Auction Basket Party at the Res
idence of Hon. J. Il. Ather-

Auction Basket Party at the Res
idence of Hon. J. b. Ather-
ton.
Last night an Auction Basket
Party took place as announced in
these columns last week at the
residence of the Hon. j. B. Ather-
ton, Miss May Atherton being the
hostess of the evening. Over
hundred ladies and gentlemen
were present. Each lady fur
nishes basket containing
a lunch for two in which
her card is placed, and
invites a gentleman to accompany
her to the "ball." The baskets are
sold at auction to the highest bid
der, gentlemen only being allowed
to bid, and each purchaser sups
with the lady whose name he finds
in his basket. This interesting in
novation was introduced to Homo
lulu by the Y w. G. T. U. last
night, and the general enthusiasm
declared il to be a most charm
ing one After a half hour
spent in conversation and much
stealthy and impertinent examin-
alton of baskets by prospective pur-
chasers, the fun began The bas-
kets were of all kinds, shapes and
sizes--some big and light, some
small and compact; some dainty,
neat and enticingly decorated with
knots of ribbon and sprays of
maidenhair, others, like the lucky
casket in the Merchant of Venice,
of defiant ugliness. Most buyers
were, like the rejected suitors in
the play, foolishly tempted by fair
outside, only that here it was
merely question of good or bet
ter, and there surely were no dis
appointed ones. There was a
plentiful flow of jest during the
sale, and the merriment ran high,
everyone entering into the spirit of
the occasion. Gentlemen were for
hidden to look into their baskets
until the goods were all sold, but
most of them faithlessly and clan
destinely peeped, to find the name
of the lady to whose companion
ship the destines holding sway over
the brief hour had assigned them.
Tables were set in the parlors
and on the broad lanai, and these
were soon filled, with an overflow
on to the stairs and front steps.
There was no lack of appetite nor
of good things to still it, nor too of
the flow of soul which constitutes
the life of all these pleasant hours.
The company was scattered by
ten o'clock, voting the occasion
which had brought them together
a big success, thanking Miss
Atherton and her coadiutors for
their delightful reception, blessing
the Y. w. C. T. U. for it's bright
ideas, and hoping that there
would still be "more to follow"

AT THE CHINESE CHURCH.
Mr.. and Mrs. F. W. Damon Vel
coined Home by Their Flock
and Their Many Friends.

A very representative gathering
assembled in the basement of the
Chinese Church last night to do
honor to Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Da-
mon, whose return after a pro-
longed absence in the United
States is hailed with so much JOY
by Chinese and foreigners. The
rooms were very gracefully deco
rated, the columns entwined with
evergreens, while huge bouquets OF
flowers were planted at the end of
the Hall and on the walls scrolls
in Chinese expressing the satisfac-
ton the Church feels in having
Mr.. and Mrs. Damon once more
amongst them. The little pathway
leading to the church was bril-
liantly illuminated with Chinese
lanterns. The day schools were
represented by about ninety day
scholars, who sang beautiful
songs of welcome, which were
followed by reading of the
Scriptures and prayer, after which
addresses were made by Mr.. Lii
chong, Mr.. Shaw Tau and Mr..
Hoe Poi in Chinese. Rev. o. P.
Emerson, who has had the over
sight of the Chinese work during
the absence of Mr.. and Mrs.Damon

English, to which Mr.. Damon feel.
ingly responded, both in Chinese
and English. His remarks were
followed by very pretty song by
the school, entitled eve are happy
to greet you" The last event o
the evening was the serving of ice
cream, cakes and coffee, aftel
which, and after much pleasan
social converse, the company dis
persed.

BURIAL OF JUDGE MeCULLY.

Before halfpast two yesterday
afternoon Central Union Church
was filled with sympathetic audi
ence. On the street the Hawaiian
Band, the Household Guard, a de-
tachment from the police and a
fine company of marines were
drawn up in line. Within, the
house was fragrant and beautiful
with the profuse floral tributes.
There were too many for individual
mention, but amid countless flow
ers were columns, crosses, wreaths,
crowns, pillows and other forms,
all indicative of a touching SYM
pathy and friendship.
In the audience were His Excel
lency Governor Cleghorn, Her Ma
jesty's Chamberlain, Mr.. Robert
son, members of the Royal Staff,
members of the Cabinet, Justices
Bickerton and Dole, members of
the Diplomatic an dConsular Corps,
Captain Sampson and officers of
the San Francisco, a very full
representation of the Honolulu bar,
Hon. c. r. Bishop and many other
prominent citizens, besides large
general concourse.
Promptly at 2 80 o'clock, accom-
panied with tender strains of music
from the band without and the
organ within, where Miss Dale pre-
sided, the casket was brought into
the church by eight officers from
the police force. 1t was preceded
by Drs. Beckwith and Hyde, the
former reading from Scripture as
the procession came up the aisle,
Il am the resurrection and the
life" Following the remains,
Chief Justice Judd escorted the
widow. They were followed by
other members of the late judges
family and close personal friends.
Opening the service, the church
choir, in the most touching man
ner, sang "Thy will be done"
Dr. Beckwith read selections from
the Bible. DR.. Hyde gave brief
sketch of Judge McCully's charac-
ter and attainments, dwelling upon
his love of justice, incorruptible
honesty and social traits. 1t was
the touch of friendly hand, but
those acquainted with the Judge re-
cognized its truthful outlines. After
prayer by DR.. BeckWith, the
beautiful piece "'Tis finished " was
rendered by solo and quartette
from the choir. Mrs Judd was
soloist. At the close many of the
audience in procession passed near
the coffin gazing a last look at the
friendly and well known features
of the Judge.
The remains were taken to the
Nuuanu Cemetery by the escort of
police and military, followed by a
long line of carriages conveying
many friends. The pail bearers
were Hons. II. A. Widemann, w.
o. Smith and w. D. Alexander,
and Messrs. Henry Smith, S. K.
Kane, F. M. Hatch, Jonathan Aus
tin and w. r. Castle. At the
grave the floral decorations made
a picture of peaceful and quiet rest.
The choir sang "Abide With. Me-"
and Judge McCully was left to his
long rest.

FOught and How It Ended.

LONDON, August 20.-The glove fight be-
tween Jim Hall. the Australian pugilist,
and Ted Pritchard, the English champion,
came off last night at Brighton and was
won by Hall. The match was for thous-
and pounds side. The men fought at II
stone six and Hall won in four rounds.
The fight was managed with great Sc
crecy, very few persons knowing when or
where it was TO come off. 1t was generally
thought it would not take place until Mon
day. There we're present only thirty or
forty Of the principal supporters of the
combatants The partisans of both were
sanguine. The weather was fine, the sun
shining brightly as the men appeared in
the ring. Prichard was seconded by Jack
Baldock and Sam Blakelock, while Charlie
Mitchell and Charlie Rowell acted for Hall.
Both men showed up in good condition.
From the moment the first blow was struck
the battle waged fast and turiously. Hall
was much taller than his antagonist and
soon showed quite as clever with his hands
as PrichaTd and with his extra long reach
he had decided advantage. Prichard tried
hard to break through Halls guard, but
every Hme ne attempted IL ne was
promptly met by the Australians left. In
the second round Prtchard seemed far
better. In this round he delivered heavy
blow with his right, which, striking Hall
squarely, sent him to grass Hall lay
helpless some time; when he rallied he
was apparently as fresh as ever and when
the fight was resumed boxed as fast as his
opponent until the end of the round. The
third round was much in favor of Hall
who seemed to demoralize Pritchard with
his heavy blows in the face. In the
fourth round, Hall followed up his ad-
vantage and landed two severe blows on
Pritchard. one in the chin and one on the
side of the head which sent Pritchard to
the ground. When time was called
Pritchard was unable to respond and Hall
was declared winner
