ing last, of those interested in horse racing, for
the purpose of making arrangements for races
on 18th of June. Kamehameha Day. The meet
ing was held at the Commercial Reading Parlors,
and owing to short notice the attendance was
not numerous. Mr.. H. A. Widemann was called
TO the Chair, and Mr.. E. A. Pierce was chosen
to act as Secretary. A committee was appointed
to make the necessary arrangements, but on the
motion of Mr.. W. G.. Irwin, seconded by Mr..
Cecil Brown, it was rescinded, and a temporary
committee consisting of Messrs. H. r. Macfar-
lane, w. g. Irwin, Cecil Brown, JAS. DOdd and
Captain Trip, appointed TO make preliminary
arrangements and report to a meeting of which
fuller notice should be given. \ suggestion was
made that the committee should consider the
question of a permanent organization for such
purposes as this, like the Jockey Clubs estab-
lished elsewhere. We congratulate the public
who appreciate well-conducted field sports, that
this matter is now taken in hand by gentlemen
who inspire an assurance that our turf sports
will be conducted in an honorable manner,
that will not countenance the public sale of
pools, or any intrigue on the course. to mar the
effect of an inspiriting display of noble animal
action.

THE COMET.

According to the astronomer of the San Francisco Bulletin the comet which
 has Of late been seen in the heavens, on
 Sunday was nearer the sun than it has ever been before or will ever be hereafter provided it does not fall into the sun, or
 does not fall on the earth. It has al- ready reached its nearest point toward
 the earth, which is SS,O00000 miles.
 But to-day it will be within about 5.O00,-
 coo miles Of the sun. Its orbit carries
 it, therefore. much closer to the sun than
 to the earth. The comets tail IS about
 half million miles long. It can be seen
 with the naked eye on any bright night.
 All the old superstitions appear to be re- vived with the advent of this comet. Dire
 events are to happen. Comets portend
 calamities, war, epidemlcs, and so on.
 The only events in this latitude of i'm
 Portance are clustering zephyrs cool. dry weather and some increase of profanity consequent on the electrical condition of the atmosphere. l. is an
 'olf year" But 1t does not appear that the comet has anything to do with these eccentnciues. Yatwe Bear faint uu- dercurrent of prediction that something Is to happen; that a comet within 5,0O0.- GOO miles of the sun means mischief
 Now the literature of comets is rather scant. We have heard what the astron- omers have to say about them, and the
 wonder is not that they know so much, but rather that they know so little. A comet is an elementary world in vapor- ous and misty condition. IL is void of all density. II one were to fall into the sun, the illumination might be a little brighter, and the weather so hos that there would be an extra hopping of bald heads, and some further increase of ob- | jurgations. IT the comet were to fall upon the earth, there would probably be a bad smell, and that would be the eud of the calamity.
 At present the comet Is not to be blamed for any irregularities of the weather. Proctor exp sssed an -ncau- tious opinion that the comet might do some mischief. But he IS rather given to wonder mongering and to the ventilation Of fanciful theories. Comets always furnish the occasion for some forebod- ings of calamity. But probably more innocent comet never appeared in the heavens than that which has now ap- preached within five million miles of the sun. The number of comets which have been drawn into that luminary will never be known, unless a record IS kept in the salamander safe in the sun. But be- cause the exact fact is not known, the number may as well be set down at ten thousand, Iaore or less. The present cometis IS of large size, and Is a stranger to astronomers. That tail of half a million miles k rather extravagant. But as long as the comet does no mischief, we shall wish it a pleasant voyage through space, with regret that at
 present there are no earthly means of travelling in that direction.

A Curious Tradition.

The Seminole Indians have a tradi- tion regarding the white mans origin and superiority. They say when the Great Spirit made the earth he also created three men, all of whom were fair cumplexioned. He then led them to a small lake and bade them jump in. One of the three immediately Obeyed the command and came out fairer than be- fore; the second hesItated while, by which time the water became muddled, and when be came up he was copper colored; the thIrd did not leap In until the water was black with mud, and he came out with his own color. After this the Great Spirit laid before them three sealed packages, and gave the black man his first choice, so that he might have chance tO amend his former misfortune. He closely examined each package, and, having felt their weight, chose the heaviest in preference to the rest, be- lieving 1t to be the best and most valu- able. The ecopper-colOred man chose the next heaviest, leaving the white man the hghtest When the packages were opened, the first contained spades, hoes and other implements of labor, and the second unf0lded fishing-tackle and hunt ing and warlike weapons; the third gave the white man pens, ink and paper-the means of mental improvement, the sO- cial ink of humanity, the foundation of the white mans superiority.
