SOCIETY OUT IN FORCE
AMATEUR THEATRICALS PLEASE
A LARGE AUDIENCE.
Kilohana Art Leagues Successful En-
tertainment Saturday Evening-The
Plays Presented and the Players.

Society was out in force at the kilo-
hama Art Leagues dramatic entertain
ment at the opera house Saturday ev-
ening. 1t went to be pleased, and it
was.
The curtain raiser, the domestic com
edy, Bear and Forbear." was present
ed by what may be called II debut cast,
no member of it having ever appeared
before in Honolulu theatricals. Miss
Stella Love was an excellent Lady
Courtley, carrying the part with dig
nifty and dramatic ability. Lieutenant
Tice as John, servant, added a good
deal of local color to the lines by
some pat illusions to brass buttons
and shoulder straps. Miss Kathryn
Widdifield as Jane, was pleasing, and
presented the part with intelligence.
DIR. II. T.. Winslow as Sir Charles
Courtley. Lieutenant Moore as Colon
ell Thunder, and Mrs. V. +. Titus as
Mrs. Thunder, played their parts well.
"a Model Lover is a more ambitious
play and presented more intricate
plot. Mrs. IIumphris as Betty the
emancipated woman with leanings
toward art and Bohemianism. was vi
vicious, piqnant, charming and fully
adequate to the part. Had the audi
ence been more demonstratiVe she
would have received much deserved
applause. DR.. Humphris as the French
professor had a clear and well defined
appreciation of the character and he
portrayed it to the life. In the details
of make up he left nothing undone. In
his presentation of the struggles of
the Frenchman with the idiom of the
English language, he was admirable.
DIR. and Mrs. Humphris are valuable
additions to the amateur ranks of
Honolulu. 1t is to be hoped they may
soon be seen again in theatricals soon.
Miss Wilhelmina Joelnalle as Mrs.
Rabbit, the precise, prudish house
keeper, with ideas restricted to the
strict conventional, made the most of
the part and was especially admirable
i'm her enunciation, and the sponta-
neity she gave the part.
Miss Alice Kitchen made the part of
Leslie Francis what it should be, a
/ contrast and foil to that of Betty.
Sidney Miller Ballou was a real gen
| tleman of the old school, and y. Wal
| ter Camp was satisfactory in make up
and manner.

! Dramatic Circle of the League, the

THREAD FROM EARTH TO STAR.

Sir Robert Ball once made Il curious
calculation on the distance to the
nearest of the fixed stars" The cal
culation was inspired by a visit to one
of the great Lancashire thread facto-
ries. The superintendent of one of
the factories inspected by the astrono-
mer informed the star gazer that the
combined output of the various Lam
cashfre thread factories was 155,000,-
900 miles of thread a day. Those fig
ures were certainly enough to aston
ish anyone, unless it should be an as
tronomer. Sir Bobert Ball has long
since passed the point where he eN-
presses surprise at a string of figures
which represent even billions of miles,
Instead of falling stunned at the SUI
perintendent's feet, he paralyzed the
manufactures of cotton filaments by
telling him that if all the factories in
Lancashire should work day and
night producing 155,000,000 miles of
thread every twelve hours, it would
take them over 200 hundred years to
spin a thread long enough to reach
from the earth to the nearest of the
fixed stars.

REFlNA WON THEM BOTH.
Or. Frost's Mare Beat Old Abbie V In TWO
Trips Down the Avenue.

In the rain and the sleet, the snow
and the slush. two of the fastest and
most decisive heats of the season were
put in on the avenue, yesterday after
noon. There were no sleighs to crowd
the course and the drivers; no crowd
at the finish to cheer the winner and to
poke fun at the loser. But had horse
nen known what was to take place,
they would have surely turned out
The two heats were between the two
mares, Refna (2:OS) the gray PAGER,
and Abbie V. (2:16%), the gray trotter
The two aspirants for avenue honors
were driven by their owners, DR.. e. E.
Frost and r. c. Taylor. Both heats
yesterday afternoon were won by DR.
Frost and Refina, with Abbie v less
than length behind. 1t was d, drive
to the finish each trip down, and, al
though Refna won each time, the
daughter of old Aberdeen made her step
every inch of the way
The result of yesterdays brushes goes
to prove what has seemed almost self
evident since the sleighing season OPP
ened-that Abbie V. would have to re-
linquish her title held for three years,
Of queen Of the ward"
The boulevard last evening was very
slushy and wet, and unless it turns
cold very soon, there will be no more
sleighing until more snow comes.

to enter the Dartmouth medical school
and represent their college in athletic

The other two colleges having no pro-

In the winter of 1886, Amherst en-
tered a vigorous protest against the

threaten, in a mass meeting, to refuse
to meet Dartmouth in an athletic con-
test until the "medics" We're debarred.

BOSTON HAS 1T SURE.
Next National Regatta viii Be RoWed on
Charles RiYer.

The annual championship regatta of the
National Association of Amateur Oars
men will be held this year on the Charles
river course in Boston. This was definite
ly settled yesterday by the announcement
made by Secretary Fred R. Fortmeyer to
that effect.
Those interested in aquatics at Bostor
have made many attempts in forme
years to have the national championship
held in their city, but heretofore their eff
forts have been unsuccessful. While be-
ing many times disappointed in not get
ting the event, the Hubbites have ever
been faithful to the organization.
This year Philadelphia made no con-
certed effort for tho event, while the Bos-
tonians worked hi ~ n than ever to gain
their point Boston has the good will of
all the clubs in the middle and eastern
states, but the southern clubs are I'M
doubtedly in favor of having the regatta
at Philadelphia, as in former years.
The formal vote by which the regatta
will be given to Boston will be passed a

shed-like structures on the beach had
dissolved under the force of the waves.
The coast was lined with wreckage for
many miles. Winthrop avenue, the
smooth macadam road which i'm sum-
mer is wheelman's paradise, was
filled with a tangled mass of fotsam
and jetsam and wreckage of all kinds.
Imposing buildings were reduced to
'kindling wood. The dead bodies of men
and animals tangled up in the ruins
told their tale eff sadness
The tWo-story frame building pictured
IN the upper part of the accompanying
cut has a strange history. Before the
storm it stood some distance back from
the beach, supposedly at d safe dis
tance from the water. But on the
night of the 9th of November it was
completely surrounded by water. The
huge breakers beat upon its stone
foundations like a battering ram and
finally one roller larger than the 9TH
ers carried the dwelling out to- sea.
In the second-story room shown in
the picture was a sick woman with
her daughter. When the water carried
the house out to sea, mother and
daughter gave themselves up for lost.
Their cries. however, attracted the at
tention OF the life-saving crew and res
cue was promptly at hand. The life
boat was rowed over the crests of the
waves and stout cable passed around
the house. on that rope depended the
safety Of the women. Luckily it held
fast. The house was held secure until
ebb tide. when it was left high and
dry upon land 1000 feet from where it
had originally stood.

house but being built upon strong iron
