THE LAST REGArrA.-The race which was an
nouuced in our last TO take place on Wednesday be-
tween Mr.. Fosters Quick step and the King gig'
came off at ( PM of that day, the boats starting at
the spar buoy and pulling, each with six oars to q
line with the esplanade pier. QuIe6 step was man
ned by a crew from the Isle Of France. and the
Kings boat by a native crew, steered by David hala-
kaua. The latter won the race, coming in about
two lengths ahead. MI. Foster appears TO have
been unfortunate in selecting a crew for the occasion,
who were not in working trim, having not yet re-
covered from the effects Of their victory on the day
previous. The race does not prove. under the cir
cumstances. any superior qualities in the winning
boat. nor it is a fair test of the beeiness of the fell
lows manning the rival gigs, and we learn that her
owner is ready to try her again,
DEArH OF J. W. E. MAIKAI-We regret to an
nounce the death of this young Nobleman. He had
already distinguished himself for superior judy
ment, and the King and Chiefs began to place much
confidence in him. He was a graduate of Lahaina-
luna, and at the time of his death, held the office of
Adiutant- General. and was also a member of the
IltuSS VI Oc4S ~ NACt VI NHO 'NA 49, $1,000
81 years, and as one of the Mobiles remarked, " his
death is a public loss, for he was one of our best
men," -
A SPLENDID BoAT.-The Flying MIST brought
from san Francisco one of the handsomest-modeled
gig-boats we have ever seen here. Capt. Linnel in
forms US that while in Hongkong, this boat outsailed,
on several trials, everything that was put up against
her. Negotiations are being hal TO purchase her,
and she will probably remain here.
AN ODD1rY.-Mr. H. c. Crabb. who takes pride
in choice fowls, has shown US the product of one of
his Shanghae hens. which is an egg sir inches IN
length. 1t resembles a white beet, tapering to a
point, the upper part of it being perfect, or covered
with shell and the tapering part without a she'll.
CURIosITIEs.-Lovers of the marvellous will have
an opportunity of having their curiosity gratifed
when the goods by the Zoe are opened, as she has
brought the finest collection of useful, pretty and
curious articles, ever seen, here or elsewhere. They
will probably be sold at auction soon.
STRAwBERRIEs.-Mr. Holstien wishes US to say,
that he sends strawberries in on Wednesdays, Thurs
days and Saturdays of each week, aud those wishing
berries in quantities of ten quarts or more, can OBJ
tain them by giving notice.
BmDs.-We notice some very pretty birds brought
by the Zoe from Japan. Among them Canaries,
beautiful Java Sparrows, a japanese Robin, (resem-
bling the Cat-bird or Mocking-bird of South Carroll
and some other varieties.
STABBISG CAsE-Last week, a woman was stab
by her step-daughter, on Lanai. She has been
by Sheriff Treadway and DR., Hutchinson, of
and although the wound was deep, yet the
Doctor thinks she will recover.
THANRs-We are indebted to Capt. Linnell, of
The Flying MIST. Messrs. McRuer * Merrill, C. W.
Brooks, and f, W. Ladd, of San Francisco, for late
1apers. -
To BE LAUNcHED-The repairs on the steamer
having been completed, she will be launched at
tide tO-day-about y VI.
