parade early in the morning, and an
bour before the time set for the line to
move the Capitol grounds and adjacent
streets were crowded with sightseers
The parade was formed under the di-
rection of Grand Marshal j. H. BOYD
and a corps of assistants, all mounted
The first division, composed OF the Ma
tional Guard companies, formed on the
makai side of the Capitol Square; the
Red Men formed on Richards street,
while King street was taken up by We

ments, and with the floats and deliv-
cry wagons.
THE START.
The start was not made until a lit
tie after 9 O'Clock, but everything went
like clockwork, once the line was in
motion. Everywhere the streets were
lined with people as the parade moved
in line of march along Merchant to
Fort street, thence to Vineyard, to
Emma and to Alakea and back to the
Capitol grounds. There was but one
slight change in the program, when it
became necessary to take the steam
roller out of line because it could not
keep pace with the procession. This
was done at Fort and Beretania streets,
and the steam engine Joined in again at
the end of the line on Alakea street
REVIEWING STAND.
The reviewing stand was in front of
the Hawaiian Opera House, where
platform had been erected for the pur-
pose. Here sat Governor Dole, Judge
Estee. Captain Rodman and other
prominent officers of the Army and
Navy, and also high officials of the
Territory and National Government.
The reviewing party applauded some
of the displays quite vigorously, par
tieularly the National Guard and ar
tillery.
THE PARADE.
A file of policemen with High Sheriff
Brown and Deputy Chillingworth clear
ed the way for the parade, which was
led by Grand Marshal Boyd, Captain
Jones, Captain Marston Campbell and
Captain John Schaefer. Then came
Captain Berger and his band, just pre-
ceding the National Guard drum corps
Lieutenant Colonel Mccarthy, with
Major Ziegler, Captain Garvin and
Lieutenant Wright headed the First
Battalion of the National Guard, who
made a fine appearance, passing the
reviewing stand at present arms" Ma
jor Camara was in the lead of the Sec
ond battalion, which included also the
newly organized hospital corps. Two
of the larger field pieces, with two Cat
lings and a~couple of smaller field guns.
presented a most imposing appearance
as they passed. Then came the Con-
cordia Band. playing martial music, to-
which the Red Men were stepping in a
lively manner. The Red Men presented
a truly ferocious appearance in their
war paint, with big feathers and buck
skin clothes. They won the first prize
for group characters.
j. +. Quinn came next with a pair of
horses driven tandem, the fastest tan
dem team In the Hawaiian Islands as
he announced. The team was from the
Territory stables.
Uncle Sam Up to Date" was repre-
sented by c. E. Moore, who, DOMINIC
the well-known symbolical apparel of
that old gentleman, was leisurely fol-
lowing the band with an automobile
The Honolulu Fire Department made
an imposing appearance. There were
four engines and four hose wagons,
every one of them deliberately and ar
decorated in flags, bunting, |
and red, white and blue tissue. The en-
gines were polished until every screw
and part shone like FURNISHED gold, |
adding much to the decorative effect
The wagons We're preceded by the Fire
Commissioners and Chief Thurston in
carriages.
Next came the prize float of the pa
rade. an allegorical representation of
Admiral Dewey and the ship Olympia.
The bottom of an old scow was used
to represent the hull of the vessel, and
heavy but formidable looking pipe fur
nished enough realism to make the IL
Iustrati ton good. Admiral Dewey, in
proper uniform, with some of the MEM
bers of his crew were also represented.
w. C. Lyons was responsible for the
float and his display in the judgment
of the committee was we'll worthy of
the first prize of SIS. There were no
other floats, but the fact did not de-
tract from the superiority of the Olym-
pia. ard she would doubtless have CIV
en- any competitor a hard run for first
money. The. committee did not consid-
err that any of the other wagons in the
parade came within the definition of a
float, and so but one prize was
2 awarded.
Then came the delivery wagons, al
pumber of which were quite prettily
decorated. H. May Co. had two waG- /
ons in the parade, one of which was
an artistic show. Salter's delivery
wagon was also worthy of much praise. 1
as was that of ]. E. Goeas, though the
latter made the mistake of not dis
playing his name and the line of goods
carried by him prominently enough.
All three of these firms We're awarded
prizes. The Merchants Parcel Delivery
Co. was represented with two wagons.

Taiian SOFA Works also had two wag-
1ns in the parade. In one of them a
crowd of boys was dispensing the
