ARRIVAL. AT MAUI.
! The steamer arrived at Makens, Maui, about
dusk on the evening Of April Z, and the royal
party embarked as rapidly as the boats could
convey them ashore. AsTheir Majes;ies land
ed, they were received with hearty cheers by the
assembled populace, who escorted them with
numerous torches to the residence of Capt JAS
/ Makee, distant about two miles from the land
/ ing. The grounds had been lastly decorated for
the occasion, and brilliantly illuminated with Ian
terms, while at the entrance was transparency
Welcome to King Kalakaua." The grounds
around this princely estate never looked more at
tractive than on the occasion of the Kings visit.
while the abundance and variety of roses and
other flowers in the gardens was remarked by
every one. Roses here grow, not on bushes, but
in royal grandeur, on trees twenty feet high, and
such a profusion OF clusters The hills around
the mansion are now all set out with evergreens,
eucalypti and other choice trees, which have
changed the appearance very much during the
past few years. Their Majesties remained here,
for two and half days, enjoying the comfortable
rest which they much needed after the rapid and
fatguing journey around Hawaii. 1t had been
the plan to include Makawao in the tour, but for
the above reason, it was deemed best to omit it.
So on Friday the party set out for Waikiki d.
rect. At the start there we're about sixty in the
cavalcade, which increased by accessons, till, on
nearing Waikapu, it comprised at least two hun
dred. The road from this point on was decorated
with several arches Of evergreens and flowers,
welcoming the King and Queen to the four waters
of Wakapu, Waikiki, Waehu aud Wal
hee
At Wailuku Their Majesties we're the guests
of the Hon. II. Kuihelani, and during the after
noon received the visits of the populace, who
brought many presents to them. The residents
had made preparations for ball, which was given
in the evening at Good Templars Hall, which, by
the way, is one Of the pleasantest and most COM
Portable public halls in the islands and does credit
to the Good Templars of Maui. On this occasion
it was profusely decorated with male and ever
green wrelths and various flags and Transparent
,ies. Their Majesties honored the company with |
heir presence as did also Governor Dominis and /
his wife. Foreigners were gathered there from
,very part of the island, and the number Of ladies
present surprised every one. 1t gave better
dea of the progress of society on Maui than any
gathering ever before seen there. One thing no.
iced during the Kings stay at this place was
he flower kalilis or brushes, made Of rid and
Hsr tlolOeTs. As novelty and exhibiting the
ingenuity Of the young ladies', these kahllis were
ute feature on the occasion. On Saturday
fternoon, April IL, HIS Majesty received the
isits of the people, who, as at previous similar
eceptiOns, brought many presents to him and
is queen. An address was also presented by
ommittee of natives and foreigners, to which
he King responded.
On Monday morning the royal party left Wal
ku and embarked on the Kilauea for Lahaina,
here they arrived about o'clock Their Maj t
