ALL BETS OFF.
This is the Chief Feature of q
Match Horse Rae.

The horse race Saturday between
Violin and Directress resulted in all
bets being declared off. The stands
were crowded and one might have
Thought that it was a gala day instead
of being "a single race.
The horses started at O'Clock sharp.
Jack Gibson was behind Directress,
while Jim Quinn held the ribbons over
Violin. The first heat went to Direc-
.tress by a good margin in 2:24. When
the second heat started the spectators
saw Quinn pull up and start to turn
around. But when he saw Directress
still going he started after her al
though quarter of mile behind. OF
course Directress trotted over the line
an easy winner.
1t afterwards developed that when
the second heat was started Jim Quinn
heard the bell but not the word. Think
ing it was meant for the recall he
stopped and turned around AS Di-
rectress kept up the going there was
soon a wide distance between them.
For this reason all bets were declared
off.

we'll conceived. Mr.. VIM. McVay'S
Sir Toby was finely rendered, as was
Mr.. Allen Dunn's Sir Andrew Ague-
cheek. The drunken scene was i'm
mense. Mr.. George HernandeZ's clown
was good, but the highest test of his
art will come on Tuesday night with
his performance of Touchstone in CAS-
You Like IT. Mr.. Bowman's render
ing of Sebastian was spirited and
good. Mr. Moral MacGregor. as NAL
volio, had a difficult role. The char
acter is meant to be eXtravagant in
action to contrast the fun of the jolly
trio; but it might be suggested that if
the role were carried with a little less
spirit it would harmonic better with
the intent of the play. 1t must be
remembered that no character in
Twelfth Night should be made more
prominent than another. Absolute
harmony in action is the fulfillment
OF its comedy.
1t might also be suggested that a
little stronger and more careful enun-
citation of the lines by the company
would be an improvement as the
acoustics of the opera house are not
perfect.

star can be revealed and all the art

ment accentuated without disturbing
the harmony of the play. But this is
difficult CT performance without des-
troyjng the womanly modesty that
must be retained by the girl who has

without wishing to censure, Miss Wal
tiorf failed to grasp the full force Of
the authors intent at this point. BY a
more ELUSIVE greeting of her brother,
which would have been natural, she
could have been more intense in the
development of her love for the Duke
without the loss of womanly delicacy.
The climax would have been more
complete. The pathos of the situation
carried so delicately through the en-
tire play would have been more ap-
parent.

nolulu which will not soon be forgot
ten by those who were fortunate
enough to obtain seats. That the event
was fully appreciated is shown by the
large and fashionable audience that
greeted the young star. Honolulu has
never heretofore been treated to a
season of Shakesperian drama and it
is gratifying to report that Miss WAL
DORIS first night was an unqualified
success. Miss Waldorf exhibited suf-
ficient power and versatility under try
ing circumstances, which the perform
ance of Twelfth Night imposes upon a
star actress, to warrant the prediction
that the ambitious repertoire given
will be rendered with sufficient merit
to prove exceedingly interesting to
theater goers. 1t might have been
thought by some, when noting the eX-
uaordinary range of the repertoire
that Honolulu was being used to ''prat-
tice upon the dog but Miss Waldorf 5
Saturday night performance dispelled
this illusion.
Twelfth Night is one of the most
beautiful and rollicking Of all OF
Shakespeare's comedies, but is most
difficult of performance because there
is in reality no star role. The whole
play is comedy and each performer
must be a comedian of the first order
TO preserve the harmony of the action
However great the genius of Viola,
the greatest exhibition of that genius
is in the power Of depressing it TO the
level of her support and maintaining
the even harmony of the play. The
page must never be more than page.
To impress an audience with ones
personality in minor role, yet in no
way throw the action out of harmony
or detracting one jot of attention from
more prominent parts, is the highest
skill in the histrionic art. This Is
what Twelfth Night imposes upon a
star.
Miss Waldorf's scenes with the Duke
and Lady Olivia and the very gradual
development of her passion for her
master and Increasing reluctance to
carry his love messages to her rival,
were beautifully conceived and deli
cately rendered. Her duel with Sir
Andrew Aguecheek was a fine bit OF
comedy. so womanly in it's conception
and contrasting so prominently with
her brothers later performance In
breaking the pates Of Olivia's kinsman.
The role Of Viola does not reach It's
climax. or reach it's opportunity until
the last moment in the discovery or
her brother and the revelation OF her
love for the Duke. It Is the only real

NEW LAND FOR SETTLERS.
E. d. Baldwin and w. A. Hardy
have spent portion of the week in
the new Olaa section appraising the
lands soon to be put ON the market by
the Government. The conclusions at
which they have arrived are not given
out by publication, as they must be
first submitted to the land commissions
ers and are subject to alterations by
them.
The lands are found by the apprais-
ers to be very fertile richer in fact, il
is believed than those of the older
district, though the lower portion is
quite rocky. Mr.. Baldwin says that
the work of road construction is pro-
crossing rapidly, and that another
three miles will soon be given out for
contract. 1t is suggested that the
money appropriated for cross roads, q
portion of it at any rate. should be
applied to the new main road as the
general absorption of the old lands by
the sugar planting interests renders q
number of these cross roads unneces-
Sary.
