Geo. Herberts. In accordance
with a well established precedent,
it commenced raining about mid
night Of the 18th and continued with
little intermission, until about sun
down of the 10th, necessitating the
withdrawal of some of the principal
races, and consequently disappoint-
ing large number of people who
had come from all parts of the is
land to participate in the sports.
During all day the weather was
most unpropitious and gloomy fore
bodings were indulged in, that the
reception and ball announced TO
take place in the evening would
also have to be deferred or post
poned indefinitely; but lull in the
storm towards night gladdened
the hearts of the committee, to
whom was entrusted the arrange
ment of this particular part of the
festivities, and they felt that their
endeavors to make it success were
not in vain, and so it proved. About
8 p. m. the invited guests began to
assemble, and about $3.50 p. m.
His Majesty and party entered the
hall. AS soon as he was seated,
and the other arrangements were
completed he, assisted by Mrs. t.
w. Everett, received the guests,
after which dancing was indulged
in until early morning. Among
those present were the following:-
His Majesty, Prince Kawanana-
koa, Mr.. and Mrs. L. w. Everett,
Major w. II. Cornwell, Major j. d.
Holt, Hon. Sam Parker, Capt. John
Ross, MIR. and Mrs. DIR. Geo. Her
bert, Mrs. f. p. Hastings, Miss
Rose Makee, Mr.. and Mrs. G.. p.

Mr.. and Mrs. j. Carney, Mr.. and
Mrs. II. G. Treadway, Mr.. and

others.
Zoo much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon the committee for
their very successful efforts to make
this affair the event of the season,
and all present were unanimous in
pronounclng it the most rccAcrche
affair that has taken place in Wal
luku for a long while.
Saturday morning opened dark
and dismal with lowering clouds
over mountain and sea, that were
ominous of more rain, and so it
proved, for about 8 O'Clock it com
menced to pour again and has con-
tinued all day.
AT 3p. m. a luau was given in
honor of the King, and notwith
standing the constant 6ownpour of
rain, and the almost impossible
state of the roads, large number
ass embed there at the appointed
time TO do justice to the cuisine OF
Hawaiians, (for the feast was la
Hawaii). His Majesty and party,
for whom the feast was given, hon
ored the occasion with their pre-
sence, and everything was as merry
as Hawaiians could make it, unit
nearly p. M, when the guests be.
gan to disperse.
Thus has ended three days Of
gaiety in honor of His Majesty:
fifty-second birthday, which viii
long be remembered in Wailuku
although the weather has been ex
tremely disagreeable during the las
two days, and pedestrianism almos
an utter impossibility yet the ardol
of the people to properly observe
the occasion has not been in thu
least dampened, and had the weathe
been more propitious, much mor'
would have been done to make tin
10th of November, 1883, memorable
in the annals of Wailuku history.
