ST. ANDREWS GUILD.
a Brilliant Musicale for Praise-
worthy Object

evening at the Progress Hall, when
local talent invited the public to
listen to an exquisite entertainment
for the benefit of three orphans he.
ing educated at the st. Andrews
Priory.
Every seat in the beautiful hall
was occupied, when string orches-
ira, under the leadership Of Pro-
lessor Berger, opened the concert.
Before the overture was finished
there was only standing room in the
large hall.
Mr. Charles Elston sang my
Dreams" in very pleasing manner.
His high baritone was heard to bet
ter advantage later on in Robin
Hood, duet where his voice blend
ed we'll with the sweet soprano Of
Miss May Hart, who as an accom-
PIANIST and singer ranks among the
very best musicians OF the town.
Gertrude and Alfred Tinker play
ed very neat duet for piano and
violin. The boy plays the violin in
very pleasing manner, and the
young performers gave evidence Of
earnest practice and careful study.
Messrs. Harry Preston and Frank
Foster, of the U. S. Engineers, add
ed to the success of the evening
through the duets rendered by them
with we'll trained and manly voices.
Cox e. Box" lie very difficult vocal
lumber, but was rendered in an ex-
cellent manner by the two military
singers.
The "vocal gavotte" of the pupils
OF the Priory was quaint and pretty.
Professor Marques conducted the
dance OF the little girls, who in Co.'S
tunes of past century went
through the intricate figures of the
gavotte OF Louis XIV. The chorus,
however, was not sup to date" the
lack of different classes OF voices be-
ing very conspicuous.
Mr.. Harold Mott Smith is master
on the violoncello. 1t is risky for
any amateur to tackle Moszkowski,
but the brilliant young player, ably
accompanied on the piano by Mrs
Mott Smith, did full justice to the
great master. As vloloncellist Mr.
Mott-Smith is very close to the top
Of the ladder of musical fame,
As singer of comic songs Mr. r
Muller is undoubtedly the cleverest
and most entertaining that we have
ever had the fortune to listen to-
The audience was convulsed with
laughter and forced Mr. Muller Ia

has pleasing voice, refined roper.
tore, and possesses an infinite
amount OF drollery. He will be a
persona gratissima at all concerts in
Honolulu.
Although Mr.. Paul d. Isenberg
has a handle to his name aud il
an "hon" on the program, his voice
is as sweet aud powerful and cult
waited as ever. The talented musician
rarely appears in public, being now
weighed down with cares of state
and Soldiers" but whenever hi
does appear it is we'll worth travel
ling from far to listen to his splen
