-
nounced the benediction; then the
brethren sang the funeral hymn:
Solemn strikes the funeral chime,
notes OF our departing time;
As we journey here below,
Through a pilgrimage of woe.
This concluded the service, which was
OF the most solemn and grand character
throughout. The brethren retired from
the mausoleum immediately after the
singing of the hymn. Three vollevs were
tired by the household troops. Her Ma
Jesty remained alone in the mausolenn
fifteen minutes after the Masonic service
was over, and the doors of the building
were closed on the dead few minutes
later. Headed by the band, the military
and tiremen marched back to town.
