The new naval militia, in its natty !
white, blue.tr6mmed serge uniform,
led by Lieut.. Richard f. Lambert, fol
lowed, and after IL came the gray clad
cadets of Kemehameha School, in fine
military styles under command Of Capt.
A. s. Booth. Then esme the two com |
paries Of lads from the Honolulu !
School for Boys. led by Capt. Parker |
Widemann. They were in white and
carried rifles, not the heavy army ,
rifles but light ones, suited to their !
age and size but nonetheless designed |
for service.
The fifteen surviving members of
George de Long Post, No. As, g. A. R.,
rode in covered motor bus, bowling
and smiling to their friends who greet |
ed them along the route. Behind them
marched about, fifty men in civilian
| garb but with the red sashes over the
shoulder Simplifying their membership
in the patriotic Order of Red Men.
Other Veterans In Line
Then came the Spanish War Veterans,
four or five companies of them; mostly
in khaki and most of them bronzed |
fellows apparently approaching middle
age. they had their silk flags, az did
all the other organi 'ations; the Stars
and Stripes and the beautiful colors
of their company organizations With
them were two bands, that of the
Fourth Cavalry and one from the
Coast Artillery Corps,
Just behind them was a company of
the Veterans of Foreign Wars also
with its banner; the men largely in
civilian attire. Just ahead Of the au-
t"mnbile bearing the Governor and his
, staT walked the Boy Scout Company
commanded by Sergeant Barry, the
Youths of many nationalities bearing
,, the stats Of their order.
In the. machine with the Governor
we're Brig. ,GenS Samuel /. Johnson. N.

Better weather for Memorial Day
services scarcely could have been ask
ed. II perhaps was little warm for
marching, but not as hot as il has been |
, on most former occasions. Rain threat
ened throughout the program at the
| cemetery but withheld, and the lower
ing clouds drifting down from the Pail
Obscured the sun just enough to check
it's fierce rays, while a strong breeze
blew down the valley and brought
, blessed GOODNESS TO the dense crowds
! gathered in the bIrial ground.
All Graves Are Decorated
As usual, all graves bore the floral
tokens Of rcvercnt memory and hun
drcds OF small flags marked the corn
ers at grh.,s.covered plots.
Playing solemn funeral drge the
Royal Hawaiian Band debOuched from
the parade when it reached the en-
, trance to the cemetery and proceeded
up the little graveled avenue to the
! G. A. X. plot. The Kamehameha cadets
and the members of the Order of Red
| Men preceded it, forming in lines
through which the band, the G. A. X.
} veterans and the Governor and his staff
marched.
Around the sides of the plot rows
of seats had been placed, and these
we're occupied, on the one side by Span
ish War Veterans and their wives, on
another by the G. 4. X. men, on the
third by the speakers stand, where the
territorial executive and officials of the
day took their places, and on the mau-
ka side by the firing squad, chosen
from the national guard.
The first number Of the program was
n reading of General Logan's order,
issued in 1868, creating the organiza-
ton Of the Grand Army of the Re.
public. This was given by c. II, Dick
ey, one Of the veterans. h. A. StrOut

post, delivered the opening ritual.
