THE Messrs. Kohler have reason to feel gratifed
at the fashionable character of the patronage they
have received during the week. They advertise q
matinee for this afternoon at half-past two O'Clock.
which will, no doubt, be largely attended by the
yonng folks of Honolulu, for whom the exhibition
possesses many points of attraction, and who
should give their mammas no peace until they
have seen it. Mr.. Kohler's performances con tinue
to delight all lovers of music who frequent the
show. His judgment in the choice of pieces which
suit his instruments is equal to his skill in their
management. Throughout the week the monograph
has created surprise by the wonderfully natural
manner In which 1t repeats whatever said to 1t.
The electric youth comes in for his share of wonder
and creates great amusement. How he does it is 3
puzzle to all.

'THFRE have been fair attendanees at the ex-
hibition and concert at the Music Hall, but by no
means as good a one as the merits of the show and
of thsamusic 10 be heard there deserve. This enter
tainnient il not a pretentiOus one, but it is well
worthy of public patronage. The wax figures
have been artistically disposed and give the Hall
quite a lively appearance. The stage is devoted
to a scene from the strange story Of Australian
-DuSil GIN OiC VA III CHiSOuCS III VIC SGICCI
of Ned Kelly's gang. In the centre of the hall, on
a pedestal stands q fine figure of King John Of Eng
land in a gilded coat of mail. Figures of the chief
personages of the present day in America and the
old World are disposed round the room. Recent
history is illustrated by a lifelike figure of Arab
Pasha. Near the stage are figures, male and fe-
male abOrigines of Australia, remarkably we'll ex-
ecuted. One of the chief features of the entertain
ment is the elder Kohler's performances on the
French hageolet and the ocarina. Such execution
is not often heard by a Honolulu audience, indeed
it is seldom excelled anywhere. I
IT is pleasant to see the improvements which are
being made in Emma Square. They have long
been much wanted. For some time past the place
has been left TO the mercy of an ignorant care
taker under whose management it was going to
utter ruin. The seats had all become more or
less dilapidated, every water tap in the placesas
broken, and the destruction and injury of plants
through ignorance and want of care has been most
serious. The finest tree in the place a PoncianG
reqia, which stood beside the arbor, was, some little
time ago, sold for frewood-in that case some
thing worse than ignorance or carelessness must
be laid to the account of the man who committee
the outrage. The palms appear to have suffered
most, many Of them having died and a number of
those left being in such a condition that theiE-re-4
covery is d doubtful. Since the control Of the place
was given to Hon. A. s. Cleghorn, some active
work has been done. The seats have been repaired,
new water faucets fixed, and pipes have been laid
so that the carriage drive round the Square can
be properly watered-a very important improve
ment. The earth, which, for some unknown rea-
son. had been removed from around the young
trees and palms has been replaced, and a general
trimming of trees and plants about the place has
been going on. Altogether there is promise of bet
ter days for this much frequented public garden.
