THE NEW CLUB
Organization rmpeded for Want of
Suitable Hall.

a Suitable Hall.
AT the new club meeting last even
ing A. B. Scrimgeour aud A. V.
Gear on behalf OF the committee on
hall and furniture reported satisfac-
torily in regard to the furniture,
but had to ask for further time in
regard to the hall
They had. been in consultation
with the agent of the Waverley
block in reference to obtaining the
handsome and capacious hall in
that building, but as there were two
other proposals under consideration
they could not come to any definite
arrangement until they had been
disposed Of. One of these would be
settled in day or so, and If that
fell through the next will be decided
on the arrival OF the S. S. Australia
on Tuesday next. 1t was conse-
quently decided to await the deci-
sions in regard to these two Pro-
posals, and in the event of the hall
being vacant on the 9th instant to
close with the offer for 1t provision
ally made.
Should this hall become rented
to other parties proposition will
b. placed before the Club to rent
one of the halls in the new Irwin
block on Nuuanu street contiguous
to the Foster block in which the Y.
Il. l. is located, or another con-
venient hall in a good locality.
The delay in obtaining a hall is
somewhat disheartening, as there is
large number waiting to sign the
rolls as soon as one can be obtain
cd, in which to effect permanent
organization, and delays in such
matters ara dangerous.
Members and those interested are
earnestly requested to attend the
adjourned meeting on Thursday
evening next, the 9th instant, to
hear the final report of the commit
tee who are, in the meantime, auth
orized to make all necessary arrange
ments on behalf Of the Club
1t is sincerely hoped that perma
nsnt organization will be effected
during the present month with
probably about 70 members on the
preliminary rolls.

THE SOCIAL HiGHwAYMAN.
A Splendid Drama for This Evenings
Performance.

Many Of the San Francisco papers
said that the strongest play in the
Frawley repertoire is The Social
Highwsymau. 1t will be produced
this evening.
The central figure in the play is
Courtce Jaffrey, thief moving in
the best of society. He is good
looking, admired and popular. He
is believed to be an honest man by
all but one strange woman. He has
however, become "Social High
waymau," and is the author OF
series OF bold crimes. He has stolen
diamonds from a duchess whom his
handsome face has captured and
from a wicked Spanish lady, known
as Sonora Leila Caprices. His pure
love for a pretty, upright girl, Ell
noir Burnham, first awakens his re-
morse and then his penitence. But
at the same time it arouses the
Senora's jealousy and towards the
end OF the first act, he is compelled
to choose between exposure by that
woman, who has somehow found
him out, or the renunciation OF the
one true, honest passion of his life.
He is about To put bullet through
his brain when he is saved by the
Intervention OF his devoted valet,
jenkins Handy whom he has be-
friended and rescued from despair.
One OF Jaffrey's dearest friends
Therton Harley is suspected OF be-
ing the real thief, but at the end
Jaffrey confesses and the play ends
by his accidental death.

A CLEVER PIANIsl.
Calvin Iampert Favorably Received
BY Fashionable Audience.

Miss Cortlelis Clymer's concert
last evening was we'll attended aud
it was undoubtedly success. The
audience was very appreciative aud
the applause OF the few who know
music when they hear it was sure
proof that the performants were far
above the average style of Honolulu
amateurs.
Prof, Yarndley was at his best
during the evening. His violin
seems to have gained new powers
and his playing was excellent. He
was ably assisted by Miss Clymer
whose cleverness as an accompanist
deserves the highest compliment.
Mrs. Q. B. Cooper was in excellent
voice and assisted materially in en-
HANGING the value OF the musicale.
1t is we'll worth travelling from the
suburbs to hear the highly cult
vated sweet voice OF Mrs. Cooper.
The trio "Hast Thou Wandered" by
Mrs Cooper, Miss Clymer and Prof.
Yarudley was the star number of
the evening and rarely have the fine
voices of the singers been heard to
better advantage.
Mr.. Lampert, to whom the concert
was given by Miss Clymer, is very
clever young pianist who undoubt-
eddy will meet the success which his
earnest studies deserve.
The program selected by him
showed that he is master OF the
handling of the keys, but that he
does not know the taste of his audi
ence. The days have gone by when
the players of the piano forte did
the circus act by showing their abb
lily to banging the instrument and
running their fingers over the keys in
a bewildering hurry. The pianist OF
to-day must draw music, acceptable
to the ear Of his listener, from his
instrument. Technique, wrist
power" equality, etc, are simply at
tributes subservient to the produc-
ton OF sweet aud true music. No
audience cares to hear renditions on
piano OF Kullak or CzerDy, the
should be first, technique, second
and last.
Mr. Lampert is a musician how
ever of great ability, aud we vel
come his advent here. He will soon
learn the necessity of abandoning
the pyrotechnichal display of finger
gymnastics before Honolulu audi.
enee.
