KaumakapiIi Church was overflow
ing at 1880 yesterday evening, the
hour appointed for memorial services
over the late King. Scores of people
walked away when they found the
aisles blocked ahead of them, and
many carriages drove up only to 90
away again.
Mr.. James w. Robertson, who with
Mrs. r, occupied the royal pew, was
there to represent Queen Liliuoka-
lani. Many prominent residents were
present.
The Kawaiahao Seminary choir
were seated on one side of the organ,
They were dressed in white with
black sashes. The Kaumakapili
Church choir dressed in black sat on
the other side.
Mr.. Wray Taylor, who was in
charge of all arrangements, opened
the exercises by playing funeral
march on the organ, the solemn
strains skilfully evolved from the
splendid instrument filling the house.
Rev. O. p. Emerson gave the open
ing prayer in Hawaiian, followed by
the hymn, II heard a voice from
heaven" sung by the seminary choir
led by Miss Patch.
Rev. j. Waiamau read Psalm %,
and the Kamehameha School BOYS,
directed by Mr.. Theo. Richards,
sang hymn. Mr.. Waiamau offered
prayer, after which MIR. Taylor gave
the ''In Memoriam' funeral march,
comp sed by himself for the Kings
funeral, very effectively on the
organ.
Hon. A. f. Judd, Chief Justice,
then delivered the main address of
the evening, which sketched the his
tory of the kamehamehas, and alIud-
ed to the religious prosperity Of the
good Queen Kaahumanu' regency.
He paid Tribute to KaIakaua's devo-
ton to his youthful studies and to
learning in his manhood. His fevent
hope was expressed that Queen Liliu-
oHaIani would reign beneticentIy in
righteousness,
Miss Patch sang, "Nearer my God
t. Ihee,' in excellent voice. Rev.
J. Wajamau delivered an eloquent
address, laying emphasis on the late
Kings practical interest in Kauma-
kapiIi Church, to which in great
measure were due the handsome edi-
flee, its organ the grandest in the
kingdom, its patent chairs, etc. The
peoplc were implored by him to up
hold the throne Of LiIiuokaIani with
that patriotic loyalty they had shown
to kalakaua. The Seminary choir
then sang the hymn "Jerusalem the
golden"
Mr.. p. r. Isenberg sang a solo
that was the musical feature of the
evening. 1t was, "Father | bend to
Thee and the opening notes en-
chained every ear Mr.. Isenberg's
singing needs no praise in Honolulu.
He never sang better than on this
occasion, which is saying enough,
Rev. +. g. Beckwlh, d. d., in
terpreted in Hawaiian by Hon.
Antoine Rosa, delivered an address,
in which he repeated part of his SER
mon on the new reign, preached
Sunday evening in Central Union
Church. The natives were much i'm
pressed with his sentiments.
The kamehameha School chorist-
ers sang hymn, "Jesus these eyes
have never seen. Dr. Beckwith
offered prayer, and the Kaumakapili
choir sang, with their well-known
ability, the hymn, Rise my soul"
After the benediction by DR.. Beck
with, the audience dispersed to the
notes Of Memberships funeral
march on the organ.
The unqualified success of the
musical part is very creditable to-
Mr.. Taylor, who also planned the
entire services.
