ever, dissipated all gloomy vaticina-
tions, rs though the heavens had
bestowed mercy on us poor crea-
lures. Wednesday was beautiful
day, from first to last. The pro-
gramme was:
Boat racing in the morning, Luau
in the Afternoon, Ball in the evening.
The Kinau had arrived the night
before, bringing additional visitors
from Honolulu and way ports.
Early in the morning the band struck
up at the Governess' residence;
then came the boat racing, in which
the Honolulu boat was the winner,
although the crew got a severe
ducking.
The luau was spread in the Court
House large room, with the usual
good things-one of the most ex-
cellent being the absence of all in
toxicating beverages. An interesting
feature of the afternoon was the
Hilo Cadets, under command of
Lieutenant Hipa of the Queens
Own, which was very good indeed.
All went merrily.
In the evening all the beauty and
nobility assembled at the Court
House and had splendid time, the
gentlemen from Hilo adding to the
list of dances. All went joyfully
home, delighted in having helped to
add red-letter day to the llilo
calendar.
For Thursday there were on the
tapis an ice cream festival and pic
ture exhibition, the latter being the
works of the celebrated Tavernier.
The affair was an entire success. Mr..
Tavernier made present of beauti-
full landscape to the ladies'. Mr..
Cornwell auctioned it off well, the
ladies making handsome profit of
S4O0, that goes for benevolence.
With that ended the festival.
Hlo made wry face on Friday,
rain again, but all were making
haste to be off, although the steamer
only left at O'Clock in the after
noon. Farewell, beautiful Hilo,
with verdant-clad slopes on high,
but too mucl rain! The homeward
trip was better than the outward
not so much wind. We reached
Laupahoehoe on time, and Off for
Kawaihae. There was grand
sight. The grass and kula were on
fire, and all thought the Volcano

of the kind, only bush fires. On
Saturday morning we reached Mahu-
kona, where we had to lie for nearly
: twelve hours to take sugar OH
board. All went on shore. The
, natives of Kohala had spread nice
luau for the royal visitor. Every
body had to kill time as well as
| possible, some going mauka on the
, train to take peep at the country,
| others remaining on the beach to
tease old Smithies and yarn with the
railroad men. Anchor was weighed
S at o'clock, genial Hon. Sam
: Parker being given lift to Hawai-
| hae. We took our last dinner OF
S board, and all turned in to avoit
f the dangers of the Alenuihaha
, Reached Maalaea and Lahaina OF
/ time, and home at about O'Clock
a The royal party were received will

e military, together with large con
C course of people. So ended th'
S royal visit to Hilo.
