The Honolulu Cricket Club smoker
last night was successful in every re-
spect. The American League hall was
filled with a lot of good fellows, anx-
ious for a pleasant evening, and the
entertainers on the program did well
their parts, causing merr1ment
throughout the time that the smoker
lasted.
DR.. Murray was to have acted as
chairman of the evening, but, owing TO
unavoidable circumstances, was unable
to be present After a wait Of about
quarter of an hour, in the hope that
Dr. Murray might turn up, Alex. st.
M. Macintosh was chosen to take the
chair. He was ably supported by Will
liam Thompson.

| follows:

In his parody on Popular Songs"
Mr.. Henshall was Joined in the chorus
by all present and an encore was de-
manded.
Messrs Hollander and Leon, the
former on the violin and the latter on
the piano, contributed much to the
pleasure of the evening, and were
brought to a realization of the appreci-
| alton of their performance by the
hearty encore accorded.
DR.. Sinclair's tricks with the cards
formed another bright spot in the even
ings program. Where the slips of
cardboard disappeared and reappeared
still remains a mystery.
When Attorney Macdonald finished
his 'The Clink of the Ice in the Pitcher
at Five A. NJ" there was loud applause
and a call on all sides for what Eugene
Field must have had in mind when he
wrote the poem. In answer to an en-
| core, Mr.. Macdonald responded with a
poem by a poet of the South, in which
an old negro explains the origin of the
the affinity that these two and a negro
have had for one another since the
time of Noah's ark.
Paymaster Murray of H. NJ. S. Pen
gum, in his "Enniscorty," gave an ad-
ditional kick at the ball, which set it
| rolling more rapidly than ever. The
| enthusiastic joining in Of all in the
chorus and the hearty encore were
well deserved
English Quite English, You Know"
| by DR.. Langford of H. M S. Penguin,
was rouser. The Englishman, Irish
man, Yankee, Welchman, Scotchman,
Frenchman, were initiated to perfec-
! ton. When he had reached the end.
| someone cried out: "Give us the Ha-
waiian version" Dr. Langford whfs-
pered quickly to Professor Berger. and
then started on the popular Hawaiian
song, kiss Me, My Darling" CHuki ka
Ulua). The doctors pronunciation was
lost in the voices of the people in the
audience who were familiar with the
song. Professor Berger. in his "Popu-
lar Marches" added much to the en-
! joyment.
Among those present at the smoker
were: F. M. Swanzy, Paymaster James
Murray, Lieut.. Charles Brewis. DR..
Langford of II. NJ. S. Penguin. DR..
