ALAMEDA BRINGS A
BANNER LOT OF MAIL
Liner Arrives With Jolly Crowd
of Passengers and Much
Freight.

TO reach quarantine at San Francisco
in time to have a medical inspection
by the quarantine officers, and she had
to lie out in the stream all night and
therefore did not actually get into her
slip until last week Wednesday morn
ing. Then the federal inspectors of
hulls and boilers wanted to examine
the vessel, and they took their time,
and therefore the good old ferryboat
did not leave the Coast port for Ho-
nolulu until Sunday noon. She made
good time on the way down, five days
and nineteen hours, and was off port
at her usual time yesterday morning.
A number of young people must have
sat up all night waiting for the Ala
media, for they were off Waikiki in a
launch when the boat passed up to the
quarantine, and they literally poured
leis over the side. These were for
the young ladies who represented Ha-
wall at the Seattle fair. 1t was
graceful tribute to number of very
pretty young ladies.
There was plenty of music all the
way down, for Ernest Kaai and his
band of Hawaiian musicians who play.

returned. As the Alameda left the San
Francisco dock, the musicians PLAYED,
and they played all the way down, and
took a large part in a concert given
the night before the liner arrived at
. Honolulu.
The fair girls looked extremely at
. tractive in their smart modish gowns,
and with their abundance of leis it was
observed that no prettier set of young
ladies could have acted as hostesses for
Hawaii. The young ladies had good
time at Seattle. They were greatly ad-
inired and entertained in the homes of
Seattle folk, and the young ladies de-
clare that no people could have shown
them more courteses.
The Alameda brought eighty eight
cabin and twenty-five steerage passen-
gers. Although this is large crowd,
yet the Alameda has accommodations
for about 100 cabin passengers. She
also brought over 1000 tons of freight
and COZ bags of mail, which is practi.
cally record delivery. The postoffce
people have had to make special ar
rangements to handle this big lot OF
stuff. Five new big autos were brought
on the steamer.
