HOW THE MEN FOUND
THEIR entertainment

Scores of men from the battleships
found their entertainment, as sailors
proverbially do, in horseback riding.
By 7 clock sailors on horseback were
to be seen all over town. They not
only had great deal of amusement
themselves out of it, but they created
good deal for others. A group IF
these mounted sailors on King street,
near Fort, about O'Clock had the
entire street crowded with people who
found an interest in the way they
rode and their remarks about their
steeds and other things.
There was not very great deal of
street-car riding by the men last night.
Certainly there was nothing to indi-
cate that they are at all likely to
abuse the courtesy of free rides on the
street cars. In the aggregate there
were good many men from the feet
taking street-car rides as source of
entertainment, but not more than there
would have been in any event.
A good many men from the fleet
found their way out to Oahu College,
where the night blooming cereus was
last night at its best. Later in the
evening the blossoms began to appear
downtown as boutonnieres
The rest places that have been pro-
vided seem very likely to be appreci-
ated. There were not a great many
bluejackets at any of them last night,
partly, doubt, because the men have
not yet generally learned of them and
partly because, this being their first
night ashore and coming ashore only
after Ave 0 clock, they did not feel ia
tigued. But still there were some WIS.,
itors The place opened in the Young
building was found convenient for let
ter-writing.

The Navy is well represented at the
Seaside and Moana hotels, Captain
Switzerland Of the Vermont registered

Captain Bowyer of the Illinois enter
tanned a party of officers at the Sea-
side, where R. H. Patchin, the Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Herald, was the guest for the evening
of his old Panama companion, William
Hoogs, now of Honolulu. The two
snapped many yarns of their expert
ences in and about the, great ditch,
Patehin having accompanied President
Roosevelt on a tour of inspection. The
Herald correspondent was loud in his
praises of the decorations at Waikiki.

such outdoor ballroom as this. Homo
lulu is the garden spot of our cruise
so far, and this is fairyland''
The lights were turned on at both
the hotels last night, and Solomon in
all his glory was not so gorgeously
arrayed. There was a blaze of rainbow
colored lights from the end of the Mo
ana pier to the beach, along the beach
and past the Outrigger Club to the
Seaside Hotel where sunburst of cleo
tric lights illuminated the great dane
ing floor under the kiawe trees.
The warshiDs will send well-selected
crews to paddle against each other Sun
day afternoon, and the officers at Wal
kiki say that the men of the feet will
turn out in force to witness the surf
board riding and canoe racing.
With the glowing reports that those
who visited Waikiki are taking back
to the ships, it is certain that the ball
tonight will be attended by every of
fcer who can secure shore leave.

ENTRANCE OF THU:
WHITE BATTLESH|PS

AT half-past ten the smoke of the
approaching fleet could be plainly seen
by those gathered along the front. and
there was hurried footing of launch
whistles and quick cries to "get
aboard" on the part of those excur-
sionists already on the floats and tow
boats. The battleships came up rapid
1y, and there was general sigh of re-
lief after some hundreds had counted:
"One," two" three and so on UP
to a triumphant twelve" Not one
of the battleships had been lost any
where between here and San Fran
cisco!
Strung out across the sea horizon,
like flock of great gray honkers,
winging for the home fields, came the
battleships, the Connecticut leading.
With a great sweep the vessels head
ed across the mouth of the harbor,
the flagship signaling. Then the five
vessels under orders to enter the har-
Dor headed in and the others swung
around, nose in toward the reef, and
the anchor chains ratified as the war
ships came to rest after their twenty
two hundred mile run.
Pilot Macaulay, who waited outside
anCnOr1ng
given, headed his boat for the Ad-
miraPs flagship. Pratique was given
with little delay to the Connecticut
and Wisconsin, the flagship heading
in through the channel shortly after
one o'clock, while from shore and tow

only noisy part to the welcome Honolulu

tleships themselves was disciplined
quietness, the crews lining up for dock
ing while the crowds assembled watch
ed, pleased and interested, but quietly.
The returning Mauna Loa, with the
reception committee aboard, showed
enthusiasm. but on the whole the sight
Of the twelve great fighting machines
seemed to impress and subdue the hun
dreds who watched their close ap-
proach.
Aboard the Claudine there were
cheers given for each of Uncle Sans
their anchorage, the credit for the
cheering being due, according to those
who Joined in it, to Rev. E w. Thwing,
who acted as volunteer yell leader
and whooped it up with an enthusiasm
contagious to those around.
There was little time lost aboard the
vessels that swung at anchor outside.

waving of caps. When "Dixie' was
played there was stiffening of forms
at the rails and a show of fondness
for the good old rsllicking tune which
rouses American hearts even more than
the grand old national anthem. Other
selections included rtAloha Oe' and

FINE VIEW FROM THE
YOUNG GARDEN

A fine point of view was that from
the roof-garden of the Alexander
Young Hotel, more particularly from
the top of the tower used by the
Weather Bureau. where forty or fifty
invited and unlimited guests of Direc-
tor Stockman assembled.
1t was about half-past eleven when
the smoke of the approaching fleet was
seen beyond the couchant paw of old
Leahi, and soon the Connecticut came
in sight, followed by her armored sis
terhood. In sharp contrast to these
of the Inter-IsIand Company, one or
two sailing craft and the little steamer
from which the Japanese exploded
their daylight fireworks. It did not
take long to compose the twelve bat
tleships off the harbor, during which
time two auxiliaries and the hospital
ship moved seward to take up their
assigned positions. Somewhere to-
wards one o'clock the Connecticut was
seen to take on pilot and move slow
ly toward the harbor entrance. Ar
irving off the former site of the light
house she was greeted with salute
of thirteen pops from the little guns
at the naval station, returning a sa-
lutte from six light guns, in honor of
the eommapdant of the local yard,
Captain Corwin P. Rees. Following the
Connecticut four other BATH eships en-
tered and locked.

STREETS FULL
Of S|GHTSEERS

A gala city was Honolulu last night
with thousands of townfolk mingling
with a couple of thousand blueiaekets
to witness the electrical illuminatious.
1t was an inspiring spectacle wherever
the eye caught the mass of color. The
crowds were in fine humor and entered
into the spirit of the occasion.
At clock the bIueiackets and ma
rines allowed shore leave came ashore
and spread over the town, invading the
restaurants and cafes, stores, and, in
fact, every place that was open. AS
evening approached, people came into
town, every car being crowded to the
limit, and when the electrical display
began, it was the signal for sob 'si'
and "Ah Isl" Fort, King, Hotel and
Bishop streets were the points more
particularly selected for rendezvous,
and in places. the people massed until
it was difficult for autos and carriages
to pass through. The press was great
est before the Alexander Young Hotel,
where the Examinations were of par
ticular attraction. The building, en-
tirely outlined with electrical mean
descents, was the subject of much ia
vorable comment by the men of the
fleet, as was also the Capitol, the Rapid
Transit powerhouse and the Hawaiian
Electric Office:
After making the round of the res
taurants and cafes the sailors sought
stores that were open and laid in sup
plies, and then looked for amusements.
The moving picture shows along Hotel
and Bethel streets were invaded and
many went to the Orpheum. In China
town and Japtown, in fact, wherever
one went, the sailor was to be found.
1t was an orderly CROWD, all in all.
The feet patrol of seamen, each carry
ing billy and set of handouts,
was apportioned through the city to
keep order. They had little to do, but
were a moral force which every sailor
respects. This patrol has been used
wherever the feet has anchored and
has been most efficient.
Everybody was out for good time
strangers, bluejackets and
everybody seemed to find it.

HOW FLEET LOOKED To
THOSE ON MAUNA LOA

With the Hawaiian band, led by
Kapellmeister Berger, playing national
airs, passengers waving flags and shout
ing alohas, the battleship fleet was met
off Diamond Head at 1880 O'Clock
yesterday morning by the reception
committee aboard the Inter-Island
steamship Mauna Loa. The Mauna Loa,
followed by the Claudine, loaded with
passengers, passed down the line of
twelve warships and then, circling
about, followed the column formation,
catching up with the tail-end Kentucky
and passing along the stern of the Con-
necticut as that vessel wheeled about
to enter the harbor.
The Mauna Loa carried the reception
committee of which Ex-Governor Geo.
R. Carter is chairman, together with
numerous crowd of passengers. On the
sides of the Mauna Loa were stream
ers inscribed reception Committee. J"
The hurricane deck was assigned to the
committee, the band and special guests.
Governor Carter provided each member
of the committee with a small Amer
lean flag. The sea was slightly choppy
to Diamond Head, but beyond was
choppier This had an effect upon the
members of the band, and when Cap
tain Berger essayed to make the welkin
ring with martial music, many of the
horn blowers were down and out.
Just as the Mauna Loa was nearing
Diamond Head a funnel of smoke arose
from the sea off in the direction OF
Molokai. AS the steamer sped on, an
other funnel, then another, until a
dozen tunnels arose seemingly in esche-
Ion and evenly distanced. The forma-
tion was almost a straight line
however, and the spectators on the
steamer decks crowded forward that
they might lose nothing of the specta-
ele, for never before had such a scene
been presented in Hawaiian waters.
Then as the feet came nearer, the spec
tators saw even more beautiful sight,
that of the prows dividing the white
capped pillows and throwing aside great
windows of white.
As the flagship came opposite the
Mauna Loa the band played the cred,
White and Blue,' and passing down
the line played almost every air dear
to the patriotic heart. Not a sound
was heard on any warship as the reeep-
ton committee steamer traversed the
line, though the decks of the fighters
were thronged with white-garbed sea-
men and officers. But to those who I'M
derstood that the vessels were pass,
ing along in battle formation and not
yet on holiday parade, the silence was
of the impressive kind which greets
stage and people after a splendid piece
of acting-a demonstration more worthy
than thunders of applause.
But as the Mauna Loa circled back
and caught up with the battleship Ken
lucky, the band played "My Old Ken
lucky Heme,'' and then across the wa.

nese mind. Many of these fireworks
were very effective, and the whole was
an interesting expression of greeting
to the fleet.
The Connecticut came slowly down
the harbor. Just as her bow passed
the line of the lighthouse which marks
the entrance to the channel, guns at
the Naval Station broke into salute.
The Connecticut replied, and just at
1888 she swung around the lighthouse
buoy and was inside the harbor. Her
orders when she left San Francisco
were to be inside Honolulu harbor by
1 o'clock, July Is. The hour was kept,
with two minutes to spare.
The crowds which had watched the
approach of the feet from the vantage
ground Of Diamond Head, or Kaimuh,
or Of Punchbowl or Pacific Heights, or
from the roof of the Alexander Young
building or the roofs or windows of
other high buildings, for half an hour
had been surging toward the water
front. Every wharf was crowded and
the whole waterfront lined, as the
Connecticut moved down the channel.
It was not a demonstrative crowd.

admiring and an appreciative crowd.
The elements which had formed them
selves earlier in the day into the pro-
cessions that moved toward the high
places in and about the city, now re-
formed themselves into the mass that
verged toward the waterfront from
every direction. There were Chinese,
tatives Of almost every other Asiatic
country. There were representatives
of almost every country in Europe and
every State in the Union. It was a
cosmopolitan crowd, heterogeneous in

AS the Connecticut came down the
channel a squad of marines from the
Naval Station marched over to the
Oceanic wharf and took possession,
stationing a guard at every entrance.
The Connecticut was to dock at the
Oceanic wharf. The Connecticut swung
around the lighthouse buoy; again 1t

AS the Connecticut entered the har-
Dor, the Wisconsin entered the channel
from the sea. It took the same
feisurely course down the channel to
the Alakea street wharf. The Wis
consin was followed by the Kansas and
the Minnesota and the Vermont, in
order, the Kansas going to the Alakea
street wharf, and the Minnesota and
the Vermont to Naval Wharf No. 2.
With the mooring of these vessels,
the fleet had arrived. Five vessels
were in the harbor and seven outside,
while four, the Louisiana, the Virginia,
the Missouri and the Ohio, comprising
the third division, under Rear Admiral
Emory, had dropped their anchors In
the roadstead at Lahaina at 1925
O'Clock in the forenoon.
