ular glow that Honoluluans may have
noticed in the southern sky is not due
TO volcanic outbreak. 1t is faint re-
Election from the joyous smiles that light
up the planters faces in Kohala since
the rain came. People are so busy
planting here that they hardly have time
to eat, Our snly sorrow is that the days
are not longer. Slight snGwers are can-
stantly falling, making it perfect i;.'ant-
ing weather. To see the muddy roads
ard the oil coats makes ii look as though
old times had come back again. o her
nations may boast of sunny weather, but
they know nothing of the pure delight
that cloudy sky and June show er
bring to the heart of Kohala farmer.
Our new music hall has just celebrated
lis first concert. Everyone who could
get there turned out through the rain,
and the nall was well filed. The concert
opened with an exquisite piano selection
by Miss Bella Woods, with violin obi
cato by Mr.. Carl Widemann
Mrs. DIR. Bond gave one of her mimi
table recifations. Mr.. A. T.bbs, Mr.. G.
G. Kempster and Dir. 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. J. Hind, Mrs. q. r Rem
ton, Mr.. J. Barnett ana 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 farce with the title
"Should This Meet the Eye" The plot
is the outcome of a newspaper advertise
ment and the accident of two men in
qnite different walks in life having their
names represented by the same initials
An angry old father wanted to make it
warm for his daughter's lover and en-
ployed two baiiiff's to assist him. The
daughter had inserted in the newspaper
the advertisement thai forms the title of
the play, making an appointment to
meet her lover. Meanwhile Mr. Lamp

his eye over the adj ertsement and

taken with his manly charms a |
few days before. A pert chamber
maid and a weli-meaning, but blum
dering Irish serving man assisted in the
of errors. The part of the hero
inc was taken by Niss Maud Wight, Old
Skinfiint, the father, was personated by
MIR. q. +. Tulloch, the part of the hero
was played by Mr.. III. w. Kempster,
Mr.. A 1ibbs was the enterprising and
ambitious Lampkin Louder, the ba,liffs
we're Messrs Wight and Frank Atkins,
Mrs. c. S. Kynnersley personated the
serving man. There was more bois erous
un crowded into an hour than usually
ais to the lot of Kohala audience to
enjoy. Where the merit was so gener-
lily distributed it is difficult to select
lny particular part for especial praise,
,ut perhaps the very best piece of act
vas seen in the eating scene, where
-ouder fell heir to the best part of two
meals amid a good deal of excitement.

urtain for the Music Hall stage, the re-
ult OF the continuous efforts of Kohala
