dray was backed against the curb and
the light, if there was one, was placed
upon the seat, but good many who
saw the accident say they could not
see as light AT any rate the hack
came along at a .good pace and
managed to stop itself quite suddenly
when it struck the heavy dray and
horses Some allege that one of the
dray horses was hurt. Others say not.
But little damage was done--for for a
wonder. Somebody was certainly to
blame.
Last Friday night nice little piece
of business, which falls under the head
Of robbery, was done by Mr.. George
Wilson, hack driver, and woman
named Minnie Delaney, who bears
somewhat shady reputation as to up.
rightness of character 1t appears that
this engaging couple took Mr.. Albert
Schaefer to the ong Branch Baths at
Waikiki, and while he INDUCED in the
pleasure of a both it is alleged that the
hackman and woman had the pleasure
of "going through" his clothes, from
which they extracted $r2o in coin and
other valuables. 1t is understood that
two natives at Waikiki saw this worthy
couple perform the little goingthrough"
act in question. They we're promptly
arrested and will doubtless be shortly
corrected.
The circus was plumb full-at least
the tent was-last Saturday night and
the troupe gave one of the best per
formances yet presented here, owing to
the encouragement given the actors.
Before half past seven O'Clock the
crowd was so great that even standing
room was not to be had and the manage
ment was obliged to stop selling tickets.
At least thousand dollars were taken
in. The audience also noticed and
appreciated the suppression of its repi-
titions in the details of the various
acts which added greatly to both the
performances and the interest shown
by those present The circus shows
again tonight with an entire change
of programme. Among other new acts
to be given will be "Decanter Pyra-
mid Balancing" " Fire King" econ
tortion Act" Japanese Balancing F"
and a comic ballet entitled La Statue
Blanche. Popular prices as usual.
They say That the opera is a
fraud; that the opera is as good as
could be expected for the price that
the tenor is better than others who
have been praised and paid for In
Honolulu that the people don't know
what an average opera is /; that the peo-
pie do know and wont be imposed
upon that the Tivol Of San Fran
cisco gives better opera for twenty-five
cents that the Tivoli would cost fif-
teen dollars a seat if brought here; that
the whole trouble has arisen out of our
isolation and our local jealouscles; that
the latter view is likely the correct one-it
one remembersthe singing that has been
praised heretofore in Honolulu that
the circus suits Honolulu better that
fine art that the Bulletin has made
one or more misstatements, privately,
which it will have to take back that
the true inwardness Of the Trip case
will be given to the public that the
best of intentions in journalism are not
warranted in displaying petty spite
