A HOLIDAY BALL.

AdS6 evening, Lne FOOuy mansion
of Manager Hugh Center of Spreck-
elsVille was the scene of brightness
and festivity, the occasion being a
ball given to his Maui friends. Dur
ing the day, not a green ribbon
sported the breeze in honor of ST.
Patrick, nor an odor of steaming I'll
leaves greeted the birthday air in
memory OF Kamehameha Ill; but
when dark night hurried over the
ramparts of defeated day, fifty
earnest devotees made their pill
grimage to the shrine of Terpsichore
set up on Hawaii's largest planta-
ton. Mir. Center generously r,IfA.
his spacious dwelling at the ....ssossaf
of his guests, to whom there seemed
to be parlors to the right, parlors to
the left, and parlors behind them,
but no one Numbered. It was the
wonder of the ladies that their genial
bachelor host did not at times lose
himself, or at times sigh for fair
companion to brighten the loneliness
of it all
1t was quite late before the dane
ing began owing to the non appear
ance Of the stringed band,-in fact
they failed to appear at all, but Mr.
Biven kindly threw himself into the
breach" and earned the smiles of the
ladies and thanks of their escorts for
the mastery manner III which he
handled the piano. The dances ran
their usual gamut and the long, mys-
FERROUS verandas furnished ample
opportunity for the promenade and
Irritation. After bountiful spread
at the long table in the dining hall,
the pleasurable evening terminated
in the Virginia reel. 1t was only
few minutes after the midnight hour
but there is no reason why the
night of the 17th should not be
chronicled in Maui's social history
as most delightful episode.
Among the guests present were:
Mesdames Albrecht, Forster, Makee,
and Austin, Misses Richie, Cum

MATRIMONIAL EVENTS.
It is reported that DR.. Laidlaw, of
Spreckelsville, will leave for the
Coast on the 10Th inst, and will
marry San Francisco young lady
about the middle of April. A pretty
house is now being built at Spreck
elsville for occupancy by the happy
couple.
On ST. Patrick's Day, at Waikiki,
Kahale's grandson, Elelani, was mar
ried to Miss Keliikoa, of Kona, by
Rev. Nawahine, of Waihee. A grand
luau celebrated the event.
1t is reported that Miss Ellen
Cook, daughter of Joseph Cook,
for many years blacksmith at Paia,
will be led to the altar on Sunday,

ceremony will probably take place
at Kuau and beiperformed by Rev. I.
L. Gulick.
n
Captain Allen Simerson, who has
been recently appointed to the COM
mand of the steamer W. G. Hall,
was educated on Maui at the old Ha-
leakala school. He was born in Ko-
ma, and after leaving school served
on the schooner Prince as super
cargo, where his uncle, Captain Nika,
instructed him most thoroughly In
the art of navigation. On his I'M
cle's resignation on account of old
age, he was placed in command.
When Foster & Company inaugural
ed their line of steamers to kau he
was given a position as purser and
finally placed in command OF the
Malulani. All this is worthy of no.
tice, as he is thought to be the first
Hawaiian who has ever filled the po-
sition of commanding officer on q
steamer.
