and suite. accompanied by the Hon. J. N.
Kapena and lady, at Maliko, could be seen on
the bold cliffs overlooking Msliko Bay, and for
many miles along the northeast coast of East
Maui. many persons anxiously looking seaward
in the direction of Hoolawa and Keauae TO get a
glimpse of the boats containing the eagerly
looked-for royal party and for nearly an hour
before the faintest outline of the boats could be
distinguished by anyone else, even by the aid of
the telescope, they were deserted by many of the
Hawaiians. When, however. the words d" Ella,

in the valley ~below-then broke forth exclama-
tons of JOY and as the first boat flying the
Royal Standard, on board of which was Her
Royal Highness the Princess Regent, closely
followed by the second boat. on board of which
was the Princess Miriams Likelike, with the re-
mainder of the suite. could be plainly seen
making direct for the harbor, a genuine Hawaiian
expression of " Aloha :" and devotion among
the people-both native and foreign-for Her
Highness was heard on every side. Not a few,
however, felt surprised at the hardihood that
could have induced the royal party to make the
trip in such frail craft on the open sea.
LANDING AT MALIKo.
The Princess Regent and party landed at
Maliko about r. 30 pm. on Saturday. As the
boats neared the landing, several Of the affec-
tionate and loyal native people rushed into the
sea and would have carried the boats ashore,
but other arrangements having been previously
made to facilitate the decentralization prevented
their doing so. On landing, Her Royal High
ness was heartily cheered and most enthusiasts
tically received by a large assemblage of the
people, both native and foreign. Now it was
a genuine greeting commenced, in which the
people gave expression to their love and affection
for the Princess in q most unmistakable
manner-in ancient Hawaiian meles-by kissing
her hands and feet, and other forms of saluta-
ton expressive of deep emotion, love, and
respect. What a contrast in the hearty ovation
to this Princess as compared Will the position
of some of the most powerful Princes and rulers
of other lands-where it appears to be the prin-
cipal object of their people to destroy them.
After this preliminary greeting, the Princess,
suite, and escort proceeded in carriages and on
horseback to the house of Mr.. Mahoe, where
Her Royal Highness and a large number of in
vited guests sat down to a most bountiful repast.
The company was truly cosmopolitan and repre-
sentative. After spending some time here, and
receiving the greetings of the people, the royal
party left in carriages for Mr.. David Growing
burg's, by whom the Princess and party were
invited, and where they spent Saturday night
and the following sunday. during sunday, ana
up to late on Sunday night and Monday morn
ing, many visitors were announced, and received
by the Princess a number of foreign ladies
also called. Messages were sent by many foreign
residents to Her Royal Highness, placing their
carriages at her disposal. On Sunday afternoon
the Princess Regent and party attended Divine
service at the Native Church at Makawao, in
which both the Princesses took part in the
singing and, in accordance with notice given
on the previous Saturday to the people to meet
the Princess Regent, there assembled a crowd
such as has not been seen in that church on
Sunday for many years.
SPEECH OF THE PRINCESS REGENT AT THE NATIVE
CHURCH AT MAKAwAO
After the service Her Royal Highness de-
livered an extempore address, which was listened
to with the most profound respect and attention
by all present. The pupils of East Maui Semi
nary were present in full force. The royal lady
feelingly stated the object of her visit to the
different parts of the kingdom, and the object of
His Majesty's tour around the world, and the
good results to be expected therefrOm and
alluded to the serious responsibility which de-
volved upon her as Princess Regent of conduct
ing the government on His Majesty's departure,
and the many unpleasant and disagreeable incl
dents attendant on such a position, and said that
the life of a Princess has its own trials and per-
~plexities and also alluded to her great desire to
meet and see the people whom she had been so
long prevented from meeting. owing to the pre-
valence of the epidemic, but that now we had
good reason for congratulation on the result of |
the long restriction placed upon inter-island
communication and traffic. The Princess feel
ingly alluded to the fearful mortality occurring
among the people at the present time, and the
necessity of more attention being paid to the
nurture, care, and fostering of children, and
expressed her pain and deep sorrow at such a sad
state of affairs and Her Royal Highness also
desired to impress upon the minds of her hearers
the great need of q knowledge of the laws of
health and the care of ourselves and children,
in order to preserve the life of the nation. The
Hon. Helekunihi replied on the part of the /
people.

principal miss Carpenter) and her assistants
with the respect and attention due to her rank,
which the royal party were introduced to
the schoOl-room, where the pupils were assembled
awaiting the royal visitor, when the pupils were /
exercised in reading and singing, in English, and
calisthenic exercises. In their exercises, the
scholars showed a good capacity for thinking and
reasoning, and their ability to illustrate their
ideas BY appropriate gestures. The musical part
of the exercises was vocal, and enjoyed in a very
high degree by the royal party,-and on the
whole, Her Royal Highness commended the dill
ligence of the pupils, and the thOroughness and
efficiency of the instructors, and called the atten-

under such able instructors, and alluded to the
bright hopes which she earnestly entertained
on their coming forth from such a school. After |
bidding n kindly aloha to the worthy principal, |
assistants, and the pupils, in whom she mani
tested such a tender regard, the royal lady |
proceeded to Paea TO visit the new English
school recently established there by the Board
of Education. The Princess expressed herself
highly pleased with the school. From this point
the party proceeded to the
RAILROAD DEPOT,
where n large crowd had assembled to greet the
distinguished visitors. The railroad cars were
evidently prepared and tastefully festooned for
the occasion. There was also a large number of
young ladies from Wailuku at the depot neatly
and uniformly dressed, awaiting to make their
DECOR TO the Princess, and to ~omp the
royal party to Wailuku. Near the depot a sump-
tuous feast had been prepared by the Hon. c.. K.
kapule, to which the Princess and party were
invited, but which, on account of the lateness of
the hour, had to be declined and here it
