sake.

the long list Of Honolulu's entertain
ments. 1t occurred on board the
four-masted schooner Alice Cooke,
and the heroine of the occasion was
a charming little Miss Alice Cooke,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. {. al.
Cooke, in honor of whose birthday
on Monday of last week these festivi-
ties took place. The party was of
course, first and foremost for the
children-but a goodly number of
elders were permitted to attend, on
the score of their relationship to the
little folk.
The weather was unfriendly, but
it could not keep the guests away
though it drove them to seek the
seclusion which the cabin grants.
Tho deck of the vessel was daily
decorated with flags Of various de-
signs, several Of them being the flags
of the various owners, the Hack
fields, Hopper's, Captain Penhallows',
and chief of all, large banner in
scribed with tie name of Alice
Cooke. At halfpast three the com
pany, big and little, began to assem-
BILE, all however abandoning the wet
decks, which were tenanted only by
the Quintette Club, which under the
friendly shelter of an awning sang
and played above while the children
played below in the hold. This hold,
where the table was SET, was any
thing but the disagreeable place
which the name would imply. A
part of the cargo, sweet, clean and
piny-smelling northwest, furnished
the floor The solid sides of the
vessel, studded with its heavy bolts,
vaguely the AT Deutsch
decoration OF the German beer halls.
The single large hold occupies the
whole width and almost the. entire
length of the vessel. 1t afforded the
children ample space for a play
room, and their elders place for
social gathering: A table decorated
with roses and ferns and loaded with
cakes and cream. and ali good things
in abundance, was the centre from
which deft hands distributed these
edibilia to the company. The scene
presented by SO many gay, pretty and
happy children romping in the hol-
low vessel, was unique and pict-
uresque to high degree. One of
the most attractive of them all was
little four year old Alice, demurely
clad in pure white-the blue eyed,
curly haired Princess of the Day.
To take account of stock of all
these children, who were never still
long enough to be made note of, is
