From Wedresday's Daily.l

The New Year was given royal re-
ception by Honolulu residents.
The festivities and merriment be-
gan early Monday evening and did not
cease till late hour last evening.
There were weddings and New Year
picnic parties galore, while many OF
the native families entertained at the
usual elaborate luaus.
During the morning and late after
noon yesterday a good many gentle
men revived the custom of New Year
calls. There was a general expression
among many OF the ladies Of the city
favcring the revival of this custom,
which has Of late years fallen into
sort of innocuous desuetude.
The principal reception Of the after
noon was at President Dole's, from 8
to 5. The president marked with
pleasure the cosmopolitan character
of those who called, it being a thoro,
ughly representative gathering. All
members of the diplomatic and consul
lar corps We're present and wished
the chief magistrate and Mrs. Dole
many happy returns of the day. The
band was stationed on the lawn, and
furnished an excellent programme.

Reception and Entertainment st the Y.
Nj. c. A. Rooms.
The y. NJ. C. A. has reason to feel
proud of what it did yesterday for the
young men of Honolulu. AS pre-
viously announced in the ADyER-
TIsER, dinner was served and a
reception given by the ladies of the
". c. T. [. and Y's, to the delight of
all who were present.
The concert in the evening, called
forth great number of people. Every
chair was taken and many people had
to content themselves with standing.
The first number on the programme
was music by Professor Berger and
several picked musicians. This put
the audience in a good humor for all
that was to come. A piano solo by
Mrs. Castle was we'll received.
The members of the Y. II. l., ac-
companied by flute and two guitars,
sang native song, which was heartily
encored. Mrs. Judd then sang very
sweet little song appropriate to the
occasion.
Miss Kenney delivered in a most
pleasing and natural manner one of
James Whitcomb Riley's poems, after
which Professor Berger again favored
the audience, who in turn gave him a
hearty encore. The members of the
Y.H. I. sang one more number, fin
ishing with the familiar "Aloha Oe "
Miss Boyer's solo was heartily en-
cored, ard in response she rendered
"Comin' Thro' the Rye" in most
catchy manner. Mr.. Whitney kept
the audience in a constant fit of
laughter with his rendition of "How
He Missed the Train.n Mr.. Whitney
has voice well adapted for speaking.
He was encored and gave a blood.
curdling selection. The programme
was completed by Professor Berger.

A Pleasant Visit to HONOLULU and Pearl
City.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dillingham; were the
kind entertainers of pleasant party
of ten gentlemen and five ladies who
took trip to Eva on a special car
yesterday afternoon.
The object of the excursion was to
visit the honolulu plantation. At
l 80 the train pulled out of the depot,
and when it reached its destination
the passengers got out to inspect the
mill, and especially the new machin-
cry that has just been put up.
The party took an open car through
the cane fields, where they stopped
from time to time to get sugar cane.
At o'clock the train started on its
homeward trip, taking in Pearl City
on its way. Here again the party
jumped off and visited the various
places of interest, such as Aloha Villa.
They walked down Franklin avenue
and came upon two "roughing it
parties from Honolulu-one of girls
and one of boys. At 6 o'clock the
train reached Honolulu, bringing back
profoundly grateful party.

TROD THEATRICAL BOARDS
Play al the Brown Residence New
Years Eve.
Amateurs Who Won Attention -
"szowbau" Given a Thoroughly
Successful Presentation.

Perhaps 10 more favorable place
than the residence of Mr.. ]. K. Brown
al Waikiki could have been selected
for a New Years eve entertainment.
Eight o'clock found a very large
and decidedly ''swelln audience
gathered under the large lanai, in
front of a red curtain that hid from
view the place where play called
''The Snowballr was TO be acted.
An orchestra of native boys sta
toned back of the audience furnished
delightful music during the evening.
After a selection by the orchestra,
the curtains were drawn aside and the
feature of the evening was soon in
progress.
'FThe Snowball' is a very spirited
and decidedly amusing play in three
acts, and affords great opportunity
for good acting. 1t is the story of the
family troubles of one of the "boys,"
who tries TO get the best of his wife
and fails most miserably-sueceeding
once, only to become plunged deeper
and deeper into disgrace by the clever
maneuvers of his scheming wife.
The parts of Felix Featherstone,
who is in hard luck, and Mrs. Feath-
erstone, who never for an instant ac-
knowledges herself beaten by her hus-
band, were played respectively by Mr..
J. F. Brown and Mrs. WV. Dimond.
Between these two there is constant
fire of scathing words. and only in the
and of E,aliv h o. "a
feet of his wife, does the battle cease.
Mr., Brown was exceedingly funny in
his part, causing numerous ripples of
laughter. His troubles gathered as
he went so that he resembled a
"Snowbalr' in his makeup. Mrs.
Dimond had a very difficult part and
carried it through in very pleasing
manner.
The parts of Ethel, the ward of
Felix Featherstone, and Harry Prem
degast, her lover, were played respect
lively by Miss Kitchen and DR.. a. E.
Nichols, Miss Kitchen was very
charming in her role. She trusted
everything to others, and especially
TO her aunt. Dr. Nichols played the
lover admirably.
Mr.. Geo. c. Potter, as Mr.. Thorny-
croft, Felix's old uncle. who has
"been there BEFORE" played his part
with the good grace of a studied actor,
accompanying his remarks with sly
twinkles of the eye and frequent ex-
pressive shrugs of the shoulders.
Penelope, the maid in Felix's home,
was played by Mrs. Z. d. Tenney.
Her part was very difficult one, but
she succeeded admirably in the i'm
personation of it. She skipped about
and did the bidding her master and
mistress; she showed the usual curl
osity of the maid she schemed to get
all the money she could, and finally,
when she saw things were all coming
her way, she unhesitatingly made
herself mistress of the house. Her
acting would have done credit to a
professional.
After the play, few minutes were
given to pleasant chat, the chairs
were cleared away, and the music of
waltz announced the first number
on the second part of the evenings
entertainment-the dance. 1t was
not until quite a late hour that one of
the most pleasant entertainments of
the year was brought to an end.
Every person present had thoroughly
good time.
