attention.
Many of the guests, too staid and sober
perhaps to enjoy the festivities of q ball, re-
tired shortly after the first ~quadrille had
been formed. Others we believe came only
to the reception, from the belief that a high
dress would not comply with the request for
q full evening dress. In point Of fact high
dresses were very much liz the majority in
the room, even amongst the most ardent
dancers. DecOLietse fashions for evening
dress have no longer the absolute sway that
they used to have in the fashionable centres
of the old aud new worlds. The long train
also is no longer de rigueUT, and II. r. II.
Princes Likelike led the fashion the other
night of dancing in Il short dress, and happy
we should think We're those who were SINH
larry prepared for a crowd in which the
train OF Il dress was Enthusiastically a care.
The blessings of all the gentlemen present
were Oh the heads of Her Royal High
ness and of those who followed her lead in
this particular. Dancing was kept up with
vigor throughout the evening. The pro-
gramme included sixteen dances, and it
was between two or three o'clock in the
morning before the last waltz was ended.
His Majesty remained for some time and
danced in the LanceTs, having Miss Pea
dolly as his partner.
A splendid supper was served in the dim
ing room about midnight. In contrast to
the Lu0u of the previous day, here every
thing was provided in European fashion,
but here, as at the Iudu, a lavish hospitality
prevailed. Late in the night, after all had
supped,, some perhaps twice, and scores of
overloaded plates had been sent away with
their contents untouched, the table showed
scarcely a sign that-any one had been there.
Honolulu has a reputation for not being the
! place which Il bon UiUdRt should choose, the
general experience here being that every
thing that is delicate and nice is not only
dear, but often also very difficult to procure
when wanted. Such Il reputation Her
Royal Highness's ball-Supper gave a direct
contradiction to, for the variety and deli
cacy of the dishes was as notable as was the
profusion of supply. Indeed, in every par
ticular, the whole entertainment of the
evening was worthy of the rank and wealth
of the kindly Princess, whose birthday was
thus celebrated.
On the following day Saturday Her
Royal Highness continued to entertain all
corners. The tables We're again spread in
the great tent. and beautifully filled with
all the good things of native Hawaiian fare,
which seemed to be produced from an alb
solutely inexhaustible store. A very large
number took advantage of the Princess
hospitality; and during the afternoon the
whole of the soldiers of the Hawaiian Mill
tary Companies sat down together and Were
feasted, His Majesty himself as Commander
in Chief of his forces, being also present.
Subsequently the troops were drawn up on
the ground III front of and on the mauk
side of the house, the Cavalry occupying the
latter position. They were put through
various exercises, Her Royal Highness
with a select company of guests, looking OIL
from the verandah in ron of the house
the size and elevation of which admirably
adapts it for such a purpose.
Throughout the evening of Saturday anC
2 till a late hour at night, large crowds were
a assembled nn the premises listening to the
meIes and to some occasional singing of {
modern stamp. Thus closed the three day.
