Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1900-05-02

owls hooted madly and The miserable
mlser tottered into view and wien he
had finished his address 'eemed to
leave his uncanny, warning, presence
for time.
linen the chief of the imps said the
measure of music and the balm Of con-
tentmCnt might nationally be desired
by all men wishing diversion Or gifts
to Offset the anguish of existence SO
common to all or to heal the ever pres
ent wounds of those buifetod about the
great stream of life. And such inl;sic
there was in that ravine with the band,
the orchestra, the voices and test for
the best works of the best composers
1t was music that is supplied at but
one place by one agency-up in the
redwoods by the Bohemian Club. And
when the last notes had died cut and
the owls gently hooting had gone into
the echoes and while the spell of 81
lence was yet on the throng, the return
march was taken up. But halt was
made and great wide circle, with the
light Of the fast failing torches, was
formed. This was about a bier. The
torches were extinguishc1 as the high
priest ordered the match touched to the
funeral pyre of Care and Discomfort
The ceremony was lacking in no detail
and the chorus singing was a treat The
high links performan 'e was not soon
to be forgotten, but weight was lifted
from all and wave Of glad RELIEF felt
as the flames assembled from the repre-
sensations of the bodies of Care and
Discomfort and the pace back to the
starting point of the evening was a
quick and eager one.
The Low links, on the well appoint
ed stage of the bijou of theatur built
by the City men was an exhibition of
the choicest wit of the best men of
the comedy section of the club. Every
prominent man affiliated with Bohemia
was lampooned numerically but never
unkindly. National, State, county and
town, political figures had no sparing.
There was dancing and there was mt
sic of the hour. Professional and auia-
teur appeared in the same ski. Such
voices as those Of the peerless Denny
O'Sulivan was heard and such dane
ers as Marinetti appeared. One sketch
was laid in studio, another in news
paper office, another in the Office of
mayor of a municipality, another in
vaudeville theater. The army and navy
were given attention and spurious
poetry very close to some of the nc
tual work of listeners was read. Paint
ings were gravely criticised. AS
finale bull fight was given and some
Of the stage furniture was turned over
board. Not a member of the audience
left for bed and 1t was o'clock In the
morning when the performance WIS
concluded.
Al o'clock Sunday all went down to
the Russian river for swim. Then
came the famous recuperation ard
renoyating breakfast of the Bohemans
with onion soup as the principal
item. Then there was a grand sacred
concert, with the club orchestra and
the artillery band alternating. An
other meal was served. In the middle
of the afternoon the cars were boarded
again. At each town the singers gave
some music and on the train pleasure
was unconflned. San Francisco was
reached late in the evening and one 10
whom the Midsummer links of the b.
hemian Club was new did not wonder
any longer that club members came
from Europe and from New York solely
to go up into the redwoods and to re-
count the doings in the club-rooms en-
riched by Jules Tavernier's gifts of
his own paintings and where the faces
Of good fellows like Paul Neumann
greet you from the walls. The Island
