The MakaDaIa School Concert
4 Big Success,

The Malapala School concert on the
evening Of April lst was a great sue
cess. 1t was held in tie commodious
skating rink, and hall and platform
were literally embellished with foil
age of fern and leaf, and frightened
with coloring of flower, and festooned
with trailing drapery of vine.
The large public school which under
the competent tuition of the principal,
Miss Hoppin, and her co-wOrkers,
Miss Powers and Mrs. Hussey, has at
tanned such a high degree of excel
lence, were seated in orderly lines to
the right, their faces bright with in
telligence and their eyes asparkle with
excitement.
The school choruses, conducted by
Miss Hoppin and Miss Powers, showed
careful training. The movements of
the scholars were all to the sound OF
music from the skilled fingers OF Miss
Lampman, of the Seminary, the
marching to and from the stage being
quite feature Of the exercises.
| 1UeIe were bSii iAiCfC
ments by the little ones, of which the
most delightful was perhaps that
! called "The Fishes.n There was
charming glee by the boys Glee Club
with MARBLE accompaniment that took
| the audience by storm. And there
were many beautiful choruses by the
| higher classes, of which the very best
was "Liko pua Lehua." This was the
| best thing of the evening, the COM
pass of the voices, the careful mOdula-
| ton, the sweet, full harmOnies being
really remarkable. Curiously enough,
| it was the only event not applauded.
Mr.. Hussey with his violin accom-
panied many of the chOruSeS and other
| selections.
Miss Powers, Mrs. Hussey and Mrs.
Shaw appeared in several duets, trlos
and auartettes, and their cultivated
voices had full scope to exhibit their
varied charms. They were encored
again and again. Messrs. Naipo,
| Hussey, Smith and Nahale appeared
in male quartettes as well as in selec-
tions for mixed voices. They sang in
a most satisfactory manner through
out. In the humorous quartette, en-
titled "Who Did?" they brought
down tho house.
A beautiful quintette, "Maikai Wal
pio," written by the talented Hawaii
an composer eX-Queen LiliuOkalani,
formed a delightful close to varied
entertainment whose memory Will
linger long with those fortunate
enough to be there.
The whole affair reflects the highest
credit on all connected with it, and it
gives the public some opportunity OF
Judging of the splendid work done by
Miss Hoppin, Miss Powers and Mrs.
Hussey in the Makapala school.
The Hawaiian Railway as also AL
len q Robinson's schooners are quite
busy these days carrying sugar from
the various mills on the way to the
marts of the world. Multi Mill is
not grinding at present. Their new
process for making white sugar is not
working quite as effectually just yet
as it will no doubt after little eXper-
fence has been gained in manipula-
ton. Before long we hope to hear Of
it's product comparing favorably with
similar sugars from any part of the
world.
An Kohala is glad to hear that Mr.

He comes with bright prospects ant

one of the very best equipped planta
tons in the islands.
On Easter Sunday in this land o
flowers, the churches were lavish,
decorated with foliage and bloom
and audiences were treated to excep
tionally good sermons, rich Will
learning and radiant with hope.
This is the pleasant springtim
: when the flowers bloom and the bird
build their nests and all nature
} filled with the promise of fruition
/ and the hearts of youth are turned to
: wards the harvesting of their fancies
: and already there is in the air the dis
tant Ginning of the golden weddin
bells.
1 The weather is unsettled. Hig
trades are blowing, and there ar
! frequent dashes of rain.
