Mar army, national guard OF Hawaii
and coming guardsmen of the kameha-
meha cadet battalion dipped their
colors in turn, while handclapping and
cheers followed them all along the
deeply-lined route of parade.
Headed by the commander of the
Hawaiian Department, Brig Gen. Nj.
NJ. Macomb, U. S. A., three thousand
khaki and Confederate gray troops
marched to the music of military bands
and bugle corps, passed in review be-

and aDplauded. Splendid formations,
marching in platoon front, passed in
straight lines before the reviewing
stand appropriately placed before the
statue of President Mckinley, whose
hand penned the approval to the joint
cong rcssional resolution which brought
the Hawaiian Islands into the Union
as n Territory and made possible the
presence of so large a military force in

Thousands of people, men, women
and children, young and old, even in
fants, representing almost all the ma
tons of the earth, watched the parade
and shouted when an organization took
their fancy, while hundreds, of children
a. l..
were barred as celors trooped by and all
upon the reviewing stand rose and sa-
luted the national regimental colors as
ach organization passed.
Along the entire line of march from
the Executive Building grounds, along
King street, Victoria street and Bere
tanian avenue, hardly foot of side
walk space was unoccupied. Where the
troops turned from one street into an
other the thoroughfares were blocked
with dense masses of humanity, while
around Thomas Square wires had been
stretched to keen the snectators off the
street, as the platoon formations occu-
pied the entire width of Victoria street.
