Lodge Maui HOnOrS
Visiting Brothers
Banquet At New Maui Hotel a De-
lightful Aifair-LOCaI MaSOnS En-
tertain in True Maui Style.

In honor of James Fenton Fenwick,
district inspector of the 61th United
States Masonic district, and five other
prominent Masons of Honolulu, an ex-
ceptionally enjoyable banquet was
given last Monday evening at the
Maui Hotel, by members of Lodge
Maui, No 9Si. The other visitors
were-William Bell, Malcolm MacIn-
tyre, j. r. NJ MacLean, Walter C.
Shields and Irwin Spalding The ban
quet came at the conclusion of some
interesting exempifying work in the
lodge on Saturday and Sunday, for
which purpose the Honolulu members
had come to Maui.
The banquet was notable also from
the fact that it was really in the ma
ture of an opening event for the re-
modelled Maui Hotel, and as such was
a real triumph for Manager Brother w.
II. Field. The work on the building
had been rushed to completion for the
occasion, and the beautiful new lobby,
with its natural finished wood work,its
setting of palms and ferns, and tis de-
,ightfully inviting tropical aspect was
brought into use for the first time by
Lodge Maui's guests. The handsome
enlarged dining room lent itself ad-
mirably to the purpose of the banquet,
and the great tables were beautiful
in their decorations of roses, ferns and
bamboo.
There were 73 members of the order
at the tables when the feast began at
o'clock. And it was jolly party that
discussed the delicious menu, which
was as follows:
Manhattan Cocktail
Eastern oysters
olives Radishes
Chicken Broth
Filet of Kumu la Maitre d'Hotel
Saratoga Potatoes
Veal Outlets la Flamande
French Peas
Punch au Maraschino
Roast Island Turkey
Cranberry Sauce
Mashed Potatoes Asparagus
Fruit Salad
Neapolitan Ice Cream
Assorted Small Pastry
American and Roquefort Cheese
Cafe Noir
A number of excellent addresses fol-
lowed, Brother Ben Williams acting
as toast-master with great ability.
The first toast, "The President" was
responded to by Brother d. H. Case in
his usual able manner. He was fol
lowed by Brother d. c. Lindsay, who
responded to the toast, "The Grand
Lodge of Scotland" and handled his
subject in mastery fashion
Brother James Fenton Fenwick af-
forwards spoke on "The Grand Lodge
of California" to which jurisdiction,
from the Scotland grand lodge, the
Maui lodge is contemplating transferr-
ing its affilation. The topic was nat
urally one of particular interest to all
the Masons present.
Brother ]. B. Thomson sang song
something about the Safety Pin Be-
hind" which struck a lighter vein, and
caused much hilarity. Brother Rich
ard Lillico's song, "My Sweetheart
When a Boy" was also appreciated,
as was a poetical note of regret from
Brother DR.. McConkey to Host Field,
| over his inability to be present, which
was read by the toast-master. How
ever the genial doctor agreeably dis
appointed the assembly by putting in
a slightly belated appearance.
Congratulations were in order for
BrotherC. C. Campbell, who was unable
| to be present owing to a very import
ant event which occurred at his home
in Puunene the same evening. 1t was
announced that mother and daughter
were doing well.
Other speakers of the evening were
Brothers Duncan, Bell, MacLean,
Rosecrans, West, Green, Villiers, Bow
dish, It. d. Collins, Spalding, Scott,
| Fleming, Weight, and Howell.
D. c. Lindsay, w. o. Aiken, Hugh
Howell, D. H. Case, and w. H. Field
rendered Maui's Civic Convention
song-"What Maui Means to Me-"
An interesting feature of the even
ing was the taking of subscription
among those present for the Christ
mas fund for the Molokai settlement,
which resulted in the sum of S107.3O
being collected in a few minutes,
which will go towards bringing cheer
to the unfortunate wards of the Ter
ritory at Kalaupapa.
The gathering broke up about 10 80
with the singing of "Auld Lang Syne, -
