Notes.

During last evening, the 9th inst,
occurred the regular monthly literary
and social of the Makawao Foreign
Church, at the residence Of Mr.. and
Mrs. d. d. Baldwin, Haiku. The
melting softness of the moon, the
balminess of the air, induced a large
attendance of questioning even
from the far Spreckelsville and Ka-
hului. However, there could be no
regrets attached to the outing, for
the occasion is to be remembered not
only for the unusual beauty of its
moonlight and serenity of atmos-
phere, but also for the unique and
most excellent programme, entitled
An Evening in the Sunny South"
A schedule of events is as follows

The " ensemble" of the evenings

and, if comparisons were not odious
it might be said that it was the most
interesting literary event of the
season.
After refreshments and merry ex

feature of the night of the 9th o.
June.
A HAIKU PARTY.

inst, occurred a very pleasant as
sembly of young people at the resi-

vincial gaiety of Makawao hugely
After refreshments, the gathering
broke up at somewhat an early hour
owing to conspiracy on the part Of
the clock.
