All being seated Rev. j. Waiamau
in Hawaiian invoked the divine
blessing. Then the company fell to
with will on the sumptuous array
of dishes cooked in the native style,
The distinguished guests were priv
legged with knives, forks and spoons,
while those at the lower tables were
permitted to do ancient Hawaiian
honors to the viands with Adam
and Eyes meat hooks.
1t was a cheerful company above
the average of a mixed luau, as, the
guests being seated with good tact
in groups of similar tongue, there
was full scope for sociable chat. AT
the start the fusillade of popping
soda and ginger ale corks by the
hundred made a singular opening
salute to Her Majesty. No sooner
had the Queen and party withdrawn
to the lawn, and the rest of the com
pany risen, than the tables were all
filed by fresh relays. But there was
abundance for all,
The lanai was beautifully decora-
ted. Stripes laid on diagonally of
red, white and blue covered the
trusses overhead. Around the sides
flags of various nations were draped,
and festoons of vines and other
greenery depended from the string
ers. The band on the stand adj
jacent played in its best style
throughout the feast.

an interesting one between the boat
boys and a crew from the U. S. S

by the former. Time, 2Omin. 5sec.
