The Trustees of the Lunalilo Home are

Department at night. 1t is suggested that
the Kings soldiers might be put on al the

and the Bank-after the style of the Guards

The Superintendent of Water Works re-
| ports that notwithstanding the recent rain,
which fell as heavily in the valley back of
| the city as in the city itself, there is no ap-
| preciable increase in the amount of water
flowing into the reservoirs, as the ground
| was so dry that it absorbed the greater part
Of the rain as fast as it fell.

more than average speed. Her owner will

California, and it is hoped that Maud will
sustain the reputation she has already

Whenever the o. S. S. Companys steamers
are in port large quantity of SCOT and coal
dust is discharged from their boiler-rooms
and furnaces onto the wharf, and afterwards
| carted into the new-made land on the Es-

flower beds; and as it can be had for the
carting of it away, those who would like tc
improve the colors of their flowers should
| send for load or two.

THE REGATTA.
What the MyrtIes Have TO Say of the
Coming Event.

Some prominent members of the Myrtle
Boat Club have been interviewed with the
view of ascertaining their decision in re-
gard to taking part in the regatta that
comes off on the 28th instant. They do not
deny the fact of their having accepted the
invitation extended them by the Honolulu
Boat Club to take part in that clubs cele-
bration Of their natal day. They declined,
however, to row any match for any cham
pionship, but agreed to pit their senior crew
against that of the HonoluIus in friendly
race, to give additional interest to the sports
Of the day.
They now feel rather sore at the idea Of
having to match their boat against that
procured by their challengers since the in
vitation was accepted, and to further COM
pete against crew that have placed them
selves in the hands of an experienced oars
man like Mr.. Seeley. They contend that if
these preparations had been made for the
regular regatta day, November 10th, they
would not have given the matter second
bought except to have congratulated their
opponents on their smartness in getting
ahead Of the Myrtles in the matter of boat
and a trainer. As 1T is, they think that the
introduction of a new boat is rather tricky,
and they feel unwilling to help their rivals
to what they may look upon as a foregone
conclusion-that is, the defeat of the Myrtles,
Upon being questioned i'll regard to their
opinion of the class the II. Y. & B. Clubs
new boat should be placed in, they illus
trated by diagrams their reasons for calling
her an out-rigger and not a barge. In
reply to the question as to whether they
would row or not on the 28th instant, they
declined to speak positively, preferring to
take little more time before announcing
their final determination.

CITY ScnYen~in=.

1t may not be generally known that the
rubbish carts which gather the debris
placed in front of dwellings for removal do
not undertake to be all day about the
work Captain Brown, who has charge of
this work has given notice that rubbish
must be put out for removal before 10
O'Clock a. m, but many people will wait
until high noon or afternoon before cleaning
up, and then wonder why the dirt cart is
not on hand Immediately. 1t may also be
- to state that the field of the scavengers'
operations is confined to the area bounded
by the water front and Punehbowl street on
the east, Nuuanu street on the west, and
Beretania street on the land side. There
are not enough carts available to extend
operations beyond these limits.

The bricks are on the ground for the con-
struction of a new club house for the
Chinese Union, on King street opposite the
Station-house. Mr.. E. B. Thomas is the
con tractor. The building will be COM

two storys high, and finished in the same
style as the brick building on Nuuanu
street, below King street. Though outside

second story. The Chinese society which is
putting up this building is organized TO aid
any Chinaman who may need help. 1t is q
wealthy organization, and exercises great
influence over the Chinese on these islands

Sketches of Mani.

We have had an opportunity of examining
the sketches of Maui made by Jules Tavernier,
the we'll known artist, during his recent visit
to that island. There are several which will
make charming pictures when finished
One of these, showing the leading features of
the landscape at Spreckelsville, promises to
be a work of art which will add TO Taver-
nier's already high reputation. With pencil
and brush he is doing a great and useful
work for Hawaii, and should receive from
our opulent fellow citizens the professional
encouragement he deserves

time their grandchildren in the mother

CIVIL CASES.
In the case of Kahanaupunui VS.. Captain
Trip, jailor of Oahu prison, for false i'm
| prisonment, continued from the I'd inst.
Messrs. Kinney and Peterson appeared for
plaintiff and Mr.. Antoine Rosa for defendant.
| The plaintiff claims that he was entitled to
have some ''good conduct" time taken off
| his late term of Imprisonment. Mr. Rosa,
! for the defense, argued that the Marshal of
! the Kingdom should be the party to the
suit, and not the jailor.
Judge Bickerton dismissed the case for
want of jurisdiction over actions for false
| Imprisonment.
Other civil suits for debt, ETC., occupied
the time of the Court until 1.30 p. M.

Interview with the Maine Sculptor.

A New York Mail and Express reporter
finds Sculptor Simmons ga well-built, broad
shouldered man" with ga sort of Napoleonic
head" In a conversation Mr.. Simmons said
that he should return to Italy in few weeks
to begin work ON some statues that he had
to execute for several distinguished men.
Two years after the close of the war Gen.
Grant sat to Mr.. Simmons for bust The
General, says the sculptor, was in excellent
health, talked great deal and was very
pleasant. There was a remarkable gentle
ness in his manner and a sincerity that in
dicated great goodness of heart. His head
was not large, being 22i inches in circumfer-
ence, but it was finely shaped. Mr.. Simmons
says that he used to be more of a believer in
phrenology than he how is, and that in his
observations he has been surprised to find in
some of the most remarkable instances the
opposite of the rule to be true that, other
things being equal, intellectual power de-
pended on the size of the brain. Napoleon's
head did not measure more than 223 inches
in circumference; Voltaire's was small, as
also Shelly's and Byron's. 1t is especially
noted in history that Raphaeps head was
small. WashingtonS was not large, nor AL
exander Hamilton's. Mr.. Simmons believes
that the frock coat and trousers will give way
in time to dress more artistic. AT least that
is his hope. The inartistic character of the
costumes in our day cripples sculpture very
much in representing the life of our times.
in Boston," says Mr.: Simmons, "they
went in for a lot of froek coat stat
ues, and now that they have got them. they
say that they are very bad and lay all the
blame on the poor sculptor. But have seen
a great many statues in the world, and |
think those in Boston and New York, VIII
average as well as any," Being asked how
the King and Queen Of Italy were liked, Mr..
Simmons replied that they were very popular
and really good people. The King has dis
played a patriotism and generous nature that
has won the hearts of his subjects. The
Queen is very accomplished and far above
the average in intellectual ability. She new
er forgets those who have been presented to
her. and is versatile linguist. She speaks
English tluently and is fond of reading
American magazines.
