keen was the desire of the scholars to
carry out the program in it's entirety
that the decision was made to go ahead.
Six special cars were used to carry
the Kamehameha party and the Royal
Hawaiian band to the Mausoleum. The
trip took longer than might have been
expected for the heavy grade on Nuu-
anu and the slippery condition of the
tracks rendered locomotion difficult.
Arrived at the Royal cemetery the
scholars paraded, despite the driving
rain. There were fifty-one girls, sixty
one small boys and a hundred and
thirty big boys, the latter being split
up into two companies under command
of their own officers.
Principal Horne was there as were
the following lady teachers: Misses Lee
mon (Acting Prinipal Girls Depart
ment), Robinson, Knapp, Lawrence,
Church, Harrison, Yoch Thomas (2),
Baker, and Smith; Messrs. w. Clark,
s. L. L. Livingston, Ira Eskew, W. d.
Barlow, E. O. Hall and Rev. j. L. Hop
wood, Chaplain.
The band under command of Captain
Berger took up its position at the gate
of the cemetery and to the strains
of "Safe in the Arms of Jesus" the
procession wound slowly in.
Among those who were present to
watch the whole service We're Her Ma
jesty Queen Liliuokalani who was in
carriage with Governor Cleghorn but

Consul Hon. Chang Tso Fan with Ma
dame Chang was also there A not

The services took place before the
beautiful red granite sarcOphageous
which marks the resting place of all
of the Kamehamehas but the first of
the line. The ancient tabu sticks in
front were flowers wreathed. There
repose the remains of the Princess
Pauahi and to the right, the larger girls
marched, the smaller girls took their
position on the left. The small boys
formed up Immediately i'm front and
behind them were the two companies
of big boys with the school ensign be-
tween them.
The services opening with the singing
of "Pauahi, Ke Alii' by all of the
scholars led by S. L. Livingston. Never
was the song sung under more i'm
pressive circumstances. Beside the
grave of the noble woman who endowed
the schools the ones now beneftting
from her thought stood bareheaded in
the rain and sang their song
"Blest type of woman hood, SO true,
so pure, so good,
Thy praise we sing: Thy praise we
sing
For bounteous gifts and free. In all

Whereer thy name is found, Where

Thou lov'dst so WELL Thou lov'dst so
well.
Every influence grand. In youth of
this bright land f..
joyous loving band-Most richly
dwell.
The smallest girls and boys stepped
forward, eight of them in all, and COM
mened the decoration of the grave. The
decorations were simple, but beautiful
in their simplicity. Fern leaves were
first placed over the entir surface and
then the royal lima, the puaahiahi and
some marigolds and chrysanthemums
were strewn above these.
This duty having been accomplished
the program continued as a surprise
to those who were uninitiated for the
little lads suddenly broke into unison
with "The Earth is the Lords and the
Fullness Thereof" and recited the well
known psalm the small girls altTnat-
