ment..A Hare Treat,
Last evening the pupils of st.
Louis College gave musical and
dramatic entertainment in the large
hall in the college grounds, and it is
safe to say that it was the best szhi-
bitten ever given by school on
these islands. The audience was a
large one, filling the building in
every part. The floral decorations
on either side of the stage were
quite unique, while the pillars we're
festooncd with evergreens. They
were the work of Mrs. w. l.. vii
cox. Among those present we're,
Her Majesty the Queen, with
Mr.. James w. Robertson, Vice.
Chamberlain, and Mrs. Robertson,
in attendance, II. Il. ii. Prih-
cess Liliuokalani, Prince Kalaniana-
ole, Hon. a. 5. Cleghorn, His Elk
cellency the Minister of Interior and
Mrs. Thurston, Hon. Paul Neu-
mann, Right Reverend the Bishop of
OIba, Capt. John Ross, Major
Seward, Mr.. w. w. Hall, Mrs.
Walter Hill, Mr., and Mrs. T. r.
Lucas, Mr.. and Mrs. 4. A. Lloyd,
DR.. Rowat, the Misses Zoe and May
Atkinson, MIR. and Mrs. Henry Da-
Wis, Mr.. and Mrs. Wray Taylor, Mr..
Robt. More, Miss Copeland, Mr..

Ii. Berger, Mr.. and Mrs. j. w.
Mcdonald, Mrs. ID. Lyons, etc.
The programme opened sharp at
1880 O'Clock with an overture
"Lutspiel," beautifully played by
the College orchestra under the di-
rection of Brother Albert. II is
most enjoyable to sit and listen
TO the playing of the boys, there is
SO much merit in it, and their Sc
lections are such as to bring out
the various instruments. Later on
they gave the Diamond" overture
and Farewell" march with much
taste and expression. The comic
opera "Poor Henry" in two acts,
was most amusing, and great care
had been bestowed in its prepara
ton. The part of Poor Henry was
taken by Master Eli Jones and the
little fellow carried it through in
fine style. His singing was excel
lent and his lines were heard quite
distinctly. a brighter boy could
not have been chosen for the part.
w. Cuelho,as the schoolmaster, was
exceedingly good and the same may
be said of w. +. kaae as the assist.
ant. The music to the opera is
pretty and was accompanied on the
piano with admirable skill by Bro.
Francis. The minor parts in the
opera we're all well sustained. AS
the curtain fell on the second act
the performers were awarded pro-
prolonged applause.
After the first act II. Bertelmann
played flute solo in very accom-
plshed manner. VIM. Cuelho's
clarionct solo proved him to be an
excellent performer on that instru-
ment. His tones we're true. The
College Choir rendered two choruses,
the first, A. B. c., being somewhat
difficult on account of the rapid pro-
nunciation of the letters OF the al
phabct, which it calls for. But the
boys overcame the difficulty and it
pleased the audience very much.
The Gloria, from Mozart's twelfth
Mass, was fine vocal effort on the
part of the choir. 1t was sung with
, precision, and there was full vol
ume of tone.
The comic solo and chorus "Dot
leetle German band" kept the au-
, dience in one continual roar OF
laughter from beginning to end.
William Cuelho was immense
as the leader of the band, and
and it is only our limited space that
3 prevents US giving more particulars
of this piece. The farce "Slippery
Day." was most amusing. Jane:
Lloyd as Sharp the lawyer, and A
Fernandez as Crspin the shoe
maker, were splendid in their parts
The other characters were ably sus
tanned.
To Brother Bertram, the able di
y rector OF the school, much credit i!
Z, due for the arrangements which
" were perfect in every respect
Father Leonor in his usual gena
manner welcomed those who attend
: ed and saw that they were comfort
: ably seated. Brother Albert abb,
