THE Turf Though showery in Honolulu,
there was ''een's weather at Kapiolani
Park ON SatIay last. There was a scanty
attendance, al very Indifferent racing. The
fasco between ,mmodore and Oliver filled the
hearts of true hrs of sport with disgust, which
was only augmted by the unsatisfactory per-
formances of BRthorn and Mark Twain and
the trap that wasuccessfully laid to catch the
unwary by an ipromptu match between Why
Not and Lehua 1t was extremely unpleasant
for the ladies NJ gentlemen who occupied the
Grand Stand tcee the track crowded with
people before %arafter the start, and after the

attendance was enty times larger. Half-past

race, but it ala M. before the arrangements,

The Kings tour round the World, may
be regarded as an advertisement of this
Kingdom of incalculable value. Measures
and negotiations are now feasible, which
would hardly nave been entertained some
time ago;-and the Royal tour creates
great opportunities for the craftsmanship
of the country. The Kings former visit to
the United States determined the success
of the the treaty of reciprocity; although
parties chiefly benefited thereby hare neUer

the benefits to the nation, that will be the

The remedy is simple and easy let the
refineries TAX n new departure, and receive
their sugars (as they do when importing
from Manila and China at our principal
ports of shipment-say at Honolulu, Hilo
and Kahului, and at such other points as
may be convenient. This would of course
interfere with the profits of the middle
men, as now established, but were the
changes made, it may be confidently asser-
ted that all interested i'm the production of
sugar, directly or indirectly, would favor a
continuance of the present mode of dispos-
ing of the crops by contract to the reineries,
and abandon all idea Of seeking n new
market. Such an arrangement would also
tend To unite all parties in seeking the
continuance of the Treaty, with its acknow-
lodged advantages, both to Hawaii and
America.

"GARFIELD is dead" was n doleful cry
repeated on the street from mouth to
mouth, on the arrival of the w. H. Meyer,
which brought a TumOr to that effect. y
feeling Of gloom and of painful regret was
manifest in every countenance. But an
hour later, it was reported that the Jane
A. Falkinburg was coming in with her flag
flying. And hope arose, as quickly as it
had fallen and in n little while the glad
cry went forth, "He is alive ~ But not
alive, it is sad to say, with good promise OF
permanent convalescence. In the sick
m ut Washington, towards which
the attentive sympathy of the civilized
word has been turned, the angels of Life
and Death have been waging for some
time an even balanced duel but at last
accounts, we fear, in favor of the latter.
May President Garfield live. is we feel, the
prayer of every soul in the Hawaiian

The Sugar Question.

The circular Of Williams, Dimond & Co.,
which we published in this journal on the
goth Of August, relative TO the Reciprocity
Treaty, the Island sugar crop, and the
contracts under which it is sold TO the San
Francisco refineTies, has created consider
able discussion among planters. The main
points OF the circular are we'll stated, and
the argument brought forward to show
that sugar shipped TO New York via Cape
Horn, would not prove a profitable a. when
shipped to San Francisco, is probably cor
rect. All Hawaiian planters agree that
the Pacific coast, on accent of its proximity,
is the natural market for Hawaiian sugars;
for, a a rule, the nearest market is the
best. And it was undoubtedly the design
Of the Treaty-to favor this section of the
Union, by opening a market for its manu-
features and productions as has been the
actual result of his convention. Neither
Manila nor China, the former sources of
sugar supply of the Pacific States would
ever have taken in return the two or three
million dollars worth of products that are
now imported annually by Hawaii from
the Pacific coast.
The principal grievance of Hawaiian
planters a. before stated by the ADvER-
User, is not in the market, but in the aCay
their sugars are sold. Having already
been disposed of by contract to the ref
neries, a charge of ten per cent on the
gross sales is made, simply for the delivery
in San Francisco of these sugars, making
the entire cost from the port of shipment
where manufactured, to Honolulu and San
Francisco, not far from twenty per cent.
This of course includes two commissions
and guarantees, two freights and insur-
ances, with incidental charges. When to
this is added the care of harvesting and
transporting the zane from the field to he
mill, varying according TO means of trans
portation and distance from twenty to
thirty per cent. of the gross sales, it will be
seen that nearly or quite One-half of the
value of the crop is eaten I'm bot '
