sward and trees of that lawn. When
the chief steward sent notice TO Gov
ernor Kapena that the luau was sa,.v.
ed, the Admiral with Lady Emma. The
Governors wife, led the procession, fol-
lowed by the Governor and the Mar
quise As they approached the lanai
they were met by galaxy of Hawai-
ian nafdens who decorated each with a
lei or wreath of lehua blossoms entpgin-
ed with the glossy fragrant MALE or ~
roses and ferns. The Adrnirf
sraced the head of the feast, with LadT
Emma and the Marquise on either side
OF him, and both sides of the long luau
were Respondent with attending, ladies
officers and civilians. A band of musi
clans. both vocal and Instrumental
played and sang lively airs while the
feast progressed. The flowing howl
passed freely. the jovial Harry's wine
cellars having been raided for the oc
casfon. Toasts to the President. to the
King, TO the ladies. to the Governor
and TO the citizens of I4ahaina ELECTED
| responses from parties possessing un-
expected oratorical powers. The hilar
} ity and enjoyment of the luau progress
ed until either the gustatory nerves
were satisfied or until the capacity for
more of the delicious viands was
reached.
The feast ended. the immense marty
resolved itself into little groups be-
meath the outrageous shelter of the
beautiful shade trees of the pretty
grounds. The Admiral then invited
the Governor to accompany him 10
Ulupalakua. Governor Kapena was one
of those genial. well educated Hawai-
ians whom the King delighted 10 gath
er around him.
He replied that he would be delight
ed to accompany the Pensacola 10
Ulupalakua, but dreaded the,long ride
overland back to Lahaina. Turning to
kimo the Admiral, while extending an
| invitation to him also. begged him to
| use his influence to induce the Cover
nor to make the trip. Kimo replied
| that the genial Captain Makee had sf-
! ten invited him to accept the hospital
| ity of Ulupalakua, and he knew the
! Governor was also a welcome
| guest there, but feared to impose
| on the captains kindness when SO
large a party was going. The Cover
nor then urged Kimo to accept the Aax,
mirals kind invitation, saying that's n
would only consent on condition of3zs4N
surance of good company for the re- (
turn trip of forty miles. This decided
it, and the Admiral arranged a break
fast party on board for the follow
ing morning Immediately prior to the
sailing Of the Pensacola.
On the following morning boat load
of wreathS of flowers and ferns were
sent on board and delightful break
fast was enjoyed both in the Admiral's
cabin and in that of the ward room Of
ficers. All the shore people having left,
anchors were weighed and a pleasant L
voyage, under slow steam was made
along the coast and across Maalaea
Bay, which for the nonce was placid,
to MAIZENA,, the landing of Ulupalal<ua.
A boat came off with a request to the
Al, fr-11 ara1 Co NfoSv, 1T
enough to permit all the officers who
could be spared from the ship to accept
Captain Makees hospitality. AS the
boats approached the landing innumer-
able saddled horses were observed pre-
pared to carry the riders to an eleva-
ton of 1900 or 1000 feet, where the pail
atial mansion was situ&ted. Again ev-
cry one was decorated with wreaths of
MALE, lehua blossoms and FERNS sent
down by the ladies. of the household,
and the oavalade began the ascent.
Half way up the Captains sons, Par
ker and Charley, in charge of large
gangs of men engaged in bodybuilding,
were encountered.
Arrived at the Plantation, servants
took charge of the horses, and Mrs.
Makee, her charming daughters, ap>f -
several lady friends. invited for the o9s -
casion, welcomed the guests. Imred.f
lately the extensive labyrfnthine cement S
walks appeared to be filled with groups
of uniformed officers and ladies gather
ing the beautiful flowers for which
Uiupalakua, under Mrs. Makee's fos-
tering care, was so justly celebrated.
Presently, parties for croquet and
other games were made up, while some
of the older ones, under Captain Makee.
to the beautifully decorated
billiard rooms.
When dinner was announced the i'm
mense party adjourned to the dining
hall, with fear and trepidation that it
could not be possible there could be
room for all. Mrs. Makee's resources
were equal to the occasion, and assur-
edly more brilliant scene could not be
than that assemblage of uni
formed officers and handsomely dressed
ladies. The lights scintillating from
crystals of the chandeliers and innu-
merable glasses at each seat, together
with the profusion of flowers used in
decorating the salon, made most
charming effect.
Mrs. Makee at one end of the long
table and the dear old captain at the
other, with their sons occupying the
centers, were unfailing in their atten-
lions to the most remote guest. As
sisted by we'll trained servants, the
dinner passed as if a matter of every
day occurrence. The usual toasts and
speeches and brilliant repartee were IN
1ulged in until the ladies retired when
cigars were passed. The large party
again dissolved itself into groups

card parties. Ten O'Clock found live

with the captain. All night they trav- s {
eled around the table, and at dawn ~
with his own hands Captain Makee~~
made coffee for those who had remain
ed to watch the finish Of the game, or
to play cards. After breakfast, when
was almost as grand an affair as the
dinner, the Admiral and his gallant
group of officers bade the captain and
