LUCKY DoGs-Last year, and the year before,
about this time there was a hue and cry after the
dogs, whose masters hadn't paid their taxes. This
year, the tagless dogs are unmoles,ei. But then,
fray, Blanche and Sweetheart who have
nothing to wear, viii not thank us for this notice.
Hon. Mn. LoNoAEA-The report Of the death Of
this gentleman Representative for Wailuku, Maui)
who was injured by the rioters Of the 18th ult., was
premature. Hopes are entertained by his physician
that he may recover, and for the sake Of those parties
to be tried for the riot, It is TO DC desired that he may
not die Of his injuries, for such an event would make
them indietable for manslaughter. Mr.. Lonoaea IS an
intelligent man. and an independent member, whose
death would be a loss to his countrymen.
AN INPRoNPTU ~SoCIAL-The officers Of the Amer
lean war ships in port, aided and abetted by a large
party of resident ladies and gentlemen of this city,
made a combined attack on the American Legation
last Monday evening, and from 8 O'Clock until some
hours past midnight enjoyed the dance to Bergerfs
music. \ delicious supper was served Il at II O'Clock.
The whole affair was an impromItu, gotten up by
the officers, and they succeeded admirably in enter
tanning their guests (the lady of Consul Nation
acting as matron for the occasion) and evidently
made His Excellency the Minister Resident feel quite
at home in his own house. Among the guests We
noticed Captain Ray Of H. b. Ms s. IenedOs, the
Minister of the Interior. the Governor of Oahu and
lady, and others of note.
a HANDSOME SoUvExIR.-The Hon. 5. G. Wilder
has prepared, with no little taste, a very appropriate
souvenir of the election of King Kalakaua, which
will be presented to His Majesty to-day. On the
day of the election, while the riot was in progress,
when the first stone came through the window of
the Hall of the Legislature Mr.. Wilder very thought
fully secured all the ballots from the box. These TO
the number of 80 are now arranged on a blue and
yellow ground, forming the shape of a crown. sur
mounted with the Maltese cross, each ballot being
marked with the initials, so far as known, of the
member who cast it. On either side appear the
names of the MOBILES and Representatives. Below
these at the right and left are the six ballots cast
for Queen Dowager Emma, with the initials of the
members voting them. In the lower corners are the
tally lists in pencil, kept by the telers at both the
late election and that for Lunalilo. At the bottom is
the report OF the tellers, Hon. Messrs. Wilder and
Moehonua, to the President, announcing the vote.
The whole is enclosed in a splendid frame of island
woods-koa, kou and andaLwood-made by Fisher.
THE P@ORTsMoUTH'S REGATTA.-The harbor of Ho-
nolulu was enlivened and the public much interested
on Monday afternoon last, by the regatta for row.
boats gotten up by the officers and crew of the L.. S.
S. Portsmouth. A large party of ladies and gentle
men viewed the races from the deck of the Ports
mouth, and among the latter were His Excellency
the Minister of the Interior and Governors Dominis
and Kapena. At about ~halfpast . o'clock, His
Majesty the King, (incOg.) accompanied by Prince
Leleiohoku, came off to the ship in his own boat,
and remained several hours, evidently enjoying the
scene. The course was two miles fros, = -4-i~L-~A
in the harbor out through the channel, around the
s~par-buoy and back. The weather was fine, with
however a pretty stiff trade-wind blowing, and the
pull was long enough to test the powers of the men
and more particularly the qualities of the different
boats. The following is a synopsis of the race, the
Umpire being Lieut.. Bigge of the Tenedos, and the
Judges Lieut.. Carter of the Benicia and Master
Danenhower of the Portsmouth:

were called % catamarans - for the occasion, being
the gutta percha life buoys which are carried by
of war. The prize in this race was well won by
the TeRedos. The negro minstrel > band from
the TuscarorG, dressed in costume, pulled about the
harbor and added no little to the amusement by their
songs and jokes. Berger and his band of music
were in attendance on board the Portsmouth, and
during the intervals while the boats were off on the
races, the large party Of ladies and gentlemen pres
enjoyed the dance on that ships roomy deck.
At 4 T. NJ, the officers and their guests partook of a
bountiful and handsomely served lunch, prepared
for the occasion. All present voted the occasion a
most enjoyable one.
Mr.. EDITOR A writer in the last number of the
ADVERTISER, who somewhat inapprOpriately signs
himself " Justice, - thinks that it is q matter Of con-
graduation that the rioters on the 18th Of February
we're not forcibly interfered with in their bloody
work; that it would have been a matter of deep re-
if they had been so i~nterfered with and their
