A picturesque feature was the Japa-
nese band from the flagship Aso. 1t was
seated under large tree, alternating
in playing with the Hawaiian band I'M
der Captain Berger The bandsmen
were uniformed in scarlet blouses,
white trousers and white caps with
white plumes. This dash Of color was
in vivid contrast to the generally white
uniforms of the japanese and American
military and naval officers. Their first
selection was a Japanese national air,
but when the same band burst into the
martial strains of Wagner's' Tam
hauser, the guests halted their CONVEX
sation and turned their attention to
this marvel from the Far East, an ORR
entail band playing Wagner as easily
as the band of Hawaiians at the other
side of the lawn. The music was de-
lightful and splendidly rendered and
the musicians received much applause.
A smile fickered for an instant upon
the stern features of the Admiral and
the Japanese officers scanned the faces
of the foreign guests, and were pleased
to see the interest taken in the band.
With so much music of Japan and the
foreign world played by both bands
the garden party was unique. The Of
ficers and cadets of the japanese cruis-
ers mingled freely with the other
guests and the latter found that many
of the officers spoke English very well
and many pleasant conversations were
held
The punch and refreshment tables
were presided over by number of init
mate friends of the hostess and a num-
Der of ladies assisted in receiving and
entertaining the guests who numbered
seven or eight hundred. The number
of beautiful gowns displayed lent an
added charm to the attraetiveness of
the functions. Among those who were
conspicuous in handsome toilets were
Mrs. McGowan, Mrs. Newhall and Mrs
Porter of California, whose gowns and
hats were superb; Mrs. Cunning Of
Fort Shafter; Mrs. Gerrit Wilder. Mrs.
Lawrence Judd Mrs Harold Dilling-
ham, Mrs. Low, Mrs. Shearer, Mrs.
SCHUYLER.
Toward tire close of the function the
cadets were marshaled into hollow
square with the band in the center,
and with the Governor and Admiral
and party close observers, the cadets
were marched about the lawn, singing
a patriotic march with band aecompa-
niment. The young naval officers
marched with heads proudly erect, dis
playing a sturdiness which called for
admiring comments from the guests.
They sang with a fervor when showed
