RESTORATION DAY

The 31st of July is restoration day, and the Minister of the Interior [Kuhina Kalaiaina] announced that that 31st of this month will be held as a national holiday from one end to the other end of the land. But it is heard that the Queen will leave this royal town to stay somewhere very far away from the center of the nation. And that is not all; Honolulu will be disappointed in that there will be no Band playing music at Thomas Square, that place where Hawaiians relax and commemorating the return by Admiral Thomas of the flag of the land which was snatched away by the raider Lord George [Paulet].

[Five more days.]
