Japanese Fete Marriages Parties
Personal Notes.

social fetes and entertainments, but
owing to combination of circum-
stances, and influx of large num-
Der of old friends from the other ISL
ands, and new ones from abroad,
the past few weeks have been un-
usually gay and festive. Fetes, re-
ceptions, tea-fghts and social pas
times of various forms and colors
have followed each other in rapid
succession, and society is beginning
to look just trifle tagged.
Nov. 4th the Mikado's birthday
was celebrated by His Majesty's sub
jects at Kealia more extensively
than ever before.
At an early hour people of differ
ent nationalities, in holiday attire,
began to arrive, by noon the largest
crowd ever assembled in Kealia had
gathered to witness the festivities,
consisting of acrobatic sports, fenc-
ing, wrestling, ETC., which continued
throughout the day, concluding in
the evening with feast and very
creditable display of Japanese pyro-
| technics.
There was but one casualty re-
ported. A Jap, in preparing one of
the rockets, was carelessly ramming
home charge of giant powder when
it exploded in his hands, puncturing
his body in several places, and other
wise seriously injuring him. He
will recover, however.
Cupid has been right busy in these
parts lately, and as a result we have
had quite number of weddings,
with more to follow in the near
future.
Tuesday, Nov. 9TH, Miss Annie
Mcdonald was married to Mr.. Adam
Lindsay. The ceremony was per
formed at St. Andrews Cathedral,
Honolulu-Rev. Alex. Macintosh
officiating-after which the happy
couple took steamer for Kauai, and
proceeded to the home of the groom's
parents-Mr. and Mrs. Alexander
Lindsay-at Moloaa, where an ele-
giant reception was held Wednesday
evening, Nov. Sth, followed by dane
ing and music which lasted until
dawn of the 9th. Notwithstanding
the inclement weather and heavy
roads, which made travelling at night
trife disagreeable, there was a
large party present, amongst which
were noticed many prominent Kau-
aians. Mr.. Lindsay is very popular
and highly esteemed by host OF
friends and acquaintance numbered
among the best people on the island,
who we're anxious to do honor to his
charming young bride who made a
very favorable impression upon all
who had the pleasure of meeting
her.
There is dash of romance con-
nected with this promising young
couple dating back some twelve
years or more, when they were boy
and girl together far away among
the hills of Scotland, which resulted
in the wedding just mentioned.
Miss Mcdonald is "bonnie Scotch
lassie" from Renfrewshre near
Greenock, where she first met aud
loved the bright-eyed boy that she
has travelled half the world over
alone, and through many perils OF
land and .sea-being one OF the
few fortunate survivors of the awful
collision between two passenger
trains on the Grand Trunk road in
Michigan, Oct. 2Oth-to marry and
bless with love that time and dis
lance has only strengthened. May
a long and happy life be theirs in
their new home at Kekaha, where
Mr.. Lindsay is engaged in mercan-
tile business.

Kealia, doing considerable damage
They made a grand and awe-inspil
