The third Mardi Gras Bu Masquc,
given last night by the kilOhaua Art |
League. was "a great and brilliant SOC !
clal success. The old nshmarket build !
ing, finely decorated and Illuminated /
and renamed Crystal Palace, % was the
scene of the jollity il is so large that
there was certainly no crowding the
floor i'm fact being perhaps q bit too
large for the gathering. However this
only gave the dancers better room,
and they enjoyed it thoroughly There
was a great assembage of masquerade
characters, represented by well known
Honolulu people and right merrily they
passed the evening. Spectators also,
were there i'm large numbers and found
pleasure i'm watching the movements
of the brilliant throng, guessing at va
rious mysteries of identity and admir-
ing the many clever costumes and dis
guises
The decorations and arrangements
were the first things admired, and they
were worthy of the highest praise The
rude interior of the big building which
was once a turbulent scene of bargain
ing that made it one of HOnolulu's
sights, had been transformed so that
it was an attractive ballroom, with
dressing rooms, lemonade parIor
and supper garden, all very attractive.
! For these arrangements, as well as the
general management of the affair, the
following executive committee of the
! League received many well deserved
CONGRATULATIONS: Mrs. W. NJ. Graham
(chairman), Miss Code Garden (vice
chairmanD, Mr.. d. Howard Hitchcock,
