The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1895-06-03

Fully five hundred members took
| part in the festivities of the evening,
and the enthusiasm displayed from
start to finish left no doubt ia the
minds of the most skepticaI of the
unity and strength of the Organiza-
ton.
1t was an informal affair, no pomp
or extra display, but pleasant min
Cling of genial spirits enlivened by
baked beans, sandwiches and soda
water The guests were received by
Captain McStocker and Captain Rip
ley, while Captain Murray had the
arduous task of looking after the culi-
nary department. Every item Of the
arrangements passed off in manner
that proved the care with which the
committee had done their work.
A most acceptable surprise to the
majority of the members was the ster-
eopticon views displayed by Mr..
Hedemann. While the members were
gathering the Government band dis
coursed a few national airs. About
O'Clock seats were taken at the long
tables. President Dole and Cabinet
Ministers Hatch, King and Smith,
with members of the military were
seated at the head table, while the
different squads divided into their re-
spective sections.
During the stereopticon Captain
Ripley acted as master Of ceremonies.
The first picture thrown upon the
screen was that Of LiliuOkalani lesv-
ing the Legislative hall previous TO
procIaimiDg the new constitution.
Then followed scenes of the revOlu
tiOn of 1S93-the committee of safety,
paying off the old guard, the stars aud
stripes over the Judiciary building.
Then came a picture OF Commissioner
Blount and wife and COnsul-General
Mills. There was 8 sudden lull in the
enthusiasm when this came on the
screen. Pictures of the first cabinet
and finally of President Dole and
members Of the present cabinet were
greeted with round after round OF ap-
plause and cheers for the Presi-
dent. Hon. John L. Stevens and
Captain Wiltse OF the Boston, also
came in for a good share Of the ap-
plause. When the photograph of the
late Charles l.. Carter was thrown on
the screen, at the request OF Captain
Ripley members of the Guard paid
silent tribute by rising in their places.

audience gaZed on these and said moth

cf the military companies and Citizens
Guard squads.
While waiting for refreshments
Capt. McStOcker announced that the
social chat of the programme would be
dispersed by songs. "SwSnee River
Marching Through Georgia." and
"John Browns Body" brought out
many bright and shining vocal lights.
But there are times when even the
Citizeps Guard prefers eating TO sing
ing, and this was one of them. Boston
baked beans disappeared with wonder
full rapidity, and it was bat short
time before speeches were called for.
Capt. McStOcker acted As tO9StmaSter
and general master of ceremonies.
President Dole Was first called upon.
Applause and cheers greeted the Pres
ident a. he rose in his place, and only
stopped when members realized that If
they cheeIed all night the speech
would be postponed. The President
thanked his hearers for the kind and
enthusiastic manner with which he
had been received AZ this his first
meeting with the Citizens Guard Is y
