disappointment that there we're no
musical strains from the local aggre-
cation to greet the March King on
his arrival to these hospitable shores.
Somebody Numbered.
The facts of the matter are these:
Berger told the boys of his band who
work in the theaters to be at the
wharf as soon as possible after the
whistle had heralded the fact that
the Makura had been sighted. To the
other members, however, he stated
that the boat would not be in until
ten o'clock. Therefore, there was
no need to be on hand until that hour.
The consequence was, there was no
music, and only a few members Of
the band were present when the big
vessel locked before eight o'clock.
Sousa soon left the steamer, and 30
did Manager Clarke, while the men,
bers of the band drifted ashore in
twos and threes. Needless to say
the miscarriage of the plans was a
big disappointment to all concerned.
Passed by DR.. Norris.
The Makura practically came right
in from sea. The customs and immi-
grafton officials were on hand early,
and they boarded the boat as soon
as she was at an anchorage The
wireless message dispatched by DR..
Ramus, authorizing Dr. Norris, head
of the Commonwealth quarantine serv-
ice, to pass the ship was not received
on board until nine o'clock last night.
Had this been in his hands earlier
lot OF Inconvenience would have been
avoided immigration Agent Farmer
had to wait for about an hour and
half this morning while the purser
was making the rounds of the ship
with the doctor. Had the purser been
left to assist Farmer, the ship would
have come in sooner and the passen-
gers would not have been held on
board when she was at the wharf.
In the circumstances, the delay can
lot be attributed to the local immi-
grafton officials. The British custom
S that the purser shall accompany
he doctor on his tour of inspection.
The trip over was an excellent
me, and was thoroughly enjoyable
throughout. The steamer has a large
list-27S all told-every
lass being well patronized. For here
he has forty-four passengers, and a
General cargo, comprising whisky,
am, grass seed, dried blood. wine,
ulphite of ammonia, frozen meat and
Dutter.
The Makura will sail at half-past
en- tonight for Vancouver, and be a
ull ship when she leaves. She will
axe on a fairly large cargo here.
