Good music appears to be thing |
which the majority of persons in Ho- |
nolulu appreciate only in a negative |
sort of way. That is they like it and |
will patronize it just so long as it does
not conflict with things they like bet
| ter, and the things of the latter class
are very numerous. The reputation
of the Honolulu Symphony Club is
such that no one doubts the merit of
anything they may undertake to pro-
duce. but the attendance at the con-
cert they give from time to time is
/ only fair, on the average, and last
/ Monday evening it was poor, compared
with what the merits of the affair de-
manded, all owing to the fact that
/ there happened to be dance and a
wedding on for the same evening. TO
the several hundred music lovers who
did attend. however, the selections OF
the club were a delight. 1t was one
of the best concerts ever given by
amateur musicians in the Territory.
