MAUI, Nov. 21st.-The November
meeting of the Makawao Literary So
ciety took place last evening at the
residence of Benjamin d. Baldwin of
Hamakuapoko. The attendance was
quite large, despite heavy showers.
The interesting program, commemora-
tive of Columbus, was as follows:
Reading Introductory, Mr.. Dickey;
scenes recalling leading events in the
life of the great navigator; reading,
Tennyson's Columbus" Mr.. Hardy;
piano solo, Mrs. w. q. Aiken.
The character of Christopher Column
bus was enacted by c. W. Baldwin,
and the other parts by Mrs. B. d. Bald
win, Messrs. Atwater, Dickey, Hair,
w. o. Aiken and Walter Engle. The
final and perhaps most effective tab
leau was that of Columbus asleep in
prison, bound in chains, with five little
girls, dressed as fairies, waving their
wands over the sleeping prisoner.
The annual sale of fancy articles by
the Ladies' Aid Society took place
later in the evening, and brought about
$85. Misses Baldwin and Aiken pre-
sided at the tables.
