day, affordng two very good days
for tho operations of the Govern
ment survey party.
HEAVY rains fell yesterday on the
mountains in Maui. The streams
were all full, and supplied copious
inigation for Messrs. Horners' cane.
The present style of cane culture in
Lahaina is immensely superior to
anything of the kind ever seen there
before. The Messrs. Horner are
evidently excellent farmers.
The Firemen's Benefit by Flyers
Circus last night was a great sue
cess. An overlooking tent s,imu-
lated the performers, and the pres
ence of the king distinguished the
occasion. Very profusc illumina-
tions with colorcd lanterns were pro-
vided by the members of the
Department. About 5000 were
realized for the firemen's sick fund.
THERE is q miniature skating rink
at Waikiki, Maui, which is we'll
patronized. On the opening night
they took in 500, but where the peo-
pie were slowed is the question.
They use the Excelsior skate exclu-
sively. Prof. T. E. Wall, of the
Yosemite Skating Rink, graced the
Wailuku rink with his presence yes
terday, and his skating was greatly
admired by the ladies'.
THOSE five thoroughbred colts that
came by the Claus Spreckels n few
days ago for u. S. Spaulding at
Kealia, Kauai, were shipped by the
steamer Jas. Makee this afternoon.
They were very wild and one of
them kicked the second mate on the
leg with telling force. They were
ultimately backed into the bay to be
slung and hoisted on board the
vessel.
Mr.. A. H. Kenyon, who arrived
by the Zealandia and returns by the
same vessel, carries away with him
a wealth of Oahu scenery in his
portfolio. His sketches, done in
water colors, are very well executed.
and doubtless many of them will
adorn the illustrated press of Mel.
bourne. Mr.. Kenyon has, it is
pleasing to know, formed high opin-
ions of the country and its possibi-
lities. His return, it is to be regret
ted, is fastened by news of the
illness of Mrs. Kenyon.
MIR. j. M. Daigle, machinist, died
at his house last evening, after an
illness from blood poisoning of nine
or ten days. He will be buried by
the knights of Pythias, the funeral
taking place at four o'clock this
afternoon. Mr.. Williams has fur
nished handsome casket to the
order of the Knights. Mr.. Daigle
was French. Canadian, several
years resident here, and probably
somewhat over middle age. He
leaves young Portuguese wife,
whom he married about six months
ago, and, it is said, owned a good
deal of real property in and about
town.
A WHITE nurse-maid employed by
Mr.. w. S. Luce attempted suicide
at the latter's house, Waialae, be-
yond Diamond Head, yesterday. She
took a heavy draught of laudanum,
but Mrs. Luce observed the act and
took such prompt measures as saved
the girls life. DIR. Henri McGrew
was called, and administered emetics
and restoratives, bringing the pa
tient round. 1t appears she was
afflicted with a hallucnation that
she was going to lose her situation
and be turned helplessly adrift.
There was no intention on the part
of her employers to dispense with
her services.

spirits when they left Honolulu
Thursday evening, but were some

potatoes. Bunting and flags were
flying at Kahului when the steamer
arrived there. The party rode in
the train to Waikiki, then ten miles
through the cane at Spreckelsville
and visited the mills. Everyone was
pleased with the trip, particularly
DR.. Robt. McKibbin. The steamer
made the distance from Kahului to
Kaunakakai, about 43 miles, in three
hours and ten minutes, with so
pounds of steam. Eighty-two revo-
lutions we're made by the propeller
with the same pressure.
