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
dorf's 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
staj" actress, to warrant the prediction
that the ambitious repertoire given
will be rendered with sufficient merit
to prove exceedingly interesting to
theater goers. It might have bean
thought by some, when noting the ex
traordinary range of .the repertoire
that Honolulu was being used to "prac
tice upon the dog," but Miss W'aldorf's
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 a 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 repressing it to the
level of her sunnort and maintaining
the even harmony of the play. The j
page must never be more than a page,

or detracting one jot of attention from J Mama White and the old lover had
more prominent parts, is the highest not had their say up to the time the
skill in the histrionic art. This is 'stCamer left Honolulu Saturday morn-
what Twelfth Night imposes upon a;. J
ctar to ring. There must have been quite a
Miss Waldorf's scenes with the Duke . scene. .
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 oir
Andrew Aguecheek was a fine bit of
comedy, so womanly in its conception j
and contrasting so prominently with
hAr hrrthpr' Tafor rfnrmance in.
breaking the pates of Olivia's kinsman.
The role of Viola does not reach Its
climax, or reach its opportunity until
the last moment in the discovery or
her brother and the revelation of her
love for the Duke. It la the only real-
ly dramatic point in the play, so re
plete with pure fun and comedy. Here
at one brilliant stroke one intense
moment the revelation of the love
smothered go long, the genius of the
star can be revealed and all the art
displayed preceding this supreme mo
ment accentuated without disturbing
the harmony of the play. But this is
difficult cf performance without des
troying the womanly modesty that
must be retained by the girl who has
masqueraded as the page of her lover.
Without wishing to censure, Miss Wal
dorf failed to grsp the full force of
the author's intent at this point. By a
more effusive greeting of iier brother,
which -would have been natural, she
-ould have been more intense in the
development of her love for the Duke
wRhuut 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. Miss EJlen Boyer's Olivia was good
and very evenly sustained. Miss Vir
ginia Cranna's rollicking fun as
Maria, the maid, was all that could
have been expected, and the part very

S'ood. Mr. Noral MacGregor. as Mai
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 harmonize better with
the intent of the play. It 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.
It misrht also be suggested that a
little stronger and more careful enuri
elation of the lines hy the company
would be an improvement as the
acoustics of the opera house are not
perfect.

OLAA PLANTATION. .
Alfred Carter left for Honolulu by
last night's Ivinau, after about two
weeks spent in Olaa nd Puna. Mr.
Carter will return by the Wednesday
boat, at which time he will probably
bring with him the Hilo share of the
Olaa plantation stock, amounting to
about $350,000, which has already been
oversubscribed. ,
Up to the present time there are no
new developments of importance with
reference to the proposed plantation,
with one exception, which, is, indeed,
of great importance and significance.
This is the result attained in the anal
ysis of Lahaina cane, grown at the
Zimmerman place near Mountain
View, at a height of fully 1,500 feet.
This cane was analysed by Mr. Hart
man, the chemist at Papaikou, and
gives results which are quite unex
pected, the quantity and quality of
saccharine matter being exceptional
and superior to that exhibited by the
eame variety of cane on the low land
plantations of this district. The age
of the cane was eighteen months. This
result is a complete surprise to the
promoters, as it will doubtless .be to
sugar men in general, it being 4he
original supposition that highland
varieties would necessarily be cultivat
ed on all the lands above 1200 feet. If
such results can be attained with La
haina cane at 1500 feet, one can but
wonder what will be the product of
highland canes at 2500 and 3000 feet.
"The-variation in temperature be
tween the low and high elevations,"
says Mr. Carter, "is slight compared
with that of the Kau side, and the low
er temperatures of the uplands are
more than compensated by the super
ior richness of the soil." This being
the case, we may expect that the Oiaa
plantation throughout its whole area
will give crop results unparalelled in
the history of sugar cultivation in Ha
waii. '
PUNA PLANTATION.
H. R. Rye ro ft returned on Wednes
day from a visit of. several days to the
Puna district with Mr. A. P. Carter
arranging further details with refer
ence to the proposed sugar plantation?
Advices received from Mr. Campbell of
Honolulu indicate that the. proposition
will undoubtedly be floated. About
twenty miles of railway will be re
quired for the carrying business of
the plantation, but as the country is
well adapted for railway building,
this will not entail so large an expense
as would ordinarily be the case. The
water supply of the plantation will be
from the "Green Lake," near the Ly
man homestead.
MORE CANE LAND.
The Tribune has every reason to be
lieve that the negotiations for the
Wakefield tract on Keaau, covering an
area of nearly 2000 acres have come
to a successful Issue. The price paid
for this tract, as well as for the sec
tion covered by the Loebenstein op
tion, the two of which were pooled into
one proposition, is in the six figures.
The people who will take over these
lands are the same as those now pro
moting Olaa. The course to be adopt
ed is, however, not yet settled; some
are in favor of consolidating the whole
area, lowland and upland, into one gi
gantic plantation, writh a single mill;
others believe a division into two cor
porations of more moderate size to be
more advantageous both for capitaliza
tion and development.

arrived to survey the line for the Oahu
railway, and has since been employed
as engineer in most of the road and
plantation projects promoted by Mr.
Dillingham and his associates. Mr.
Kluegel has not previously been to this
island and will require some time to
make himself familiar with topograph
ical conditions.
The road through the Olaa district
will probably be constructed first, and
work will commence in the near fu
ture. Rails have already been ordered.
The line through North Hilo and Ha
makua will follow more or less closely
the Government road,. though It will
have its own roadbed and will be run
so as to touch the various mills along
the coast. ,Mr. KluegeJ will make his
headquarters here and wilT bo most of
the time Jn this vicinity until the roads
are completed.
Engineer Clias. II. Kluegel went to
Puna yesterday in company with H. R.
Rycroft to go over the route of the
proposed railway . for the Puna plan
tation. T
NEW LAND FOR SETTLERS.
E. D. Baldwin and W. A. Hardy
have spent a portion of the week in
the new Olaa section appraising tho
lands soon to be put on the market by
the Government. TCie conclusions at
which they have arrived tar not given
out hy publication, as they must be
first submitted to the land commission
ers and are subject to alterations by
them. "
The lands are found by the apprais
ers to he very fertile, richer in fact, it
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
gressing rapidly, and that another
three miles will soon be given out for
contract. It is suggested that the
money appropriated for cross rvads, a
portion of It at any rate, should be
applied to the new main roa3, as the
general absorption of the old lands by
the sugar planting interests renders a
number of these cross roads unneces
sary. ."

This is the Chief Feature of a

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 va3 a gala day instead
of being a single racei
The horses started at 3 o'clock sharp.

while Jim Quinn held tfie ribbons over
Violin. The first heat went to Direc
tress by a good margin in 2:24. When
the second heat started the spectators
sw Quinn pull up and start to turn
around. But when he isaw Directress
still going he started after her al
though a quarter of a mile behind. Of
course Directress trotted over' the line
an easy winner.
It afterwards developed that , when
the second heat was started Jim Quinn

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. .
