THE AFTERMATH.
As usual il remains for me to gather up tn,
fragments. One Of the two unfortunate occur
rcnces above mentioned was the accident al
luded to by the previous writer, in which Mr.
Joseph Cowcn, a plumber residing at Mrs
lloys boarding house, on the corner OF Alakef
and King had a small outside bone broker
near his LEFT ankle. Doctor n. Is. Emerson
who was on the grounds, temporarily set tn,
broken bone, and the sufferer was taken to tn,
Queens Hospital where he is now rapidly re
covering. The other matchmaking was d
misunderstanding by which the boys Of tn,
Hawaiian band lost their supper. They had
given their services gratuitously. and theii
playing had been fully appreciated by many
hearers Of their usual Saturday afternoon con
ccrts, and by many who are seldom able to at.
tend those concerts. Mr.. w. X. Castl. had
Their entertainment in charge and planned ia
give them the most royal spread at the com.
mand of the relrcshment committee But Mr..
Castle was, unavoidably, called away; and hi,
parting injunctions to "sce that the boys had
the best supper to be had on the grounds II
were not carried out. Mr.. Berger failed 10
make it understood that the band was Obliged
10 leave at 7 PM, and continued playing until
within few minutes of the starting
hour. The tables in the tents were then
occupied by others and it would
have been impossible to serve the
musicians promptly there. When Mr..
Berger did play the last piece and bring hi,
boys forward, the offer was made to serve them
on the grounds. This offer was misinterpret.
ed and the offer declined upon the plea Of the
aieness of the hour. Mr. Berger has since
been made TO understand exactly how the af.
fair came about, and no hard feeling now ex.
lists. For the nonce, however, the happening
threw damper upon the merriment, that
only the infectious joyousness of the delightful
evening atmosphere was able to dispel The
sum netted for the benefit of the piano was
S57S. Some pleasant folks would have been
present who remained away because OF the
death and funeral of Miss Miriam Barnes.
Many business men were prevented from at
tending IN time for the New England dinner
because Of the late arrival of the Mariposa.
But the result both in dollars and cents and
in rational enjoyment, was a handsome gain
to the Punahou piano fund and TO Honolulu.
The ladies who took part in the multiform
duties of the occasion are as follows: Mes.
DANES p. c. Jones, ]. p. Cooke, ]. Hopper,
ice cream; Mrs. Gilman, Miss Kate Mossman,

THE STORY.

Last Saturday morning l returned from a
lying tnp to Maui, and the first man met on
the wharf was the virtue morality editor.

places, and the usual "news," he said he

tract OFF his hands. He told me what the con.
tract was and jumped at the chance | didn't

hour the green lawn was dotted with visitors;
| in garb, from the tiny dresse of infancy to the
ample folds OF matronhood; in age from eighty
days to eighty years. Certainly Honolulu has
no finer lawn than Woodlawn. Surely that lawn
never was more charmingly congregated The
arrangements for entertainment were, generally
| speaking, good, A severe looking-yet kindly
eyed Cerebrus guarded the outer gate and
adult visitors paid a shilling, two bits, twenty
hive cents, OF quarter according to age and
rank. They paid rather more to get out.

During the past three years, in the colonies,
quiet, refined, cultivated English woman,
Mrs. ilampson, has had unprecedented success
in all the large cities in cvangeislc work. In
Sydney the large Exposition building was
crowded nightly, and towards the close Of her
work there, says u correspondent OF the
English Non-Conformist "As many thou.
sands we've unable 10 gain admittance aud had

Melbourne, when she had the cordial support
OF all denominations. Rev. Mr. Mccartney,
Of the Established Church, Dean of Mel.
bourne, and chairman OF the committee in
charge Of her work, in his paper, The Mission.
AIRY, says that "such sight as was Witnessed
ON last Friday night when $50 converts seated
by themselves in the presence Of thousands in
the Town Hall was something new to the
wickeslesi city in the colonies" Mrs. lIa,np-
son, owing to severe throat trouble and failure
OF her voice, was compelled To suspend work
for time, and took sea voyage To America.
She is now in Honolulu en- route to the
colonies to resume her work there, beginning
first at lallarai, where she is To laaa under
