The Honolulu Cricket Club Smoker
of Saturday night was the most sue
cessful event of the kind ever given by |
organization, and afforded the hun
dred or more guests present an evening |
OF greatest pleasure The committee
consisting of Messrs. W. H. Paine, NJ.
Brasch, F. Auerbach, C. H. w. Norton
and Thompson should feel very proud
of the success of the occasion.
Shortly before o'clock, Joseph
Marsden, with his usual smiling coun-
tenance, took the chairman's seat and
raped on the table for silence, while
Professor Berger played his overture.
Next came a either solo by Theo.
Wolff, which at once set that gentle
man down as finished player.
NJ Brasch sang Knocked EN- in the
Old Kent Road" with spirit, and was
Joined in the chorus by the audience.
Bob SCOTS sketch was so cleverly
done that ne was encored three times.
In his second number, recitation, he
was again encored. His And the par
rot said" brought the house down
more effectually perhaps than did any
of his selections.
W. Coelhos rich voice in native
songs was very much enjoyed and he
responded to an encore. He appeared
a second and third time on the pro-
gram.
Ed Towse told about his trip to Wal
amaze and made some statements and
misstatements about the fitness and I'M
fitness of things.
George Robinson was capital in his
Italian imitation of George Washing
tons seance with his father in the ia
nous apple tree cutting episode. He
responded to an encore with a Portu-
guese imitation.
VIII Patten produced the sensation
of the evening in his short Irish dia-
logues. Laughter was uncomfortable
as he repeated these.
The long looked for Il Mustn't Say
Anything Wrong" by Chester Doyle,
came next, and for excellence of local
hits it is a gem. The music by Pro-
lessor Berger is very catchy and just
suited to bring out Mr. Doyle's SPLEEN
did voice. Following are the words to
what will become popular air in Ho-
nolulu:
I'll sing you a song of the city,
And I'll promise to not keep you long.
I'll sing you it all in my ditty,
And tell of it all in my song;
How people are awfully fiurried,
And politics fearfully mixed;
But / think well be all dead and
buried
Before we are ever annexed.
Chorus.
have seen things, very strange things.
Now | haven't been here very long,
But there's not plantation that wants
annexation
But | mustn't say anything wrong.
Now the ''Belgie" brought Comma Ba-
ella
To work out its deviltry here;
1t tried all its hardest to kill us,
And fill US with terror and fear,
But with health regulations connected,
And forces against it arrayed,
AT last it was driven elected
BY the aid of the "Whitewash Brig
ade."
Chorus.
have seen things, very strange things,
Though haven't been here very long;
But its rubbish and bosh
To say that whitewash was intended
for anything wrong.
Our girls they are stylish and pretty,
With forms like the angels above;
They jilt us so stylish and witty,
Their dark eyes they are shining with
love;
They raise in our hearts such a racket,
While with Luning our salaries we
cash,
And then some COMPOUNDED Brass But
ton
Appropriates all of the mash.
Chorus
have seen things, very strange things,
Though I haven't been here very long;
But they'll crimp their hair wavy
For the boys in the Navy
but nustu say any lAihS HAOAS-
l am glad to see this convention OF
genius, talent and wealth,
But excuse me if | simply mention,
Many go elsewhere by stealth;
Despite all their brains and their talent,
My duty compels me to swear
see many bald-headed gallants
Who went to see Elsie Adair.
Chorus.
Giddy creatures, watch their features,
While 1 sing my innocent song.
In Serpentine kicks, and such naughty
tricks,
They never see anything wrong.
In the second part of the program
Joseph Marsden took cards out of Dan
iel Logan's beard, and did some knot
tricks.
Chester Doyle sang THE Cannibal
King, and then alice Ben Bolt by
request.
