The breech-loading guns of the Royal
Artillery were placed on the saluting battery
grounds yesterday. 1t is to be hoped that
better care will be taken of them than has
| been bestowed on the brass guns.
The mounted battery Of the Royal ArtiI-
lery were out practicing yes terday morning
| at an early hour. The firing, which Major
Hayley reports was quite good, was mis-

expected Hartford.

world. They have also opened the corner
store formerly occupied by Messrs. Rich |
ardson & Co., with an elegant line of gen
tlemen's furnishing goods, which were Sc
lected purposely for this climate, and are |
offered at ridiculously low prices. It would
repay anyone to purchase there.
1t is surprising that cocoanut trees are not
more extensively planted on these islands. |
The drawback of course is the number of
years that elapse before they bear fruit but
years roll by, and when this fine nut tree

growing finely, and that 135, 900 more trees
re being set out in same locality by the same
'wner. This is the right kind of man for
tropical country.
