Descriptions Along the Route- Notes
and Comments.

The royal party arrived at Mahukona at one o'clock last Wednesday. Her Majesty was greeted with a salute of 21 guns. Two barges were sent to the Kinau by a tow line and were drawn ashore by steam. The first contained the Royal Hawaiian Band, and was followed by the Queen's barge. The Hawaiian Band played airs from the ship to the shore.

Upon arrival at the landing a special train was in waiting to convey the royal party to Niulii. All who were entitled to ride thereon were furnished with a special pass by Wilder's Steamship Co. Along the route each station was tastefully decorated by the plantations in the following order: Hawi, Union Mill, Kohala, Halawa and Niulii.

At every station Her Majesty was met by a crowd of people composed of natives and foreigners. At each station Her Majesty appeared upon the platform of the car and made a few appropriate remarks, which were received with enthusiastic cheers.

The royal party arrived at Niulii at 4 p. m. on last Wednesday, where Her Majesty was received by a committee of natives and foreigners. A carriage was in waiting which conveyed Her Majesty and H. R. H. John O. Dominis to a large house in the neighborhood, where Her Majesty held a reception. At the reception Her Majesty delivered a short speech. She was followed by Attorney-General Whiting, who spoke in the name of Her Majesty, to the people. Mr. Whiting's remarks were interpreted by Hon. E. K. Lilikalani. The people present were greatly pleased with Mr. Whiting's speech, which was received with frequent cheers.

At 5 p. m. Her Majesty was entertained at a grand luau given by the people. The table was laid in a large parallelogram with the royal party at the head. The Royal Hawaiian Band played select airs during the feast. Toward the close of the luau Mr. A. Powell, one of the highest officers of the Mystic Shriners of the San Francisco Shrine, conferred upon Her Majesty the Queen the highest degree of the Mystic Shrine, the same degree conferred upon His late Majesty the King while in San Francisco.

At 6 p. m. the large concourse of people bid Her Majesty farewell and the royal party returned to Mahukona, where they arrived at 8 p. m. An immediate embarkment was made and the party arrived at Kawaihae at 11 p. m., leaving again at 3 a. m. last Thursday morning for Laupahoehoe.

As soon as it was daylight the Kinau was greeted with the blowing of plantation whistles and the tooting of horns along the entire Hamakua coast. At 9 a. m. last Thursday the royal party arrived at Laupahoehoe, where a salute of 21 guns was fired in honor of Her Majesty, the Hawaiian band playing on board. During the stay at Laupahoehoe a boat load of hookupu was sent aboard by the Queen's subjects.

At 10 a. m. the royal party left for way ports and Hilo. Salutes were blown from whistles all along the route and the plantations all flew the Hawaiian flag to the breeze. The party arrived at Hilo at 2 p. m. As soon as the vessel came to anchor a large double canoe, decorated in ancient style and paddled by a dozen or more natives, came off and conveyed Her Majesty to the landing, where she was received by a committee of the people of Hilo.

Our Hilo correspondent furnishes the following account of Her Majesty's reception at Hilo:

The Queen of these islands arrived at Hilo by the steamer Kinau 7th inst. Extensive preparations had been made to receive Her Majesty. The dock was prepared in great taste. The familiar word "Aloha" was seen on arriving. At the corner of Waianuenue and Front streets there was an immense arch covered with evergreens. Another one of equally great dimensions was near the telephone office. At the residence of Hon. J. T. Baker there was an arch over the gate in the centre of which was a floral crown composed of a great variety of beautiful flowers.

Many of the stores and offices special pains had been taken to decorate as handsomely as possible. The school children were all out dressed in white to receive Her Majesty. They were ranged along her route to the residence of Mr. Baker, whose guest she was.

The Queen was taken from the wharf in a beautiful new private carriage. There were several mottoes along the route, such as "Long live the Queen," and "Aloha Oe." At the Custom House office Collector Crabbe had the words "Aloha Nui." At the entrance of the Catholic Church, "God Save Our Queen."

Friday at 3 p. m. there was a luau at the Court House park. An immense lanai had been erected with iron roof to seat a very large number of persons.

The invitation to attend was extended to all, as ample means were at command-three hundred dollars from the Hiloites and two hundred dollars from the plantations. At least three hundred persons were entertained at the feast.
