very enjoyable affair. There was not
a large number present, but the vol

the lack of numbers. The feature of

ably lodged this year, the first on rec
ord, for which thanks are due Alfred
Hayselden. But this is but a small
item, the more important ones are well
known to everybody concerned. That
Lahaina is prospecting is satisfactory,

large majority.
