HILo HAPPENINGS.
Great Times in the Holidays-Items
of Progress.


Probably no Christmas was ever
more heartily enjoyed than the one
Just passed Presents were in great
profusion and very beautiful. Hall
church had large Christmas tree
with an innumerable lot OF presents
on it. The singing, recitations and
other exercises were most excellent.
The music of the bells by scholars
of Union School under direction OF
Cyril Smith deserves special men
ton.
The Protestant Portuguese church
had a Christmas tree as usual. The
Japanese church had two Christmas
trees. DR.. Wetmore, L. 5. Lyman
and Mrs. Lyman made addresses to
the congregation. At the Chinese
kindergarten, under the direction OF
Mrs. Walsh, there was also a Christ
mas tree for the little ones and |
imagine-in fact believe-that the
children never received more ac-
ceptable gifts than on this day, and
went home perfectly delighted TO
show their beautiful presents to
their parents.
At the Foreign church the Christ
mas exercises were given on Sunday
morning, Dec. 30, by the children
and the choir, and there was also a
recitation by Mrs. +. b. Edgerton,
who lately arrived from San Fran
cisco, which was greatly appreciated.
This lady also gave dramatic re.
cital at the Court House Dec. q.
rhi, entertainment was gotten up at
short notice, and did not draw as
large an audience as it would had
the time been longer. But those
who were there were delighted with
her rendition OF each selection,
which was of the best order. Mrs.
| Edgerton is a teacher OF elocution in
San Francisco, who has studied in
Germany, France and England I'M
der the best OF teachers. Should she
favor the good people OF Honolulu
they will each one be delighted, that
is very certain and the verdict OF all
who attended her recital here.
On New Years day Hail church
had another treat-music, recita-
tions and addresses.
On New Years eve there was a
ball at the Court House. At IL
o'clock all the bells rang, ringing
out the old year and ushering in the
