LAST Monday night at $3.50 O'Clock His Majesty
sent the band to serenade the Honorable ElIwuod
L. Thorue at the Hawaiian Hotel.
sTaE Honolulu Base Ball Club has been pr2ctic-
ing lately, with = view 10 having 4 match on the
Recreation Ground on the +th.
WILLIAM HoRAN offer. to trot Diamond =
against any nativs-bred horse in the Hawaiian
Ialands, for money. See challenge. So
The L. =. steamer Hartford left port Monday
last to take some soundings, and returned yesIeT-
day. She has sailed again for the coast.
A NUMBER of the marines and sailors from the
French man-of-war were ashore yesterday, and
they present a very neat and robust appearance.
TIE heavy rainfall Saturday night will doubt
less have the effect of replenishing thu reservoirs
that supply the city with water and relieve the
minds Of those who have been endea voring to
create an excessive alarm.
BUSINESS. yesterday, appered to be livelier than
for some time hitherto. Evidently Kamehameha
Day created i demand for many commodities, for
al unusual number Of people were out shopping in
the afternoon.
As yet very few or no sailors Or marines from
the Z. >, steamer Essex have visited the city. In
view Of some cases of absence without leave from
the L. ). steamer Hartford, it is probable that
caution will be used about permitting privates to
land.
TEE Police Court record was rather long yester-
day, but it IN fact included the arrests for three
days, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday last, and con
sideriug the celebration of the 18th instant rs =
holiday, the average number of arrests was not
large.
TIE moon light concert given by the Hawaiian
Band last evening at Emma Square, was quite we'll
attended, and the music discoursed was fully up to
the usual high standard of excellence that HAS

ADVERTISEMENTS for the DAILY p. c. ADvERTIsEK

THE ship that passed port Monday, bound west
ward, stopped in the neighbJEnOod OF Waianae
where she drew in towards shore, and last night a
gun was fired from on board of her. She is evil
IDENTIFY in search Of Honolulu hlrD,r. Mr.. Rich
ardson, at Waianae, reports that she seems to be an
iron vessel.
The portrait vi Miles Bros. horse Langford Jr.,
which Mr.. J, L, StronssJr. has finished aud HING.
on exhibition IN Messrs. Lycan 4 JohnsSns show
rooms, represents the horse at full speed making a
mile on the Park track in 1.47 We should judge.
Mr.. Strong has succeeded in portraying the action
of the horse ia = very spirited style, and We con-
gIatulate the Miles Bros. ia the possession Of both
horse and picture.
some eccentric or mischievous individual has
been amusing himself Of late by sending anony-
nous letters through the postofhcs to several OF
the fair young ladies of this city. These epistles
contain nothing positively atrocious or even dscid-
eddy Objectionable but they have been in some in
stances little annoying and are evidently writ
ten with 4 view Of doing something smart If
the author is discovered it is likely that he will be
made to repent, and atone for his aud
insOlence.
TuIs evening Mr.. Maccabe, who has already
proved his ability to entertain aud amuss before
two large and select audiences in this city, will
give another performance with 4 totally new pro-
gramme. Great curiosity is expressed as to how
Mr.. Aacca6e will peTsOults the entire drdmatis
persona VI the burlesqus drama which he pro-
poses 10 present but 40 one for = moment doubts
his ability to do 50 after having seen his rapid
transformations on the occasions Of lis former
entertainments.
Do those who live some distance from the shore
ever think how attractive the harbor j. these moon
light nights? Nor l-e4lly pleasurable boat ride
hire Il neat little craft; get 50 Of your friends
who are good companions OF singers to accompany
you aud row out into the harbor at night when

mild sheen over the docks and shipping, and are
mirrored in the placid silver surface of the waters.
Then, if yon have 4 particle Of sentiment or ro-
nance about You, there will be no difficulty in
finding sufficient enjoyment. Nature assumes her
fair. resplendent aspect once ! while especially for
our benefit; and those who belong to the society for
the prevention Of cruelty 10 animal. particularly
ought to patronize nature and Luna.
TIE new o.. =. :. warehouse Is already nearly
two-thirds full. The cargo Of the Suez Is being
placed in 1t. and about l2,010 bags Of sugar
brought from the other islands are placed under
its roof. There are $4,000 bags of hour on the
cement door, the greater part Of it having been
taken from the Suez. The trucks aud track used
in moving freight from and to vessels at the wharf
work like a charm. Everything about the ware
house has evidently been designed by an ex-
perienced and practicable man, but We think that
the building might safely have been made even
larger than it is, in vie" Of the probably large in
crease Of shipping in the near future.
A L,EGE party Of visitors j. expected to go to
Hio. Monday, on board the Likelike to visit the
volcano. which it i said, now presents an un-
usually interesting sight. No one can obtain an
adequate conception of the real appearance of the
volcanic crater without paying it an actual visit.
Some idea can indeed be obtained from pictures
which have recently appeared in foreign illustrat-
ed jornsls, but = mere picture Ia never quite the
thing however nearly accurate it may be. A late
number Of the 5. +. Wasp gives a very authentic
colored illustration Of a lava dow in Hawaii, re-
presenting q burning river falling into 8 lake. Nv
the judicious use Of colors the artist has succeeded
in making a very realistic picture and after ha7-
ing ones curiosity excited by such a drawing the
desire to see the original, ii it exists, is natural.
Tbs picture Of the Wasp will DO much to induce
foreign visitors not to so away from these Islands
without seeing Kilauea.
