As they progressed on their rounds from place to place, the guide pointing out places of note, giving an interesting history of the place and people, their customs, habits and peculiarities, he found himself very much interested in his guide and his narratives, and wished to know something of his history. So he asked him: "Are you a native of Honolulu!" "No, sir," was the response of the guide. "Well," continued the Captain, "where are you from?"

The City Council caught the spirit and approved the suggestion, and on the 27th of July, 1899, unanimously passed the following resolution:
