Mr.. EDITOR IL trust you will allow me space TO
vindicate the rider OF " Carry the News and also
to endorss the unpreIudiced views Of /" Fair Piey,.'.
as public opinion is unjustiy in favor Of Z" Boston's'
rider. II is much to be regretted that among the
spectators at Kulaokahua on the 4th OF. Ju who
witnessed the race, the majority were honest. men,
and foul riding, of course, did not have % fair play
except by him who relieved himself through your
columns on Saturday last. "Fair Play " IL q jewel
and a personal acquaintance Of mine, and his re-
markable eyesight and perception Of intent, wss
always q wonder to the village that he came from,
and where, / may add, we occasionally had races. nc
which he was conspicuous as n disinieTested party.
Frequently Fair Play % has seen at o distance OF a
quarter Of q nile any foul riding that was going on,
and even the intent and countendnces OF the riders,
and although since then years have crept upon him,
his vision is not the least impaired, but on the con-
trary is much stronger, particularly on n blazing hot
day. "Fair Play . is, without doubt. honest in his
convictions, when he sides with the big man I"
(who il is said staked his money on "Carry7 the
News" which 1 don't belicve) against the other two
disinterested judges owners Of the horses I" Sam
Morrin and Billy Taylor which 1 understand
are in training to run other stock belonging 10 the
owner of Carry the News"
From the following rule laid down In the rules Of
our village Jockey Club, Z" Fair Play arrives at his
decision
RULE IX.-The leading horse at the winning
post shall be declared the winner, and If any rider
shall! protest on the score of foul riding, il shall not
be deemed Of sufficient Importance 10 Influence the
judges against the winning horse" a. =.

COMMUNICATED


It is sad to contemplate the fact that cur old real
dents are gradually passing away, leaving but few
among US who are familiar with many Of the inter-
esting events which comprise the early portion Of the
history of these Islands. The antecedents and early
residence Of those who arrived before cur time is not
only a subject of interest TO their friends, but also
others, and il il will not be amiss, Mr.. Editor, I
would like to give q few additional incidents con-
nected with the late Mr.. James Austin. whose decease
as has been already noticed, occurred at Kapalama
on Monday afternoon last, after a short and painful
illness. He was born in the City Of Glasgow, SCOT
land, in the year 1903, and when a young man emf
gratel to the United States. Eventually he made hg
Pacific on board of o whaleship, arriving at these
Islands in the Triton, which he left 1T Lahaina In
1928. and after residing there some time, went 10
South America, where he remained n few years,
principally in Peru. Returning to these Islands, he
arrived at Hilo in 1884, and shortly after entered
the employ Of the Governor OF Hawaii (the late John
Adams Kuakini) at Kailus, which, at that time, was
an important place, and was there married by the
Rev. Asa Thurston, also lately deceased. He AFTER
wards came TO this city TO reside permanent y, and
was for . number Of years confidential clerk in the
mercantile establishment Of the late VIM. French, ftn
rear of where Rhodes building now isl Subse-
quently he and the late Capt. VIM. Bacle established
the firm Of Austin & Bacle, and for several years
transacted a general mercantile business on the
northeast corner of King and Nuuanu atrests He
was also the Efficient clerk Of the Post-cf6ce Depart
ment from the early part of the present Post Master
Generals incumbency, until i'll health compelled him
to resign that position in the latter part OF 1888.
During n residence Of about forty years on these
Islands, Mr.. Austin has been noted for his unaesum-
ing and retiring disposition. and strict integrity in ell
his transactions. In addition TO q family Of children
and grandchildren residing here, he leaves a number
of relatives in England. Scotland and Canada.

The apparent want OF interest manifested by the
people Of Honolulu in regard to theatrssal and other
entertainments Of an imported character. has often
been a su1;ec; Of comment II has also been re-
marked that such was not the case la che . good old

nights, for professionals occasionally remaining over

An Act to amend the law regulating names.
An Act relating to the marriage contract these
acts were all finally passed.
The bill to amend Sec. 14l7, Civil Code, came up
on its second reading. (Restricting the making OF
contracts TO males only)
The argument for the bill was, that under the
present law, women made contracts for service,
which were but the thin disguise and excuse for
living in adultery. The oppOsers Of the bill held
that, it was unconstitutional to forbid 4 single woman
from making a contract, and that il was useless TO
pile up legislation against an offense which was al
ready fully recognized and punishable at law. After
two hours and q half occupied in debating the subject
in all its bearings, the bill was indefinitely postponed,
PC to 10.
The bill to regulate the issuance of Royal Patents,
came up on its second reading.
The bill, rs amended, VS. passed to be engrossed.
The House then adjourned.

made his second ascension at ChillicOthe Ohio
last Saturday. The streets were crowded with
spectators from the adjoining country, and the
ascension was made at 13G O'clock. In going up
tie wind was 30 strong from the north that it
carried the balloon against the north end of
Lansing's drug store, on 2d street. The aero
naut saw what was coming, and braced himself
to meet the shock, throwing out his feet, which
struck the side of the house and turned him com
pietely over on his trapeze bar. The balloon in
