The Queens Hospital.

Toe biennial meeting N Saturday last OF the
Queens Hospital Society, was rather slimly at
tended. there being II fact no one present bat the
Trustees. This fact, however, should not be
construed az proving a lack Of interest by the
public in this noble institution, but K rather the
result of a feeling very generally entertained, that
it Is - firmly established and 50 successful in Its
work of usefulness, that Do further solicitude in
it, regard need be entertained.
The following Trustees were elected for the
ensuing biennial term Messrs. e. o. Hall. s y.
Castle, ". L. Green, JAS. l. Dowsett, and ". c.
Parke. Five others are 70 be appointed by His
Majesty in place of those gentlemen whose terms
are about 70 expire
The following are the reports of the Secretary.

C0rp0rators and Subscribers
During the two preceding years. from June

euccessful operation, &c the Report Of the Ply

The Hospital building l. sufficiently furnished
and in It's entire arrangement fully meets the

the scrupuIous nea;Bess with which il Is now
kept. and which. as a most essential requirement,
has had the particular care of the Trustees.
The surrounding grounds have become a shady
garden, and every year increases IN beauty and
usefulness.
The lot mauka Of the Hospital building has
been lately fenced in. and planted with such trees
as ara adapted 10 the soil. giving promise Of a
lasting Improvement
Thus the condition OF the Queens Hospital
may very properly be called satisfactory. and due
credit should be given 10 the Physician, DR..
HiIiebrand. and the PurveyOr. Mr.. DeSha. who
both have. in their respective positions. conscieu-
tiously worked TO carry out the benevolent pur-
poses entertained by His late Majesty aud his
Queen, in the establishment Of the Queens Hos
pital. Doubtless, the sphere OF this institution
ia doing good might be extended. and It's indu-
ence ia improving the sanitary condition of the
Hawaiian people Je greatly enlarged. if the Ha-
waiians would but avail themselves more freely
OF the benefits offered them. and not. on the con-
Z trary, rather entertain a feeiing Of distrust. If not
aversion. to the Hospital. No opportunity should
be lost in bringing this institution before the
natives in the right light. and in speaking TO
them of the general good which it purposes,
giving particular information IN regard to the
management of the institution. the medical
treatment and the care devoted TO every one OF
its sick inmates. This should be the duty of the
Hawaiian newspapers. and their cooperation
~ fostering The beneficial WORKING OF the queen 8
Hospital would thus become fruitful Of good.
In closing my Biennial Report as Secretary to
the Queens Hospital Association, l regret to
state that DIR. VIM. Hiliearand. who. since the
incorporation of the Hospital. has held the posi-.
ton Of Physician. Is about TO leave for Europe,
intending to stay there several years. He has
addressed his resignation To the Board of Trus-
tees of the Hospital. who have not as vet had a
meeting 20 act upon it. DIR. HillebraBd skill as
a physician. the satisfaction be has given IN his
responsible position, the interest he has taken in
the welfare of the Hospital. and particularly the
devotion and conscientious care be bad for the
Hawaiians, whenever they needed his services
deserve the sincere appreciation of all and the
Doctors faithfulDess 10 his trust, the approving
voice of the Queens Hospital Society.
May the future mole aud more develop the
beautifully influence Of the Queens Hospital
particularly among the Hawaiian people. and
thus achieve those good results which We're am.
t~icipated by the august Founders of that institu.
ton.
Respectfully submitted.
