where they were disbanded. The mill
tary made a most creditable showing,
and several Of the companies were ap-
pauded for their good marching as
they passed In front Of the building.
MILITARY REVIEW.
| The military part of the mornings
/ program was a striking feature. Never
before has the local regiment OF vol
| unteers looked better. The uniforms
Of the men were clean and neat ami
buttons and arms were polished to a
fault All the companies paraded full
| fronts. Colonel Jones was in COM
mand.
The line of march was headed by the
! Hawaiian band under Captain Berger.
! Next came Batteries X. and /, Of the
/ 9th Artillery, under Major Ennis Fin
ally, were the volunteers. During the
/ inaugural ceremonies the troops were
| drawn up i'm front of the building and
after everything was over they passed
| in review before the Governor.
Marching back to the drill shed re-
freshments We're opened and the boys
celebrated" for an hour
The military review ended the formal
! ceremonies of the day. The Governor
and his cabinet left the grandstand
and entered the building, to hold a re-
ception in the old throne room. The
| whole crowd surged forward to follow
the governor and staff and grasp the
hand of the first American governor
of the Islands and his executive. Cover
nor Dole. with Colonel Soper and the
members of the executive, stood in the
center of the floor of the beautiful
throne room, whose walls and pictures
have looked down upon many a similar
scene, while the people entered at one
door, passed by the officials and shook
their hands For two hours there was a
constant stream of people passing
where the Governor stood, and his arm
| was weary with vigorous shakingS long
before the last citizen had spoken the
few words of congratulation that were
repeated over and over again. ii seem
ed that all the citizens of Honolulu had
come to shake hands with the new Of
iCials. Scarcely a prominent citizen
was absent, and the foreign CCnsuls al
so joined the throng. Their offices all
cease today as representatives commits
stoned to the Republic of Hawaii. Con-
sui General Yang Wal Pin and Vice
Consul Goo Kim representatives of the
Emperor of Japan were conspicuous in
the gathering.
After the reception in the throne
room the crowd began to diSperse, some
for luncheon and others with a view
to attending the last of the Kamehame-
ha races. Captain Berger gave a con-
cert in the ground of the Government
building until the people left, to return
tnlS evening lOf the grand Dali. Ma
Waiian and American music was min
gled, as if to illustrate the union of
two peoples. When noon came the
crowd had decreased greatly, though
many were still on the scene of the his
toric ceremonies.
THE RECEPTION.
The reception following the inaugu-
ration was held in the hall of the
House of Representatives the old

with MALE, with just the touch of color
that small red and blue ribbons gave it.
Where niche or mantel mirror gave
opportunity there We're vases of car
nations and ferns, and where the speak
er's desk usually is, there were potted
palms.

were decorated except that of the Prin-
cess Kaiulani, over the frame of which
was thrown a lei of lima tied with
white ribbon.
