HEALANI BOAT CLUB.
Grand House Warming of
the New Club House.

some months with the most san
guine expectations of pleasure
took place last night. This was
the house warming or inaugural
ball of the Healani Boat Club in
its large and handsome club
house just erected on the Kaka-
ako reef.
A great many invitations we're
issued for the event, a large pro-
portion of which were accepted
in person. There were about
four hundred people present.
Their welcome was artistic, bril-
liant and cordial. Guests on
stepping out of their carriages at
the old immigration depot found
manila carpeting spread from
the road to the pier, which pre-
vented the sand from getting into
the dainty shoec of the ladies and
the dancing pumps OF the gen
tlemen.
The long pier leading to the
boat house was lined with color
ed lanterns, looking like jap
anese night procession at halt.
A colored crescent of lamps was
suspended beneath the club
house ffagstaffs, and the front of
the building was blaze of glory
from anterns outside and the cleo
triclights within. Simply splendid
were the decorations within the
hall on the upper floor. Upon en-
tering the room the at head'of the
stairs, the first object TO attract
the guests admiring gaze was
horse shoe OF colored electric
lights at the opposite end over the
middle of the veranda arches. This
iridescent object enclosed large
portrait of the president of the
club, Theo. F. Lansing, and on
either side of it were the Ameri-
can and Hawaiian flags gathered
in artful folds. On the Waikiki
side there was life boy inscribed
"Healani Yacht and Boat Club"
enclosing the portrait of the
clubs captain, Clarence w.
Macfarlane; also the clubs mono
gram, III B C,"done in variously
colored marguerites, enclosed in
a wreath of Male vine. At
intervals on the same and the
opposite side we're crossed oars,
one pair of which was marked
with silken ribbon bearing the
name of ithe sister organization
Myrtle Boat Club" The wall
of the town side had, besides
teaceries of ferns and vines,
framed group pictures of the
clubs Pearl Harbor winning crew
of October s, 1892. and of A l.
c Atkinson's native barge crew
that, in the Kapiolani, defeated
the U S S San Francisco and
the Kanoelani barges over a six
mile course at Pearl Harbor
regatta on March II. 1892. The
entrance was draped with Amer
lean and Hawaiian flags, and the
wall at that end bore a good
colored picture of the club
house, and large frame contain
ing the roll of members. TIL

the hall was iestooned with vines
and streamers.

EAsrER.-ro-morrow being Easter
dav. the Christian nations of the world
will celebrate one of the principal feasts
of the church and in every quarter OF
the globe the day will be honored by
rite and ceremony after the peculiar
custom of the people Whereabouts. In
Catholic countries and communities and
in lands and places protesting the faith
of the Church of England the day Will
be one of high ceremony, celebrated
with song and psalm and with affairs
.hcaped high with flowers symbolical
of the occasion. In this city, aside
from the religious character of the &C.
.casion, the day will take another fea'
ture. Society will lay aside her gown
of sackcioth, tastefully made, You may
be sure. shake the ashes from her hair,
lift her ewes that have been lowered SO
demurely for forty days and array her
self in bright colors such as Solomon IN
all his glory dared hardly dream OF.
The streets will be thronged with mas
terpieces of the modiste that will SWISH
bv with merry crinkle of stiff skirts and
leave an odor of violets and lilies of the
valley in their wake. The churches
will blossom as q garden with floral
headgear and the colors of the rainbo Nv
will take pointers from multi-hued SILK
waists. Every woman will go to church,
some to worship and some to see those
who come to worship. There'll be men
at church, too. Hard hearted will he
be, indeed, who cannot experience some
measure of sympathy in the feeling Of
qualification over good clothes and new
effects which possesses his wife ano
daughters and the feminine world gen
orally. The Episcopal and Catholic
churches of this city make elaborate
preparations for the celebration o
Easter ceremonies and other denomi
nations in lesser degrees of rite anc
ceremony acknowledge the day and the
symbol of its observance. Music and
services OF song are principal features
in all churches, and the humblest chap
el sings its Easter hymn.

LARGE CATCHES OF FIsH.-Reports
which the Weems Line boats bring up
from the fishing grounds of the Poto-
mac are the effect that all kinds OF nsn
are so plentiful that herring, for which
the Potomac is famous, are being turn
cd out of the nets by the fishermen be-
cause they are not salable. Alexandra
takes a very large part of the usual
herring catch of the Potomac, but the
dealers there refuse to buy any more,
and the catch of other and better fish
is so large that there is no market TOR
herring anywhere. 1t was reported
yesterday that the day before o,Ooo
herring, which had been caught in the
nets on the Potomac, were turned back
into the water.-Balt. american.
