LUNCH AT HALEIWA.

County Treasurer Trent was abduct-
ed this morning at the oahu Railway
depot, when the SPECIAL left for Ha-
leiwa with the members of the Southern
California Editorial Association. Trent
said he wasn't able to make the trip
and he was deaf to all persuasions. He
rashly went aboard the train, however,
and Fred Smith and others made a
strenuous effort to hold him by force.
The voice of a friend who called to
him when the train started, and the
strenuous efforts of Trent himself re-
suited in his release, and the train
was stopped just outside the station to
enable him to jump off.
The entire party of visitors left on
the excursion. All were in fine humor
for sightseeing and much pleasure was
expressed at the arrangements There
were four chair cars, provided by the

A Large Audience at Mr.. Hammerstein's
New opera House.


'Rigoletto' was repeated at Mr.. Ham
merstein's Manhattan Opera House last
night. The audience was one Of encourag-
iug size, the largest Mr.. Hammerstein has
enjoyed since his opening night a week ago.
and it left no ann OF doubt that IL en-
loved not only every number in the opera,
but every part of every number. Such
vociserous enthusiasm is rarely heard this
side Of the San Carlo at Naples, where joy
is expressed by throwing money and jewels
on the stage and disapprobation by throw
lng orchestra chairs.
The performance Of Verdis opera had
clements OF great merit, and these were
not confined TO the principals. The chorus
sang excelleutly and his is a feature which
d serves,early, as well as honorable, mention.
Bat the leading position In che representa-
Ton must be accorded TO Nr. Bonci, who
was the Duke. IL is true that this wlnsome
little tenor sang fat in the second act, but
hat has happened to others. But in gem
oral his delivery Of the music was that OF
an artist.
Mr.. Bonci is a most delightful singer OF
such music as this. His phrasing is adj
'nlrable, his enunciation OF the text il per-
feet, his command Of the graces and ele-
-~arcies of italian song complete. To look
Tor dramatic force in the impersonation of
the Duke would be to show ignorance Of the
possibilities Of the role and the traditions
of this opera. Mr.. Bonci deserved all the
applause he received and he received much.
Mr.. Renaud did not appear as RigolcttU,
as he was at first announced to do. The
part was committed to the care Of Mr..
Ancona, who sang the music very well.
This can. however, hardly be accounted
one Of his best parts. 1t requires a broader
AMI more intense dramatic power than
he has ever displayed in this country.

from the Attorneys General Of both North
