The services over the body of the
late James ]. DOwsett were held at
the late home in Palama yesterday
afternoon in the presence of nearly
four hundred friends, many OF whom
had been intimately associated with
the deceased for a long period. The
casket, placed in the middle of the
large drawing room was covered with
mass of flowers woven into all man
ner of appropriate designs by loving
hands. Very seldom has such an
abundance of floral tributes been seen
at a funeral in Honolulu. They were
beautiful The people sat about the
room or out upon the verandas.
Promptly at o'clock, the Rev. Alex.
Macintosh appeared, followed by the
members of the Dowsett family, who
took their places at the mauka end of
the room where two rows Of chairs
had been arranged for their accOmmO-
dation. Just before the solemn SER
vice of the Church of England be-
gan, a beautiful Offering. a miniature
schooner, with sails all set and flag
flying, was brought in and deposited
at the foot of the coffin This was the
gift of B. F. Dillingham; and was de-
signed to recall to mind the cOnnertiOn
Of the deceased with the early shipping
of the Islands. The colors of the vari-
Gus part of the ship were represented
by flowers. Mrs. Amy L. King made
the piece.
When the voice of the clergyman
was heard, quiet at once reigned. Then
as there came a hull in the words read,
the choir, stationed in the makai end
of the room, sang Just as 1 am with
out one plea" The service continued
and then came 'Rock of Ages" AS
the flowers were being removed from
the coffin, Wray Taylor played Homo
Sweet Home" on the piano. The
strains we're suggestive and there
were not many dry eyes to be seen.
