a "Dicken's Evening" 1t Fafa-
Stray ScIiLbIinE-a
Robbery, etc

Though not so ambitious in pur-
pose as the science club Of Homo
lulu, the Literary Society Of Maka-
wac every now ana then does some
most pleasing and interesting
work.
1t must be that distance lends
enchantment" for it is a matter of
marvel that All association of the
sort has fourished 50 long and so
successfully amid so many diff
culties, the greater of which are the
weary miles to be traversed before
a meeting Of the clans is an &C
complished fact. Last evening the
9th inst, the monthly reunion
was held at the residence Of Mr..
and Mrs. II. Laws of Paia. The
atmosphere still and warm and
radiated by the brilliancy of a
silvery moon made the broad
veranda, prettily adorned with
potted ferns and coIored lanterns,
the most attractive part of the
auditorium.
The programme rendered is as
follows:

9. "Fea Party" (Scene from Martin
ChuZZlewit
l0. Refreshments, (Salad, Coffee, etc. |
II. Trial Scene from PickWick.
Most of the events merit encom-
ium, but two members won special
favor the first, "The Tea Party"
taken from Martin Chuzzl ewit,
during which Sarah Camp lets
loose the hoodgates of her elo-
quence and wrath upon the offend
ing head of Betsey Prig, Occasioned
much applause, expressive of the
large audiences sincere admiration
for one of the finest bits of COM
edy acting that the district has
in years. Miss Paris
impersonated Mrs. Prig and DR..
Stowe impersonated the irate
Sarah most realistically, both in
and action.
The second remarkable event was
the trial scene from Pickwick. 1t
was all in costume with railing,
witness box, dais, canopy and all.
5ergeants Buzzfuzz (Mr. Dickey)
and Snubbin. (Mr. Hocking) were 7
prominent in barrister gown and
wig. "Mr. Justice Starlight"
Mr.. Laws), in wig, red gown and {
,rmine, imposing in size and digni- b
~, was the center of attraction. I
The funeral widows weeds" of Z
Mrs. Bardel Miss Campbell), and y
he bald head of "Pickwick" (Mr. v
Ioveland), were noticeable inside q
he bar of justice. The address to 0
he jury by Buzzfuzz ("Chops vs. =
romatoe Sauce"), was most humor- n
'usly rendered by Mr.. Dickey. Miss W
Iorris made a most effective wit g
less as Mrs. Cluppins ;" Sam fc
Weller" (Mr. Lindsey showed utter v,
disregard for the VERY" great dig m
ity of the "big wigs" and DR.. SC
'tow's rendering of the timid "Mr. IL
Vinkle" was a revelation. In fact
was an enjoyable and successful az
vening, and perhaps even the W
preckeIsviIle and Kahului people u
ID not regret their long drive. N
