The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1894-11-26

Early Saturday morning il com
z1encsd 70 rain heavily. and a. II con-
timed. il looked very doubtful whether
The Il Andrew fair would take place.
However with The appearance OF day
light the rain ceased, and though
heavy clouds were constantly making
their appearance over the city no more
rain fell during the day. After al il
vas really g good day for fair, the
weather not being oppressive.
The fair took place IN the Cathedral
grounds, and certainly no better place
could have been selected. The main
entrance was from Beretania street.
IN the vacant lot 70 the right of this
entrance were the luau ard lunch
tents, both having large seating cspac-
lty- They were very prettily decor
ated inside with flags of all nations.
In the luau tent were two long tables
Snd shorter one, which Were all COW
cred with ferns, etc. On these the
native feast was spread, and a splen-
did feast il was, too. In the lunch
tent small tables were used, and here,
y
Entering the Cathedral grounds the
first thing that caught the eye was the
candy tent standing on the right side.
Its interior was most lastly decorated
with evergreens and flags. On the
opposite side on the lawn stood the
flower stand. 1t scarcely needed any
decorations as IL was well set off with
the pretty bouquets of flowers and the
attractive young ladies who beguiled
2 h. nj IA
too, into buying their flowers and leis. |
Next came the double tent for the sale |
Of ice cream and cake. This was a |
delightfully."- cool place in every sense |
of the word, and a thriving business |
was done afternoon and evening.
The schoolroom was used for the |
sale OF fancy articles, etc. On the |
right after entering was the Hawaiian /
table, then the porcelain table, next |
the fancy table followed by the Chinese |
table. At the upper end of the room /
was the lemonade table, and near by
phonograph was on exhibition. On
the left side were the sewing and
children's tables, the fish pond, and
the grab box. All of the tables were
very handsomely decorated with
palms, vines, banana leaves and hags.
At the entrance TO the lusu tent stood
two large banana trees from which
hung two luscious punches OF fruit.
In the evening the grounds were
most brilliantly Illuminated with
hundreds of colored lanterns and
torches, and it was very pretty sight,
one that will long be remembered by
those present. 1t is estimated that
not less than two thousand persons
visited the fair during the day. 1t
opened at IL 80 o'clock in the morning
and kept open until about $50 o'clock
in the evening, when it was closed un-
til seven o'clock. The fair finally closed
about quarter before ten o'clock in
the evening, the strains of Hawaii Po-
moi just before that hour being the
signal that st. Andrews fair was pau.
During the afternoon the Hawaiian |
band under Prof. Berger dis
fine program me of music,
while in the evening the Hawaiian
National band led by J. Libornio at.
tracted q large crowd of listeners.
Among those who visited the fair
were the American Minister and Mrs.
Willis, Mr.. A. G.. S. Halves, II. B.
MIS- Commissioner, and many of the s
passengers by the Miowera.
That the fair was an entire success
goes without saying. Capt. May and
Commander HARDWOOD of the Hyacinth
worked very hard with q number of
blue jackets in putting up the canvas
or the tents and decorating with bun
ing. Their services were highly ap-
oreciated by the management of the
air. Mr.. Henry Smith was the fair
treasurer, and the finances could not r
nave been in better hands. The
Rev. V. III. Kitcat had the general d. Y
ection of the fair and fulfilled his
Irduous duties with credit. The COM !
nittee on Examinations was Messrs.
Henry Smith, III. C.. Trevenen and I
Chang Kim. Wray Taylor had charge
# the main entrance the entire day,
While Messrs. L. Stiles, +. j. Tesla
md Geo. Clark cared for the luau and |
