Home Again welcome to Bishop willis

The members Of the congregation of the Angli-
can Cathedral of this city and also a large con-
course Of friends including His Majesty, Queen
Dowager Emma, members of the Royal Family
and Others assembled together at the residence of
TheO. II. Davies, Esq. Nuuanu Avenue on the
afternoon of the 9TH inst, to tender expressions
of aloha and welcome to His Lordship the Bishop
| of Honolulu who had arrived home from an ex-
tended mission in America and England. Mr.. and
Mrs. Davies received the company which had col
lected, and introduced the strangers present, to
His Lordship. The entire grounds connected with
Mr.. Davies residence was then utilized by the
company, who gathered together in couples and
quartettes, sat or walked, engaged in social con-
verse, Watching the maneuyres of the lads of the
Bishops College who were performing feats with
gymnastic apparatus, or listening to the music of
the Hawaiian Band, which, under the leadership
of Mr.. Berger. performed martial and dance
music, selections from Frayling, Bach, Czibulka
and COote. During internission in the band
performance, Mr.. Davies engaging the attention
of those present said that the meeting was in
tended TO be an informal one, and could be so
judged from the fact that he proposed and voted
himself TO the position OF chairman. He had
done this because he was probably the only per-
son who had seen the Bishop play lawn tennis and
since then his mind was in tumble with regard
to lawn tennis and bishops lawn. Mr.. Davies
mentioned that His Lordship had called upon him
and his family in England. He expressed the
pleasure which he satisfied all felt at welcom-
ing back His Ubrdship after his long voyage and
| arduous work. He thought that his Lordship's
labors had aptly fulfilled the saying of Christ
whatsoever will be my disciple let him take up
his cross and follow me- Mr.. Davies then intro
duced Mr.. Macintosh who read the following
address:
