Rain and wind which set in before

extent that the display was largely a
failure.

the rain began by putting out lights

that hung high on the various craft
that sailed by, and increasing in vol

seats and sent them scurrying home

Set pieces, representative Of many
hours OF hard labor, had been previ-
ously clown over by the wind that
arose with the rain, and only one of
them-a brilliant replica of Kameha-
meha-could be displayed.
A great crowd of people attended
this last event of the week of merri-
ment, and many of them stayed
through the entire display, despite the
discomfort from the rain. 1t was a
happy crowd, too, though the closing
Carnival event was below expecta-
lions.
Brilliant electric lights on some OF
the boats, duller and richer ones on
others, with red fire used effectively
everywhere, made of the parade an
inspiring event that brought Hearty
cheers and handclappings from the
spectators that banked the wharyes.
