as accompanies.
The opening numbers on the
organ by Mr.. Wray Taylor, as we'll
as his solo, "Ofertoire in F. were
rendered in the usual careful and
painstaking style which character
ICES that gentleman's playing. The
loud applause with which each Of
Mr.. Taylor's performances was
greeted testified to the pleasure
which the audience felt on hearing
his fine handling of'the greatest Of
all musical instruments.
In his first solo, La Serenata,D
Mr.. H. L. Manning, of H. NJ. S.
Hyacinth, gave the audience a rare
treat. 1t is seldom that Honolulu
people have heard a sweeter and
purer tenor voice than his, and,
after the first few notes of his
song, those who had not heard
him previously in the cathedral
awoke to the fact. Such was the case
and they settled down to thorough
ly enjoy themselves. His second
solo, Whisper and 1 Shall Hear
with violin obligato by Mr.. Rosen,
was even more loudly applauded
han the first and the gentleman
vas forced to respond to an encore.
The pretty duet, 20, that we
.wo were maying," by Mrs. z. d.
renney and Mr.. Manning may be
iet down as the most successful
)iece Of the evening. 1t is seldom
hat two such voices are heard in
concert in Honolulu, and it is to
,e regretted that they cannot be
ieard oftener. Atthe conclusion
f the ballad, the applause was so
,reat that the performers were
compelled to respond with another
ong.
The trio and quartette playing
f Messrs. Rosen, Breith, Wall and
larques was one of the main feat
res Of the concert and their efforts
1ere much appreciated, though
many in the audience would ike
D have heard them in lighter
music.
We must not forget to mention
be organ solo Of DR.. II. E. South
the Hyaeinth. That and his ac-
on the piano showed
i'm to be a master Vf both instru-
tents.
Taken as a whole, where every
umber was good, the concert was
grand success, and Mr.. Taylor
-ay congratulate himself on hav-
g given one Of the best concerts
'er heard in Honolulu.
