was much variety Of style of costume, and evil
dence. that many particulars of etiquette had not
been fully arranged. On such an OCCASION. in the
presence of the chief representative of the nation,
grande toilette should be de rigueur ; and a proper
precedence of officials, especially of Foreign Repre-
s,ntatives should be observed.

Y THR DUST AND Mr.. DoDD.-On a very dusty day
during the past week, everyone was enquiring after
the water-caIts. and pointing out to his ~neighbor the
recent announcement by Mr.. Dodd that he would
water the streets without charge during the winter
months. They were not aware that the Makiki
reservoir had only two feet of water in it, and that
the department had been obliged to refuse O supply
for the water-carts. Such however was the case,
and those who made rude remarks the other day
will no doubt now hasten to apologize.
THE EUGENIA M. RRIGGs-It has been affirmed
that the ADVERTISERS statement of the facts in
that case. does injustice TO the Captain and owner"
The statement in question was taken from the sworn
evidence of the Captain and his crew. The state
ment as to the Insurance law and usage, bearing on
the case. was that of an expert in such matters and
if the evidence given in court conveyed the whole
truth, the differences drawn from it by him, may be
accepted as unassailsble.
CHINESE ENTERPRIsE.-Mr. Tong Wing Sing, the
Canton agent, (not Mr.. Tong King Sing, the Manag-
ing Director)of the China Merchants Steam Naviga-
ton Company, has gone to Cuba to confer with the
Csptain-general about establishing a line of Chinese
steamers between China and Cuba by way of Suez.
They would probably touch at Marseiles, Barcelona,
or Gibraltar. After comforting with the Captain
general. Mr.. Tong Wing Sing will return to China by
way of Europe. going from Cuba to Southampton or
Liverpool. and thence by way Of Brindisi.
81 A case of some interest to our local auction
GERS was argued yesterday before their HOnOrs the
Judges. The auctioneers who pay a heavy license
for their right to WELD the hammer dispute the JUS
,ice of the permission given to Commissioners of the
Court to sell lands, belonging to estates which they
administer, by public. auction. The immediate OBJ
ject of the motion is the sale of lands belonging to
the Kanaina estate, which Marshal Parke proposes
to hold on Monday. Their honors reserved their
decision, but promised to give it in sufficient time
on Monday.

day afternoon last, between the first eleven of the
Pacific Cricket Club and a team made up of about
equal proportions Of the first and second elevens

innings Of the Pacific team was q very short one, but
thanks to some fine hits made by Murphy and his
captain q tie was nearly secured. In their second
innings the Honolulu men woke up to the fact that
they might be beaten, and some respectable scores
