The Martial Music.
The band of the various regiments
were very conspicuous, and the lively
airs struck up during the marching
made everything brighter There
was no delay, once the parade start
ed, and the different bodies of troops
fell in behind the leaders in fine
fashion.
The crowd was not enthusiastic at
the start, although the National
Guard got a good reception as they
emerged from the Capitol grounds.
The route was along King street to
Victoria street, where, on the McKin-
ley High School grounds, the revie ~
ing stand had been erected.
THE REVIEWING STAND.
AS the military pageant passed up
Victoria street from King to Bere
tania shortly after 10 o'clock this
morning, it was reviewed by Govern
or Frear and his staff and a large
party of guests, including the naval
officers and foreign consuls. Here
one might have expected a prompt
display of enthusiasm, but there was
either little inspiration in the mill
tary showing or the spectators on the
stand before the Mckinley high school
had determined to confine itself to
military formality. They raised
their hats to the colors, applauded
the bands, showed some interest in
the mule battery and occasionally
made a slight demonstration when q
particularly good line of troops
passed. But when the men from the
battleships filed by, clean cut, well
groomed and in perfect line, the re-
viewing stand showed its appreciation
in a burst of applause for almost
every line. and was almost enthusiasts
tic when the ships batteries of field
pieces came in sight Even the
Kamehameha School cadets, the last
in line, received more encouragement
than the regulars from the military
posts.
For half hour before the parade
appeared the friends of the army peo-
pie, in bright attire and cheerful with
keen anticipation of a brilliant show
ing filed into the big stand and took
the seats. Lieutenant Andrews, aide
to General Macomb, directed the seat
ing of the guests. Immediately be-
fore the first file appeared, Governor
Frear and Territorial Secretary Mott
Smith, accompanied by the governors
full staff in uniform, appeared upon
the stand. AS General Macomb and
his staff passed at salute the review
ing audience rose and remained
standing throughout the parade. Coz.
Ors and pennants were dipped before
the governor, officers marched at stiff
and formal salute, and men with
eyes right" after the military fash
ion. The bands all marched by at
full blast, and, indeed, all the formal
ties which tend to show military
outfit at its best were observed, and
yet the reviewing stand at first did
not seem to think much Of it. OF
course, some of the infantry lines had
slight waves in them, some of the ar
tillery horses had INDUCED in rolling

the pressing, polishing and training
that might have been done had not

The Fifth Cavalry band and the Fifth
Cavalry itself ELECTED more applause
than any other military feature of the
parade. The spirited horses, barred
