A startling sensation may be expect
ed by the residents of this community
soon. One of our unsoplusticated
youths, with sad and thoughtful mien,
with hastless life and uncut teeth,
threatens the publication of novel Of
his-own composition with one Of the
Honolulu's numerous bellies as the
heroine--a chance for the police autho
rites to show their good will towatd the
people.
The Circus last Saturday night had its
usual large audience. The expectant
faces plainly showed the admiration
felt when difficult feat was success
fully executed, and the enjoyment de-
rived from Cuzco's antics was immense.
The show finished with the excitings
teeple chase. The horse ridden by
King did some xcellent clean jumping,
and the King un donbtedly deserved
the laurels.
Saturday afternoon an Amusement
in the shape of a risky horse and
frightened driver was gratuitously given
on Nuuanu street below Hotel street.
The horse kept on continual jump
making an excellent see-saw out of the
brake to which he was attached. The
animals antics were not in the least APP
preciated by the driver who would have
gladly exchanged places with any Of the
laughing spectators.
