BROUGHT VERY
LARGE CROWD
ALAMEDA ARRIVES THIS MORN
ING WITH ONE WEEKS MAIL
AND MANY PEOPLE ABOARD.

There was rice flying about the s. S.
Alameda this morning. The cause of
the demonstration was the arrival of
Louis Kenake and his bride from the
coast. Mr.. Kenake's friends were in
large numbers at the Hackfeld wharf
this morning when the Alameda came
alongside and the pair were pelted with
rice as they came down the gangway.
The Alameda brought the largest
crowd of passengers to Honolulu that
has been landed from the vessel, in
months. There were SO cabin and %
steerage passengers to arrive. The
vessel left San Francisco September
26 and had 2S4 sacks of mail, repre-
senting seven days accumulate The
vessel brought $500 tons of general
cargo. She experienced good weather
during the trip. On October 81, the S.
s. Doric was sighted and on the fol-
lowing day two schooners steering
northwest, We're passed. The Nippon
Maru was sighted last night Cap

Alameda is back in her again, as he
has recovered from his indispostion
that necessitated his remaining ashore
TIE ldSI Trip Oh llle vessel.
The Alameda has a new feature now.
Following the example of the big At
lantic liners, the Alameda has a band
aboard. Purser Smith discovered that
seven of the sailors aboard the vessel
We're Germans who had been on other
Atlantic liners and We're all good mu-
scians. He proceeded without delay
to organize them into a select band.
The music will become a regular fea-
ture of the Alameda in future. The
playing of the band was greatly enjoy
ed by the passengers on this trip of
the vessel.
