off with whoop and hurrah. 1t
was indeed pleasant affair, informal,
and distinctively social in all its feat
ures. The trouble began at 1880 p. IN.
and the last hurrahs died on the mid
night air.
The drill shed was handsomely dec
grated with flags and palms.
The table was arranged in the shape
of three sides of square. In the
center sat Capt. Ashley, toastmaster,
and Capt. Mccarthy, chairman of the
meeting. On either side were Maj.
Jones, Lieuts. Bergstrom and Rowell,
Geo. w. Smith, J. +. Clay, w. II. Sims
and Professor Berger. For music
piano was AT hand near the head of
the table, and the Company min
strels were present with their guitars
banios, bones and select songs.
The banquet began at 1880. Caterer
G.. f. Britain and a corps of assist
ants brought on the feast When this
! part of the program was well under
way Professor Berger wheeled his
chair around to the piano and the
minstrcls unmasled their tom-toms.
/ Several musical selections were pre-
scented, after which Capt. Ashley, in
witty vein. formally opened the toast
program. Capt. Mccarthy proposed
the health of "Our COMMANDMENTS
Chief" George ". Smith responded
in the following words:

You have honored me in calling on
me to respond to toast and a name.

In the history of every nation, Of
every people crises have arisen which
have been the turning point for that
nation or people.
I'm every such cr'o"s a leader whom
/ all could follow and respect. and
whom all trusted was needed, and the
time and circumstances have never
failed to produce the man.
SO in the history of this little ma
ton, with the crisis came the man,
and that he was the one man for the
place has been amply proven by the
events which have followed
We who live in times contemporary
with the events, do not, and from the
nature of things cannot, appreciate
the many factors that go to make up
the trials, the anXieties of the period
we have passed through: nor do we
realize in It's fullness the ability and
craftsmanship shown from January,
1893, down through the trying months
that followed, but the historian of the
future. scrutinizing with an impartial
eye the issues that made the later his
tory of this our country, will write in
letters bold the name of the patriot
and statesman, Sanford b. Dole.
Times to come may bring others to
J others may arise to direct the affairs
of state and shape he policy of this
country, but to us who have followed
and served under him since the days
of 1898, to us who have looked to him
, for the wisdom and sagacity to lead
us TO the goal we are now approach
: ing, row or in the future, whether
under the flag of the Republic of Ha-
wall, on under the flag of that greater
. country, we are so rapidly nearing, he
is and will always be our leader and
our commander.

proposed by Lieut.. Bergstrom, Maj
j. w. Jones responded:

my mind, an occasion of this kind
which draws the members of the com
pany together in social way to en-
JOY the good things, is the very hes
course to pursue, if it is sought t.
maintain interest in company mat
ters.
This may be said to be turning
aside from military drill and disciplin,
but it has its uses and purposes il
that it brings the members of tn,

further strengthens the friendship al
