been announce sometime ago that the Kinder.
Symphonic, an eccentric and amusing medley Of
music and nonsense would be performed on this
occasion and a good deal Of curiosity about it
had been aroused. 1t was listened to with at
tention but the general opinion seemed to be
that the music Of the piece Il not animated
enough 10 give character to the eXcentuclues
which form its special features. The piece, how
ever, has many merits and was u novelty. Its
introduction into the programme was, therefore,
a happy thought, more especially a II brought
before the audience a trOup Of lovely girls, whose
presence was itself q delight, through which the
music found an added charm.
II had been hoped that His Majesty the King
would be present and il was intended TO greet
him on his arrival with the following
song OF WELCOME.
Welcome to thee, o King,
With heart snd voice We sing;
Through the wide earth,
Welcome, 10 native lsnd.
Bright skies and coral strand.
Hawalls mountains grand.
Lsnd Of thy birth.
May He who guided thee
Safely DER land and sea.
still keep and shelter thee
Under His wing.
Grant thee a hsppy reign,
Freedom from strife and Pain,
Friends TO ring out the strain,
God Save the King
for which appropriate music had been composed
by Mr.. Wray Taylor. \ previous engagement
however, obliged him TO decline the invitation
Of the managers Of the concert, and when His
Majesty entered the Royal Box, just before the
performance OF the Kinder-Symphonie, the COM
mittee appear to have assumed that he desired
his visit to be private. The audience evidently
expected that the National Anthem would be
sung or played at the close of the proceedings,
but as this had not been arranged for beforehand
1t was found impossible to imProyise. We may
take this opportunity Of suggesting that-as IN
other lands-whether members OF the Royal Fam
lily are present or not. all entertainments Of this
character shOuld conclude viii the National An
them. Had there been even a fugleman on
Monday evening, the audience would, we are
sure, have joined enthusiastically in singing Ha-
waii Ponoi.
