e To-day at Kapiolani Park the two rivals
Oliver and Commodore will trot for q purse of
8 1000. Fast time is expected.
= Water has been struck by the Artesian well
borers on the grounds of Judge McCuliy. The
quality and quantity are both reported to give sat-
~isfaetion.
= The Road Supervisor might fence up both
ends Of Liliha street and be blessed By drivers OF
light vehicles; as it is now, it is q hollow mockery
and q snare.
The hoodlum element also seem to be depressed
by the present state Of politics. at least they do not
seem to patronize the Police Court-business there
being very dull at present.
~ Daniel Webster, when demonstrated with BY
friends because he did not reply TO certain mean IN
situations and attacks upon his character, said

quit showing"
~ The demand for our last Saturdays issue,
the first under the new regina. was so great, that
we had to strike Of 300 more copies to meet the
extra demand. Nothing like opposition to make q

q We have received a pamphlet setting forth
the merits and success of the = Odorless Excavating
Apparatus''-s method by which cesspools and other
receptacles of filth are emptied rapidly, and without
offence to the nostIils of anyone. The pamphlet
contains minute descriptions, with illustrations. Of
the several parts of the apparatus. The whole thing
is remarkably complete, and the ingenuity with
which the pump-valves have been adapted to the
great variety of things which must necessarily be
driven. through them is most meritcrious. This
method is now in use in most Of the cities of the
Eastern United States, and the reports upon il by
the Boards Of Health Of some of the principal Of them
Of them are given in the pamphlet before us. Mr.. C.
O.. Berger is the agent here for the Odorless Ex-
cayating Apparatus Company, and we shall be glad
10 hear of q practical test Of 30 good an invention
being made in Honolulu.
q The success which attended early experiment
in Artesian we'll boring on this island caused, at the
time. q little fever Of expectation and hope. Long
borings since undertaken have as yet been without
results. and the fever has abated and given place to
q lethargic condition of public opinion and DISPOSE
ton to scepticism. Another unqualified success ia
wanted to revive interest in q matter which, for
many parts of the Kingdom, is of immense impor-
lance. As a few failures will naturally discourage
private enterprise it will be q wise thing for the Gov
eminent to make early use of the SIC, 900 voted by
the Assembly for the purpose Of making some deep
borings. Success with artesian wells depends az
much on good Judgment in selecting the locality as
in perseverance, with the bore. There is q reason fol-
everything, and the reason why one man gets water
at between 100 and 200 feet, and another finds none
after boring five times as far ought to be discoverable
and when ascertained will serve as q guide for futur,
operations.
