At the appointed hour the procession started, and entering the Palace gates, the schools and societies took up the respective positions assigned to them. Thm ferffllAnt weather continued, and strange to say, the morning star was seen In the heavens at 8 a.m., shining cotera-poraneoasly with the sun.

The Hawaiians regard this as a happy omen. At 11 a.m. the aun was. obscured by clouds, and remained so' 4 until the very moment of "Crowning" was being solemnized. Like a mechanical transformation scene to take place at an appointed- ml aute.

On the conclusion of the ceremonies, the band played Meyerbeer's celebrated Coronation March," and as the people dispersed there was a general feeling of approbation expressed with the successful manner in which the whole-pfoceedings hud been conducted.

Flags were displayed in every direction, and the harbor presented an uu-unusually gay appearance with four full-dressed men of war, and twenty-two merchantmen. The kiter-island steamers and schooners also put forth all the bunting they. possessed. Longi Lie the Kino The whole emblem was made bv Messrs. Wenner Ac Co.

of this city, and is a beautiful piece of work. The Puloulou is the emblem of protection. In ancient times spears, from each of which were suspended a ball of kapa, were set np to indicate that the space thus enclosed was a refuge to which any one guilty of a crime might fly and be safe from unlawful punishment. Placad now at the right of the throne, and its borne on the national coat of arms, it symbolizes the pro tection that the laws afford to all. The Kahili of Pili is a very ancient embl em of royalty.

The oa now standing on the right of the Throne, with the Puloulou, is the same one that the Chief Pili brought back with, him upon bis recall to the Throne of Hawaii. Pili, King of Hawaii was of the 26th dynasty prior to the present King. Computing 22 years as the average length of the reign of each King, this would fix-lha date of bis reign at about 572 years ago, or ia the year 1311. His father, Laau, was deposed from his Throne, and a republic established." At the expiration of two years however, the republic collapsed, and Laau, who had retired to some one of the islands to the south of thia group was sent fir. HU son Pili returned in his place and ascended the Throne The kahili now known as his; is made of white feathers, and is in a good of preservation.

The aword of State placed in the King's bands as the ensign of JusTice and Mercy, ie an 'exact counterpart ol that of England It baa a straight blade, of fine Damascus steel inlaid in gold with the Hawaiian coat "of arms surmounted by the crown and bearing tba motto of tbe realm. The bilt, guard and cord and tassels are of gold, the hilt and guard beautifully engraved, as are the gold mountings of tbt purple velvet sheath. Tbe Royal mantle ia the one which was worn by the Frst Kamehaneba, and is one of the most superb emblems of loyalty ever worn by King or Kaiser. It is a seni -circulsr cloak about four feet in length, coverug an area of 25 square feet when spread out, ant is made of the small gold-en-bued feathers of the O-o. These feathers, each about the size one's little finger nail are fastened to a fine net-work of fibre made from the bark of tbe Olona.it such a manner that they overlay each other.

There are at least 5003 of these feathers used in the cloak, and, as there are but two taken from eich bird, which have to be snared in tbe dense mods, where they are by no means abundant, it will be seen that the first cost of the cloak is very peat, and that the keeping of it in order an endless task. This mantle is only worn Dy the reigning Sovereign. There are shorter cloaks anr3 worn by Aliis or chiefs, their length being regulated by the rank of the wearer.

Prince Kawananakoa then advanced with the Crowns, the Choir singing the following Hymn Almighty Fatherl we do bring Gold and gems for the King Pure gold for the true Chief, The symbol of true Love. Gems of the hidden mine, Gleaming forth a glory The glory of the unfoldine Isles.

That grow in wealth and peace That come to crown their Kin. The heir of the farthest ages Chosen by The Almighty Father! To whom the honor and the glory. Amen. The Honorable President of tin Legislative Assembly then took the King's Crown and raised It up before the people aud placed It In the hands of the Chancellor, saying I present this Crown to the rightful King of these Islands, approved by Acts of the Legislative Assembly in the Legislature of the Kingdom assembled of the years 1880 and 1882. The Chancellor then placed it in the King's hands, saying Receive this Crown of pure gold to adorn the high station wherein thou hast been placed.

The King then raised up the Crown and placed it upon bis head. The Chancellor then took the second Crown and placed it In the King's bauds, who rose and placed it upon the Queen's Ticr-kQ reverently bowed her head on receiving it, theTOng saying. I place this Crown upon your head, to share the honors of my throne. A prayer then followed, Their Majestic kneeling but even the richest velvet lacks the golden shimmer and gloss of the feather cloak or the King of Hawaii. The Ring, the ensign of kingly dignity, is of Etruscan gold, massive weighing nearly an ounce and bears on iu broad surface a shield in which is set a carnelian, engraved intaglio with the Hawaiian coat of arms.

The seal ia surmounted with the crowo, and below ia a ribbon bearing tbe legend Ua mau ka ea ka ama i ka pono, with the star of the crown of Hawaii pendent. On each side of the puield are tin tw supporters, two Hawaiian chiefs, carved in full relief, bearing spears. Outside or each supporter is a solitaire diamond of one carat weight. The Sceptre, the Ensign of Kingly Puwer and Justice, is ofgold, about 2 feet 4 inches in length. divided by the design into three parts.

The base and shaft are shaped as an Ionic column, bound around with the Roman fillet. The shaft of the column has the laurel leaf entwined about its doliihed surface, and tbe capital is finished with three rams' beads, symbols or strength. The central part, by which the sceptre ia is covered with imperial velret, and the third, or upper part, of the shaft, is surmounted by a Globe on which is perched a dove with outstretched wings, tbe emblem of Peace.
