FESTIVITIES IN HONOR OF THE KING

ES llNlilEo IN ltONOh OF THE KING.
The arrival of His Majesty at
Wailuku early Wednesday morning
created little stir in this otherwise
quiet and staid old town. During
the day he received many callers al
the residence of Hon. Kuihelani,
otherwise the time was quietly
spent. On Thursday morning Ma
jor Cornwell entertained His Ma
jesty and few select friends at
breakfast. The same afternoon
Hon. j. w. Kalua entertained the
King and party at dinner. He was
also breakfasted and lunched at DR..
Geo. Herbert's. In accordance
with 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. III. Cornwell, Major j. D.
Holt, Hon. Sam Parker, Capt. John
Ross, Mr.. and Mrs. DR.. Geo. Her
bert, Mrs. f. p. Hastings, Miss
Rose Makee, Mr.. and Mrs. G. p.
Wilder, Mr., and Mrs. w. Fennel,
Mr.. and Mrs. j. Carney, Mr.. and
Mrs. FL. G. Treadway, Mr.. and
Mrs. j. w. Kalua, Hon. and Mrs.
Geo. Richardson, Hon. and Mrs.
John Richardson, Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Il. Austin, Mr.. and Mrs. j. F.
Noble, Mr.. and Miss Kela Hum
phreys, Miss Gussie Lemon, Mrs
G. b. Makee, Mrs. Geo. Pittock
Miss Ellen Daniels, Miss Nancy Dan
iels, Mr.. and Mrs. Norrie, Mr.. Geo
Potter, Mr.. Eugene Bal, Mr.. Barn
hardt, Mr.. Campbell, Mr.. w. R
Walbridge, MIR. G. III. Tweedie
and about thirty others.
Too much praise cannot be be-
slowed upon the committee fol
their very successful efforts to MAKE
this affair the event of the season
and all present were unanimous ir
pronounclng it the most recherch
affair that has taken place in Wal
luku for long while.
Saturday morning opened darl
and dismal with lowering clouds
over mountain and sea, that wer
ominous of more rain, and so i
proved, for about 8 O'Clock it com
menced to pour again and has con
tinued all day.
AT 3 p. m. luau was given il
honor of the King, and notwith
standing the constant downpour o
rain, and the almost impassabl'
state of the roads, large numbe
assembled there at the appointe
time to do justice to the cuisine @
Hawaiians, (for the feast was a
Hawaii). His Majesty and party
for whom the feast was given, hor
ored the occasion with their pre-
sence, and everything was as merr
as Hawaiians could make it, unit
nearly 5 p. M, when the guests be
gan to dispense.
Thus has ended three days G
gaiety in honor of His Majesty
fifty-second birthday, which wi
long be remembered in Wailuku
Although the weather has been ez
tremely disagreeable during the las
two days, and pedestrianism almos
! an utter impossibility yet the ardo
of the people to properly obsery
the occasion has not been in th
least dampened, and had the weathe
been more propitious, much MOI
would have been done to make til
10th of November, 1888, memorabl
in the annals of Wailuku history.
