There was brilliant scene in the !
rooms of the Commercial Club on
Saturday night, when that organiza- |
ton gave a dinner to the officers of |
the army, the navy and the marine
corps. Officers of the regular forces
and of the Hawaiian militia in uni
form mingling in the reception room
and the dining room with the mem
bers of the club in quiet civilian APP
parel made a picturesque combination.
Decorations of palms and flowers add
ed to the pleasure of the eye. Stew
ard Hamilton served a fine menu, the
waiting corps being alert and prompt.
James Wakefield presided and at the
appropriate period eloquently propos-
ed the health OF President William
Howard Taft, taking occasion at the
same time to welcome the guests OF
the evening.
Captain Rees, commandant of Homo
lulu naval station, responding to a
toast to the navy said a welcome was
scarcely needed, for the army and navy
had received a thousand welcomes in
Honolulu. The navy had been with
Hawaii ever since the islands became
known to the United States, forming
a part of their history and helping
them in difficulties. The captain con-
cluded by reading a poem on Oahu
which he had written when here in
1876. He was warmly applauded.
Colonel Schuyler responding for the
army humorously told of his expert
ence here ten years ago, when passing
through to the Philippines as colonel
of volunteer regiment, the fun relat-
ing to his compliance with a request
of his 1400 troops to be INDUCED witt
sea bathing at Waikiki. In conclu-
sion he said II his good fairy godmoth-
er asked him what he wished for most
he would ask for a silver tongue to
express on behalf of the Army its APP
probation for the hospitality which
Honolulu had shown the service, and
he concluded by saying Aloha nui to
Hawaii nei"
A band of musicians led by Sonny
Cunha played enlivening selections
during the dinner, and after the short
speech-making period musical special
ties by Henry Clark, R. ]. BuchIy, ].
Dougherty and A. Caceres gave great
enjoyment until about 10:45, when the
