The Hilo Musical and Literary Club had a delightful entertainment on the 22d inst. at the usual place. The selections were of a very pleasing nature, such as one would suppose, the getters-up of the entertainment would produce - full of fun mostly. Mrs. W. C. Scott gave a reading, and so did Mr. L. Turner, and Mr. L. Severance. A vocal duett by Mrs. Loebenstein and Mrs. Corscadden. Piano duett by Miss Helen Severance and Miss A. A recitation by Mrs. Josephine Prindiville, formerly of Chicago, who gave us a genuine treat, was rendered in a very artistic manner. I am glad she is to remain with us for a while, and hope to hear her voice many times. The entertainment ended with a farce called Fing Wing. Mr. Sanguinetti was the accused Chinaman. The Judge, Mr. L. Severance. Lawyers, Miss Almeda Hitchcock, Mr. A. W. Burt. Sheriff, Mr. A. Wilson. A female Jury was called. The witnesses were Mr. W. E. Scott, dressed as an Irish girl, and Mr. E. E. Richards. The lawyer for the defence, Miss Hitchcock, moved the case be dismissed as the jurors had not been sworn, case dismissed. J. A. M. Hil, June 26.
