race took place at Kapiolani Park on Saturday
which was attended by quite large crowd, and
resulted IN the victory of the fastest horse. After
this there was a general scrub race engaged in by
natives, which resulted IN much discomfort on the
part OF the declared beaten. The winner of the
race first aforementioned was the horse "Oliver,"
which won in three straight heats.
The Legislative Assembly, or a portion of them
with not unpopular leaning towards quacks last
week tried TO have the lepers placed under the
charge of certain wonderful woman who could
cure the disease. They were not satisfied with
M. Wilder's prompt offer to let her select three
cases and cure them, as q test. 1t must be the
whole hog or horse.
The first section of Mr. Hoapili Bakers liquor
ball was passed by vote of % to 20 The progress
OF the discussion was watched by a thirsty crowd
of Hawalians who sat outside of the bar of the
HOUSE. When the vote was announced, the result

give the society full house. Rehearsal will be
held Thursday evening.
The steamer australia arrived about clock on
Monday and left between 8 and A. NJ, Yesterday
taking very large number of passengers from
this city for business and travel during the coming
summer. Among the departures is that of
Mr.. Chas. I. Gulick and family for an absence
OF four or i've months 1t IS twenty-nine years
since Mr.. Gulick left Boston harbor for Honolulu
via Cape Horn. He will find wonderful change
IN that time.
The Supreme Court July Term convened, as by
law required. on Monday last as the jury was not
summoned till Tuesday, an adjournment was had
TILL yesterday morning, when the trial of Keoni
Aiko for murder at Makawao last spring was
commenced. There is quite a formidable calen-
dar this term, in which are some fourteen or ff-
teen divorce cases. Divorces are not however
quite rs common as year ago, perhaps the large
accumulation of diYorceable persons is getting
thinned out.
runaway occurred last evening on Punchbowl
street. Mr.. Kelley, the driver, had left his dray
for moment, with his little child sitting upon it,
when the horse became startled and dashed off at
full speed. Fortunately for the child young Dover,
who on the street at the time, sprang upon the
dray, secured the lines and soon succeeded in get
ting the horse under control saving the child from
injury and perhaps death. This prompt and fear
less act the part of young Dover deserves public
recognition.
A leader in last weeks Kifokoa reviews the re-
cent action in removing the principal of the Hilo
Union School. There is certainly something in
the action of the Board of Education worth
enqulrlng into, particularly IN view of the fact
that the matter of removal was in some respect
in favor of Hon. Mr.. Wahine, whose favorable
vote might therefore be expected for the appro-
priatons and any other legislation for that depart
ment- Perhaps the Board will say it is more of
the public's business. True and the public might
reply that it is of the Boards business if by
their acts they incur disapproval and lose the
general respect, SO that their acts become worth
less.
A wee bit of small boy about knee high to
some men was hauled up before His Honor of the
Police Court on Monday and gravely charged with
"attempt at arson.n Such ponderous charge
nearly overwhelmed the little chap, who said he
was not the fellow IT boy who lived at Wal
kahalulu. The facts are that some little tot or
other seen during the day, Sunday, with about

As that locality is literally crammed with houses,
it will be that fire there would be no mean
affair However our jolly, free and easy good luck
saved the town again. Probably this same fortune
will attend forever. Some people act SO at
! least.
The attention of H. a Majesty's Government is
most respectfully called to the fact that the new
Palace has reached such altitude that it be
over the barricade and the eyes of the vulgar
public often rest on its grandeur. In order that
the sacredness of the whole affair may be kept in
tact the wall had better be raised say thirty feet
or else 1t would be necessary to station the army
along the top of the fort armed with guns and
things shoot such irreverent persons as dare to
look over. This latter plan is objectionable from
the fact that in our languid climate, police officers
and Others cannot stand guard unless they have
stools to sit on, and the top of the wall is too
row for safety with stools.
