ENTERTAINMENT.

This Journal has a reporter who
takes special pride in reporting the
entertainments given by the Literary
and Musical people of Hilo, The
three hundredth performance was
given on the DIST inst. at the usual
place and was fully up to any enter
tainment gotten up in some time.
Mr.. and Mrs. IL. G. Austin were the
getters up of it showing their great
interest and tact in catering for the
attendants of these meeting.
Miss Severance and Miss Porter
opened the entertainment by playing
a superb selection on the piano in
truly mastery manner. Then fol-
lowed a reading by Mr., Z. f.
Richards, who knows full well how
to select side,spIltting stories. A
vocal solo was given by Mrs. Glib
who always selects with great care
and sings the same way always ac-
ceptably.
Recitation, MIR. II. c. Austin, very
excellent. Piano solo, Miss Curtis,
who 50 lately came to Hilo from San
Francisco, u splendid performer who
has great ability, whose touch is
perfection. We greet her with
pleasure in our society. Reading,
Miss Severance exceeding well read,
giving full justice to her selection.
Flute and piano duet, Miss Porter
and Mr.. Nape, an artistic selection
and very pleasing.
Recitation, Doctor Virgins. Well,
it was spIendidly rendered-artisti-
cally is the only word-was encored
from pit to dome, and he gave
another recitation equally pleasing
He seems TO have become necessary
to our happiness. We would not
know where to find his equal in our
line, of gentlemen, but can dc it
among the other sex nearly, if not
quite.
Duet, guitar and either, Miss Rose
and Mr.. Nape, who have favored us
many times and always to our most
entire satisfaction. The entertain
ment closed with series OF beautiful
tabeauX, which showed marked taste
in the getting up. Everyone was
delighted as is always the case.
WANTED A RAILROAD.
Last week there were over q 900
bags sugar piled up at plantation
near Ililo, awaiting transportation.
Oh, for a railroad to bring it to Hilo
and ship it to California. We will
have to call on that enterprising gen
tleman, B. f. Dillingham;, to build
the road. Save money, save time,
save sugar, save boats, save anchors,
and interest on money. Build the
road, move lively, show vitality.
On 21st inst. the wind blew great
guns at Hilo. Said | to myself, and
to others: "What would we do if
fire should break out where the
buildings are the thickest? The
whole town would be in ashes in a
short time" No means to put out
fires. Shut the doors when the horse
has escaped. So it is here. No one
seems to realize the danger we may
be in at any time. 1t seems to me
that fire insurance would be high
here as there is no protection.
THE VOLCANO.
On Sunday the Kinau brought 10
passengers for the Volcano. Part of
them went in Wilson's carriages the
same day, the balance on Monday,
to see our great crater. We should
see more coming. They must come
before long, when they learn how ac-
cessible the crater is, and what a
grand sight it IS, the wonder of the
world truly.
HilO has now two hotels. The one
called HiIO Hotel is a new building
with spacious veranda. The other
is kept by Hon. d. II. Hitchcock.
Both are on the main street.
The weather has been quite cool
and dry for some time; the ocean
rough, SO that 1t is impossible to load
or discharge vessels.
Preparations are now being made
to put down the water pipes TO in
jroduce the water that is clear and
pure as any Oh these islands.
A church sociable was held at the
house of the Pastor of First Foreign
Church on oath inst. Evening o.
cupied in conversation mostly.
Hlo Chinese restaurants beat the
world for cheapness. A man and
two dogs can get a meal for 25cts.
HiIo is just now in these cold days
blessed in having gentleman by the
name of DR.. Winter, an artist den
fist, a man with a soul who does not
charge exorbtant prices.
