The Hawaiian gazette., 1894-10-16

MAUI, Oct. 13.-A perfect night,
with its "sweet moonlight" and
balmy atmosphere, attracted large
number of Spreckelsville, Kahului
and Waikiki people to the October
evening of the Makawao Literary
Society, which occurred at the resi-
dence of Mr.. and Mrs. Ogg, Of Paia, on
the 18th instant.
1t was a crush of human beings
long rows of black coats adorned the
verandas, and bevies of fair ones con-
SANITY filed the small parlcrs.
Judging by the attendance, it was
the most popular social function of
the season. Haiku and Hamakuapoko
people much enjoyed jaunt by the
light of the moon on the tram-cars.
The programme, with the exception
of two or three events, was OF musical
turn, which evidently gave much
pleasure to the large audience.
The "Topsy Turvy Chorus" was
well executed by six gentlemen, who
sang a number of songs-alternately
exhibiting their heads and feet above
a long black curtain. Number two
was the Quivive Galop, piano solo,
by Mr.. Atwater. The next event was
a piano solO-piano and banjo-by
Misses Morris and Cunningham, of
Waikiki. 1t was most enthusiastic
ally eucored. Number three was a
humorous rendering from Mark Twain
by Mr.. c. ii. Dickey. This was fol-
lowed by a song by Mrs. Brennan, of
Honolulu, with violin and piano ac-
compartment. Mrs. Brennan was re-
called. and again agreeably enter
tanned her auditors.
Hiss Chamberlain's piano solo was
most dainty, and full of fine harmony.
Miss Maud Baldwin's recitation was
delivered in her usual charming way.
A violin solo, by Miss Watson, was
so skilfully performed as to demand a
recall.
A sentimental duet, by Mrs. Bren-
ham and Mr.. Hugh Howell was well
received.
The tenth number was violin solo
by Mr.. Howell, who played a ma
Zourka ia q unique style as an encore.
The finishing touch was added to
the evenings pleasure by Mesdames
H. B. Bailey and p. J. Aiken in a
clever skit, entitled "Aunty DolefuPs
Visit" Aunty Doleful, by Mrs. Bal
lev, was a most clever bit of acting,
and her anything but cOnsoling re-
marks to her invalid friend caused
great amusement to her bearers.
Many thanks are due to Spreckels-
assistance in rendering the evenings
entertainment so attractive.
