occasion being a grand ball given
by Her Majesty Queen Liliuoka-
lani in honor of Rear Admiral E.
NJ. Paragon and Captain F. Bes-
son and officers of the French Flag
ship Dubourdieu, now visiting this
port. The interior of the hand
some building was decorated and
illuminated with wonderful effect.
The Throne room with its hand
some furniture, crystal electric
light chandeliers and floral decora-
tons presented a most charming
and attractive appearance, while
in the grand hallway the potted
plants arranged in the alcoves and
the festoons of evergreens added
much to the pretty scene.
The guests as they arrived were
received at the Richard street en-
trance to the basement of the Pal
ace by officers of Her Majesty's
staff and conducted to the dress
ing rooms, the gentlemen using
the Chamberlain's Office, the la
dies the large room on the oppo-

side of the hall leading from the
dressing rooms to the stairway APP
proaches to the grand hall, were
flags of all kinds, also hung over

effective. The Royal Hawaiian

Berger played during the arrival of
guests and also for dancing, being
stationed at the mauka end of the
hall close to the Throne room.

rayon and officers of the Dubour-
dieu and Admiral Brown and
officers of the San Francisco, and
then the other invited guests, the
band playing appropriate selec-
tions of music. Dancing COM
menced shortly after 8 o'clock, and
what with the handsome costumes
worn by the ladies and the uni
forms of the naval officers, the
scene in the throne room was very
pretty. The arrangements were in
every respect as perfect as possible,
and Major the Hon. J. W. Robert
son, H. Ms Chamberlain, must be
warmly congratulated on the en-
tire success of the ball, for it was
very successful.
Shortly after II o'clock supper
was served in the spacious dining
hall, and the eatables supplied
