had finished their tour OF Oahu and
would return by the Pail road in
the evening. The message stated
that the reception to the Prince

their horses and under command of

by the leaders OF the party and by
the quintette club.

reached the usual gale was blowing
aud the country below was covered
with a light mist Suddenly the
m sj4stic rocks were brilliantly illu-
min sted by Bengal lights in blue
aid red making most wonderfully
picturesque tff.ct on the grand
scenery. Sky rockets were sent up
to notify the advancing party that
their friends awaited them.

the Princes carriage we're dimly
seen through the mist. They be-
came more aud more distinct, and
suddenly the mist rose leaving the
Ian Escape 10 all its beauty visible to

the last corner and amid splendid
pyrote ,hnical display, the blowing
Of trimpet's and the wild cheering
OF the young Democrats the Prince
arrived at the head Of the Pali.
