a particularly handsome and becom-
ing Japanese kimono, with a large

Miss Westerveit's, made hit with
the Hawaiian contingent by appearing
in a fetching costume of old Hawaii
IT was carried out well but hardly ap-
preciated by the judges who knew
nothing of the dress.
The climax of the entertainment
came last night, when a mock trial
was held involving two Of the passen-
gers. e. c. Kennedy was chief JUS
tice. Rev. Mr.. WesterveIt associate
Justice, and NJ. Barney Dreyfuss, a dis
tinguisbed French barrister, the other
associate Mott-Smith was leading
counsel for the prosecution and Edi-
tors Matheson and Allen conducted the
defense. The trial was voted a great
success even by the unhappy princi
pals, who played the part Of gay
Lothario who had trifled with femin-
Inc affections and a yengeful woman
who sued him for breach of promise.
The jury compromised by finding the
chief Justice guilty OF unprofessiona
conduct on the bench and filming him
heavily. Z II. r >. II -

Instantly gave the alarm, but though
the ship was turned around and cruis-
ed for half an hour over the place
where the man disappeared. the man
could not be found. 1t was apparently.
a case of deliberate suicide. Mott
Smiths quick action has been the sub
iect of much favorable comment. He.
was the only one who saw the man
leap overheard
The toughest weather of the entire
trip came this Sunday afternoon
Ind evening, when the steamer drove
into the bowling wind and tossing wa.
tiers of baby typhoon," as it is
slightingIy described by the hardened
old salts. Only a few of the drawer
stayed on deck through it, and all
confessed to relief when about 10
O'clock p. m. the tempest abated.
Rev. Mr. Westeryelt of Honolulu
has conducted religious services on
the two Sundays of the trip, with
Mrs Westervelt at the piano.. Mrs.
Westerselt has favored the assembled

piano music selections. She is a mu-
stefan of rare attachments and ex-
ceedingly broad training and has
added much to the pleasures of those
abroad. ~ i
