els Receive q Popular Ovation.
Long before noon to-day streams
of people in holiday attire we're seen
heading for the city front. The at
traction was the departure of the
S. S. Australia at noon. The p. G..
and Hawaiian National bands we're
to give the steamer a send-off, the
latter chiefly to serenade Mr.. Nord-
hoff, the Herald correspondent, and
his daughter, and Mr.. Adolph
Spreckels, who were outgoing pas
sengers. The bands played alter
nately with each other. The center
of attraction on the steamer was
Mr.. Nordhoff. He was stationed for
ward, and his popularity was attest
ed by the fact that there was con-
tinuaf stream of people heading for
his quarters. Nearly everybody had
a garland of flowers for the Herald's
correspondent and his daughter.
Mr.. Adolph Spreckels also came in
for share. He was perfectly
smothered in leis of all descriptions.
Perhaps never before had the
Oceanic dock held so many people.
The wharf was perfectly crowded
there being scarcely passing room.
1t is estimated that the crowd num-
bered 1000 to 5000. Everybody
wanted to see the celebrated Nord-
hoff, and now and then whisper
would be audible, "Where's Nord-
hoff."
Shortly before the Australia drew
in her lines Mr.. j. f. Bush got up
on one of the mooring posts and
made a short speech, calling the at
tention of the people to Mr.. Nord-
hoff as the man who stood alone in
the fight for Hawaii and her people.
He had accomplished what he set
out to do, viz, to find out the true
phase of the late overthrow of the
monarchy and publish it. He pro-
posed three cheers for Nordhoff,
which were given with a will by
hundreds of Threats. Time and
again rousing cheers were given for
the Herald's correspondent, that
gentleman graciously acknowledge
ing the ovation with a bow. Three
cheers for Miss Nordhoff were also
given, and then three cheers for Mr..
Adolph Spreckels, the National
Band taking part with instruments.
Before getting down Mr.. Bush pro-
posed three cheers to "Grover Cleve-
land, the President of the United
States of America, whose flag never
covered any stolen territory, MOI
ever will"
A regular explosion greeted the
speakers proposal, and cheer after
cheer pealed from the Threats of the
people. 1t was rousing outburst
The National Band played the "stal
Spangled Banner" "Auld Lang
Syne," "The Girl l Left Behind Me,
and wound up with Hawaii Ponoi.'
After playing the last tune the boys
began to sing it, when the P. q
started in to play "Star Spangled
Banner" This so enraged the leader
of the National Band that he STRUCK
up "Queen Liliuokalani March," anG
the too previous deputy bandmastel
Naone, acting in the absence of Prof
Berger on the steamer, was simply
out of sight. The National Banc
drowned the opposition music il
lust two seconds" After playing
the march the boys felt satisfied
that they had paid the score bacl
sufficiently, and they retired Will,
the P. e. band played "Hawai
Ponoi."
A large proportion of the enor
nous crowd was attracted by tn,
two bridal parties and the man,
teachers in our schools going ava,
for a vacation. The main deck o
the steamer was SO packed tina
many eager people were baffled il
the attempt to find their departing
friends when the time had becom
short. Never was there a more pro
fuse investiture of passengers will
garlands.
