evening, IN front OF the Palace,
French gentleman, an acquaintance Of
His Majestys, standing near and in
conversation with the King, was I'M
tremendously seized by police off
Ger and veritable assault committed.
The gentleman resented the insult in a
forcible manner, and, as consequence
of his timerity, would have been
"jugged" but for the interference Of
Major Baker, who quieted matters for
the time.
Yesterday morning vegetable
Chinaman set his basket down'in front
of house on School street'and went
inside to make, perchance, a sale.
When he returned he found a stray
horse investigating the contents Of one
Of his baskets with apparently the
greatest interest. The indignant ven
dor politely but firmly requested the
animal tramp to "move on" A inal
computation Of losses showed that the
basket was minus seven cents worth OF
carrots, a bread fruit and two dozen
bananas. No insurance.
The circus held their second per-
Torrance last night. The audience
was only moderately large. The num-
Der would have been greater had not
the churches, the volunteering com
panies and the private rackets, taken
the day or rather night. There was no
new performance in the ring. The
pedal act by the Japanese was immense.
The after clap by the entire company
was good as far as it went, whichlwas
clear through the hearts of the
people-so to speak-the horse back
riding was as fair as any that has been
given here for the past three years, and
the tumbling and overlapping was done
to the edge of perfection.
By order Of His Majesty grand
concert will be given at the Hawaiian
Hotel this evening at 1880 PM, in
honor Of the opera troupe expected
here by the Alamedaa The grounds

A battalion drill took place at
seven o'clock last night. The different
companies formed early in the evening
at the Esplanade. The King was
present. He was dressed in suit of
black. The different companies
marched up Fort street and along
King street to a position in front
of Mr.. ]. A. Hopper's house, where
the brave soldiers went through some
three evolutions and several movements.
At about half past ten the different
companies left the place and marched
back to their barracks. The drill was
an Improvement upon any that have
been held heretofore, yet taken as a
whole was all the boys could expect
when the commanding officers were
not up to snuff. The corps generally
were disguised with their leaders
