The visit of the French cruiser Protet
10 Honolulu will be a pleasant memory
to the many who were fortunate in be-
ing entertained on board the crack war
ship. and it is equally certain that the
officers sailed away with deep regrets
for they were handsomely entertained
ashore There was continual round of
pleasure, and there was little active duty
for the officers day or night. and under
the guidance OF Consul Vizzavona. they
were constantly on dress parade at din
ners, luaus receptions and afternoon
teas. On Friday evening of last week the
commander and his officers were enter
tanned by the McGrews, where they
danced and dined and listened to some

GERS entertained the consul, Mr.. A. Raas
and Mr.. j. Tarn McGrew at dinner. fol-
lowing which the merriment reached its
height when the French Review" was
given. This consists in the guests strad-
ding a chair and humping around the
festive board in circle to the singing of
La Marsellaise. The evening was gay
one in the fine wardroom, and for some
time the officers almost believed them
selves in French waters, instead of of
in a peaceful harbor in the broad Pa
cihc
The ladies who have been constantly
entertained by the French officers recip-
rocated on Tuesday by giving delight
full poi dinner at the residence of Mrs.

TO the officers. and was thoroughly en-
joyed. The affair was given at o'clock

palms and ferns. 1t was an Hawaiian
feast the guests being seated on mats
upon the floor. After the supper there
were Rotations, dancing and singing. 1t
