The cavalry then proceeded to the plains, and at

panied by the Prince Royal, AMI escorted by the
Rifles, also went thither. The cavalry went through
their various evolutions and tournament practice, in
which each member had an opportunity to show his
horsemanship and skill rs 4 cavalrist. These pro-
~ceedings appeared to be enjoyed by Their Majesties
and the assembled spectators, and certainly were n
novelty and a source of much amusement to all.
About = P. VI. the exhibition broke up, and the spec
tators and various companies returned to town. Dur
ing the afternoon, the streets were alive with horse
men and women, as is customary on our holidays.
AZ Mr.. John Montgomery appears to be very
much disturbed on the rice question. and has adj
dressed two communications TO the POiyneSiGR on
the subject, as though he had been appointed a CEN
sor of the press, and the guardian of all the rice
patches growing on Hawaii nei. II he esteems him
self such, he is welcome to his opinion ; but if he has
no better grounds for entering the newspaporial ring
as a gladiator on the rice question, than he has for
appropriating the title of Pres. r. II. Ag. Soc"
the least said the better. The clause in the Constitu-
ton of that Society, which provides that the old
officers hold over in case of no election, provides also
that there shall be an annual meeting and annual
election Of officers, which was not the case. The
holi-over clause, as in every other similar constitu-
ton, was intended to apply to cases where no election
takes place at a regular annual meeting. Mr.. VI.
can, therefore, lay n very slender claim to the office
of President. and until some confirmation of it is
made, or a new election is had, it will be quite as
prudent to drop all claim to it, as he has wisely done
in his last communication TO the PolyHesiaR.
DOMESTIC PRoDUcE.-we have received from Mrs.
G. Morris of Kalihi, who has commenced the man.
uflcture of it, a bottle Of Tomato Ketchup. We have
tried it and consider it much superior to the imported
article. 1t has a freshness and peculiar flavor which
renders it a most delicious condiment. Any quantity
of tomatoes can be grown here, at a trifling expense,
and We see no reason why the manufacture and ex-
port Of Ketchup cannot be extensively carried on
and made to pay well. We wish Mrs. VI. every sue
cess. -
NARROW ESCAPE Or Saturday last, n rather re-
fractory horse was being shsd at the shop of Mr.
Duncan, on King street. \ man was placed at his
head, to which was attached a long rope the horse
took fright, the rope becoming entaugled around the
mans neck, started OF at full speed along King street,
turning round the corner into Fort street, and was f.
nally stopped near the engine-house of Mechanic,
No. ?, by a gang of prisoners, who we're fortunately
ut work on the road at the time. The man escaped,
however, without any very serious injury.
RATHER WET-Some of our inexperienced yourg
gentlemen took advantage of the strong breeze which
blowing on Tuesday last, to take n sail in the
harbOr. They had not enjoyed themselves very
before n squall struck them quite unexpectedly,
which, 10 their horror and surprise, upset the boat
giving them an opportunity to test their swimming
qualifications. They succeeded in gaining the boat
again, bottom up, from which preiicaunent they were
by another boat. Nothing yentured, moth
ing wOn,'' though perhaps a rather wet bargain

RORBERY.-On Friday night last, the office of
Judge Robertson, in the Court House. was broken in
10 through the window, and some $50 taken there
from. This is what burglars might boast Of as
,rlcticing their ART in the halls Of .Jnstira.
