The new pipe organ now in course Of
erection in the Kamehameha chapel by
the John Bergstrom Organ Co., will be
formally dedicated on Saturday even
ing, March 5th, by Wray Taylor, at the
request of the Hon. G. R. Bishop, it's

play on it last Saturday afternoon, and
test the acoustics of the building. 1t
is a two manual instrument with %
stops and showing two fronts which
are most artistically decorated and
harmonic perfectly with the interior
of the fine building.
On the occasion of the dedication of
the organ, it is intended by the trustees
and Principal Richards, to throw the
chapel open to the public. The pro-
gram which is being arranged by Mr..
Richards, will consist of four organ
solos, choruses by the pupils of both
the boys and girls school. Mrs. Ralph

They are as much superior to the '97

we shall sell them-S65. We defy all

BIRTHDAY LUAU.
Entertainment at Ainahau i'm
Honor of Prince David.

Princess Kaiulani very gracefully
entertained a hundred or more of her
friends in a luau at Ainahau, Satur-
day afternoon. The Princess was
seated in the head table with the
Princes Kawananakoa and Kalaniana-
ole at either side while at the two
longer tables connected Herewith and
arranged so as to allow of comfort in
being seated on the floor were the
guests of the afternoon, most Of whom
were Hawaiians.
The luau was altogether a very
charming affair and distinctively Ha-
waiian Hardly a native dish was
overlooked in the makeup Of the re-
past, and young ladies stood ever
ready to attend even the smallest
wants of the guests.
For some time before the beginning
of the luau, the Hawaiian National
band played under the banyan tree
Immediately in front of the main
house When the feast began, the
music was transferred to a position
near the large dining hall.
When appetites had about been
satiated, Prince David Kawananakoa
arose and proposed the health Of Prin-
cess Kaiulani. This was drunk stand
ing by the men as was the health of
Prince David proposed a little later
on by Hon. A S. Cleghorn. 1t turned
out that KawananakOa was 80 years
old and the luau was given in his
honor.

A MAIL WAIT.
Cause of Delay of the II. NJ. S. S.
WarrinlOO

WarrimOO.
The R. NJ. S. Warrimoo, Captain
Hay in command, arrived in port and
hauled alongside the Oceanic wharf at
about noon Sunday. She left Van
couver at $3.50 p. M, February 18th, and
arrived in Victoria six hours later.
The Warrimoo is making the pioneer
voyage under the new mail contract
with the New Zealand Government
which necessitated her waiting at Vic
toria for the mails. These, however,
being delayed on the Atlantic, she was
detained at that port and did not leave
until 10 p. M, February 18th. When
clearing the straits, heavy rains and
thick weather further delayed the
Warrimoo's progress. This continued
until passing Cape Flattery when the
weather moderated to fresh S. w.
Winds with head seas were encounter
ed, this to lat 40 deg. Here northerly
and n. E. winds set in to lat. 25 N.
when heavy rains were met with. After
this, moderate to light easterly winds
with fine weather set in. This kept
up to arrival in port.
