A GARDEN PARTY.
All Vanity Fair at the
Home of a Minister.
Beautiful Grounds Decorated-M u
sic efreshm ents-
Pretty Function.

The high favor in which me Min
Mott-Smith are held by the society
people and the general public Of Ho-
nolulu was fully attested by the sue
cess of the garden party of yesterday
afternoon. It was the largest and most
notable gathering Vanity FAIR has
known for many months. More than
thousand had been hidden to meet
the guests of honor, Mr.. and Mrs. Har-
nearly all who had been invited were
pleased to respond. From to there
was a constant stream Of people COM
ing and going and the grounds and
the dancing lanai were we'll filled all
of the time. The home of the Minister
in lower Nuuanu valley has a most
spacious park. There is much lawn
and the tropical trees and plants are
numerous. The whole had been dressed
most artistically for the occasion.
There was quaintness and an aeSthe-
tic beauty in the happy conceit of plac-
ing artificial vari-colored blossoms on
croton plants and fig trees. Lanterns
and flags were festooned from palm to
palm and the lanai had flags and vines
TO relieve the evennetsS of the carpen-
ter work. The music of concert and
for dancing was supplied by the Gov
eminent band, under Capt. Berger
augmented by Hawaiian young lady
vocalists. The music was a delightful
feature of the partys The scene alto
gether was a lovely one. The men
were for the most part in morning
dress and the ladies in light costumes
some white, but many in colOrs.
The receiving party was in beau
tiful bower and consisted of: The Min
lister of Foreign Affairs, Mrs. Patty
Mrs. E. A. Mott-Smith, Mrs. Harold
Mott-Smith, Mr. Harold Mott
Smith, Mrs l. I. Yates. Mrs Won
Valkenberg. It was in honor of Mr.
and Mrs Harold Mott-Smith and Mrs
Yates that the party was given. After
the ceremony of presentation the
guests turned their attention to con-
versation, to promenading about the
grounds, to listening to the music, OF
to the dancing lanai. Everyone seemed
to know nearly everyone else. making
the occasion pleasant in the extreme
and dispensing to a great extent with
stiff formality. The attendance in

were charmed with the hospitality OF
the host and hostess and with the
tasteful and dainty entertainment Civ
EN-. Maj. Geo. G. Potter. of the Presi-
dents staff, made the presentations.
1t was we'll past o'clock and the
candles had been lighted and the cleo
trio lights turned on before the last
guest departed. The refreshments
which were ample. were served al
tables about the grounds.

Gen. Gomez Troublesome Factor in
Cuban Settlement.
HAVANA.-The Cuban Military AS
sembly being dead, General Maxine
Gomez will take up his programme OF
solidifying the Cubans into a people
that without ceasing will urge the
United States to withdraw from the
island. Gomez, if reinstated as COM
mander-in-c chief, would be of great
service to the United States in the
disbursement of the S3,OOO,O 900, but his
political programme means the keep
ing up OF agitation and disturbance
in the minds of the people and the
weakening of American authority.
Some who are high in authority and
who have exceptional opportunities of
knowing the character and ideas OF
Gomez think the United States Gov
eminent may have trouble with him
yet. His attitude has always been
consistent regarding independence for
Cuba, and he is still working for the
same end.

GOOD ROADS ALL
How the Reputation for
Streets is Kept Up.
Waikiki Driveway Widening Fiji
teen Feet Better-Nuuanu
Stream Walls.

There is considerable activity in the
Read Department during these days.
Large forces of men are being en-
p!oyed IN number of different places
and roads are constantly being i'm
proved and opened up.
The widening of the WAIKIKI road
from King street to Sunny South is
progressing rapidly The road will be
fifteen feet wider when the work is
completed, which will be a great i'm
provement- There are twenty-five men
working on it and it will be finished
in about two weeks
The Nuuanu stream wall on the Eva
side has been about completed to quite
distance above Vineyard street,
which is as far as it Will go. The only
thing lacking is the parapet.
Filling On the lower end of Kukui
street is going ON rapidly. The extern
sion Will probably be finished by the
middle of May.
River street from King to Pauahi
has been macadamized. This street is
one of the best in the city now, the
macadam making perfectly hard and
leved surface.
The construction of Puunui road and
extension of Liliha street is nearing
completion. A large force of men has
been at work ON it for some time, and
when finished it will be a great i'm
proVement.
Tantalus driveway is being widened
i'm many places. Hitherto it was i'm
possible for two rigs to pass if they
should happen to meet i'm the narrow
est spots. The bank is being cut away
| TO a distance of about fifteen feet
| which will enable teams to pass with
| out difficulty.
Forces of men are also at work on
| the West Manoa and Waialae roads
| The grades of the latter are being con
| siderably reduced.
Punchbowl drive road has recently
received extensive repairs and is bet
| ter than ever.
