Yesterday morning at about, half
past eleven o'clock, while Jack Cousins
was practising some new and difficult
feats on the back of horse, he meet
with very painful accident. The
trick consisted in turning somersault
on the bare back of the horse while
going at full speed. He had turn six
or seven when he made too great
leap and in coming down missed the
horse falling very heavily to the ground
with his leg under him, dislocating the
knee-cap When Cousins struck the
ground his leg snapped so loud as to
impress those present that it was broken,
but fortunately the results were not SO
serious. 1t is sincerely hoped that he will
be around in few days-as sound or
ever. Cusco seeing suspicious look
ing bottle on the table in the sick
mans room was not long in consulting
its contents. The sweet smile of salts

They say: that there's millions in
the rain; that the Mechanics crew has
been treated unfairly; that tine after
glow is the result Of the retail saloons;
that the coming regatta will not be a
success unless the general row is
stopped this morning; that the Post
Obit Club is to be recognized; that
the oil poured into the troubled waters
last night on Hotel street didn't stop
the rain; that several prominent society
ladies in Honolulu are engaged in
smuggling opium; that the Honolulu
juniors are busted and will not enter
the race; that the best of men some
times 60 to extremes; that the Hotel
street young man is to fight wordy
duel soon; that the men who talk the
most about politics are the men who
know the least; that there will be start
ling Developments in boating circles
after the coming regatta; that the next
church fair in Honolulu will be great
success; that the best of poi is made by
a few clean Cinnamon; that the notice
of the new Hawaiian Dictionary, to be
published by the Ad0srtiser was copied
by the S. f. Chronicle from a Homo
lulu newspaper; that one of the Homo
lulu newspapers never found this fact
out; that the somewhat funny political
situation of Hawaii will have funny
ending; that the ram last night was a
bonanza for the hackmen; and that all
the words to be found in Webster's
dictionary would not suffice to retail
Honolulu gossip.
