Entertainment TO the Crew of H. B
VI. s. Caroline.

Last evening at the Y. NJ. G.. A. Hall
an entertainment was given to the crew
| OF ii. B. NJ. S. Caroline. The hall was
filled in every part by an audience who
took much interest in the proceedings.
Major Wodehouse, IL. B. MS Commits
sioner; Sir William Wiseman, Bart,
and number of the officers and men
from the Caroline were present
Mr.. Theo. III. Davies, the British Vice
Consul, had charge of the programme,
and capital one it was, too. 1t opened
with an address of welcome by Mr..
Davies. On behalf OF the Association he
extended a cordial welcome to their
naval guests of H. B. NJ S. Caroline.
He Iikened the programme to a pot of
jam and asked the audience to look at
1t and they would find two pills in the
jam. These two pills were two addresses
by two Welsh gentlemen-himself and
Mr.. Jones. They were only allowed five
minutes time, SO would not do much
mischief. Mr.. Davies announced that
owing to an expected domestic aff1iction
Mrs. Patty would be unable to be pres

Mrs. Hanford's piano solo was CAPT
tally rendered. Mr.. Starkey sang '"The
Death of Nelson" in very acceptable
manner, and was compelled to respond
to an encore. He then gave ''My Pretty
Jane" Miss Bertha Won Holt received
quite an ovation when she came forward
to sing FGoing to Market" Her beauti-
full and we'll trained voice was never
heard to better advantage, and an en-
core was insisted upon. She responded
with another song, exquisitely rendered. |
The accompaniment were lastly played |
by Miss Marie Won Holt. Both ladies
received bouquets. Miss Paris caused !
much amusement with her recitation,
and had to repeat it. Mr.. 2. @. Jones |
made a very humorous address. He |
said he was called upon, not because of
his oratorical powers, but on account Of
his shape He was an American, but |
looked like an Englishman. The name |
Caroline suggested one little incident in
his life. When young man he loved /
girl by the name of Caroline, but some |
other fellow got ahead of him, and he |
came out to the Sandwich Islands. In |
conclusion, he recited verse from one
Of the poets. The first part of the pro-
gramme was ended by Mr.. Theo. H t
Davies singing song in his usual well |
known style, Mrs. T. r. Walker playing
the accompaniment on the piano. Mr.
Davies was recalled, and responded.
The second part Of the programme
opened with recitation, "Roger and
l." given with much dramatic feeling,
by Sir William Wiseman. He was
to acknowledge an en-
core, and gave a Scotch recitation.
Then followed number of songs by
the crew, all of which were capitally
rendered Refreshments were served
and all went home highly pleased with
the evenings entertainment.
