desired to be in the front rank so as 10
gain full view of the procession. This
resulted in the people being constantly
pushed right in the path of the travel,
blocking the carriage way. Police Off
GERS did yeoman service toward keep
ing the roads clear.
During this time the wailing and,
chanting was hardly in evidence at all
only once in a. while some old native
who could stand the tension no longer
would break forth in prolonged wall
or chant.
At about / 80 o'clock the parade
formation began. The Engineer corps
with cleaning arms and crepe draped
standards marched up and took their
place on King street between Punch
bowl and Richards streets. Soon after
the National Guard with soldierly pre-
cisiOn took its place along Punchbowl.
In the distance the different societies
and organizations could be seen march

the positions assigned them.
1t was truly royal view, unique and
picturesque, which met the eye of the
gazer. In the churchyard thronged the
black-garbed people intermingling with
those of lighter garments, gorgeous
eguipages and those not gorgeous, the
mass of sodiel-y, the richly caparison-

presented pretty much the same ap-
pearance as on Saturday. The decora-

were making the preparations for the
services that were scheduled for
O'Clock. The floral offerings kept COM
ing IN until the last moment. There
were crowns of lima, crosses of carna-
tons, baskets of violets and aSters and
streamers of male. These were placed
in position as fast as received.
The twelve kahiH waivers, clothed
with their feather capes, never once
faItered in their work. The stiffness
and the regularity in which this was
done, aroused an unusual interest.
At few minutes past | o'clock the
native people grouped about the main
doorway of Kawaiahao, were given adj
mission to the balcony. The rapidity
with which every available seat was
taken and the aisles and hallway be-
came congested was wonderful. When
several hundred were let in, it was
found necessary to check the crowd.
