Mr.. julius Smith, Superintendent of
Public Works, left on the James Makee yes
terday afternoon on a tour of inspection

away the Wialua bridge and did a great
deal of damage generally. 1t is therefore
probable that Mr.. Smith will be detained
for some time.
The ferns of the Hawaiian Islands are as
beautiful and varied as are to be found in
the same area in any part of the world. Mr..
F. L. Clarke, who has made the subject a
study, has shown us several very beautiful
specimens, handsomely mounted on card
board and decorated with the pretty MOSES
and sea weed of this district. No more ap-
propriate or elegant souvenir of the Islands
can be purchased than set of these cards.
While Dodd's big watering-cart was being
filed on Fort street below Queen yesterday,
the hose burst, sending a stream of water
over the horses. This frightened the ami
l., II nk,.
where the water cart collided with express
No. 81, driven by Chinaman, opposite the
Union Feed Company's warehouse. The ex-
press was badly wrecked and laid up for re-
pairs at the carriage factory adjoining, while
the :Chinaman led away his horse, which
was evidently gratifed at his sudden release
from harness. The express driver was
pitched off his vehicle, but was unhurt.
1t is understood that new order for the
regulation of hackdrivers is under considera
ton. It provides that no driv er shall leave
his vehicle at any time while in attendance
at balls, private parties, concerts, theater,
rink or other place of amusement. This is
intended to correct the too frequent abuse
of their privileges by hackmen, and although
it may appear harsh, is said to have been
rendered necessary.
