CONTINUED from page One.)

before half-past ten the reviewing
stand was reached. Several mounted
policemen preceded the procession
and kept the road clear
The men passed the reviewing stand
in company front, and three ruffles"
were blown for the admiral by the
Marine bugle band On the stand
were: Governor Frear, head of the
territorial forces, Admiral Thomas,
Admiral Switzerland, Admiral Cowles,

err Terhune, Territorial Secretary E. A.
Mott-Smith, Colonel Jones, Chief JUS
tice Robertson, Judge Dole, Auditor
Fisher, Major Campbell, Captain Car
/ ter, Lieutenant Andrews, and the
staffs of the respective admirals.
The men saluted those at the salut-
ing post in the usual manner of eyes
right while the officers lowered their
swords.
The coIors Honored.
! AS the colors went past, they were
greeted with applause, and very
large percentage of the spectators re-
moved their hats. In order to facili-
tate matters the subdivision of each
battalion after passing the reviewing
stand took up double time for about a
Tblock. This worked we'll, and the men
went past without any delay whatever
The procession continued on up
King street and turned Fort street,
at the foot of which street the men
were dismissed, and then found their
way to their ships.

The uniform and equipment were:
Officers, service white with leggings,
equipped swords and canteens; sea.

gings and canteens, marine battalion
khaki, lightly equipped without haver-
sacks, color guard, white dress with

Police Arrangements.
! The police department did excellent
work in keeping order. All along the
line of march the people were kept
in check, and especially at the square
near the reviewing stand were the eff

for they regulated the traffic and as
signed automobiles, that would other
wise have been placed in position
that INSTRUCTED the view on the side
walks, to places where they were out
of the way, although the occupants
could see well.
Buildings Decorated.
The request of the Merchants AS
ISOLATION that some sign be shown
that the parade was taking place, was
obeyed by many of the storekeepers
Flags were run up on many of the
buildings, and some of the window
d frames were draped with red, white
and blue streamers bearing white
stars.
Flags were festooned on Other
places. The Hawaiian Electric Com
pany made an excellent display with
its several American flags that hung
out of the front of the building, From
the balconies of many residences along
the line of march national flags We're
hung.
The Sightseers.
The Capitol park, of course, was a
favorite place with the crowds. The
view obtained from inside the rail
ings on the King street side was ex
celent, and naturally this was taken
full advantage Of Along the side
walk, too, the throng was many deep
while in Palace Square the automo-
biles were assigned some excellent
positions.
/ Housewares on the streets along
which the men passed held receptions,
and friends were accommodated with
chairs in the balconies, or on the la
nails, while in some instances plat

and their friends were thus able to
