islands is progressing in a very satisfactory man
ner. The Government has been paying especial
attention to the matter of late. Everything can
not be done in a day, but as fast as possible all the

been repaired to some extent are not to be neg
lected but thoroughly constructed as soon and as
fast as possible.

examinations were well conducted and spoke we'll

For the past three years the boat building and
repairing business in this city has been steadily
Z increasing and il has now become a considerable
industry, giving employment to a number of men,
and frequently bringing or keeping much money
in the country, which would be spent elsewhere if
we had no builders competent to do the work, as,
for instance in the case of the bark Hermann that
came to this port in a sinking condition. She was
thoroughly repaired here instead Of being merely
temporarily patched up and sent TO the Coast or
some other place where boat building and repair
ing is carried on upon a large scale.
Unanticipated and unannounced, a number of
gentlemen called on Governor Buckle at the prison
Thursday. All of the party had examined similar
institutions abroad, and they were curious to see
whether Hawaiian jails are managed as veil as

that the jail was conducted in a perfect manner,
and that the whole institution equalled anything
they had ever seen. This is another feather in the
cap Of Governor Buckle.
