TIE CONCERT AT KAwAIAHAo.-A large au-
dience assembled on Friday evening last to hear
the concert Of vocal music by the choirs Of Ka-
waahao and Manoa, under the direction Of the
Hon. Mrs. Domns. A broad platform was erect
ed 10 front Of the pulpit for the singers and the
piano The singing throughout was excellent.
but the place is entirely untitled to secure any
thing like the proper effect Of the voice-ndeed
it was like singing in great barn. While all the
voices were good. and eyiuced considerable train
ing. the different pieces were executed with almost
faultless precision and time. The trio between
the Hon Mrs Domins. Mrs. Cleghorn, and Miss
Kapoli, was particularly fine. The Kings Band
under the direction Of Mr.. Berger, the recently
arrived band-master performed tive pieces of mu-
sic. which. though they might have been done
better gave evidence that the men are improving.
But the feature Of the evening was undoubtedly
the singing Of Miss Julia Walanika, the Ha-
waiian prodigy" as we have heard her styled.
She certainly possesses voice Of wonderful COM
pass and hexibility as well as sweetness. passing
apparently without an effort from mans alto TO
the highest notes of the soprano. Such a voice
IN Europe with an education, would ensure for
