The great Kawaiahao fair is over
and the ladies who have labOred so in.
dustriously and so willingly for the
past six weeks in the cause of the
good old historical church will now
have a chance TO enjoy their well-de-
served rest.
IL has been said by many of the old
residents of Hawaii Nei that the Ka-
waiahao fair was the grandest one
ever seen here 1t is certain, from
the figures turned in by Mr.. George
Castle, the trustworthy fund-keeper
Of the fair, that it far exceeded the
most extravagant hopes of any of the
active workers.
At the close of the last night of the
fair Mr.. Castle collected the money
from all the ladies, and found, upon
adding this to the amount collected
the first night, that he had 81, 1856, not
counting the outside ticket money yet
TO be handed in. The workers in the
cause Of Kawaiahao expect TO hand in
$1,000 for her perpetuation. They
think they have good reason to be-
lieve that this amount can be cleared,
as the expenses have been very light.
AT a rough estimate 500 should cover
all bills How the expenses could fall
20 easily, when everything was so
elaborate, needs explanation.
Everyone was particularly struck
with the decoration of the Armory.
That was due to the kindness of Cap
tains May and Hayward, together
with a squad of sailors from the Hya-
cinth, who are TO be especially
thanked. All but eighteen of the
flags came from the Hyacinth the
others were Government flags, and
obtained through the courtesy of Min
lister King.
Without the band the fair would
not have been such brilliant success.
For this most valuable addition Mr..
Hatch is TO be thanked. No more
favorable and better place than the
Armory could have been picked out
for fair. The usual charge for one
night is $50, but Mr.. Manuel Ferrera
gave the use of his building three
days and charged but $25. What
would have happened had there been
no lights, no one knows. Mr.. Hoff
man, the dispeller OF darkness, out Of
the very goodness OF his heart and a
genuine aloha for the old church, had
all Of the electric lights put up and
tastefully arranged absolutely free of
charge. To Messrs. Levers * Cooke
the greatest thanks are due for fur
nisning the lumber necessary for the
erection of the ice cream lanai, the
fancy tables, the band stand, the fish

Mr.. Hopp kindly saw that the ice
cream lanai did not want for tables,
while Mr.. Warehouse furnished the |
best of crockery and spoons. Mr.. |
Steiner, in consideration of the good |
cause OF the fair, gave the ice cream |
at reduced prices and made donation |
besides.
Each and every one of the ladies who |
worked at the fair did all that she |
was given to do with the greatest of |
good will and the kindliest Of cooper
alton. Everything went off smoothly /
and there were no disagreeable bitches
Kawaiahao extends to
these together with those who sent
in donations her warmeSt thanks and
her aloha nui loa. Mrs w. w. Hall
with her live doll show increased the
of Saturday afternoon. To
her and her dolls KawaiahaO extends
her right hand of fellowship, as she
does To the many kind helpers who
gave their time in order that the fair
in her cause might be success in
every way.
