On Tuesday evening last, at the
prayer meeting at Mr.. Baldwin's,
Haiku, the Rev w. s. Westervelt
was presented with beautiful gold
watch and chain, Mr.. Foster on
behalf of the young men of Maui,
made the presentation speech, which
was feelingly responded to by the
recipient. The watch is Wal
than, and on the inside case is en-
graved the name of the rev. gentle
mau in quarter circle ON top, and
underneath, "from the young men
of Maui as token of respect and
regard" This watch and chain,
although beautiful, but very feehly
expresses the very high respect and
esteem in which the rev. gentleman
is held not only by the young men,
but all classes here.
The most brilliant social event for
many day was the party given by
Mr.. and Mrs. James Cowan of
Hamakuapoko, on Wednesday night
last, on the occasion of occupying
their new house. About one hundred
people from all parts of Maui assem-
bled to pay their respect to the
genial host and hostess, and cougla.
tulate them upon this happy event.
The house was thrown open to the
guests and the untiring efforts of
the host and hostess to entertain
their many friend was most success
full.
Dancing was INDUCED in until the
summons came for refreshments.
After a sumptuous lunch, consisting
OF salads, cold meats, sandwiches,
ice cream, coffee and cake, dancing
was again resumed and kept up with
yigor until the "wee sma' hours"
when the guests departed wishing
their entertainers a long and happy
life in their new home.
On Friday night the Ladies' Aid
Society of Makawao held their regu-
lar monthly social at the residence
| of Mr.. and Mrs. James Cowan, Ha-
makuapoko.
The large and spacious dining
room and parlor were thrown into
one, and comfortably filled with a
merry and social gathering.
The programme, as prepared by
the committee, consisted of nine
numbers, and was opened by an adj
dress from the Rev. w. d. Wester-
welt. He referred to the new home
of the hosts in very pleasing way,
and advised the young unmarried
people to marry and establish such
home as this for themselves. He
also wished it to be q royal home
and a power to bring young people
together that they might feel the in
i1uence of a truly homely home. He
contrasted this beautiful home with
one he once saw in Central New
York while travelling in that state,
where poverty and squalor reigned
supreme, and the poor mother with
her child were the sole occupants at
the time, the father being off in
some grogging, and hoped that such
a scene would never be witnessed
here. He concluded by wishing the
occupants a long, prosperous, and
happy life in their new home.
The next number was duet on
the piano by Miss Goodale and Mrs.
Under, which was very happily rem
dered and elected hearty applause,
but the ladies were deaf TO an en-
core, and the third number was call
ed, reading by Mr.. F. w. Hardy
of Makawao. AS usual this gentle
mans selection was excellent and
"The Waiter Grip was received
with loud applause. The next mum.
Der was Either solo by Prof
Schmidt. "The Poet and Peasant -
This gentleman has appeared ir
public so often that the sight of his
name on the programme always meets
with most hearty approval. HI

was most heartily applauded and tt
a persistent encore responded by
playing a medly. The next numbe
was recitation by Miss Nicholsel
which was very phatetic and beauti
full and the elocution almost fault
less. This was the first appearance
Of this young lady in public here
but we hope to hear from her again
The next was a reading by MIR. j
w. Colville, Depicting the trial
and tribulations of a Scottish maidel
in her vain attempt to capture
volunteer soldier for husband. l
was read in the Scotch dialect an,
! was very amusing.
At this point the master of cere
monies announced that the mex
number could not be given by tn
party to whom it was assigned, bu
. Prof. Schmidt had kindly volunteer
ed to play another Either solo il
place of it, which he did, and wa
obliged to respond to yociferou
encore. The next number was
duet for violin and piano by Mr.
Gilhus and Mrs. Palmer, which wa
beautifully rendered and brough
forth loud and continued applause
but the performers thought the,
had given enough for the money
and could not be persuaded to pla
, again. After this number refresh
ments were served and the pro
gramme closed with violin, zithe
