TOE GLEE CLUB IN HILO.

The last concer in the summer
tour of Oahu College Glee Club was
given in the Hilo Court House,
Tuesday evening. The programme,
for the most part, was the same as
that given at the other concerts.
Owing to the illness of Miss Wing,
the quartette 'Miller's Wooing" was
omitted, Mr.. Jaeger singing instead.
Miss Dale took the place of Miss
Fleming in two numbers. The
selections were good and we'll re-
ceived.
The great feature of the concert
was the singing of Miss Dale We
had been led to expect great things
from her because of frequent and
unstinted praise from Honolulu.
Our highest hopes were realized.
Everyone was delighted with her
singing.
It is a rare treat to hear a pure
soprano in this place, and perhaps,
on this account, we might be said to
over estimate, but we modestly hold
the opinion that Miss Dale would
rank high as concert singer any
where.
Her selections were excellent and
their rendering charming. Her
readiness TO respond to the numer-
Gus recalls, together with her evil
dent desire to "make things go"
where the boys were concerned were
fully appreciated. Opinions vary
as to the selection which most
pleased Some preferred "Tell Me
Beautiful Maiden" Others thine
eyes so blue and tender" The latter
was not as heartily applauded as
some of her other songs, but that
was due to the fact that Miss Dale
had already sung eight times, be-
sides playing several accompani-
ments, and we did not want to abuse
her good nature. But we were none
the less pleased to have her respond
with Coming thro' the rye"
Her rendering of "Aloha Oe' de-
lighted everyone, especially the ma
tive element. Her ability as a
teacher was plainly shown in the
marked improvement in the voices
with which we are familiar, and also
in the singing of the soloists. Miss
Wings accomplishments were fine
We regret that she had no better in.
strument.
Mr.. Hayselden was especially well
received, his singing of "Kspila'
being very good. His voice is of ex
cellent quality and already gives
evidence of careful training.
MIR. Lyman did we'll in the three
selections in which he was promin
ent. His solo, "Anchored," brought
him an encore. One year ha:
wrought great change for the bet
ter in his voice and singing, but g
certain monotony and lack of life
was noted which requires his careful
attention.
Mr.. Jaeger surprised us with his
,, big bass voice in his solo. His low
notes seemed much lower than they
, really were, so that f sounded as il
it were d or G.

The Glee Club reflects credit upon
