The Hon. H. P. Baldwin was one
of the passengers for Kahului on the
Claudine on her last trip to Maui.
The honorable gentleman was re-
turning from tour OF inspection of
the Makaweli Plantation on Kauai.
He reports that plantation as doing a
very large amount OF work and that
cane planting is being pushed for
ward With great rapidity. 1t will be
one of the largest Git not already
the most extensively plantations in
the islands.
Quite a number of the Brothers,
teachers at St. Louis College, were
also passengers on the same trip of
the Claudine. They were bound to
Waikiki, where they will be the
guests of Rev. Father Gulstan during
school vacation. In Wailuku the
brothers were met by Messrs. Chas.
H. Rose, William Cuelho and Antoine
Fernandez, former pupils and grad
yates of the College.
Mr.. Henry Smith, clerk of the
Supreme Court, and his family are
spending short vacation in Maka-
wac, where they are guests of Judge
Copp of that district. Mr.. Smith
intends visiting the extinct crater of
Haleakala, where the wild gooseber-
ries are said to be in season now.
On the 9th instant grand luau
was given by Judge and Mrs. Copp
in honor of Mr.. John Crowder,
deputy port surveyor of Honolulu,
who had just attained his ffteth
(jubilee) year. In the evening there
were dancing and singing in which
both old and young INDUCED. Sew
eral of the kamaainas being present,
made the occasion one of the most
social and happy gatherings; it was
sort of reunion of uncles and
aunts and cousins. There were about
20 people from Honolulu at this
gathering. The luau was one of the
best gotten up in Makawao for many
day, and gave evidence that the
judge and his amiable wife know how
to get up luaus and to entertain.
The music and singing at this gather
ing were excellent, conspicuous
amongst which was the fine singing
by Mr.. William Cuelho, of st. Louis
College. His rendering on the
piano and either were enjoyed by
all. Mr.. Geo. Copp assisted in
furnishing music for dancing. A
good time generally was enjoyed by
both kamaainas and the Honoluluans.
The occasion will long be remember
ed by the honoring and the honored.
On the 7th our correspondent Wis.,
tied the Hamakuapoko mill, the
Grove Ranch and Paia Plantation,
returning by way of Haiku. These
three plantations have co nbned as
one concern, and are capable of pro-
ducing an average of over five tons
TO the acre. The cane fields were
looking exceptionally fine, consider
ing the drought suffered in other To-
calities; most of the fields are, how
ever, irrigated on these plantations,
fact which ought to make stock
holders feel good in these days, now
that the tariff has been declared off.
The present crop, both of plant cane
and rattoons, promises good yield
to the concern. There is an ample
supply of water. The Hon. Fl. z.
Baldwin is the general manager of
these plantations.
A visit was also made to the Po-
lice Court of Makawao. On the 9TH
inst. Judge Copp was hearing the
case of the Queen against Young
Chong, who was charged with unlaw-
full possession of opium. The deputy
sheriff, Mr.. Lorrin Andrews, was
conducting the prosecution, and Mr..
John kalama was counsel for the de-
Tense. After the prosecution had
put in its case, the defendant moved
for his discharge on the ground that
'these things (pointing to the opium
container and the pipe) had not been
put in as evidence. The Judge
promptly overruled the motion and
required the defendant to put in his
defense. One of the witnesses for
the defendant, All Nee, testified that
although he was in Wailukn at the
time of defendants arrest and seiz-
ure of the opium. he owned the opium
and the outfit. The evidence showed
that Young Chong was manager of the
house and that All Nee was one of
his employees. In the summing up
of the case MI. Kalama claimed dis
charge fer the defendant, the evidence
showing that the opium was owned
by All Nee and not by the defendant.
The deputy sheriff claiming a con-
viction commended it was not essential
to prove the ownership, but that pos
session was the necessary ingredient
in the case. The Court reserved it's
decision until Tuesday next.
Our correspondent was intending
to visit Wailuku on the Sth, but was
prevented from doing so by a heavy
L.
