IN front OF the ~janitor's house. His Majesty's
ministers, along with all the employees Of the
government Offices took part in the entertain

the abundant fare provided.
Flowing water was obtained at tha Gov
eminent Artesian well which has been sunk on
some land belonging to the estate Of the late
John Ii, makai Of the Waikiki road and about
TWO hundred yards from the junction Of that road
with King Street. The flow OF water Is about
equal. to that of Mr.. Wards well on King Street.
but it Is expected that by continuing the boring
some distance further through the water, bearing
rock, which is very hard to penetrate, a supply
greater than that given by any well yet bored
will be obtained.
- Her Royal Highness the Princess LiliuA
kalani is admirably pictured in a recent photoi
graph by Montana. The fine expression of
blended 3~enignItv and frmness is most faithfully
represented. The pose is one of perfect easy
grace, and majesty; and a f~aultless white cos
tune en- train, appropriately arrays the person
of the Princess. The photo before us, is of the
largest size, and produces a striking effect. 1t
was taken n few days before the departure of the
Lady from the Capital, when as Princess Regent
she was about TO make the tour of this island,
but was prevented by a sad accident. Montana
has achieved a triumph in this photo. and the
friends of Her Royal Highness, who are legions,
VIII want to possess one of these beautiful and
perfect portraits of the Good Princess.
~ A pulling race between the crews of two
six-oared boats, belonging respectively to their
Majesties the King and Queen, came off on His
Majesty's Birthday, shortly after 4 pm. Their
Majesties were present 10 see the race, being the

contested one, although far from being as fast as
was expected, but unfortunately ended in a foul.
The Kings boat had the inside place ut starting
and took the lead, but lost 1t half way, when
about turning the buoy, through the breaking of
an oar, As the boats rounded the corner of the
Esplanade when coming home, the Queens boat
was about n third of a length ahead. Her cox
swain failed to give sufficient room to the COM
peting boat, which had the inside, and n foul was
the result. At first each crew accused the other
of causing the mishap but the decision was against
the Queens boat, which would, but for the foul,
probably have been the winner. The race was
pulled again last evening, when the Queens
boat came in a winner by about two lengths.
BHA A concert of vocal and instrumental
music was given in the Lyceum last Saturday.

Taylor. The origin of the concert was a desired
to comply with the request of several ladies that
an opportunity should be given to the young
people of the city to hear ROmberg's Toy Sym

nifty, when given, was not more fully taken
advantage of, the audience. and consequently tho

but a poor compliment to the ladies and gentle
men who so promptly and kindly gave their ser
vices on the occasion. The Introductory piece
was a piano duet by the Misses Won Holt. Miss
Florence Luce then gave one of Molloy's
favorite songs, The Kerry dance" and Mr..
sang Will o. the Wisp.' The Toy

decidedly better effect than when previously
Mr.. SwanZy sung BLOW high, blow

~ Aman, Yam Chan, All Chin and All Cap,
four Cinnamon, were charged on Monday before
Mr.. Justice Bickerton with violating the Sab
The evidence against them was that they
were carrying rice from one part of the Kalihi
valley to another the rice had been previously
and dried, andthey were carrying two baskets
each. Three natives who saw them spoke TO
them about it, and they said it was only "a little
they were doing, but afterwards they
went twice again for loads. Their native cen
sors (who appear to have lately been severely
exercised in their mind by the way in which
heir heather neighbors carry on their agricul-
tnral operations on Sundays) caused them to
be arrested. The offense against our statute
was clearly proved. The excuse offered by
Aman for himself and the others ran as follows.
We had threshed ont the rice on Saturday, and
t was shOwery and we could not bring it down
about half-past 4 on Sunday it was dry, but it
oOked black over the hills, so we went and
etched it to the house; the rain came on again
1t night" The statute, however, takes no ac-
count of excuses, weather, or any other natural
phenomena, and these Cinnamon being found
guilty were necessarily fined. His Honor fixed
he penalty at 81 each, with 81. 10 for costs.
fY Two sailing races were organized to come
,f on His Majesty's birthday which excited a
god deal of interest amongst those here who
re fond of aquatic sports. His Majesty kindly
the prizes to be competed for, although
he hour at which the races were started rendered
t impossible for him to witness the contests.
The first race was for the mosquito feet of the

Giovanni and May. The Mabel is a sloop built
" Thomas Sorenson, and was sailed by F.. God

nd the latter by j. w. Robertson. The May
sailed by John Dat. The boats were started

he Mabel came in first being about three-quar-
of an hour in advance of the Emma. The
was a late third, and the May retired
the contest before completing the second
ound, the wind being too light for her. The old
ivalry existing between the Mabel, Emma and
