| to a volcanic outbreak. 1t is faint re-
Election from the joyous smiles that ligh
up the planters faces in Kohala since
the rain came. People are so busy
planting here that they hardly have time
to eat. Our only sorrow is that the days
are not longer. Slight showers are con-
stantly falling, making it perfect plant
| ing weather. To see the muddy roads
aud the oil coats makes it look as though
old times had come back again. y her
nations may boast of sunny weather, but
they know nothing OF the pure delight
that a cloudy sky and a June shower
bring to the heart of Kohala farmer.
Our new music hall has just celebrated
its first concert. Everyone who could
get there turned out through the rain,
and the hall was well filed. The concert
opened With an exquisite piano selection
by Miss Bella Woods, with violin obi
cato by Mr.. Carl Widemann.
Mrs. DR.. Bond gave one OF her mimi
table recitations. Mr.. A. Tlbbs, MIR. g..
c. Kempster and Mir. FL. w. Kempster
all sang solos, and all had to appear the
second time in response to the demands
of an appreciative, audience. The first
part of the concert concluded with quar-
tette by Mrs. ]. Hind, Mrs. G. r Rem
ton, Mr.. ]. Barnett and Mr.. G. r. Rem
ton. The voices blended well, showing
careful work as well as natural talent.
The second part of the evenings enter
tainment was a farce with the title
"Should This Meet the Eye" The plot
is the outcome of a newspaper advertise
ment anC the accident of two men in
quite different walks in life having their
names represented by the same initials.
An angry old father wanted to make it
warm for his daughters lover and en-
ployed two bailifss to assist him. The
daughter had inserted in the newspaper
the advertisement that forms the title of
the play, making an appointment to
meet her lover. Meanwhile Mr. Lamp
KIN Louder, a well to do soap boiler, cast
his eye over the advertisement and
jumped to the conclusion that he was the

ON" who signed the communica-
ton must be a certain young lady
taken with his manly charms a
few days before. A pert chamber
maid and a wel-meaning, but blum
dering Irish serving man assisted in the
comedy of errors. The part OF the hero
inc was taken by Miss Maud Wight, Old
Skinfint, the father, was personated by
Mr.. q. F. Tulloch, the part Of the hero
was played by Mr.. ii. w. Kempster,
Mr.. A 1ibbs was the enterprising and
am bilious Lampkin Louder, the balliffs
were Messrs Wight and Frank Atkins,
Mrs. c. S. Kynnersley personated the
chamber maid, and Mr.. w. May the
serving man. There was more bois erous
fun crowded into an hour than usually
falls to the lot of Kohala audience to
enjoy. Where the merit was so gener-
ally distributed it is difficult to select
any particular part for especial praise,
put perhaps the very best piece of act
was seen in the eating scene, where |
Louder fell heir to the best part of two |
meals amid a good deal of excitement. |

,urtain for the Music Hall stage, the re-
