THE CROWDS
ON THE STREETS
LOWER KING AND BERETANIA
SWARMED WITH THOUSANDS OF
SPECTATORS OF THE SHOW.

Bishop street in front of the Young
Hotel seemed the climax of the crowds
that lined the course of the parade. 1t
was convenient to all the lines of cars
centering down town. 1t thus caught
most of the belated Corners, and the
large number Of people who, kept at
their regular avocations for the day,
vet snatched a few minutes as the
parade moved through the center of
the town to witness the pleasing spec
tacle Aside from this, however, it
was purposely sought by many hum
dreds as a good place from which tC
view the parade. Both side of this
street were lined by as many as could
crowd inside the curb lines. The fence
around the green square on the Eva
side of the street was lined by spec
tators when the procession passed. The
windows and balconies of the hotel
were crowded.
King street was crowded on both
sides of the street from Bishop street
out to Thomas Square. The great plate
glass windows of Levers & Cooke were
| splendid places from which to view
the parade, and Mrs. Robert Levers
and Mrs. A. f. Wall had a large party
of friends with them to take advantage
of this fact.
The high fence of the Capitol grounds
proved rather an obstacle to good view,
so that there were few within the
grounds though the sidewalk outside
! was crowded But the open grounds
of the judiciary building offered m-re
| inviting space and it was crowded A
| good many public employees saw the
! parade from here, among them Presi-
! dent Pinkham of the Board of Health.
The residents of the Kaiulani Home to-
! gether with many of their friends found
the shaded grounds and lanais of the
home a splendid place from which to
! see the passing show. Kawaiahao
churchyard was another place that at
| tracted hundreds, while on the other
! side of the street, the KawaiahaO Sem
| mary, and the Castle Home provided
many and interested spectators.
Judge and Mrs. Robinson witnessed
the parade from the lanai at the resi-
nee of Mr. and Mrs. NJ r. Simonton,
near Alapai street. On the beautiful
grounds o fthe Charles Anterior place
a very large party of invited guests had
unobstructed view.
From a point Eva of the Catholic
| Cemetery clear up to Thomas Square
the mauka side of the street was lined
/ with private carriages drawn there to
| give their occupants almost the first
and certainly a splendid view of the
parade Among those who saw it
tNr. IraN~
and his family, party which included
Mr. and Mrs. Charles milford Robin
son, r. e. Hosmer and President and
Mrs. Grifiths of Oahu College, and
Justice and Mrs Arthur A. Wilder and
Judge Lindsay and Mrs. A. NJ. Brown.
Justice and Mrs. Wilder and Judge
Lindsay and Mrs. Brown were in Mrs.
Wilder's char-a-bac.
From Thomas Square out toward
Waikiki Road the sidewalks were not,
of course so closely lined, and yet there
seemed interminable hundreds here.
| Many came to this part of the line of
parade thinking it would be less crowd
ed.
Hotel street and lower Eeretania
presented the same appearance as re-
CARDS crowds that lower King street
did. The grounds and lanais of the
Hawaiian Hotel were crowded. The
hotel was strkingly decorated, and
American and Hawaiian flags seemed
to float everywhere.
At Central Union church and little
farther along at the Methodist church
there were great crowds and so on al
along Beretania street to Kapiolani
Another great rendezvous for specta.
tors was the Moana Hotel and tina
part of Waikiki Road near there
1t is hard to estimate the size of the
crowds on the streets but their mum
bers ran far up into the thousands.
