NEW YEARS AT SPRECKELSvILLE
A BRILLIANT AND SUCCESSFUL BALL.

The old year was danced out and
Ammo Domini 80 most successfully
inaugurated by a grand ball, given
by MIR. and Mrs. Hugh Morrison of
Spreckelsvillc, at which was present
the elite, youth, tbeauty and wealth
of the island. Great preparations
had been going on for some time
prior to the great event, and the
highest expectations of the many
guests assembled were fully realz-
ed. Seldom, if ever, in the annals
of society on Maui has q dance been
marked by such signal success, an
event which obscures even the de-
lightful ball given a short time ago
in honor of the knights of Pythias
Pilgrimage. Unbounded credit is
due to the genial hostess and her
able corps of lady and gentlemen
assistants for the beautiful appear
ance of the great entertainment hall
and the perfect and harmonious ar
rangement of the whole affair.
The hall was profusely and ex-
quisitely adorned with fcstoons and
garlands of ferns, flags and draper
les, brilliantly lighted, and present
ed most enchanting scene. a
string band OF members of the
Royal Hawaiian band furnished ex-
cellent music and lured even stately
matrons and portly paterfamiias
into the May whirls OF the Terpsi-
chorean art. Neat, artistic pro-
grammes were distributed to every
one, and in short every minor detail
had been remembered, and enhanc-
ed the enjoyment of the evening.
Dancing continued from 9 O'Clock,
and was maintained with great zest
and animation until half-past eleven
when all the guests filed into the adj
joining spacious dining hall, where
choice refreshments invltingly tempt
ed appetites sharpened by the un-
wanted exercise, and gave new
strength to the tagging energies of
the dancers.
At II O'Clock precisely Mr.. Nor
rison rose and in few well chosen
remarks announced that the New
Year was born, wishing all present
a Happy New Year, upon which
everyone rose and joining hands,
sang "Auld lang syne." Immediately
after the lunch dancing was
resumed and kept up with great
spirit till half-past one, when the
whistle from the Kahului Railroad
train-which Wilder & Co. with
their usul liberality, had placed at
the disposal of guests from Waikiki,
Kahului and Paia-warned them
it was time to break up and the
guests, after bidding goodnight tC
their genial host and hostess, dis.
persed to their several homes, tC
dream happy dreams, and review
the pleasant recollections of the en-
joyable evening.
