LATER NEWS.

By the Australia, which arrived
from the Colonies yesterday on her
passage to San Francisco, We had
London advices of the 22d ultimo,
being three days later than we pub
lished on Saturday last from the
Coast by the J. c. Ford. The forma-
ton of the Tory Government was
progressing slowly, and Lord Sails
bury intimated that he would make
a ministerial statement in a few days.
The Liberals were not willing to
facilitate business, and it is probable
that party division will take place
on the proposal to shelve the Distribu-
ton of Seats bill for the session. It
is claimed by the Tories that it would
not be possible to pass that bill and
have a general election in November.
This is inconsistent with their pre-
vious policy, which, made the intro
duction of that very measure an alb
solute condition of the Lords passing
the Electoral Franchise bill.
The outbreak of cholera in Spain is
very serious, the mortality being I'M
usually great. The official notifica-
ton of the existence of the plague in
Madrid led to great rioting. The
shopkeepers and tradespeople gener-
ally wished the fact concealed, as it
would create a panic, drive away rich
people and injure business.
There is little of general interest in
the news outside of these points.
France having got rid of it's Chinese
quarrel is now turning it's attention
to Madagascar, large reinforcements
being ordered to that field of aggres-
sive operations.
The Australian contingent with
the Soudan army had arrived in Sgd
ney, and were to be publicly received
and thanked by official representa-
tives from all the Colonies. Colonel
Haultain, an old Imperial army Off
Ger, represents New Zealand at this
demonstration.
Colonial advices are devoid of gen.
eral interest this mail. The Colonies
appear TO vie with each other in the
matter of public borrowing.

KoHALA, hawaii, June I'd.

We notice that one of our stores has come
out with large placard denying that they
sell whisky, and we don't believe they do.
At any rate, we never buy ours there. Take
in your sign and live it down.
A native made the remark few days SINGS
that we were to have pleasant weather, and
gave as his reason that it was not possible
that there was any rain left, but it seems as
though there was good stock somewhere to
draw from, for still it comes in abundance.
There are two persons in this district
nearing their fiftieth birthday, so they have
concluded to pot their ages together and
make it hundred and have golden we'd
ding. They want to enjoy looking at the
presents while they are young.
Mr.. Phelps has returned from quite a
lengthy stay at Maui, aad is now busily en-
gagged putting in the machinery for macera-
ton for Judge Harris mill.
Planting is beginning in earnest, and
never has the weather been better for this
work.
Multi mill will soon finish grinding and
will show over 1900 tons for the season s
work. Good machinery and fair dealing is
what does the work.
The new minister, Rev. Mr.. Jordan, seems
to be giving good satisfaction to the Union
Church people.

Park by the buses, which ran all day. Mr..
Dillingham;, with praiseworthy patience,
took charge Of the transportation. and never
left the ground until, at p. M, the last
load of visitors started homeward.
THE RACES.
At 2 o'clock p. m. the races commenced
on the track, close to the scene Of the days
festivities, and great many Of the people
walked over to the grand stand to enjoy the
sport The Royal stand was occupied by
His Majesty the King and party Of invited
guests.
In the first race, a half mile dash, the
favorite, Hancock, came in ahead in 81
seconds, followed by Col Gift, Garfield and
Belle of Kauai. Garfield went lame, and it
was the opinion of those who know the good
old morse best that he should never be al
lowed to lun again.
In the second race, mile dash, Mr.. Cecil
Browns horse, o. H.. was the winner,
Stranger coming in alone behind. Lady
Hooker unfor tunately broke her shoulder
blade, throwing her jockey, and coming
down heavily. The trotting race between
horses driven by members of the Jockey
Club was good natured, irregular affair,
ending in Cecil Browns Lucy coming in
ahead.
The race of the day was the mile dash for
the Fourth of July Cup, which ~as run for
by Roster Faamma and Mary D. The
first named horse won by a neck all three
keeping close together around the track.
The time made, 1:48, was only quarter of a
second behind the best ever made on this
track.
The Kalakaua Purse, for two mile dash,
was won by Langford Jr. over Hancock in
$40, much to the surprise Of the majority of
those who saw the Two animals go round
the track.
MINOR POINTS.
The day generally was observed as a pub
lie holiday, places of business and the Gov
eminent offices being closed. The shipping
in the harbor and the city itself, was gay
with bunting, chief among which was the
American flag in all sizes and places.
In the afternoon the American Minister
received those who wished to pay their re-
spects to the representative of our nearest
and greatest neighbor. The hours desig-
mated, from to P. m, were extended to
10 p. m, during which time Mr.. and Mrs.
Merrill received all who came cordially and
Hospitality.
In the evening the city was Illuminated
fitfully by flashes of fireworks from many
private residences, and until a late hour at
night Chinese bombs, soaring rockets and
brilliant Roman candles saluted the passing
have been reported, and we are pleased to
record another happy celebration here of
Americas great national holiday.

PrOvIdentiaI Escape from Drowning.
What might have proved a serious ac-
cident last Saturday, was happily averted
by the courage and GOODNESS displayed
by a few gentlemen who CHANGED to wit
ness it. Mr.. Strong, the artist, took his
little son out for a ride in canoe in the
smooth sea at Mr.. Herbert's place at
Waikiki, and getting into the channel a

FOURTH OF JULY.
How the Day was Celebrated in Homo
lulu.

The celebration of the Fourth of July, last
Saturday in and about Honolulu, was in &C
cordance with the traditions of the past in
these islands. A sufficiently varied and
comprehensive programme had been pre-
pared and at the hour of dawn those of the
ceebrants who had not gone to bed at all
the night before, began to make themselves
seen and heard. They gathered around the
imposing headquarters of the antiques and
horribles, and yelled enthusiastically as the
motley squad filed into the street. Follow
ing the detachment of the Hawaiian band
that led the procession, came about dozen
grotesque figures on horseback, the best
sustained character being that of the fool,
who, witt his traditional bladder, made it
lively for the by-standers. There was
number of more or less highly colored in
dividuals in the procession, whom the
kauakas cheered enthusiasts tically. As Marshal
of the motley mass, Miller caYorted wildly
about, mingling the front and rear of the
turnout into a blend Of color and confusion.
After 1.,sing through the principle
streets, and being refreshed with lemonade
at Mr.. Kings on PunchbowI street, the
mummers melted away, and the spectators
hastened to
THE BASEBALL GROUND
To witness the match between the Honolulus
and Paci1cs. The game was called at a little
after 10 O'Clock, and was sharply contested
until the HOnolulus put on steam in the
first half of the fifth innings, and scored six
runs before they gave up the bat. The
Pacifcs then appeared to feel that the game
was lost, and played with less spirit than
before. At the finish the score stood IS to
5 in favor of the Honolulus. 1t was after 1
O'Clock in the afternoon when the baseball
players left the field, and by that time
THE EXERCISES AT THE PARK

on the night of June 23d, or morning of

a ladies' fire gilt necklace. The thief or
thieves entered the store by boring line of

down the tongue and groove, and then broke
the boards out, leaving clear passage into

of the store has always been exposed and as

stick. Every one who knows the truth of the
matter knows that Hilo has not had any night

mounted night watchmen on duty all night
Their duty is to patrol the town from Waia-
kea to Amauulu, and they might have been
at Waiakea or Amaulu when the burglary
was accomplished. Whoever the party or
parties were, they knew all about the inter
ior of the store, knew that the watches were
left on the counter over night, and they had
their plans all laid before dark, or they
could not have hit everything they did.
