Success Of the Pioneer Trip
to the Volcano in CAT,
riaSeS from Hilo,
General Items Of News from The
Rainy Town.

in previous issue of this
paper started from Hilo on Sept.
10Th at Up. m, for Mountain View
halfway houseb to remain over
night. As that house was not sutfi-
:iently large to accommodate all,
We we're distributed at the houses
near by--Mr. Mason's, Mr.. LIE
Blonde's Mr.. BaIdwin's and Capt.
Staples. Next morning at & o'clock
the journey was resumed, Mr.. j. Il.
Wilson and his Concord wagon lead
ing. There were seven conveyances
in all and two ladies on horseback.
We travelled along nicely, over this
splendid road and through woods SO
tropical until we came to the old
Volcano trail, which carriage
wheel had never invaded, when we
had to travel slower in some places,
for a distance of six miles, but the
last mile aud half we could travel
lively. We arrived at the Volcano
House at l0:3O a. M, to the great
surprise of the manager OF the hotel.
Some persons thought it impossible
to get over tho six miles. But Will
son said it could be done and we
believed him and got through. In
future horseback riding is dispensed
with. All passengers will go through
in future on wheels.
Well, when we arrived at the Vol
cano House all together we gave
three cheers. We were the Pioneers.
We made quite display as we came
up to the Volcano House-Wilson
with his Concord wagon with four
gy and the blackboard containing
the scientific corps, and two ladies,
at the head of all, the advance guard
on horseback, Mrs. Wilson and Mrs.
Hardy. We formed circle and
our photographer, Mr.. j. p. Silva,
photographed us sitting in our con
veyances, afterwards i'll group on
the ground. After which we re-
paired to the Hotel where the man
ager assigned us rooms. Shortly
afterwards We we're provided with a
lunch which we all appreciated.
In the afternoon some strolled to
kilauea Xxi, others took sulphur
baths so delightful and refreshing,
and SO beneficial for rheumatism,
neuralgia and impurities of the
blood. These baths should be bet
ter patronized as they are truly ben
efcial, and are not appreciated as
they should be.
AT o'clock a small company went
down into the crater and enjoyed
rare treat, as the crater was very az
tive. There were many fire foun-
tains, and waves of lava dashing
over the bank in several places. Got
back at 7 O'Clock, when we sat down
with the rest of our company and
had a bountiful repast and some
good jokes. In the evening there
were musical selections by Mrs.
Severance, Mrs. III. G. Austin, Mrs.
Richards and others. There was
also dancing. Some of the gentle
men patronized the billiard room.
Next morning we were all on hand
at breakfast composed of nice
variety Of food and some toasts were
drank in honor of the getter-up of
this excursion, Mr.. j. r. Wilson.
We started at 8 a, m, gave three
cheers for MIR. Lee, the manager Of
this beautiful Volcano House, of
which we all feel proud. We stop
ped at MIR. Wilson's Mountain View
House to lunch and rest horses, and
arrived at Hilo 3 p. IN.
Before leaving the Volcano House
we took up one page in the register
with our names, aud headed it,
"Wilson's Carriage Party" Photo.
graphs will be put on the opposite
page to our names, of the hotel and
carriage party, pictures just taken.
We had baby with US three months
old, the daughter Of Mr.. and Mrs.
+. f. Richards. IL was named
Ruth and its health and that of its
parents was drank in glasses of
champagne by the parents and man
ager of the hotel This jolly trip
will long be remembered, and we
think our names should be handed
down to pOsterity.
The party as named in previous
letter consisted as follows: George
Deacon, j. p. Silva, j. Stupplebeen,
Mrs. w. Hardy, j. a. Martin, Mr.. g.
L. Richardson, Mr., G. G. Kennedy

Another party started for the Vol
cano in wagonette and four horses
on the 9th, Hiloites will go up tc
Mountain View House in the after
noon, stay over night, next morning
leave for Volcano House, getting
there about l0;3U, visit crater al
night, and next morning leave for
Hilo, stopping at Mountain View to
get lunch and rest horses, and get,
ting to Hilo at p. III, 18th, making
the trip easy for man and beast
There should be no haste in getting
through the woods, as the trip is So
delightful through it many miles
The unfinished part Of the road is
more easy To travel over than the
road from Hilo to Paukaa, This
must be the fayorite route in time
We think, on account of ease and
