Hon. G. w. Ashford found time


taking lunch also with Mrs. Kate
More Wells the artist.
The annual meeting of the East
Maui Racing Association, which is
held the first Saturday in May, took
place at the Court House, Waikiki,
the evening of the 9TH inst, with a
full attendance. The following Off
GERS were elected:
Hon. II. ID. Walbridge. d. President
Mr.. A. f. Hopke. Vice President
Mr.. l.. NJ. Vetlesen. u..,. Secretary
Mr.. +. l.. Stolz. ....... Treasurer
Executive Communicable G.. II.
Broad, Dr. Geo. Herbert, and Mr..
G. p. Wilder.
After business the company adj
journed to the residence of the Hon.
Il. d. Walbrdge, where toothsome
refreshments were beautifully served
to the evident enjoyment of all pres
ent. Lovers of the race-especially
those who favor Kahului with their
presence and horses-will be pleased
to learn that the Association have
about finished raising the grade of
their track from zero to II or 10
inches, thereby overcoming the posi-
bility of being flooded again.
The same evening our popular
government physician, DR.. George
Herbert, entertained number of
friends at dinner at his cosy home in
Wailuku, which was a gastronomic
and social success.
Wednesday evening Mrs. F. l..
Stolz of Kahului, gave a "spider-
web" party in honor of her friend
Mrs. A. May, of Oakland, California,
who departs for her home and thence
TO New York Saturday next. A lady
whose charming personality has won
for her a large circle of friends among
Maui's elite society, nearly all of
whom were present to bid her fare
well and bon voyage.
AS this was one of the largest
gatherings Of the season as well as
an exceedingly unique affair, a brief
description of it may be of interest.
In addition 10 the'tasteful and ex-
quisite floral decorations throughout
the house, the parlors also containing
the huge "spider's WEBB from which
this delightful entertainment derives
its name. This web was composed
of silken cords of red and blue colors,
laced and intertwined in most intri.
cate manner, with innumerable
spiders (artifcial) of various sizes
and degree, clinging to its meshes.
The ladies were given each spider
on blue cord, while the gentlemen
each selected one on the red; then
al signal from the fair hostess, the
agreeable task of unravelling began !;
prize awaiting the fortunate couple
who succeeded in freeing themselves
first without parting the cord, and as
each pair of blue and red cords were
united, when free, they joined gen.
tleman to his fair partner for the
evening. 1t does not require very
vivid Imagination to picture the vari'
Gus ludicrous contretemps inciden,
to this struggle for freedom.
After the first p,ize had beer
awarded to Mr.. Il. Albrecht refresh
ments most delicious and of grea
variety, including well made ice
cream, were served. Then followed
Mr.. G. Stoeckle with his wonderful
phonograph, regaling all presen
with u number of beautiful selec
tons, which proved great treat ant

ent and to many was novelty of th'
first order.
Dancing was then indulged in, unit
