Bennington arrived from Honolulu
Sunday afternoon, at about / 80
o'clock, and sent a boat ashore
containing officers commissioned to
inquire whether or not they might
be allowed the freedom of the har-
Dor and the shore. There was no
occasion for any hesitation in grant
ing them every. desire for landing,
and today the officers and crew
have certainly made use of this
longed-for opportunity to be on
terra frma for a change. This
afternoon reception was held on
board the good ship, and several of
Hilo's young ladies responded to
the invitation of Lieutenant Elliot.
Another party Of ladies expect to
pay tribute to the Bennington and
it's officers tomorrow morning, if
the weather continues as perfect as
it was today. This evening the
band is giving a concert at the
Hilo Hotel. There is in project a
dance for Friday evening, to be
held in the hall of the new Spreck-
els building, on the corner Of Wal
nuenue and Front streets. The
officers, as well as the young folks
in Hilo, are regretting that the
Bennington was not in port last
week, while fair luna was her
brightest, and moonlight boating
parties would have been quite the
thing.
I There were several riding parties
during the week, but Jupiter Plu-
vius was a little perverse at times,
and some folks did not enjoy their
ride. One party of five or six
couples went out from the residence
of Mr.. and Mrs. E. D. Baldwin last
Monday evening. Another party
of six couples started from the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Rich
ards on Thursday evening. Upon
returning to the house after a race
on the beach and a jolly ride out
on the road they took supper and
continued the evenings pleasures
with singing and dancing until
after midnight.

held at the pretty home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Alex. Cockburn on Friday
