Messrs. Hackfeld & Co. contracted with Mr..
George Lucas, early last spring, to put up for
them one Of the largest and best constructed of
IIonolulan warehouses. Work was begun last
April, and the structure was to be completed
last July. 1t is, however, not yet quite ready
for business; although the owners are CALAMITY
hoping against hope that il may be completed
before the end of this month, and so afford
more room for goods on hand and expected
consignments.
The warehouse is building that does not
lend itself kindly to architectural adornmcnt
Business is writ on all its rectangular outlines,
business sits perchcd ON its mighty raitcrs, and
the resounding knock Of the brawny hand of
business is the "open sesame" to its pondcrous
portals Yet, If strenth and solidily and the
assurance of stable pcrmancnce bc-as Carlyle
considered them-vcfy good substitutes for
beauty, the IIackfcld warehouse is one Of the
handsomest structures in the Kingdom. If
Mr.. Lucas has bulded slowly, he has also
builded we'll As the writer said in noticing
the recently completed warehouse of the
Oceanic Steamship Company, "The commu-
nifty has a right to be proud of such a structure
in its midst"
The dimensions of the iackfeld warehouse,
which is built on the malsai side of the lot,
are I25x7oin superficial area divided into three
rooms of the following sizes 4o.6x7o, 42.6x7o
and 4o.ox7o. In the largest room, there is a
passageway 10 feet wide, which crosses a lat
eral track running the entire length of the
building. This passageway, being wide
enough to admit teams which may unload at
the car tracks, facilitates the rapid handling Of
freight in the most advantageous manner All
these rooms are lighted by means of skylights,
six to each room; and the roof of each room is
pierced by two ventiators. The walls are of
brick, 10 inches thick, there being two cross
fire-wals separating the three rooms, which
are connected byheavy iron doors, and there are
six dummy windows, at present bricked up,
but always available should occrsion arise.
The floor is made OF Portland cement, laid on
broken stone, The roof is slate. Those
readers of the Press who have not yet visited
this very creditable big bit of local building,
owe it to themselves to stand not upon the
order of their visiting, but to visit at once.

The material, magneso-calcite, was thor
oughly tested in this city at noon last Satur
day. Messrs Dillingham; & Co, the Hawaiian
Island agents for the safes, strong boxes and
jewel. cases, Of which Messrs u. 5. Brown
x Co Of san Francisco are the Pacific coast
agents, invited number Of business men,
members Of the FIRE department and newspaper
reporters, to witness the test Of the fireproof
qualities Of this material, for which 50 much
has been claimed. In connection with this
test, an exhibition was made Of the practical
working Of the lIarknf pneumatic fre-ex-
tingusher, Of which the same firms are re-
,pcctively the agents. A magneso- calcite box,
about 1890 inches in sire, was placed in a
large bonfire Of pine plankiug which had been
previously saturated with coal oil, about ten
gallons having been used. The box remained
in the intense heat Of this FIRE for exactly
thdy-seven minutes 1t was then taken out
ol the hrc, cooled and opened. Everyone
present-eNcept, OF course, the agents and
their employee believed the interior Of the
ing about the edges OF the lid when the box
was taken out The result, however, was the
exact opposite Of public expectation the only
article inside the box that was at all warm
was cigar; the nickel watch was ticking
away quite eontentedly; and a number OF
papers, silyer.patcd butterknilc and a
morocco pocketbook, were in quite as good
condition as If they had remained in the
pockets Of their owners a spectator, who
wanted to bet IS that the contents of the box
had been reduced to smoke folded his voice
like an Arab and as silently sole away Those
who remained, so far as the writer knows,
were unanimous in expressing their satisfaction
al the result.
The fire cxtinguishing test was not so salts.

unfair one. The small cxtinguishcrs used,
being intended for use in houses, are not in

enough was shown TO convince all present tLSt
the Iapiie fire. distinguishing compound is a
wonderful agent. There seems to be no doubt
of lis value in subduing fire. A machine of
from fifteen to twenty gallons capacity would
probably have put out the bonfire at the foot
Of Richard street, last Saturday. in something
less than two minutes.
Although the attendance at their exhibition
was not large, the agents have a right 10 be
both pleased and proud at its results.

The game Of baseball last Saturday after.
noon, Antilles VS.. lionolulans, was disap.
pontment TO the large crowd who had
gathered to witness it, as well as a surprise to
both of the participating clubs. A close and
exciting game was expected by all, but, from
the beginning of the third inning until the
close of the game, the playing of the Antilles
was a mcrs SERIES of errors, giving the Homo
lulans an easy victory--score ~ to 1.
The great weak point in the play of the
Antilles, was the fact that they had not prac-
ticed together previous to the game as they
thought the lIonolulans were not going to be
able TO strike their pitcher to any effect. 1t
would be considerable 10 expect OF any pitcher
to win game with support of players who
have scarcely had ball in hand since last
season, and this seemed to be what the
Antilles expected of Mr.. Eckle, their pitcher.
This was undoubtedly great mistake and
one that will teach the Antilles as well as the
aspiring baseballis,s Of the future, no, to
tackle such team as is Whilney's Homo
lulans, without deal Of practice and real work.
The Ilonolulans played aAadmirable game,
and deserve much credit. The audience
seemed to be greatly disappointed with the
game las, Saturday, but trust il will not tend
to diminish the attendance. am sorry that
MIR. Ellis, who So generously offered n purse
OF $50 for the winning nine in two on, Of three
games between the Antilles and lIonolulans,
should receive so little satisfaction for his
money; but il is expected some good games
VIII he played during the next four weeks, and
all players will be glad to see Mr.. Ellis ON the
ground. This afternoon the Ilonolulans will
play team from the Pensacola, and it is ex.
pecledthey willmeetthe Oceanics again, a week
nom to-day, As the players changed posi-
tons so much during the game, il is impossi.

The Honolulu Iron Works IS now complct-
ing lis forty .sixih sugar mill, 6nleth vacuum
pan. thirteenth double effect third triple effect
and one hundred and eighty-sccond boiler.
Some Of the machinery built by our local

The works have been under their present
management for over thirteen years. The
shops have been from time to time extended
and equipped with the most improved tools Of
both American and English manufacture until
these workshaye been acknowledged by compe
tent judges from abroad to be, in completeness,
second TO none ON the Pacific coast Neither
pains OF expense has been spared in procuring
the best Of skilled workmen, most suitable
materials, and most improved designs Of sugar
machinery, which is the principal class Of work
required.
Many OF the best working and largest plants
in the islands, have been furnished by them,
and in every case, when started, have gone off
without the slightest hitch. II required, the
works could employ from 500 to 600 men, and
make the output Of machinery more than the
requirements Of our planters is likely ever to
reach.
At present, the number Of hands employed
is one hundred and thiry-fye, and the amount
paid out for wages every second week is about
ST. 500.
1t is worthy Of notice, that these works,
equipped as they are, form standing guaran-
tee to every planter against delay and loss, in
case Of machinery breaking down or being de
stroycd by FIRE
II is the intention of the company to build
their boilers in future of homogeneous E"
iron, or what is sometimes called "mild
Steel thus preparing for higher pressure,
which means greater economy Of fuel, coupled
with greater safety, and gets rid Of any posi-
bity Of blistering of plates, which has so often
caused great delay and expense, by having to
tear away the masonwork and put in new
plates to replace the animated or blistcrcd
ones.
