the goth and sailed on the Dist instant for
San Francisco, with 1853, 675 pounds of
sugar, valued at sos, 872 90, and one pas
senger, William SIZZLING.
The American schooner Ida Schnauer,
Z J. T. Robertson, Master, arrived yester-
day, 26 days from San Francisco, with a
cargo of general merchandise and live
stock.
We have had very calm weather here
for some days. Captain Robertson re-
ports similar weather the last ten or
twelve days of the voyage from San Fran
cisco. On nearing this harbor the wind
died away to a dead calm, and as the YES
sci was drifting away toward the reef,
Captain Robertson brought her to
sn anchor about mile to windward of
the entrance. With the aid of boats from
the shore, they towed her to the entrance,
where she had again to be brought to an
anchor on account of a breeze springing
up from the southwest. She was safely
kedged to her moorings this morning.
Mr.. Geo. c. Williams looks extremely
happy to-day. The reason, no doubt, is
that it commenced splendid rain about
o'clock this morning, and has kept on
with short intermissions up to o'clock
3 p. m, and it still continues. AS rain of
this description is of lasting benefit for
months to come, it will add thousands
upon thousands of dollars in value to
the next sugar crop of that gigantic sugar
plantation which he so faithfully and ably
manages, for anyone THAT is acquainted
with it cannot help seeing the great i'm
provements that have been and are still
being made to the Spreckelsville estate.
Royal Hawaiian agricultural Society.
The Board of Management of this So
ciety held meeting on Friday evening
last at the British Club. His Honor the
iChief Justice, who is Vice-President of
/ the society, presided, and there were also
present Hon. a. S. Cleghorn, Hon. L. Nc
Gully, and Messrs. G. Lucas, A. Jaeger
and J. S. Webb. Some important bust
ness was transacted. 1t was, after some
discussion, unanimously resolved that the
society's fair for the present year should
be confined to a show of horse stock
That is to say, the Board of Management,
while providing all the accommodation
they can for other exhibits which may be
voluntarily sent, will not themselves
undertake to get up a show in any other
class than that of horse stock, and no
prizes will be offered for other descrip7
tons of exhibits. For various reasons it
seems probable that for some to come at
least, once in two years is enough for a
general show of cattle, and the principal
Exhibitors in this class concur in this
view, having indeed but little to send to
the Fair that has not already been ex-
Inhibited. Information from various quar-
tiers leads to the belief that the show of
horse stock will be full and good.
The date fixed for the show is June
18th, being the Saturday following the
Races, which will come off on the previous
Thursday - Kamehameha day. There
will only one days Fair. The hours fixed
upon are from 10 a. m. to p. IN. The
official announcement, with the schedule
4 of prizes, rules to be observed by exhibit
ors, and notice as to the arrangements
made for exhibits outside the class of
horses, will appear during the current
week.
Hon. A. F. Judd, Judge Bickerton and
d Mr.. Charles Lucas were appointed a COM
mittee to prepare the schedule of prizes,
and make all necessary arrangements foI
the show of horse stock. Messrs. Jaeger
and Webb were also appointed a com
mittee to superintend the arrangements
for any other exhibits, especially manu-
features and agricultural implements and
machinery, which may be offered fol
show. For these the large building
erected last year will be available, and az
there are plenty of pens, coops, etc., OF
the grounds, anyone who wishes to take
advantage of the occasion to exhibit cat
tie or other live stock will have accom-
modations placed at their disposal.
1t was ordered that a record should be
made on the minute book that the Horti
cultural and Produce Show, which it was
fintended to have held during the presen
month, had not been organized con ac
count of the dryness of the season and tn,
state of the society's finances In tn,
scourse of the discussion at the meeting,
came out that although nearly $50 per-
ssons have at various times voluntaril!
become members of the society, only 8:
had paid their subscriptions for the pas
{ year.
