Hawaiian has long since held first
rank among the districts of Kauai for
the number and brilliancy of its social
tefes and entertainments, but owing to

times of various forms and colors have
followed each other in rapid succession.

sembled in Kealia had gathered to wit
ness the festivities, consisting of aero
batic sports, fencing, wrestling, etc,
