the Pacific Navigation Company's
building, Queen street. No one can
give feast to friends from parts of
the empire where poi is unknown,
which shall be complete without the
native dish of this region.
All over the empire the most pala-
table fish is acknowledged by ma
iority to be the salmon. No place
yields better salmon than the Colum-
bia river, Oregon. Mr. +. p.
Adams, q renowned auctioneer of
these parts, has on hand supply of
this years catch of that streams
red salmon. No Christmas table can
be complete without some Of this
fish, and it is no wonder that the
store where they are got is thronged
with people buying it up like hot
cakes.
The shop of Messrs. II. Hackfcld
& Co., one of the largest firms in
this place, is where many Of the
traders go to get their supplies of all
kinds of provisions at wholesale.
Ono of their specialties is Australian
preserved beef, which is at once n
necessary and a luxury.
Messrs. Wolfe x Edwards keep a
large grocery and provision store at
the corner of. King and Nuuanu
streets. They have such large and
diversified stock on hand at all times
that one would think, to look in from
the street, that they had scarce room
enough to turn round in. Neverthc-
less they are able to accommodate a
large custom, by good arrangement
and prompt attendance. 1t would
be impossible to tell in this letter all
that they sell. But just name any
article in their line, and you may
call for it at their shop with assur-
ancc that it will be supplied. They
receive groceries and provisions by
every steamer.
Mr.. VIM. McCandless, 6 Queen
street, and Mr.. Ed. G. Waller, who
has shop on King and one on
Punchbowl street, supply most of
the people with all kinds of fresh
meat, fish and vegetables.
There is one establishment here.
that would leave serious blank
upon many festive boards if it was
blotted out. That is the Pioneer
Steam Candy Factory and Bakery of
Mr.. +. Horn. 1t can furnish whole
feast to order, or supply the national
dishes of Santa Clausland separately,
such as plum pudding with rich
sauce, all kinds of cakes, plain and
ornamented, rich mince pies, and the
meat to make the latter when it is
desired to make them at home. His
place is the leading source of supply
for sweetmeats distributed by the
Emperor in the children's stockings
the night before Christmas.
Probably the most cnterprising
grocers here are Messrs. Lewis &
Co., Hotel street. You cannot ina
ginc dainty or luxury from any
quarter of the globe, which is cap
able of transportation in any form,
that cannot be obtained in their
shop. The variety of fruits they
obtain by every steamer makes their
shop suggestive of California fruit
exhibition. Their establishment is
positively essential to the proper
administration of Santa Clausland
affairs in this quarter.
For the lone, lorn bachelors and
coguate characters, out alone in the
cold, cold world, the best apology
for home Christmas keeping is to
be found in the Beaver (temperauce)
Saloon of Mr.. II. j. Nolte, and the
same gentleman's Casino in a neigh
boring park. Victims of the "vile
weed" can also get their consolation
in his varied stock of tobacco and
cigars, and dry characters slake
their thirst at his fountain. Mr..
Robert Donnolly keeps place he
calls "Thc Fountain at 1913 Fort
street, where persons can treat each
other to anything in the smoke or
temperate and wholesome beverage
