t3s- The Hawaiian Amateur Minstrel Troupe
gave entertainment at the Royal Hawaiian
Theatre on Saturday evening last, to very fair
house. The entertainment was well sustained
throughout, aud afforded the audience lots of
amusement. The quartette, mill Hal Pua," by
Messrs, Williams, MOlaka, kama aud Hiram was
particularly ine aud encored. The instru-
mental music throughout was excellent, and the
double jig," by Messrs. Lyall aud Ryan as usual,
WIS we'll done. We would suggest TO the vocalisis
in the troupe to let out their voices more that is
pitch them a higher key, and the effect will be
much better aud more satisfactory to the audience
All the amateurs want is more practice and more
confidence in themselves TO make good performers

ing. Our short hand reporter being present took
