Estimate; $7,500 - 10,000.

THE UNIQUE ROYAL PLACE CARD OF PRINCESS KAIULANI FOR THE 1886 ROYAL BIRTHDAY BALL OF KING KALAKAUA.

Very few artifacts exist in private hands relating to Princess Kaiulani. According to Medcalf's work on royal stationery, the largest correspondence from Hawaii's favorite Princess is in the Hawaii State Archives. Her autograph is often found on photographs, but due to the demand, it is close to impossible to acquire her writings. Even her royal stationery is unique and in the Lyman House Memorial Museum in Hilo.

Estimate; $400 - 600.

The USS "Philadelphia" was recommissioned 9 July 1898 and became the flagship of Rear Admiral J. N. Miller, Commander-in-Chief of the Pacific Station. She steamed from San Francisco 2 July to participate in the ceremonies attending the assumption of sovereignty by the United States over the Hawaiian Islands. Flagship "Philadelphia" arrived Honolulu Aug. 3rd, and nine days hence her officers and those of the steam sloop Mohican, with a force under arms from the two warships, represented the US Navy at the ceremonies transferring the Hawaiian Islands to the United States. In March 1899, with Commander-in-Chief Rear Admiral Albert Kautz embarked, Philadelphia steamed to the Samoan Islands for duty in connection with the settlement of civil difficulties by the Samoan Commissioners of the United States, Great Britain, and Germany. A landing party from Philadelphia went ashore in the vicinity of Vailele 1 April to act in concert with a British landing party. The combined force, ambushed by adherents of Chief Mataafa, sustained seven killed and seven wounded, including two American officers, Lieutenant Philip Lansdale and Ensign John R. Monaghan, and two sailors killed, including Seaman Norman Edsall, and five bluejackets wounded. Philadelphia remained in the Samoan Islands until 21 May 1899, when she steamed for the west coast via Honolulu. Philadelphia served as flagship of the Pacific Station until 6 February 1900, when Rear Admiral Kautz transferred his flag to Iowa (BB-4). The cruiser continued Pacific operations until 1902, conducting training cruises, drills, target practice, and port visits.
