cooked in the ground in the native style, with taro-

I'd 10 say, was. that there was = feast given on
Tuesday last by the Kawaiahuo Church, 10 raise
funds for the same. Il took place near the corner
Of Richard and Queen streets. and such an array
of Hawaiian beauty ~ appeared on the occasion.
No wonder 50 many Young men like 10 90 TO haaS.
There must have been fifty OF sixty foreign ladies
present, nearly - many foreign gentlemen. and
several hundred Hawaiian ladies and gentlemen.
And We must confess that Hawaiian ladies, pref
lily dressed in white musIins. with their intensely
black flowing hair and graceful movements, are
close rivals to their foreign sisters. We went there

orer the Rirer,' all in Hawaiian of course. Every
one appeared delighted. and the two hours spent
there We're not time lost. Since the church has
been under Rev. Mr.. Parker's charge, more interest
has been taken in religious matters by the natives
attending there. especially by the young half
growing and influential body who are
destined to be the ruling class ere many years.
The church now numbers about 1900 members.
The sum raised n the feast was over $500.
