Duet ......... I've Wandered in Dreams"
The Misses Won Holt
The piano duet was capitally played
by the Misses Young. Mr.. Jackson
rendered his song with much taste, and
was encored, as was also Mr.. jerks, the
| next singer. Mr.. Crozier's flute solo
was we'll played, but he did not respond
to an encore. Mr.. Swanzy, who pos
sesses an excellent baritone voice, was
heard to much advantage in his song,
and an encore was demanded, but not re-
sponded to. We hope he may be heard
more frequently in public than of late.
The violin solo, "Blue Bells of Scotland"
with variations, by Mr.. Guild, was
pleasant surprise. He is not second
Paganini, but he draws capital tone
from his instrument with scarcely any
trouble. When it is taken into cOnsid-
Grafton the nature of his work and the
little time he has for practice, his play
ing last evening was really credit to
him. He was encored, and responded
Mr.. Holdsworth created much amuse-
ment with comic song, and was COM
PEELED to sing again. The next number,
"My Queen,'' by Miss Bertha Won Holt,
was without doubt the gem of the even
ing. This talented singer delighted all
with her charming vocaliZation, and was
most enthusiastically recalled, and re-
sponded. Her sister, Miss Marie, played
the accompaniment. Mr.. Rosewarne
sang "Forty Years Ago." and being en-
cored, gave a coming song, which "took''
with the audience. Mr. Davies sang in
capital style 'Nothing Else To Do" and
could not get out of responding to an en-
core. A duet by the Misses Won Holt
was sweetly rendered and encored.
They responded, and were both pre-
scented with bouquets. The accompani-
ments during the evening were played
by Mrs T. B. Walker, Miss Young and
Mr.. Heydtmann.
Mr. Davies then made few remarks.
Before leaving for England, he said, he
wanted to be face to face with his asso-
ciates of the Iron Works outside of work
hours. He wished them to understand
they were all interested in the industry
and progress of this country; they were,
as ST. Paul said, 'tcitizens in no mean
CITY," They had the credit OF the me-
chanics of Honolulu, and that ought to
be an impulse to them. He asked them
to be brave and strong, and resist all
temptation which surrounded them.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Davies. re-
marks, the portly form of H. J. Hart
made it's appearance at the head of the
stairs, and soon a most bountiful supply
of refreshments, sandwiches, ice cream,
cake, etc., were handed around and en-
joyed by all.
The entertainment was an entire sue
cess throughout.
