On Saturday evening Mr.. Paul
Il. Isenberg gave luau at his resi-
dence, Waialae, in honor of the
Stars and Honolulus of the Hawaii
Baseball League. The house is
very pleasantly situated within q
stones throw of the seashore, A
large lanai had been erected on one
side of the house and was most
beautifully decorated inside with
evergreens, flags and flowers. AT
the upper end was hung framed
photo of the champion Stars. Two
tables running the entire length of
the lanai were loaded down with
good things. There was everything
one could imagine TO constitute
truly Hawaiian feast. The tables
looked very pretty, decorated as they
were with ferns. Mrs. Mary Ailau
had charge of the getting up of the
feast and it was exceedingly credit
able to her.
The Hawaiian band under direc-
ton of bandmaster Berger was sta
toned in front of the house and dis
coursed excellent music during the
repast, also before and after. The
invited guests began to arrive soon
after four o'clock. The Henelulu's
team were driven TO Waialae in
wagonette, while the Stars occupied
one drawn by four horses, the We
hicle being decorated profusely with
flowers and evergreens, stars pre-
dominating. Each member wore q
brown plug hat with a lei around it.
Mr.. E. r. Miles, of the Hawaiian
Hotel Stables, furnished the four
finland out and back for the Stars
gratuitously.
AS the guests arrived they
were welcomed by Mr.. Isen-
berg who made everyone feel
quite at home. Those present
were His Majesty the King, attended
by Mr.. j. w. Robertson, Acting

Hon. w. f. Allen at that of the
other. After ample justice had beer
done the many good things, Mr.
Isenberg rose and proposed the
health of His Majesty the King, tht
band playing Hawaii Ponoi.
His Majesty, after thanking thu
company for their kind expressions
related an instance of how they uset
to play ball when he was boy
stating that if any dispute aros'
it was generally settled by the Cap
tains of the teams. Sometimes ther'
was a regular sst-to. He hope'
baseball would always continue t.
incite friendly challenge as long q
the League continued. He did no
think if a team came from the States
that they would be able to score
victory. His Majesty, before sittin!
down, proposed the health of sou
host" who had provided such
bountiful feast which everyone pre-
sent appreciated.
The toast was enthusiastically re
ceived, the whole company risini
and singing, "For he's a jolly goo
fellow"
The next toast was the Presiden
of the Hawaii Baseball League, Hon
w. f. Allen Ga voice-"The fathe
of baseball').
Mr.. Allen, who was received witt
applause, said he was not so old a
TO be the father of baseball. III
could say that great interest wa
taken in the game on the islands
and particularly among the ladie;
He was very anxious to keep til
game up, and also the good feeling
He hoped that next year they woul
have many good games. He prt
posed the health of the EMPIRES.
Calls for Mr.. Geo. +. Boardma
brought that gentleman to his fee
He said that the umpire was tn
worst abused man in the community
