4 Great Difference in Razors.


a tonsorial artist, gifted with the vol
utility of his craft, remarked to a re-
porter that there was a great difference
in razoTs, and the best were American
razors. Then he warmed up with his
sub. ect, and continued:
why, Sheffield stuff cannot compare
with the true American razor, although

''All our razors are ground in Ham
burg. The Sheffield manufacturers also
send all their razors there to be ground.
All the world goes to Hamburg to have
proper edge set on raZors. Why do
not the grinders come to this country
Why, that is easily explained. They
have q good business there, and if they
emigrated, they would have none here,
for Hamburg alone is known as the
razor grinding market.

This was the most. amusing race of the
day, and caused much fun for the specta-
tors. When they started there was plenty
of wind, and the canoes sped along at a
rapid rate. The Kahohino was soon out
of the race and retired. On nearing the
winning post the other two were close to-
gether, and it was impossible to tell which
would win. At one time they were locked
together, and it was amusing to watch
them trying to get parted. When they
did so, they both sped along to the Judges
boat, passing it with the Mokauea about
couple of feet in advance. Owing to the
foul the Judges ordered the race to be

goodnight tenderly and then heartlessly drag him
