Miss Nellie Holbrook, one of the members Of the CAL
ifornia Theatre Company, who performed at the Roy
al Hawaiian Theatre during last summer, and they
tie with our people both on and OF the stage. The
following clipped from the fila regarding her speaks
for itself: "There is probably no person better
known, both on and of the stage. in this city, than
Nellie Holbrook. For ten years past on all occasions
of charity where assistance has been needed by hand
or voice, her services had been given gratis and with
pleasure. For the past year Miss Holbrook has been
making rapid strides in the dramatic profession, aud
of late has been studying the most difficult part in
the language, that Of Hamlet. On Saturday evening,
the 3lst inst, she proposes at the Baldwin Theatre,
to give her array Of friends her conception of the
melancholy Dane"

Is now said to be fact that General Garfield did
not vote that day, although he had previously
spoken upon the bill, and also that he was absent
from tho city that day--JGnuary 28-in Ohio and

The inaugural Hnn,

Application has already been made for per-
mission to hold the inaugural ball in the Ma
tional Museum building Professor Baird
secretary of tho Smithsonian institution, is
quoted by tho New York TriJ me as saying
hat he thinks it probable that the regents
would be unwilling to grant the anplcatio II
without the sanction of congress. Even if the
consent of congress should be obtained, he
said it would be necessary for that body
promptly TO pass very early in tho session a
bill to appropriate n sufficient sum TO finish
the floor df the building.
Already cases are being placed in one of the
sections, aud it is expected that the articles
comprising tho American fish exhibit at
Berlin last summer will soon be permanently
arranged in the places which they aro
designed to occupy. Some other departments
Of tho museum it is also expected to have
arranged for exhibition and study in tho
course of tho next three or four months.
Professor Baird says that even if the build.
ing should bo used for the inaugural ball
the partial occupation OF it by the museum at
the same time would not greatly interfere, us
there would remain ample space and conven-
fences.
