HIROHITO 1S HOST 250 Guests Attend Second of | "REAL -ESTATE: AT STATE BAUET Three Great Enthrone- ment Feasts. The volume of building operations By tl.e Associated Press. KYOTO, Japan, November 17.—A brilliant state banquet in modern Oc- cidental style was the second of the three great enthronement feasts given by Emperor Hirohito to his court and the foreign envoys in celebration of his accession. 6:30 pm., in the great hall erected especially for this phase of the cele- bration of the enthronement in the in- closure of the Kyoto palaces. A smaller gathering attended than that which enjoyed the imperial hos- pitality in the first staté banquet yes- terday. The guests numbered only 250, but included again the entire foreign diplomatic contingent of about 100, among whom the chief American repre- sentatives were Ambassador and Mrs. Charles MacVeagh. The Emperor again appeared in full dress military uni- form, Empress Magako in evening gown and the other guests either in full dress diplomatic or court uniform or, as in the case of the Americans, informal civilian evening dress. Music was given by the imperial band of especially chosen musicians from the best bands of the army and navy. The program, throughly Western, included such names as Beethoven, Tschai- kowsky, Dvorak, Grieg and DeBussy. There were no formal speeches. 2,000 at Banquet. The newly enthroned Emperor and Empress of Japan were hosts tonight | to 2,000 guests in the third and last |- of the state banquets. This feast, like the two which preceded it, was held in the magnificent hall erected in the Kyoto Palace inclosure especially for this purpose. This concluding function was a mingling of East and West to illus- trate the harmony in which these two parts of the world can live together. An Occidental menu was served during a musical program, half of old Japan and half of modern Europe, and during intervals ancient classical Japanese dances were performed by court <dancers. Americans Attend. ‘The guest list again included the for- eign diplomatic contingent of about 100 men and women, the American group | being headed by Ambassador and Mrs. MacVeagh. cluded most of those permitted to attend the ceremony of ascending the throne, the climactic observance of Saturday, November 10. After the ancient Japanese music, adopted from old Chinese airs, came the modern music of the West. Two kinds of ancient musie, respectively known as “Banjairaku” and “Taiheiraku,” were played by court musicians in accom- paniment of dances bearing the same names. The instruments were drums, harps and flutes and various other in- struments of Chinese origin. “Banzai- raku” and “Taiheiraku” are dances per- formed only at the court ceremonies on_happy and important occasions. Beautiful autumn flowers, luxuriously used for decorations, among them an abundance or gorgeous chrysanthemums of variegated hues and tints, added to the beauty of the hall. DROUGHT KILLS CROPS.
