Rev. A. w. Burt. Principal of Hilo
Boarding School conceived the idea of
giving the very beautiful composition of
Geo. F. Root entitled the "Cantata of
Esther" instead of the usual exercises
at Hall church given at the close of the
term each year. He and his good lady
have labored hard in getting up this en-
tertainment given at Hail church on the
25th inst. before crowded house. All
were dressed in character very appro-
priately and much taste was displayed,
in getting up the whole entertainment
from the beginning to the end.> There
were no errors, although some might
have been expected, as there were not
enough rehearsals to be certain that all
would 90 smoothly. Certainly. all who
assisted at this splendid treat deserve
praise; and the getter-up, Mr.. A.
w. Burt, deserves a special note OF
thanks, and has shown himself equal to
the emergency. OF course, the history of
Esther is familiar to all those who are
readers of the. Bible, and it will pay
anyone to read her history who have
never done so. The characters are King
