Fire. words and fireworks, military
parade and music, entertainment and
some excitement marked tho celebra-
ton yesterday of independence Day.
Hilo may have had the greater at
traction of the two cities, in the way
of sports and mixed events, but Ho-
nolulu had the multitude and the
pomp of power.
The military parade of Monday
morning was viewed by thousands,
thousands of Americans by birth and
Americans by annexation ard spirit,
and thousands of aliens who are not
subject to Americanization. In Anne
rican hearts was stirred the satisfac
ton that comes of a display of Anne
rican forces, while in some other
hearts emphasized the respect due the
flag of the country in which at least
they live and whose privileges they
enjoy.
At 9 O'Clock yesterday the military
procession moved from the region OF
the drillshed ard percolated the prin-
cipal streets of the city. There were
four of the Twentieth Infantry from
Fort Shafter, a battalion of Marines
from Camp Very, the Hawaiian band
and several companies Of the Ma
tional Guard of Hawaii, the Fifth cav
airy band and squadron Of the Fifth
Cavalry from Leilehua. Major Dun
ming led the infantry and was mar
shall of the parade The troops made
a line display and the viewing crowds
beheld' some splendid exhibitions of
marching. The procession was review
ed by the Governor and officers of the
Army and Navy from stand at the
Gore in Palace Square.
The parade over, hundreds crowded
the Opera House for the patriotic lit
erary exercises. A forest scene adorn-

packed with humanity, notwithstand-

The police were, overcome as far as
any regulations in regard to setting
