A HAOLE PAINTER OF PICTURES.—We are happy to announce to our fellow devotees of the newspaper, that here in Honolulu is a haole named Perry who is highly skilled in painting pictures, and very accurate are the features of the painting of the Reverend Corwin of Kaukeano Church,¹ of which we have seen the likeness. We have heard that the Royal family has decided to give the haole a job of this nature.
¹Kaukeano Church was located at the corner of Fort and Beritania Streets.
