calling him so,i (as His Excelleucy the Minister
of Foreign Affairs would say Hopper, having re-
turned with a quantity of new machinery. is NOV
ing into the premises lately occupied by the late
L. l.. Torbert, and from the complicated look of
the machines being put up, we fancy that he will
be able to turn out anything in the shape of a
sugar keg that may be wanted, with extraordinary
neatness and dispatch.
CULPABLE ARELEssNEss-With a few DAYS past
the work has been commenced Of repairing Fort
street, below Beretania, by carting on dirt and black
sand. Several cart-loads were Dumped about oppo-
site the Fort Street Church on Monday afternoon.
and left SO as to form quite an abrupt hill. Several
residents, going up the street on that evening on
horseback, met with accidents in consequence. two
being thrown into the dust and narrowly escaped
being injured. A little extra exertion by the men
employed. in leveling off the dirt would have saved
any trouble. -
The KAMEHAMEHA PLATE-We have examined
the very handsome piece of plate purchased by d.
rection of the government officers for the winning
horse in the first two mile race on the llth of June.
The design is a broad shallow dish of polished
silver. lined with gold and upheld on a standard
some ten inches in height. The base bears on its
surface three horses racing. and they with the
ground work of the base and a graceful spray of
ivy twining around the standard. are of frosted
silver. The design is very handsome. and the
workmanship excellent. We congratulate the
owner of the noble horse that has won for him so
beautiful a prize. -
