A NEW YACHT BoAT.-During the past week, a
new yacht boat. built in this city by Mr.. J. Murdoch,
has made several trial trips outside, and has proved
herself, as her appearance indicated. a remarkably
feet sailer. She is about 80 feet keel, and is sloop
rugged. We hear there is to be a regatta on the
Kings birthday, which occurs December 11th.
Ice CREAM-One hot afternoon this week, while
our heated imagination was trying in vain to con-
jure up a sensational item. suddenly a delightful

him. See advertisement.
SALE OF VEssELs.-The brig Francisco, (the hull
aloue) was sold on Wednesday at auction, bringing
1910. She is old and out of repair, and will proba-
bly, be broken up. The fine new schooner Gussie
Lyon, recently from Japan. was bought by Messrs.
J. E. Collyer and C. B. Dudoit, for $4,000. She has
been registered as a Hawaiian coaster, and re-
christened, Juanita. She will be run on the Maui

POLICE CoURT-Kahiamoe, who has been an in
mate of the prison for a lumber of years-having
first been sentenced for larceny, and subsequently
re-sentenced for attempts to escape and larceny
again-was brought up on Wednesday for desert
ing his work and roaming about the country. he
told several absurd lies, and confirmed in the mind
of the Court his previous character as an incorrlgi-
BILE, and was sentenced to three months additional
servitude and three dollars fine. Three cases OF
native drunk on Wednesday and two on Thursday,
were fined So each. -
Boston AHEAD.-The claim of Boston to be con-
sidered the :. hub ;, of the universe, would seem to
be well founded, judging from an announcement
which appears in the October number of our venera-
BILE contemporary. The Friend. Therein we read
that The Bostonians plan to open the Millennium
next summer with appropriate festivities" Perhaps
the Bostonians will kindly crafty our curiosity as to
when and where they propose to tie up g Old Nick"
We wouldn't b~egrudge the cost of travel to go and
have a peep at the old sinner, and give him per-
chance a sly poke for the good will we bear him.
UNDEvELoPED REsoURoEs.-There are hundreds of
enterprises that might be started in these islands, to
develop our natural resources and give employment
to our people. This often recurring thought came
up again recently when we read in a late exchange
that a splendid steam factory at Key West, Florida,
for canning pine-apples, had just been put in opera
ton. The wonderful process of peeling, slicing,
cooking, packing and Gaping the cans astonished
the multitude of citizens of Key West who were pres
emit to witness the operations. The factory employs
a force of one hundred operatives-men women and
boys. Now there are tens of thousands of acres Of
land on these islands where pine-apples will grow,
and about nothing else. The markets for the pre-
served fruit are near, and quite large enough to con-
sumo all that could be sent them from here. Hereis
an industry to be developed.

morning, Chief Justice Allen and First Associate
Justice Alfred S. HartweIl on the bench. During

We piod along for months with no public amuse-
nents whatever. beyond the semi occasional in

at whistling their favorite airs. have gone tn Mani
