The uiIIis.wiseman InterIsIand Tour.

Leaving honolulu on 1QeSOaN, AlaTGn
oath, after making complete arrange
ments with Mr.. Rose, the genial Secre-
tary of the Wilder Steamship line,
Messrs. Mills and Wiseman took pas
sage by the Likeike, which brought
them safely to Kahului, Maui, where
they were cordially greeted by Mr.. Lou
rev, the Superintendent of the Kahului
Railroad. Mr.. G. P. Wilder, his assist
ant, and Mr. Patty, the conductor. The
train was in waiting, and soon after a
start was made for the quiet little town
of Wailuku.
The weather for some time in the dis
trict had been threatening rain, yet Mr..
Mills opened that evening at the skat-
ing rink under a pleasant canopy, and !
had very fair and fashionable audi |
ence. He was rapturously applauded |
throughout his performance, and the To-
cal hits came in with good effect on sew
eral of the townspeople. The next even
ing brought the long-hoped-for rain, and
| it kept back many who otherwise would
have been present. Friday, the third
|
the rink was again as well attended as
on the first night.
On Saturday and Monday nights Mr..
Mills performed to good houses at Paia,
and every one appeared to be highly
pleased who attended the entertain
ments. Mr.. George Williams, the Gen
eral Superintendent at Sprekelsville, as
sisted by MIR. Lourey, were exceedingly
kind in ordering the trains to run to
Paia for the benefit of the entertainment,
and many people from Wailuku, Kahn
lui and Spreckelsville came to Paia by
reason of this considerate and kindly
act.
The combination was in a sad dilemma
at Paia, not being able to procure
piano, when finally Mr. Lowrey rendered
his piano and brought it down on the
train, distance of twelve miles, to en-
able the entertainment to proceed.
Messrs. Mills and Wiseman feel under
the deepest obligations to this gentle
man and say, as all citizens about say,
, that the Kahului railroad has a most
painstaking and honorable Superintend-
ent in the person of Mr.. Lowrey.
, On Sunday last Messrs. Mills and
Wiseman accepted an invitation from
Mr.. Cornwell to pay him and family a
visit They spent a very enjoyable after
noon at his lovely country seat, and were
most Hospitality treated. Mr.. Cornwell
was in an exceedingly happy mood,
although this was hardly to be expected
when it is stated that through the negli-
gence of one of his field hands smoking,
Il about twenty acres of cane were burned
Il last week.
: On Monday Messrs. Mills and Wise
e man breakfasted at Mr.. Gatty Wilder S
I home at Kahului. Mrs. Samuel G
+ Wilder is spending a week or two with
e her son, and the guests certainly had 8
x Syyrfnd breakfast and a delightful time

For several weeks the cane about the
plantations in this district looked very
:. dry, and planters have been praying fol

upon those days heavy fall of rain came

The Clerks Retreat in Wailuku must
, not be forgotten. Ton Sing is the res
taurant caterer, and he certainly would
take the premium for good cooking and
clean linen as compared with any Homo

! should be mentioned Mrs. Yarick s
r lodging house, where comfortable rooms
