A TENNYSON EVENING AT
PAJ4.
Annexation Meetings In WaiIuku
and Hamakuapoko.

ing OF the Makawao Literary So
ciety, at the residence Of Mr.. anC
Mrs. w. Ogg of Paia. All the in.
teresting events of the programme
were in eulogy of the late poet lau
reate of England, Lord Tennyson
The opening number was pleas
ing vocal solo, "Crossing the Bar
by Mr.. III. Laws. Then followed q
graphic resume Of the life and char.
acteristics of the poet by Rev. T
l.. Gulick. The piano solo by Miss
Lottie Alexander seemed to-delight
the audience much. The recitation
by Miss Mossman of the verse re-
lating to Lord Ronald and Lady
Clare also gave pleasure to her
hearers.
BY some error In arrangement of
the literary schedule two vocal
pieces came in succession-the solo
Late, Late, so Late?" by Mr.. Lind
sey and the quartet, "Sweet and
Low" by Messrs. Dickey, Laws,
Lindsey and G.. Baldwin. The re-
manning events on the list were
series of beautiful tableaux. Scenes
from Enoch Arden-Annie, Enoch
and Phillip playing in boat on
the beach the two boys quarreling
over the little wife; the marriage
ceremony between Annie and En-
och; the despair of Annie after
waiting ten weary years for the re-
turn of her husband and last
wretched Enoch gazing through
the window upon the happiness of
Phillip and Annie.
Then some of the beautiful be-
ings mentioned by Tennyson in his
Dream of Fair Women" were to
be seen through the gauze curtain
under the glare of different colored
lights. Their names as history
gives them are "Helen of Troy"
Iphigenia," CLEOPATRA" "Jep- |
tha's Daughter" Rosamond" and |
" Joan of Arc" The ladies taking
part in these charming representa-
tions were Mesdames Laws and B.
ID. Baldwin, Misses Campbell, Greg
DRY, Mossman and Dickey. 1t took
two ludicrous acts to properly por-
tray the tiny poem of skipping
Rope" In act one a dudish ad-
mirer speaks the opening lines to
gay girl who skips with a rope to
and fro across the stage; she, finally
throwing the rope at him, bids him
hang himself with it.
In scene two the lover is revealed
from the ceiling with the
saucy girl in tears at his feet. This
little sketch was humorousIy rem
dered by Miss Mossman and Mr..
and occasioned much mer-
riment. The guests hcIneward
bound had the benefit of cool at
and brilliant moon.
