We read that Mr. Shoji Masayoshi, a distinguished painter in oil, is at work on a likeness of the King of Hawaii, as His Majesty appeared in Japanese dress, when he was present at an entertainment given in his honour in the Momiji-kwan. It is added that the artist intends to make a gift of his work to the Hawaiian Government.

Our painting expert Mr. Furneaux has hung his paintings of the crater in his atelier in Aliiolani Hale to exhibit to the public. This past Wednesday he invited the Members of the Legislature to come and examine his work. So beautiful.
