ANOTHER SUCCESS.
The Opera House Crowded on Sat
= urday Night
For the Benefit of the New
Church Organ.

benefit of the organ fund of the
Central Union Church drew large
audience to the Opera House on
Saturday night. Every seat was
sold and there was an extensive
demand for chairs. After an over
ture by the Royal Hawaiian Band,
under the able leadership of Prof.
Berger, the Misses Young opened
the vocal part of the programme
most auspiciously with a charming
rendering of Kucken's 90 Swallow,
Happy Swallow" which elected a
burst of well-earned applause
later, Miss Bertha Young sang the
"Flower Girl" by Bevigani. DIR.
H. S. Williams is a stranger in
Honolulu, whose acquaintance
every music lover was delighted to
make Saturday night. He is the
possessor of a cultivated baritone
voice, and scored hit with
Governs cit was a Dream" fol-
lowed by Mattei's "Hearest Thou"
as an encore.
Honolulu audiences are always
keen to hear Miss Dale, and they
certainly had no cause for disap-
pointment. Miss Dale has never
sung in public in a duo before,
and the number "When thou art
near me" by Abt, in which she ap-
peared with Mr.. Williams, was,
perhaps, the gem of the evening,
the voices blending most beauti-
fully. The solo, "Heaven hath
shed tear" with flute obligato by
George III. Paris, was exquisitely
rendered. In response to prolonged
applause, Miss Dale sang the we'll
known serenade, Good night, good
night, beloved" The music by
Ethelbert w. Nevin, one of Amer
ica's most promising young COM
posers, is far more beautiful than
the commonly sung version by
Balfe, but has never, I believe, been
heard in Honolulu before Miss
Dale gave this tender and passion
ate serenade most suspicious in
PRODUCTION to Honolulu art lovers.
The second part of the pro-
gramme consisted chiefly of an ex-
hibition of Indian views, which
with the interesting and often
witty running commentary of
the Hon. Mr.. Marsden, were en-
joyed to the full. In connection
with a view of Lucknow, Mr.. G. G.
Potter gave a spirited rendering
of Tennyson's poem commemorate
ing the trying days of the famous
siege. The entertainment closed
with an exhibition of Scotch and
Hawaiian views with statuary,
and was voted most successful
by all present. The greatest
thanks are due to Mr.. Young and
his family for their untiring efforts
in behalf of the affair, to Mr..
Marsden, and to the singers and
others who devoted so much valu-
able time and labor to the chart
table cause. The following is the
