MAUI klIES.
Scorer--J. W. Winter.

The regular monthly literary OF |
the Makawao Ladies' Aid Society |
WAS held at the residence of Mrs. II.
Morrison at Spreckelsvi!le last Fri |
day, 30th May, and proved, as
usual, a genuine success. A large
and fashionable gathering of Maui
society graced The occasion with
their presence, aud repeatedly ex-
pressed their appreciation Of the
performance rendered by the differ
cnt participants in the entertain
ment. The large, spacious and i'm
posing looking house was brilliantly
lighted and decorated on the veran
dab with Chinese lanterns, while the
adjoining magnificent garden aud
grounds were like bit of fairyland
flooded by thes1nost lovely MOON
light.
The programme Was varied and
excellent, and well carried out.
The first feature Of the programme
WAS magic lantern exhibition,
"Scenes FROM Ireland" splendidly
manipulated by NJ. +. L. Sto!z,
who deserves special thanks for the
great pains he had taken to make it
success. After an intermlssion,
during which coffee and refresh
ments were served among the guests,
the second part Of tue programme
opened with an instrumental (piano)
solo by Mr.. l.. Biven, rendered in
his usual brilliant and happy style.
Next came al essay, 1.-The Women
of SPAIN" by Mrs. L. l.. Gulick,
whose long residence in that land OF
, troubadours and romance has made
her thoroughly familiar with their
traits and CUSTOMS. Then followed
song, "T'rue Till Death" splen-
didly sung by DIR. Geo. Herbert,
after which came the "piece de re-
sistance" OF the evening, either
solo by Prof. Adolph Schmidt, who
was here last year with the Swiss
Warblers and now has made his
residence OH Maui. His exquisite
handling Of the sweet and difficult
instrument elected general applause
and admiration, and he had to re-
spond to all encore. The next
was trio, "rhree Little Maids from
School," charmingly and skilfully
rendered by Misses Simpson and
C-ittenden and Mrs. Hall, who look
ed bewltching in their tasteful and
correct japanese costumes. MIR.
and Mrs. II. Il. Austin sang pretty
duet, "Good Night" and the pro-
gramme finished up with bur
Icsque, "Three Naughty Boys from
School," very humorously rendered
by Messrs. Z. ii. Dickey, Ium
waldt and ID. Lindsay, thus termin
atlng a most enjoyable affair.
The new organ for the foreig'
church at Paia arrived on the las
Likeiike and will probably be pu
in place immediately.
Mr.. Westervelt, who is occupying
the pulpit of Makawao Church dur
ing the temporary absence OF The
pastor Mr.. Gulick) on Sunday May
} 25th, reviewed the great and sub
stantial progress made in Americ'
since the civil war; particularly re
ferring to its religious and numeri
cal advancement. This theme wa
suggested by the fact that through
, out the United States the day woult
be devoted to memorial services TO
! those who gave up their lives in tha
great struggle that resulted in th'
preservation of the autonomy Of th
nation. The subject was most abb.
! discussed and was listened to will
, marked attention.
The weather for the past weel
has been extremely hot, and NOR
rain is anxiously looked for.
l At Sprcckelsville they have finish
: ed taking off this years crop of su
D gar. At Paia and Hamakuapoli
they are still grinding, aud will b
= for some time to come.
