nese crowded into hacks scurried
hither and thither: young Hawaiians
filed Kahului depot and played guitars
and stepped the hula-kui while wait
ing for the cars; trains full of people
went changing along from Wailuku.
Kihei and Paia-everything for the
time seeming to be conferred on the
great mill at Puunene from whose
lofty cupola foated the stars and
stripes conspicuous for miles around.

than a thousand people of different
races sat down to a magnificent spread
of dainty viands cooked la Hawai-
| ian.
| At AIS p. M, at the finish of the
luau, the Governor made an address
of an hours duration which was ably
interpreted into Hawaiian by Hon. S.
E. Kelinoi.
| The subject matter of the speech was
much the same as delivered recently
on similar occasions, but, as hereto
fore it made the best of impressions
upon the large audience present.
At $50 p. M, the trains conveyed
many of the guests of the H. c. & S.
Co., to their homes-some of whom
returned later to the dancing party
given in the mill by the 9TH Precinct
Republican Club.
| In the evening the interior of the
huge sugar factory was respondent in
its adornment of flags, bunting and
greens and brilliantly lighted with
many electric lamps, the most attrac-
tive decorative feature of the occasion
being the legend Governor Carter"

grand march, Gov. and Mrs. Carter
held reception, Hon. II. p. Baldwin
acting as master of ceremonies.
On the vacuum-pan room transform
ed for the moment into a most delight
full bower, Caterer Mayfield served the
choicest of midnight lunches to all the
ladies and gentlemen who climbed the

guests present enjoyed dancing to the
music of the Waihee stringed band
