MY. Good questions and answers.

"Aloha De-"
No. II. Sunday school from
Haaheo-3l members. The chill
dren's singing was good, and that
of the adults fair. There was some
good English speaking, and fine
display of calisthenics. This school
exhibited considerable variety, but
labored under the disadvantage of
being late in the day, the people
getting tired.
No. 10. Sunday school from
Laupahoehoe-l2 members. Chill
dren only. Good singing and good
speaking. Two little girls sang like
fairies. One little boy showed
splendid oratorical capabilities.
No. 16. Sunday school from
Puueo-32 members. Fair singing
and good speaking. A splendid
school, neatly and hastily dressed.
A little girl was the prompter.
No. IL. Sunday school from
Hakalau-S members. They march,
ed up the aisle singing. Both the
defamation and the music were
creditable. One little girl showed
special smartness.
That was the last of the schools,
and everybody was now on the tip
toe of expectation as to which should
get the prize, splendid silver water
pitcher, which Her Royal Highness
had donated for the best school of
the convention.
The Rev. Mr.. Forbes stood up
and made an appropriate speech, in
which he said that it was very hard,
where there were so many good
schools, and none positively bad, to
select the best. The committee had
had considerable difficulty in decid-
ing, particularly between Kahei and
Kalapana, but had concluded to
award the prize to the latter.
Now came the hurrah. Kalapana
felt proud. The teacher mounted
the platform and thanked the Prin-
cess and the committee, and the
triumphant school gave another
splendid chorus. The audience rose
and sang Hawaii Ponoi, and then
went home feeling happy.
1t was now nearly 6 o'clock,
which means that the exercises had
lasted close upon eight hours, in
one continuous stretch, barring one
short intermission for lunch. The
whole was grand success, from
beginning to end.
In the evening was well-attended
concert for the benefit of the Band
boys. 1t Melted about 500. The
programme was good. OF course,
the Band took best.
Sunday was quiet. Church as
usual. Weather rainy.
On Monday the Band started
early to play fine programme at
the Princess's residence. In the
afternoon Her Royal Highness went
to Cocoanut Island, with company
of ladies and gentlemen, and had u
good time. In the evening the
Band played at the court house, to
the delight of everybody.
Tuesday morning the Band sere-
naded the Princess, and in the after
noon Mr.. G. Arnold gave lunch
party to Her Royal Highness. The
Band was in attendance. The
weather was very close. Invitations
were out for musical and literary
entertainment by the Shakespearian
Society at the residence of Mr..
Severance in the evening. Mr..
Severance and his good lady under
stand just how to make such under
takings success. The large rooms
and wide verandahs make it easy to
accommodate many people. The
Princess and the elite of the city
were present. The Band played q
choice selection for about an hour,
and then the company moved inside.
The music, reading and tableaux
were of high order. Mr.. Fur
neaux and Mrs. Hanford added
materially to the success of the
evening. Mr.. Burt distinguished
himself by reciting fine poem.
Refreshments were served, and then
the young folks took the floor, the
interchangeable Berger at the piano.
1t was past midnight when the last
lancers were called. Everybody
went home delighted, and thanking
the host and hostess for the good
time they had had.
Wednesday morning the Band
again, as usual. Mr.. and Mrs.
Lyman gave lunch at their CON-
modious residence to Her Royal
Highness and suite in the afternoon,
A lovely afternoon, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Lyman made it comfortable
for everybody, including the Band
In the evening came the farewell
combination concert of all the Sun
day Schools and the Royal Hawaii
an Band, free to everybody. The
house was packed. Good singing
and good playing. The Lehus
quartette, in which Miss Emily
Porter, young Hilo lady, sang
beautifully, was very fine. Miss
Annie Rose, daughter Of Mr.. III
