DEATH or JUDGE MoNTGoVERY.-This gentleman.
a resident Of twen;y-four years standing, died in
this city on Monday afternoon. after 4 lingering
illness OF several months. Mr.. Montgomery was
born in the city Of Belfast. Ireland. November 5,
1902, and was consequently in his seventy-tourth
year a; the time Of his decease. He came here
from California in 1882, and soon after commenced
the practice Of the law. August "a, 1864, he was
appointed Police Magistrate Of Honolulu. which
Office he continued to hold until 1874, a period Of
ten years. when he was succeeded by the present
incumbent. He was noted for his taste and skill
in arborieulture and Horticulture. aud 10 his exer-
tons the public are indebted for much OF the
ornamentation Of the pleasant resort known as
Emma Square.
OUR HAWAIIAN NAsr.-On several occasions Of
late. there have appeared on the bulletin boards
in front of our Office some very well executed and
amusing caricatures of men and things suggested
by current topics Of discussion, and which have
attracted amused and admiring crowds OF both
foreigners and natives. The last and decidedly
tia I.a. - a. =
ed last Saturday morning. and which nobody
could look at without enjoying a hearty laugh
except, perhaps. the philo-C hinaman of the Gazette.
1t represented u sketch of the business portion Of
Honolulu as it will appear a few years hence,
when all the trades and avocationS Of life shall
have been monopelized by the Celestials. Even
the household troops. the government band. and
the governor of the island, were represented as
shaven-headed, que-ed and almond eyed. The
sketch has been photographed for preservation.
The artist. we understand. is a young Hawaiian. a
half-caste, who under favorable circumstances
might become a second Mast.
CoNNEMORArIoN DAY.-Monday, June 18th. IA
m%ehameha LIST Day. was first designated as a pub
lie holiday by Kamehameha V. to take the place
of Restoration Day, July 3lst. 1t vas duly oh
served in this city on Monday last by the cessation
OF ordinary employments and the very general
closing of stores. IN the afternoon there was a
drill on the plains by native volunteer soldiery,
infantry and cavalry, concluding with a sham
fight, which appears to have been almost a reality
to some of the awkward squad Horses and
men in several instances are reported TO have re-
ceiVed more or less hurts from the unskillful han
ding of bayonets. However, it was as near as we
shall ever come TO actual war, and that's a consO-
lation. A noteworthy fact was that much less
drunkenness was seen during the day than is usual
on holidays; for which gratifying result we may
thank the police authOri. les, who last month closed
an illicit Chinese grog-seller, who it appears
been doing an extensive business among the
natives.
