The programme received much ap-
plause, two of the vocal duets being
encored. The farce created consider
able amusement, especially the first
scene, in which Dick Calmleigh forgets
his lines, and the characters, taking
their own names, finally agree to drop
the curtain and go on with the next
scene, which is the play proper. Much
speculation was indulged in by the
audience as to whether the stumbling
was real, or intended, and explanations
were demanded afterward.
On Wednesday evening, pursuant to
CALL meeting was held at Wailullu
Court House to reorganize the Maui
Annexation Club. The principal busi-
ness of the evening was the election
of officers, and the following were
chosen:
A. N. Kepoikai, President.
w. II. Campbell, Vice President.
A. II. Thomas Secretary
w. H. Campbell, NJ. p. Waiwaiole, w.
T. Robinson, Enrolment Committee.
After the election of officers some
time was given to discussion of the
situation, and the meeting adjourned
to the call of the President. En-
rollment papers are being circulated
in all districts here and the work will
be pushed steadily in. The Annexa-
tionists hope to have clubs re0rganized
in Makawao, Lahaina and Hama soon,
and to add united voice to Hawaii's
plea for annexation. The sentiment
has gained much ground amongst the
natives here and many will be seen in
the ranks, who before have held
aloof.
The Montague-Faust family circus
is with us, and the small boy is happy.
They arrived at Kahului in their
schooner Norma last Saturday morn
ing, and that evening had their tents
pitched in Wailuku ready for a per-
formance. Posters had been sent
around and also the band, so that a
good house greeted their first act. But
soon the lights began to flicker, grew
dim and in spite of all their efforts,
stayed out. 1t seems on their voyage
up from Honolulu their lamps were
exposed to the salt water, which
caused the misfortune. So the man
agement were obliged to discontinue
their performance, and, returning the
crowd their tickets, told them to come
again Monday night. Two nights more
they showed in Waiuliu, the first to a
large audience, but the second to
rather small house. Thursday morn
ing they transferred their tent by train
performed Thursday and Friday
nights there, and intend repeating the
same tonight. Their houses have been
fairly good, and the opinion of the peo-
pie here is that they do all that they
advertise.
After their performance tonight
they leave ON a special train for Kd-
hului, embark on their schooner and
sail tomorrow morning for Hama,
though part of the company intend
riding overland. After one night at
Hama they sail to Hilo and tour Hd
waii.
LA grippe" seems to have taken
hold of our horses here, as a severe
epidemic of colds rs on the rounds
amongst them. This was brought
from Honolulu by horse Mr.. p. d.
Baldwin imported to Hamakuapollo,
and it was only short time pefore
the horses there had joined in the
chorus of coughing. Now horses in
