people on Maui, and is expected here tomorrow
from LAhaira.
TuE IRREPREssIBLE-Some two or three years
ago, Mr.. F. Vehliug, an enterprising German
American. set up the business in this city of manu-
featuring friction matches. By industry aud per-
severance he succeeded in getting his Hawaiian
made matches into pretty general use. in spite of
the c~heapness and good quality of the Boston card
article. Now. however. we notice that a Chinaman,
who probably learned the art by being employed
in Mr.. Nehling's establishment. announces his
" Hawaiian Match Factoryn-somewhere in Homo
lulu, bat declined to give our reporter the street
or number OF his mandatory for fear, as be
said. that If he told he would be made TO pay a
license d" For ways that are DARK, etc.
4. o. F.-The regular meeting Of Court Lindsay,
No. goo. A. O.. F., was held At Knights Of Pythias
Hall on the 18th inst. Considerable business was
transacted. among which was the election Of officers
to fill vacancies existing. and this list as now COM
pleted is as follows His Majesty the King, David
kalakaua. Chief Ranger; His Exceleney Minister
Foreign Affairs, John NJ. Kapens, Sub-Chief Ranger;
William B. Wright. Treasurer; Samuel McKesgue,
Secretary; Alfred Foster. Senior Woodward; Albert
Huggin, Junior Woodward; John Dickson, Senior
Beadle; Frank Godfrey, Junior Besdle. The regular
meetings of the organization occur on the second and
fourth Tuesday OF every month.
DANGERoUs.-The attention of the Road Superyi-
sor is hereby particularly called to the bad and real
ly dangerous condition Of two places on the sidewalks
on the public streets. The first lie on Nuuanu street
mauks of Beretania, in front of the residence Of Mrs.
Drew, where a pedestrian after dark might be un-
pleasantly and perhaps disastrously made aware Of
the existence of q . hole in the grouud."t The Sec
ond is on the south side Of Emma street, just above
a small Chinese cake sellers shop, where a plank is
missing from the middle of a covered drain. A per-
son walking on this sidewalk on a dark night is liza
BILE to step one foot into the hole, at the risk of break
ing a leg. Also a number of other mud holes and
places on the side walks and in the streets.
THE Boat RAcE-On last Saturday afternoon q
return match between the viotors of the race of the
LIST inst, the KapiOianis, and their defeated oppo-
nents, the Ldckdtoannas, took place and was witness
ed from start to finish by eager and interested look
ers-on. There we're some few changes made-in
boats and crews-which~ seemingly redounded to the
benefit ofthe LdckGtOannGS, as in this latter contest
they came in the vIctors, having rowed the distance,
three miles, in 81 minutes and SO seconds. the Ra-
piolani coming in 40 seconds later. Considerable
money changed hands on the result, the natives bav-
ing backed the Kapiolani heavily, but unfortunate
ly were not on the right side to win. The unhoped
and unlocked for result affected the instruments Of
the band to such an extent as to delay the usual
but after the la~chrymation of the per-
formers had subsidized the Star Spangled Banner :"
was given with sufficient zest to satisfy all hearers
that the situation was accepted, and the LGckaDan-
mas welcome to the miniature bonanza struck in the
result.
