LIGHT REFRESHMENTS PLENTY
Managed and the Music Elegant-Talk of
Having Military Hops More Frequent
Officers Consider it sWilI be beneficial.

Never in the history of the National
Guard of Hawaii has there been given
such a successful military hop as the one
that took place in the drill shed last
night. True various companies have
arranged for events of the kind at differ
ent times but last nights hop was the
result of the concerted efforts of each
and every company of the N. G. II.
From morning until night for two or
three days past men from the different
companies were kept busy decorating the
hall with flags of various nations and
pennants of different shapes and colors.
To this array they added just the right
quantity of green's to soften the effect
and render the whole scene pleasant for
the guests to look upon.
From the center of the hall and run
ming out to the four corners were strings
of Japanese lanterns and it was about
these that the pennants and small flags
were hung so gracefully.
All about the sides of the hall and in
front of the company rooms were the
large flags of different nations draped
here and there to produce pretty effect
while in front of the entrance were ar
ranged as a screen, large American and
Hawaiian flags.
Perhaps the most beautiful spot in the
whole hall was the stage arranged for
the accommodation of Prof Berger's or
chestra which discoursed delightful music
for the dancers to take advantage of.
This place was likewise draped about
with flags but what rendered it SO notice
able as being separate and apart from
the rest was the profusion of growing
pa Inns of various sizes among which the
orchestra sat.
AS upon previous occasions the com
pany rooms were thrown open for the
accommodation of the guests
Long before the dancing begun the hall
was crowded with the members and
friends of the various companies of the
NJ G.. H., numbering some three hun
dred in all. Among those present were
President Dole, Attorney General w. o.
Smith, officers of the n. G. H., officers
of the u. S. S. Adams, Mr.. and Mrs.
Geo. Paris, Mr.. and Mrs. Du Roi, Mr..
and Mrs. w. w. Harris Mr. and Mrs.
C. D. Wilson, Mr.. and Mrs. MacStocker,
Mr.. and Mrs. II. II. Williams, Captain
and Mrs. Lorenzen, Mrs. Hutchinson,
Mrs. Elizabeth Parker, Mrs. Boardman,
Mrs. Warner, Misses Williams, Along CD,
Smithies, Perry, Messrs. w. Porter

Wilder, J. Cassidy, NJ. D. Monsarrat, j.
NJ. Monsarrat T. P. Cummins, c. II. w.
Norton, Geo. Angus, and DR.. w. T. Mon
sarrat.
The first and second parts of the dance
program were composed of nine dances
each with two or three extras apiece.
During the intermission between the two
parts came the refreshments served in
one of the back rooms and distributed
throughout the hall by the various gem
tlemen. The credit of the excellent
supper is due Caterer Chapman who saw
that nothing in his line was wanting.
The second part was completed shortly
before L o'clock and then the merry
throng, sorry to leave the scene of so
much enjoyment, betook themselves to
their respective homes feeling that the
n. C. H. had afforded them right royal
time in truth.
Following is a list of the committees
who carried to such a successful point
the hop of last night:
