Washington's birth lay yesterday
and the parade of the First Regi-
ment, N. G. H., had in it a spirit
of patriotism which showed the true
Americanism of the members. Under.
the eye of their Chief,
Governor Dole, the National Guard
were at their best and the multitude
which gathered upon the parade
ground in front of the armory and up
on the streets was not in the least dis
appointed at it's appearance.
Prominent members of the Legisla-
ture, headed by DR.. N. Russell, presi-
dent of the Senate, were present with
the Governor and his military staff and
expressed their pleasure at the excel
lent discipline displayed.
At o'clock the troops began assem-
bling in the armory and at 2:30 Col
onel Jones gave the command for the
formation of the review, The troops
by companies marched out of the build
ing and formed by battalions, Company
F, under Captain Sam Johnson, hav-
ing the right of the line. During its
preliminary evolutions prior to taking
up it's position in the battalion front,
Captain Johnson's company evoked
much favorable comment by it's sol
dierly appearance and it's movements,
which were characteristic of the disci-
pline of regular troops. The same can
be said of Nahara Hopas company of
full FLOODED Hawaiians, recently or
ganized. The latter took the eye of the
Independent legislators and justly, too,
for the men, almost evenly sized, were
under perfect control.
| Major Zeigler, senior battalion COM
mander, formed the troops for presen-
tation to Col. Jones. Upon the appear
ance of Governor Dole, accompanied
| by his private secretary, A. g. Halves
Jr., both wearing frock coats and silk
hats, and Captains Pratt, Wall an6
| Ashley, the band under Captain Berger
struck UP a national air. The Govern
| or took up position under monkey
pod tree affording sufficient shade fol
himself and the members of the Legis-
lature, who were as follows: Senators
DR. N. Russell, D. Kalauokalani, j
Brown, D. Kaineha, Kaiue, J. Kahilina

formed in a single line in front of tn
Governor, who then personally pinne'
upon the breast of each the bronze sta
and it's tri-color ribbon, making com
ments upon the record gained by tn
guardsmen. He said that although tn
medals might not be greatly apprecl
ated at present, yet as time passe
they would prove mementos which
felt sure they would prize above
else.
The Governor then invited the 1egis
IlatorS to accompany him in his inspec
ton of the troops and a large numbe
availed themselves of the opportunit!

thence to Fort, thence to Merchan
thence to Palace Square, theme
through the caIitol grounds to tn
