BEnowis tn resolution passed on Monday, in fav-

expressing their respect and confidence in His Ex
cellency S. G. Wilder, Minister of the Interior ;

The Montague concert at Kawaiahao Church was
marked success, In spite OF the heavy RAIN Miss
Montague was assisted by Mr.. Chas. H. Turner,
! who made his debut on that occasion before Ho-
nolulu audience, Miss Sarah Z. King Professor
Berger, Mr.. Heinsen and others. The programme
! was well selected one, and its rendition would
/ have given pleasure to the most fastidous. Miss
Montague gave even more pleasure than at her first
I concert. and exhibited greater range and power
than she then indicated. Her voice, in the cava-
tina from Ernani was particularly fine; the inter-
probation of her part in Lucia was something new,
| and very fine. If ANYTHING more bird-like and
delicate than the delightful little notes thrown in
\ as her answer TO the lnpaSSl0neQ tones OF ner
companion can be produced, we have yet TO hear
/ 1t. The prayer and cavatina from Sonambula was
most eXquisitely rendered, Miss Montague's voice
4 all through lmpressing one as exceedingly rich and
pure. While she sang the listener could not but
rise in spirit into higher and nobler atmosphere.
/ The encore, . cannot sing the old songs, was so
4 sung as TO bring unbidden tears into the eyes of
many. One Is impressed to remarkable degree
with the idea of a large reserved power in Miss
/ Montague, yet she has ample for everything she
/ gives. Mr.. Turner's reputation had preceded him,
yet probably no one expected quite so much. he
sings very finely, and his voice is not only well
cultivated and sympathetic. but very powerful.
When he struck high note and let out his voice the
great building rang with the sound He was
greeted with very hearty applause. Miss KING dld
herself credit, and gave the audience pleasure by
her sweet rendering of her part. Mr.. Cooke car
I ried his part with strength and frmness. The in
strumental music by Messrs Berger, Heinsen and
Naone, was worthy of praise from any point.
THE annual exhibition of Fort Street School was
given at the Lyceum on Friday evening. Several
pieces pathetic and comic were very well rendered
and three piano duets admirably played. In addi-
tion to these most capital operetta appar-
emily constructed the lines of 81. NJ. S. Pima
fore and including great variety of airs from
great variety of sources, and most amusing farce
concluded the performances. Where all did so
we'll it becomes difficult to pick out names for
special commendation, but we cannot refrain from
mentioning Miss Susie Comfy for ber admirable
singing and acting in High Life" Among the
youths Edward Dowsett was particularly good in
both acted pieces, and was adjudged the prize for
elocution for the very excellent style which he
gave the difficult and exquisitely pathetic poem
entitled the Night Watch" We must also spe-
ci2lly praise Robert BOYD for his fine rendering OF
the " Raven" Among the juniors too there was no
lacl; of talent training BERTHE Mist fairly brought
down the house. The thanks of the pupils and
their friends are especially due to Miss Mossman
who took part in two duets and played very pret-
tily the whole accompaniment TO High Life. y
We most heartily congratulate the Principal on
his well earned success and wish him very plea
SAINT holiday after the arduous labors of the past
term.
