heads of solid silver. In glassware there is every
thing that the most fastidious could desire; it re-
sembles the old Venetian glass of pure white ON
pedestals of pink, each individual set containing
twelve different wine glasses for almost every
known or unknown kind of wine with decanters of

The Woodward Menagerie.

The animals and birds at Woodward's Gar
dens have recently shown a disposition to in
crease and multiply. One of the seagulls has
hatche d two yOung ones, said to be the first
born in q state of captivity in the United States.
One of the eggs was in part artifcially incu-
bated, but both Were induced to give forth their
feathered contents in the mothers nest. But a
more noticeable addition to the collection by
birth IS that of three African lions, the progeny
of the liOness Jennie, born on the occasion of
the French fete. The mother and whelps are
doing we'll. Other late additions to the me-
nagerie are a kangaroo with n young one in her
pouch, a pair Of Tasmanian devils, n species of
untamable wolverines, and two native COM
paniOns. These last are birds of the crane
species. They are, however. somewhat larger,
are Of a light slate color and have n brown ring
around the head. The collection of birds and
beasts is continually increasing and affords n
constantly changing study-Of natural history.

HE HONOLULU LIBRARY AND READING ROOM.
description Of the New BuIIdlpg.

An Improvement 10 Hotel Street will shortly be
made by the erection of a new building, which has
been already commenced for the Honolulu Library
and Reading Room Association.
Tie main entrance will be from Hotel str .et the
building extending back along Alakea Street for al
most one hundred feet. On entering the door one
comes into 4 hall twenty feet by ten feet three
inches, with Il window facing Alakea Street. On
the left of the hall is a parlor 2Ox20 feet, look
ing on to Hotel Street. and behind the hall and

again will be the library 22x}O feet over which is a
large s~kylight. and all round the library q gallery
in which the books will be arranged on shelves or
in cases. Behind the library are out houses with
q side entrance from Alakea Street.
The building will all be on the ground floor, Its
front appearance being very neat with its Corinth-
ian columns and Doric lintels. 1t will have a front
age of thirty-three feet two inches to Hotel Street
and a depth Of ninety-nine feet five inches on Ala
kea. There is to be special attention paid to ven
tilation, there being no less than twelve ventilators

Isaac Moore is the architect. This building, when
completed, will be in a most central and convent

The Roston ExhIhI tIOn,

A second installment Of exhibits for the Boston
Foreign Exhibition was forwarded on Tuesday by
the steamer Mariposa. This lot includes the whole
representation of the sugar producing industry Of
the Islands, exclusive of a few samples of sugar
cane and of soils which were sent forward in the
mail steamer.
Only sixteen of our plantations deemed it worth
while to be represented at this important exhibit
ton Notwithstanding the fact that all expenses in
cidental to the packing and transmission of sugar
exhibits to the Exhibition have been provided for
by the Planters Labor and Supply Co., the Gov
eminent and the Oceanic Steam Shipping Company
jointly. Forty kegs of sugar from sixteen planta-
tions is not a fair representation of the produce of
the country. When the Government undertook the
matter they received a ready response frem the
Trustees of the Planters Labor and Supply Com
pany who undertook to communicate with all the
producers on the islands and to bear all. expenses
of preparing and packing the exhibits, and it is not
the fault of these gentlemen that the result falls SO
far below what was expected. 1t is not the fault
Of the Government for they have done all they
could to supplement the efforts of the P. L. & 8.
Co. by sending special agents to all the plantations
on Maui and Hawaii. 1t comes, however to this
in the end-sixteen plantations out Of sixty odd
have had the public spirit to pre- pare exhibits.
The other exhibits forwarded on this occasion
are a number of specimens of Printing and Book
binding by local firms. There is also a case of Gu
ava Jelly and Tamarind Preserves prepared by Mr..
F. Horn. Photographs of the Colman's Cane
Planting Machine have been sent also a number of
pictures of the King and Queen and of the Kane
Statue. Amongst other exhibits should be
three maps from the Royal School and
three from Iolani College, showing what native
Hawaiian boys of tender years can accomplish.

THE ROYAL HAWAIIAN BAND.
heir Farewell Concert at the Music Hall.

Monday night the members of the Royal Hawaiian
Band gave q farewell concert at the Music Hall
prior to their departure to-day for the Coat by
the Mariposa. The following was the programmes:
Overture:-'"The Golden Cross. -. ........ BruelI.
Aarch:-"Tannhauser, Wagner.

Cornet Solo, Mr.. Michiels.
Sullivan.
Finale:-"Rigoletto, Verdi.
Waltz:-"Remembrance, "........... Waldteufel
Hawaii Ponoi.
The opening overture The Golden Cross was
good, the second number the Tannhauser march
showed TO advantage the playing Of the clarionets
and piccalo. The beautiful composition Of Verdi,
Nabucco, was very well played and the melody &C.
compartment Of some instruments was we'll exc
cuted throughout. The Chamberlain polka in
which Mr.. Chas. Nichiels ~played::a cornet solo was
exceedingly well rendered, the notes Of the cornet
being particularly clear. The next number was q
native song and chorus called Maldnia 1.-THE name
of a wind which was not included in the pro-
gramme, this received a hearty and well deserv ed
encore in response to which one verse was repea ted.
We shall be sorry to lose our we'll known Patience
for six weeks as will Mr.. Berger's children who
beat time during the whole piece showing that
they are likely to follow in the musical steps of
their father. /
Mr.. Samuel Parker, MI. Cecil Brown and Mr.. W
H. COrnwell then trod the boards and were receiv-
ed with applause on this their maiden appearance.
They had evidently lost their cue, but ultimately
they remembered some of their parts which had
not received sufficient study. The words Homo
lulu " and I" check" were at length heard, when
Mr.. Berger received the latter and was SO over
come that he seized them all by the hands at once.
The concert closed with the Remembrance waltz
aud Hawaii Ponoi.
Mrs. Miller. Miss Miller, and Mr.. and Mrs.
M ..,A -
Jay that there were not more than one hundred
people present.

The Sprinkler.

Sprinkle, sprinkle, water cart,
How l wonder where thou art;
Never can 1 find thee nigh
When the dust is deep and dry.
When the clouded sun is set,
And the streets with rain are wet,
Then you wing your little fight.
Sprinkle, sprinkle left and right.
When the crossings, Sunday clean,
Full of well-dressed folks are seen,
Men, amid their shrieks and Oaths,
How you sprinkle all their clothes.
And when bright my boots are 'shined,"
And my hands in kids confined,
Rafting down the thirsty street,
How you soak my hands and feet.
Some day, when this deed is done.
I will draw my trusty gun,
Then we'll wonder where thou art,
8uckshot-sprinkled water cart.

REVISION of 4 Charter.

Considering the recent action of certain planters
who are members OF the Planters Labor and Sup
ply Company, in holding political meetings to the
exclusion Of subjects properly belonging to the
planting interest, it seems only proper that they
should apply for a revision of their charter to per-
nit them to undertake the work OF Cabinet making
and Of Ministerial manufacturing.
