selves to tender their congratulations to
her royal child, being assisted by Prin-
cess Liliuokalani and Poomaikalani,
Miss Gardiner, governess TO the little
princess, and Miss Brickwood.
After the reception the large com
pany we're invited to grand luau in
the native style. The feast was spread
on long, low tables in large perma-
nent lanai used as banqueting hall, or
assembly room, as well as library,
well-flled bookcases being ranged along
the wall. About two hundred people
sat down to the tables, on mats in the
Did style, and scores had to wait for
second service along with late arrivals.
1t was sight worthy of art reproduc-
ton, the numerous company of natives,
mingled with people of almost all nation
alities, disposed about the festive
boards. The royal standard adorned
the head of the hall, and the walls
were thickly studded with works of art
and other decorations. An unlimited
abundance Of flesh, fish and vegetables,
cooked by the Incompatible native
method, together with choice wines
and varied dessert, literally heaped the
tables. There was table set with for
eign cookery and utensils at one end Of
the room, but most Of the guests pre-
ferred to go back for the nonce to the
fashion of the Garden of Eden, before
chairs we're contrived or knives and
forks and spoons invented
After the first table had been fairly
taxed of its food and drink, the com
pany was called to order.
His Majesty proposed the health Of
the young Princess Kaiulani and her
mother Princess Likelike. He hoped
the company would join him in the
toast. He was proud to propose and
drink the heath of the little princess,
she being the representative of the
present royal line of descent. He
hoped she would receive liberal edu
cation and training, toht herself for
the high position which she would be
called upon at some future time to
hold. She was the hope of the nation,
and he felt much interest in her vel
fare, and the nation felt with him, as
she being the only offspring of the
family her welfare was matter OF soli-
citude to all. He would also ask the
people to drink to the health of the
mother, II. X. II. Princess Likelike
He was proud of this opportunity of
honoring his sister, she having been
the only fruitful one in the family. He
hoped she would be the mother, not
only of Kaivlani, but of many Others,
as she would be the mother of future
kings
Hon. S. G. Wilder being called upon
to respond on behalf of the young prin-
cess and her mother, delivered brief
but very feeling speech.
Hon. A. s. Cleghorn proposed the
health of His Majesty the King. Also
of the Legislative Assembly, thanking
them for the liberal appropriations
made for his wife and daughter. In
reply to Mr.. Wilder, he said that, sc
much being dependent upon the young
princess, nothing would be left undone
