RlLO HAPPENINGS.
How the Fonrth of July was Spe 1
The College GIceists.

Thanks to the dear ladies the
Fourth of July was celebrated at
Hilo. Mr.. A. B. Loebenstein de-
livered an grafton which did him
much credit, and pleased the audi
ence which filed the Court House
Hall. Prof. Keep of Mills College,
Cal, read the Declaration of Inde-
pendence. 1t is said that the De-
claration was never read better in
Hilo. Our American Consul, Mr..
c. Furneaux, presided. Prayer was
offered by Rev. L. z. Baker, the
singing was led by Mrs. II. G. Aus
tin. The following favorite Ameri-
can airs were sung: Star Spangled
Banner, Marching Through Georgia,
Rally Round the Flag, My Country
It's of Thee. The Hilo band Gin
strumental) played for short time,
showing marked improvement and
we feel proud of them.
After the exercises there was q
splendid lunch provided which was
greatly appreciated, and well patron
lied, netting $40. Everything tast-
ed so home-like, particularly Mrs. E.
G. Hitchcock's baked beans. To
Mrs. Lord, Mrs. Loebenstein, Mrs.
j. r. Wilson, Miss Mary Hitchcock
we owe many thanks for the lunch.
There was jackass race after
lunch, which caused great laughter
There were eight jacks with riders
but no prize. Also boat race, prize
S25, won by boat boys of steamer
Hawaii. The ladies had nothing to
do with the races.
The proceeds of the lunch are to
be laid aside, with other money on
hand, toward town hall, which we
hope to have in time.
On evening Of the Fourth there
was a ball which was well attended.
The hall was finely decorated. SO the
day passed off very delig htfully, the
weather being propitious.

The program was composed of
twelve selections, all good. The
concert was given at Court House
hall and was exceedingly well attend
ed, and immensely enjoyed. We
certainly feel greatly indebted to the
club for visiting Hilo, and hope each
year we shall have as good treat
from the club.
We are glad to welcome from col
lege Ernest Lyman and H. G. Ha-
pal, who have such fine voices. All
the young gentlemen sang we'll. The
glees sung were finely rendered and
were all encored. Each soloist was
also enchored and received bou-
quet.
The lady soloist, Miss Louise F.
Dale, is truly an artist, and her sing
ing gave everyone who can appre-
ciate a good voice superb treat.
She sings as though it gave her spe-
cial pleasure to sing, same as it does
the sweet singing birds. She looks
like music personilied, and knows
how to open her musical mouth in
order to let the sweet strains come
out, pure and delicious, as she wishes
them to come. Her selections were
all encored. She replied by singing
-" Annie Laurie " and Comm
through the Rye" so well that the
encore was kept up for long time,
a tremendous storm of hand-clap-
ping. Her selections gave this gifted
soprano an opportunity for display
ing her agreeable voice, which is
flexible and sympathetic and makes
us wish she resided in Hilo so that
we might hear her often. We pity
anyone who does not appreciate
music, for it assists in making a
heaven on earth. We must speak
in the highest praise also of the lady
who played the accompaniment at
this concert, Miss Mabel Wing. She
also is an artist. We had hoped she
would have favored us with a piano
solo.
On the evening of the 18th there
was church sociable at the house of
MIR. e. G. Hitchcock. 1t was extra
largely attended.
Rev. Jiro. Okabe, japanese mis-
sionary at Hilo, returned to his charge
on llth'inst and met with very
warm reception. He had been five
months in Japan. He brought with
him Rev. Mr.. Oku, who is a very
able man, highly spoken of by those
who knew him in Japan. The mis-
sion is in a very prosperous condi-
ton.
The Hilo Literary and Musical
took place on the 9th inst. There
were lantern slides by DR.. Williams,
singing by Mrs, Thos. Gulick, piano
solo by Mrs. Forest, recitations by
Miss Winter and DR.. Virgins,
