The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1893-07-10
Especial to the ADVERTISED.

Kahului races tired from the excite
ment and pleasure of long day
and bronzed with the dust that was
continually blowing in their faces
from the much-used track. Yet Terp-
sichore was to hold high carnival in
the skating rink, and fond remem-
brance of her many charms soon
caused forgetfulness of travel stains,
WEAKNESS and care. The rink-the
scene of the evenings pleasures a
magnificent dancing hall, triple the
size of any like structure on Maui,
with superb floor, spacious in OK
tent, CLASSY in its smoothness and
simply perfect for stripping the light
fantastic"
The interior was Respondent with
large pendent lamps and a hundred
Chinese lanterns, the bright beams
of which gave lustre to the lively
colors of bunting, banners and flags,
which hung from the ceiling, draped
the walls and waved from the plat
form, behind which a Honolulu or
chestra played most exquisite music.
The green of ferns also played an
important part among the red, white
and blue, and, altogether, the interior
decoration was something more Law
ish and moro beautiful than has been
seen on our island for a decade of
years.
The pretty programmes, printed in
Fourth of July tints, contained the
names of Messrs. j. w. Kalua, G. F.
Horner and Geo. Hons, who wore the
handsome red and gold rosettes of
the reception committee; w. H. G.
Campbell, floor manager, was dis
tingnished by badge of white and
gold; and the floor directors. Messrs.
Il. j. Mclaughlin, w. o. Aiken, and
f. w. Hardy, were conspicuous with
fluffy light blue ribbons with gold
buttons. All Wailuku was there, to-
gether with strong representations
from Lahaina and Makawao districts.
The ladies, many of whose toilets
were most elaborate and elegant, out
numbered the thirty dancing men,
and thus by their fair presence gave
a most pleasing eclat to this most
successful reception of Terpsichore.
From a long sideboard, which
stretched across the entire mauka
end of the hall, chicken, salads, ice
cream, iced drinks, cakes, etc, were
dispensed to the $50 or 200 guests of
the occasion. That dancing under
the given conditions was most ex-
quisite pleasure goes without saying,
and the only marplot of the evenings
gayety was the early departure of the
train, bearing with it the Makawao
guests and the band boys. Many
thought it most ungracious of the
Kahului Railroad Co. to cause the
best and largest party of the year to
break up at 10:45 P. NJ, especially so
since it has been learned ON good
authority that the Likelike did not
leave for Honolulu for more than
three hours later. However, the
pleasures of life, which are "short
and sweet" are perhaps the most
appreciated and the longest remem-
bered, especially as regards an event
like this, which wildly recalled SINH
lar past celebrations In some of the
large towns at home.
THE PARTY AT sPRECKELsvILLE.
On the day before tho 4th, numer-
Gus invitations were issued to dance
at Spreckelsville hall for Tuesday
evening. To put it mildly, people
generally were much astonished-
!" two dances on Maui during the
same evening"" Why, invitations to
the ball under the auspices of the
annexation club were issued long
ago and to everybody. whats the
matter 2" Echo answers, Don't
know" for it can't be possible that
people in polite society would know
ingly mix political and social affairs
together. However, the party &C.
Cured under favorable auspices, and
a most pleasant time is reported.
The National band furnished delight
full music, and fifty people partook of
a most bountiful spread in the large
supper-room. AS is always the case
