The Royal Hawaiian Agricul-
tural Society was an important in
situations in it's day, but its fupc.
tons fell into. desuetude in the
eighties. No doubt the cause of
its decay was largely the organi-
cation of the Planters Labor aud
Supply Company, now incorpor
ated as the Hawaiian Planters
Association. This body did 30
much of the practical work that
that royal society was designed to
perform that the occupation OF
the latter dwindled to the vanish
ing point. However, an exhibi- |
ton was held at Kapiolsni Park
by the society as late IS the au
tumn of 1886. 1t was not bril-
liant success. The next summer
brought the revolution with new
constitution, and thence whatever
bore the royal stamp had a hard
time of it nutil the downfall of
the monarchy in 1898.

the leading spirits in the work of
