SOMETHING New AT D1cxsoS's-we were re-
Gently shown Two very handsomely colpured
large size photographs of their Majesties( the
King and Queen, finished by an artist recently
arrived from San Francisco, and now attached
to Dickson's establishment, Fort Street. The
new process gives the appearance or a painting
in oil, but retains. the accuracy Of the photo
graph.
TWENTY-FIVE lines of the highly valudbLe space
of our contemporary were last Wednesday devo-
ted to a puerile attempt to correct a patent typo
graphical mistake in the figures of the distance
which we laid down between Iquique and Auck-
land, $3.50 miles, as well as the crushing out of the
tail of seventeen. Balaam's animal has quite enough
to do to mind his own tail and keep out ~"
from the ballance-sheet of his own journal.
FIFTIETH ANNTvERsARY-On the 7thI6Y July,
1927, the Rev. j. A. Bacbelot, with Mr. Short,
a Iayman, arrived at Honolulu. in the French
ship Comet, from Bordeaux. They were the
first Roman Catholic missionaries to these Islands.
For a full account Of the difficulties and com
plications which followed their arrival, We refer
our readers to Jaryes' History. We understand
that the Catholics Of Honolulu propose to cele-
brate their Fiftieth Anniversary in the islands
on Monday next. -
Ap1Eu TO TIE "FASroxE."-The departure OF
n. B, NJ. 8. Fantome, Commander Maquay, took
place last Thursday. During her stay Of ten
months in our waters, We have received many acts
of attention and kindness from her commander and
officers, which require special notice. She was
kindly placed at the disposal Of the Royal Commits
sion to examine into the resources Of the country,
thereby greatly facilitating its lsbOrs. Our friendly
intercourse with her gentlemanly officers for 50
many months renders us indeed sorry to bid fare
well to such genial and courteous guests. Her
sailing on Thursday was an occasion Of unusual
interest. Governor Dominis and staff with q num-
Der of invited guests remained on board until out
side the harbor, where the KIGHeG with their
Majesties the King and Queen on board lay to, to
say farewell. After cheers and the dipping Of flags
on the two vessels, the RIaseG proceeded on her
trip to Kauai, and the steaua-tug Pee, which with
the band had accompanied the two vessels outside. |
after receiving the visitors from on board, steamed
twice around the FaHtoms and with cheers and
tossing Of hats babe her Q last farewell. and steamed
back to port. IIu EAL0g
