With determination to outstriE
all otLer events of similar ma
ture, the members of Company B
n. G. H., entered into the work o.
arrangement for the military hop
which took place last night in the
drill shed. That they succeeded in
their determination was amply
proven by the drill hall and the
grounds surrounding.
Each side of the driveway ap-
preaching the drill shed was
marked by q double row of torch
lights.
At the large entrance to the hall
was hung, in graceful folds, large
Hawaiian flag, shutting in the bril-
liant spectacle.
Company DIS room was neatly
and comfortably arranged for the
accommodation of gentlemen, while
across, and most deliberately fur
ished in drawing room style, quar-
tiers of Company A was used by
ladies.
The band stand was in it's usual
position over the Sharpshooters'
headquarters.
Refreshments were served in the
upper left-hand corner of the drill
shed. Flags of various vessels in
port were used to drape the walls.
Caterer Chapman furnished boun-
tiful repast.
Company BIS room was mass
of ferns, palms, flowers and flags,
most gracefully decorated under
the supervision of lady friends. It
was used during the evening as a
place of rest for weary dancers.
At the back end of the hall the
large flag of the American League
was stretched across. In the cen
ter and about thirteen feet from the
ground, was a horseshoe of red,
white and blue electric lights
around the letter B, likewise stud
ded with lights. The design was
the excellent workmanship of Ha-
waiian Electric Company experts.
Below this was a tent fanked on
both sides by small field pieces and
stacks of guns, interspersed with
ferns and palms.
The partitions between the main
hall and company rooms were
draped with flags and green's.
Over the entrance to quarters of
Company B were American and
Hawaiian flags joined by large
letter B made of ferns and flowers.
From tue Orders of the main hall
were hung numerous signal flags.
Running gracefully among these
were strings Of Japanese lanterns,
arranged so as to be shown to good |
advantage by the electric lights
which hung at varying distances
from the roof of the shed.
Guests began to arrive at an
early hour, and before 9 o'clock all /
available space was occupied.
To the delightful music Of Prof.
Berger's orchestra the merry
dancers tripped lightly and grace
fully over the floor.
The wee sma' hours began to
creep in before a thought was be-
slowed on bringing the delightful
occasion to close.
For the complete success of the
evenings hop, the following with
their lady friends are responsible:
