Kaumakapili Concert.

Last njgbt's concert at Kaooia kapili CLnrcb was attended by a i rery Iarge aodience, in fact everr ] seat was taken balf an honr before f the concert began. The coccert was for tbe ben-fit of the ] Sailor s Home and was nnder the roanagement of Mr. WrayTavl r. < The audience listened to soroe very fine music and thorooghly J appreciated it. After an opening t chorus, sur.g by the Chureh Cho r. Mr. Armstrong Smitb's j pupils give a perfonnance on < bells whieh they handled with ] great etlect. The Serenade for t violiu. viola f and guitar rendered J by Messrs. Heitm »n, Rosen aud j Marques was receivetl with great , applaase and was played in a most artistic manner. Mr. Wray ■ Taylor d.d full justice to the magnificent organ of the Church i in hia elegant per{ormanoe iof Thomas’ Concert F.<ntasia and a very pretty trio was rendered by Miss von Holt. |(piano! Mr. W. A. Love (violin) . aud Mr. W. Taylor(organ). The i great attraction of tbe evening wts of course Mr. aml Mrs. Chas. i Turner and it was pieasing to the audience to notice that tiiue has not made too heavy inroads on their voices. Annis Montague ' g tve evideace of the liae voic with whieh she in furmer tiraes | fascinated so many people and also of her ability as an actress 'in singing Marugerite s jewel I song of Fanst. Handel’s “angels j s o old and yet so young as the second number of Mrs. Turner’s pr gramme. As encores Kathleen Mavonrneen and Hoiue | Sweet Home were made to hokl forth to the great joy of the audience. Mr. Turner also respond* d kindly to the applaoae and encored both his advertised nnmbers. It would not be out of the way here to eall the attention to some of our verv noisy music loving (!) citi-j zeus to the fact that it is very 1 bad forra to express appreciation !of good mnsic by thuraping a eane on the floor in an earnest i and steam hammer like manner. , I It spoils the inAuenee of good mosic on anybody with seusitive ! iars, and while it might be very j proper in a variety theatre (there jby calliug the waiter’s att< ution to “moro beer wanted”) or in a I circus, is in dec;dedly bail t>iste in an opera honse, and stiil more jin a church. Ibcse reroarks ure ! of oonrse not directed to a certaiu ofticial who always shows his; knowfedge anel fpndness of rausic i by- regardless to the floor of the ■ honse —throwing himself into a i paraxysm of noisy euthusiasm as if he was stamping out heetles with a palm tree, cliurnir.g botter or occupying himself iu some | other agricultural occupation. He be —blighted. Since we are in a criticisirg mooil we will add that tbe Kaumakapili church is absolutely the most objectionable building imaginable in whieh to give a concert. Leaving alone the acoustic defects of the build ing we wiil simply mention the eminent danger to the andience . in case of fire, the veiy bad venti- i lation. the horrid oder whieh pervades the locality (the Board ' of Health please take notice) and | fiually the locality itself. The j Opera House is really the only proj>er plaee in whieh to givo n concert and we believe that most j>eople will agree with ns. I Knouli tbe native officer so j badly stabbed by tbe desperad > Casseras is reported to be very low. The mrū(fe natare of the officers did not seem to be as strong as paint©d by P. G- coires ; pondents, for, if so, C asseras woukl have been brougbt to the 5 Station a dead man. No wuite ' officer, in the world, wonld have avoided the irapulse to LiU. when ■ *‘heeled'’ as the twonatives were.

— The Scheutzen C!nb ha<i a verj well atteuded meeting at their clob rooms last evenmg. Scveml new raembers had their names added to the roll aud several applications for membership were presented. A eommnmen tion fr m the P- G- govern.o€nt ■ was read ioforming the clob that, their resolntion anent the snpplyI ing of work (or onemployed whit« men, had been referrod to # * apeeial co»nmitlee.
