lee Day Memorable.
Grand Ball in Waimea HaII-Sports
in Makaweli Plantation
Fields.

MAKAWELI, Kauai, June 23.-That
the Britishers of Kauai are as loyal to
their Queen as their fellow-country-
men in other parts of the world has
been amply proven during the recent
celebrations on this island.
The subject was first proposed some
two months ago, and, being supported
by the good wishes of all classes of
Her Majesty's subjects, considerable
sum of money was collected and the
arrangements placed in the hands of
representative committees, who, one
and all. worked hard to make the oc
casion as it undoubtedly was, one TO
be long remembered on Kauai.
A grand ball on the evening of Fri
day, the 18th, in the Waimea public
hall commenced the program, and as
everyone present seemed to be there
with the firm intention of thoroughly
enjoying themselves, the result, as
was anticipated, was grand success.
The Decoration Committee, consisting
of Messrs. Francis Gay, T. n. Gibson,
James Dupon, R. w. Hamilton and R.
E. Mist, surpassed everything hitherto
attempted in that line in the district,
and the hall was the admiration of
everyone present. In this department,
as in every other connected with the
whole program, very special credit and
thanks are due to Messrs. Gay &
Robinson, of Makaweli, for great as
sistance in the shape of both material
and labor, without which it would
have been almost impossible for the
| different committees to have made the
show they did Before leaving the
subject of decorations, the Britishers
of Kauai would also express their
! thanks TO Miss Smith OF Waimea
whose royal coat of arms and other
items on the walls of the hall were
so justly admired as being really
works of art.
When the dance program was hall
completed supper was served in Ia
mai, erected on one side of the hall es.
pecially for the occasion. The health
of Her Most Gracious Majesty, Queer
Victoria, was proposed in a few well.
