FEAST OF NATIONS.
Beautiful Scenes in the Beretania
Street Armory.


Street Armory.
Anybody who would find fault
with the Feast Of Nations should be
banished to French Frigate Shoals.
1t affords new and splendid evidence
that whatsoever the ladies Of Homo
lulu fud to do they do it with their
might. The opening procession to
band music at 4 o'clock was pretty
spectacular exhibition. Although
the spacious hall was crowded with
spectators au avenue was made for
the gay column, composed OF the
: brilliantly costumed occupants ol
the various national booths. The
order was: Hawaii, China, Japan. In
dia, Greece, France, Germany, Nor
way and Sweden, Great Britain.
America. and Spain.
When the procession dispersed to
the booths the fair soon opened up
in lively manner. An endless va.
riety of fancy goods was exposed
and the buying was steady il not
very brisk. The flower girls did a
good business on new and nice
plan--that is, they modestly asked
one to buy the favor at a moderate
price, instead OF the old fashion of
seizing a victim, pinning bouquet
on his coat, and demanding fancy
price for it afterward. 1t is likely
o,hing was lost by the change, for
nobody tried to avoid the pretty
creatures.
All the booths are remarkably
handsome in design aud decoration.
They are so distinct from each other,
too. that il would be ipvidious as
well as foolish to attempt to give
any one pre.eminence over another.
A very brief description is all there
is space for here.
