ANNIVERSARY EXERCISES.


their presence. The assemblage
was said TO be considerably larger
than that of last year. The musical
exercises in the parlors of the domes-
tic hall by the Glee Club were excel
lent. The club consists of six young
men and eight ladies. Every piece
sung and played was heard with rapt
attention by the large crowd of
spectators filling the rooms and en-
frances. 1t would be doing injus-
tice to the singers and players on
the piano to say less than that their
performances we're exquisitely fine,
affording veritable feast of music.

Professors, students and specta-
tors then moved into the main room
of the college building, where, after
few minutes, nearly every seat
was occupied. The exercises here
consisted of defamation, recitation
and reading Of compositions. After
an opening chorus, "Sweet and
Low" by the Glee Club, E. E.
Mossman took the platform and
gave defamation on the Ruins of
Time-a very creditable effort.
Then came beautiful essay, listen
ed to with breathless attention, on
the Fairies of Mauna Kea by Lillian
LYMAN. A composition on the APP
| plication of Electricity, by Walter
Dole, was read by Kate Rogers, the
writer being absent on account of
sickness. The telephone and cleo
trio light were the improvements
chiefly discussed. Honolulu was
stated to have one telephone to
every forty inhabitants, being ex-
ceeded in respect of telephone &C
commodation by only one city, in
the United States, having one to
every twenty-four. Next came little
Nettie in the Prison, prettily recited
by Hattie Forbes. An interesting
essay ON Tour through England,
was read by Aimee Mossman. Ira
vellers' chief points of observation
were intelligently noted. Arthur
Brown gave defamation on Tact
and Talent, delivered in a clear and
forcible manner. Hawaiian Antiqui-
ties was the subject of splendid
composition read by Maria Forbes.
This paper contained some very in.
teresting accounts of customs and
traditions of the olden time among
the Hawaiians. Horace Chamber
lain's defamation, "The Relief OF
Leyden," real word painting by
an able writer, of one Of the mos
thrilling events in European history
was delivered in good oratorica
style. May Dilllngham's compo
sition, headed by the motto,-"To
day we fashion destiny, Our web O.
Fate we spin," was q brilliant effort
to which the reading did ample jus
tice. The extensive grasp of TIT
Imagination and humorous loca
hits in this essay brought down thu
house in repeated outbursts o
merriment. Addie Peterson's essa,
on Classical Allusions gave evidence
of frequent communings with tn
great minds of poetic literature, a
well as an intelligent appreciation o
their excellencies. Emma Rentol
recited grand eulogium on tn
Power of Christianity. The younI
lady voiced the spirit of the words i
rich, and finely modulated tones
: A chorus by the school, TIL
Sweet Briar Rose" closed the pre-
gramme. Professor Merritt ah
, nounced that half an hour is devoted
twice in each week, by the Who'll
school to Free-hand drawing. Speci
