THE CONCERT.
KAUMAKAPILI CHURCH WELL
FILL ED LAST NIGHT.

Kaumakapili church should have
been crowded to its utmost last
night on the occasion of Mr.. Wray
Taylor's concert. AS it was the
building was pretty well filled with
an attentive appreciative audience.
Lovers of good music who failed to
attend last evening missed rare
musical treat, the like of which
they may not have an opportunity
of hearing again for long time to
come.

Miss Patch and Dr. South officiated
as accompanies.
The opening numbers on the
organ by Mr. Wrav Taylor, as well
as his solo, "Offertoire 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, I" La Serenata,"
Mr.. III. L. Manning, of III. M. S.
Hyacinth, gave the audience a rare
treat. It is seldom that Honolulu
people have heard 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 I Shall Hear"
with violin obligato by Mr.. Rosen,
was even more loudly applauded
than the first and the gentleman
was forced to respond to an encore.
The pretty duet, 80, that we
two were maying," by Mrs. E. ID.
Tenney and Mr.. Manning may be
set down as the most successful
piece of the evening. 1t is seldom
that two such voices are heard in
concert in Honolulu, and it is to
be regretted that they cannot be
heard oftener. AT the conclusion
of the ballad, the applause was so
great that the perform were
compelled to respond W another
song.
The trio and qua.rtette playing
of Messrs. Rosen, Breith, Wall and
Marques was one of the main feat
ures of the concert and their efforts
were much appreciated, though
many in the audience would like
to have heard them in lighter
music.
We must not forget to mention
the organ solo of DR.. III. E. South
of the Hyacinth. That and his ae-
compartments on the piano showed
him to be a master of both instru-
ments.
Taken as a whole, where every
number was good, the concert was
grand success, and Mr.. Taylor
may congratulate himself on hav-
ing given one of the best concerts
ever heard in Honolulu.
