lani Lunallo ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS,
daughter of II. r. III. Princess Like
like and Hon. A. S. Cleghorn, was
celebrated on Saturday, 10th inst,
in true Royal Hawaiian style, at the
family residence at Waikiki. The
elements of nature favored the occa-
sion, as the pouring rain that
drenched the city little after mid
day reached Waikiki only in gentle
sprnkling, just sufficient to lay the
dust aud give a rich refreshing cool
ness TO the atmosphere.
1t was source of exquisite pleas
ure to many of the guests who have
passed through the grinding tedium
of the Legislative session to be let
loose at midday, and Immediately
after to fly off to the paradisaical
retreat of royalty at Waikiki and
enjoy the unbounded Inequalities of
Noble Cleghorn's residence. A
hearty welcome awaited all the
guests from Noble Cleghorn and
Princess Likelike. All were directed
to make themselves at home. The
youthful Princess, in one of the
apartments of the fine mansion,
guarded right and left by the ka-
hills, the emblems of her rank, re-
ceived the congratulations and good
wishes of throng of visitors, who
entered and retired in one continu-
Gus stream for. nearly two hours.

his Chamberlain, arrived little
after 2 O'Clock. There were also

Some two hundred guests sat
