w. F. Allen and wife at their home on
Emma street. Several intimate friends
of the families were present.
Minister Hatch was hard to keep up
with. He spent most of the day away
from the central part of the town. In
the evening he dined at the residence
of MIR. and Mrs. w. q. Irwin, Waikiki,
where bounteous feast had been pre-
pared. Quite a distinguished party of
gentlemen were the guests of the
lrwins on the occasion. Captain A. G..
s. Halves, the British Commissioner,
Signor d. Canavarro and w. N. ARM
strong were among the number. Min
listers Damon and Smith spent the day
quietly.
Numbers of dinners were given to
friends by private families. In fact
nearly every home in the city had its
special Thanksgiving spread and enter
tanned. One of the most pleasant of
these was at Mr.. j. A. Hopper's, on
King street. Here about dozen young
people Were entertained. At Mrs. Nc
Cartney's, on Emma street. Mrs.
Chapin's, on Richard street. and at
other boarding-houses, elegant repasts
were enjoyed by friends who had been
invited in.
Dinner parties were given at all of the
principal hotels. At the Hawaiian
Hotel Mr.. Harry Lewis entertained
party of twelve of his friends. The
private dining hall was beautifully ar
ranged for the occasion, and the dinner
was excellent.
At the Arlington two parties were
given, one by John Effinger, the other
by Mr.. Brash, both guests of the house.
MIR. Effinger entertained Mr.. and Mrs.
b. Fireman., DIR. Eakin and Mr.. Abel.
Mr.. Brash's guests were Mr. and Mrs.
Mellis and Mrs. McEwen.
Two dinner parties were also given at
Sans Souci. The seaside resort was
gaily decorated in honor of the day.
The Quintette Club was in attendance
and furnished music for the occasion
Mr.. S. f. Nolan of San Francisco gave
what may be termed the "big" dinner.
His special guests were the Cummins
family and connections, though several
others were present. The second party
was given by Mr.. Chester A. Doyle, the
Japanese Interpreter, to Messrs. Dart
and Harrison, Mrs. Allen Herbert and
Miss Herbert.
Several members OF the sporting fra
ternity went out on the West side
shooting. They were Mr.. d. b. Smith,
Brown, Spalding, Godfrey and others.
The weather was bad and they got
good wetting along with the doves
bagged.
Withal, viewing it in every way, con-
sidering the bad weather and the muddy
streets, Thanksgiving day passed off
very pleasantly throughout the city,
and will be remembered, if for no other
reason, for its peacefulness, its rest
from business cares and its turkey.

gotten up chiefly for the purpose of

songs and recitations. The winners of

by Professor Hosmer. With the calling
of names each little fellow stepped for
ward and was mantled with a lei of

FEATHERST0NE LIVES.
HE is IN AMERICA AND FARING ALL
TOO WELL.
Told Aboard ship-wiu Return
to Australia.

Arthur Featherstone, the man who
assaulted his wife with knife at the
King street house last summer and
escaped from the penitentiary in Sep
TENDER, is not dead. He did not drown
off Kalihi while battling with the seas
in an open boat as was supposed at the
time. He is safe in America and the
mystery surrounding his fate is at last
cleared up.
On the morning of September 18th
Featherstone bolted from gang of
prisoners from the Penitentiary while at
work and has not been seen by the
authorities since. He was traced to the
neighborhood of Kalihi where it was
caught in the rough seas and disappeared
from view. After that no traces of the
man could be found far or near. Some
people believed he was still upon this
island, but most held the opinion that
he was drowned.
Such, however, was not the case. The
Ceylon left for Port Townsend shortly
after noon on September 18th, and
Arthur Featherstone was safe aboard
the vessel. The Ceylon returned Thurs
day, and Featherstone's story is known
to all the crew. He told it to them
going up. He also outlined the particu-
lars OF his escape The narration told
by the officers OF the Ceylon is as fol-
lows:
shortly after noon on September 18th
the bark Ceylon set sail, in ballast, for
Port Townsend. She carried no passen-
gers. OFF port the weather was fine, a
light breeze blowing. The men were
busy setting sail and getting ready for
sea until after the channel was cleared
Outside the vessel veered westward, and
soon afterward the pilot was discarged
Prior to this time man in an open
boat was seen off the bow of the vessel
He was clad in heavy flannel shirt
and tousers, or ordinary citizens clothes
A little later he was seen lose astern
No special notice was taken of him
as he was thought to be an ordinary
fisherman. Some remark was made
about his being far out to sea, but thin
was regarded of no great importance.
The next thing they saw of the mar

Prof. Lyons reported a fall of $40
inches of rain since Thursday morning.
For the month the total rainfall has
been 1875 inches; for the year, up to
date, 1888. Considering the long
draught during the summer months
the Professor reports this an extraordi
narily large rainfall for the year. Tn,
figures are about an average, but the
distribution very imperfect. Northerly
winds are reported today. The Profess
sor considers the immediate outlook
uncertain, though he says good weather
to about December 10th is probable.
