MYERS OPERA HOUSE.
Arlington, Cotton and Kemble's Minstrels are
playing an excellent programme this week to
fair houses. The vocal and instrumental con-
cert includes new ballads and comic songs.
Milburn's graphic portraitures are exceedingly
amusing, and the three burlesquea shake The
audience with laughter. The duet by Tyrren

are numerous and strong.

composed Of q class of people whose attendance
upon any performance implies compliment.
The house was well filed On each OCCASION, and
the fact that it was so, in the face Of strong
counter attractions, themselves Of character
tending to call out the fashionable, and critical,
must be taken as IN evidence of the warm es-
TEEN in which Miss Jane Coombs is held in Chi
cago. Her reception WAS Of the most cordial,
kindly character, and her efforts to please were
rewarded by the most enthusiastic appreciation.
She acted wisely in choosing for her opening
assumption the role Of Lady Ieazle in sheridans
splendid old comedy, "school for Scandal"
as it is in that character, the standard and
the test Of all female comedy representations:
that Miss Coombs was best and most faYorably

this occasion to repeat what / have said
before, that in giving assistance to ship
wrecked seamen in this ocean, we can at
the best only follow at respectful distance
the alacrity and devotion of the service of
which you are so distinguished a member.
/ am well aware of the good feeling of
the Government and people of the United
States towards this country "a feeling
which fully reciprocate, and / have no
doubt that your stay here viii afford the
opportunity to My people to give further
evidence of the cordiality with which
those in the service of your country are
always welcome here. In the meantime,
l am very glad to see you, Admiral, your
wife and daughter, and the officers who
accompany you"
After some time spent in social CONVEX
sation and inspection of the feather cloaks,
which of course were a matter of great
curiosity to the strangers, His Majesty
invited his guests to sit down to a COLA
ton in the dining-room, where all enjoyed
themselves exceedingly.
The visitors took their departure at
o'clock; His Majesty having accepted the
Admiral's invitation to visit him on board
the Flag Ship to-day at II o'clock.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1872-01-03


THE Minister Resident of the United
States had mentioned to many of his
friends that, upon the arrival of the Cali
fornia, he proposed giving a ball, and as
his residence was so far out of town that
it would not be convenient for many
whom he would wish to see to 90 to his
house, he proposed to borrow the new
hotel. 1t seemed as if this would be an
extensive enterprise in the way of hos
phality, but to our delight and sur
prise, after the arrival of the flagship, we
duly received a card inviting our attend
ance And so, on Friday evening, the
goth nit, we went-we did-and when
we got there we found that the Hotel
was fixed institution, and there was no
doubt about that. There we met His
Excellency, and upon seeing his splen-
didly dressed guests passing and repass-
ING him in the ample corridors and mag
nlfcent hall, he smiling benignly upon
them all, the first thought that came to
mind was "What a pity that our host
didn't live in town, in large palace, and
kept it full of guests all the time, and we
further thought we would volunteer to
visit him often"
The gay uniforms of the naval officers,
not to omit, by any means, the brilliant
new uniforms of His Majesty's Staff and
the more staid uniforms of the volunteer
officers, and the elegant toilet of the la
dies, produced an effect seldom equalled
and never surpassed in this country.
We would like to give a description of
the ladies' toilets, but our jenkins has
gone to California, where he can get
better salary than we are able to pay him,
and the Editor of this paper is quite un-
able to do justice to the subject.
And now we appeal to discriminating
public Isn't the Hotel worth something
Did you ever see over two hundred peo-
pie together before in this country, where
everybody was so cool and comfortable,
and where there was room enough to dis
play all their points? Were not the We
randas wide enough to promenade on 2
And the corridors-were they not comfort
able? Wasn't the hall capacious, large
and airy enough? The dancers, notwith-
standing the continuity of their efforts,
were coo, don't you think one can
sit comfortably there and eat his or her
dinner on a day when it is hot outside
The fact is, the verandas are so spacious
that many of the guests on this occasion
did not notice that there were two bands
of eighteen pieces each, playing alternate
ly on the mauka side.
When supper was announced no one
was jostled for want of room and all the
guests were able to be seated
at the elegant banquet, though some chose
to continue dancing in the room above,
and those who were not told of it could
hear no sound below, so complete is the
structure of the building for the purposes
For ourselves, we have to thank the
Minister for most charming evening, and
for the public we have to thank him for
the good omen which his hospitality has
afforded of the success of the enterprise
Of running a Hotel in Honolulu.
