THE ANNUAL REGATTA

In our local columns will be found the
financial report of the Regatta Commit
tee, which is as satisfactory document
as could we'll be printed The receipts
were 81, 1876 80; disbursements, 1892 70 /;
leaving a balance in the treasury of
1868 70. Considering the systematic at
tempt that was made to beget distrust
and fOment discor4P with the view of
causing the regatta to be a failure, this
result is especially gratifying. 1t de-
monstrates that the public were not in
sympathy with the malcOntents, and the
promptitude With which subscriptions
were paid likewise shows that the result
OF the races was equally satisfactory.
Systematic training and perseverance
were rewarded with success, as they
should ever be. . "-.+
The Hawaiian Rowing and Yachting
Association starts with a. handsome
credit balance, which will encourage it
to put forth greater efforts next season.
The ANNUAL meeting OF the Association
viii bdlS Held in August next, at
which it should be determined what
cups and trophies to offer, the time being
ample to complete all preliminaries
in a satisfactory manner before the
next annual regatta. We hope and trust
that all boat clubs in Honolulu will be
represented in the Association, and that
henceforward only harmony will prevail.
In conclusion, we congratulate the Re
gatta Committee upon the success which
attended their admirable management
Of what was in some respects a very
embarrassing position. y -

Union Company fulfilling everything they
had undertaken to do.
At the Merchants and Shipowners' .
meeting, held subsequently in Sydney, a
memorial to the Postmaster General was
adopted as follows: That the pro-
posed mail contract to america Cnyolv-
ing a. transhipment at Honolulu is
most Injurious to the mercantile and
general public in this colony Atthis
meeting a direct service was strongly
advocated, and Captain Chest, ex-com-
mander Of the Australia, spoke strongly
in favor of it. He advocated calling at
FIJI and dropping out Auckland, and
thought unless a mail service were in
tended that slow steamers would suffice
A further resolution was passed: That
such interests demand that direct and
uninterrupted service from Sydney to
San Francisco should be arranged for"
\ deputation to present these resolutions
to the Postmaster General was appointed,
and the meeting adjourned.
Consequent on this popular action in
Sydney, Mr. Pearce advertised the Aus
tralia and Zealandia to run direct be-
tween Sydney and San Francisco, call
ing at Honolulu. When this fragrant
breach Of faith transpired, the Union
Company Of New Zealand telegraphed to
the Oceanic Company to arrange for
steamer to carry the,mail from San Fran
cisco, and the Alameda was assigned to
take the place OF the Zealandia, which
will probably arrive here on Thursday en-
route for Sydney as an opposition ship.
The Union Company's new ship, the
Mararora, of 1000 tons register, and one
of the finest vessels afloat, will take up
the service at Sydney on December Sd.
The Mararora left Glasgow on the 5th Dc
tober, and will doubtless be on hand in
good time II not, the Union Company's
ship Maripouri will bring the mail.
This is the situation at present, and
we offer no comments upon it. Suffice
it to say that the New South Wales Gov
eminent is bound to the contract. Every
thing however depends upon the action
of the New South Wales Parliament,
which of course may repudiate the con-
tract, but we doubt this very much in
view of the Federal compact between
the Colonies.
Ave look for the Alameda on Saturday
next, because it is past peradventure
that she will be ordered to make the
through passage In gqIick time and
should the Zealandia have sailed three
days ahead of her, we shall be greatly
surprised if the Alameda does not steam
into Sydney harbor first, although call
ing at Auckland. Official advices from
New Zealand are to the effect that that
colony and the Union Company of New
Zealand are in earnest in this matter,
and that with the assistance of the
Oceanic Company as joint contractors,
the service, as already announced, viii
be carried through, although the trans
shipment and detention at Honolulu is
very unpopular at Sydney.

LATER NEWS BY THE AUSTRALIAN
MAIL.

In our editorial column we present the
facts regarding the hitch in the Australian
mail service according to new develop
ments. As a matter Of detail it may be
stated that the Australia Is advertised 70
leave Sydney on the 1st December for
Honolulu and San Francisco direct. The
Union Company advertise the Mararoa
and the Alameda TO leave Auckland on the
8th December and I'd OF January next re
spectively, in place of the Zealandia and
Australia. The New Zealand Post Office
Department has also issued an official
statement Of the facts in the case, which
concludes as follows:
=. Negotiations ensued between Mr..
Pearce and the Union Company, and at
one time it seemed that conclusion had
been arrived at. 1t seems, however, that
the negotiations fell through, and now the
Union Company and the Oceanic Company
are left to perform the contract, while Mr..
Pearce is announced to contemplate an Op-
position service from Sydney, provided he
can be assured of a subsidy from the Gov
eminent of New South Wales.
We do not know on what basis he
grounds his hopes of getting the subsidy
The Government of New South Wales have
cOncurred in the arrangements the New
Zealand Government have made, and have
Professionally executed the contract, which
binds them to its terms until Parliament
has had the opportunity of ratifying or re-
iecting it. The Postmaster General of the
United States, too, has become party to
the contract by promising to this service a
subsidy.
The liability of the Government of New
Zealand is well within the amount author
lied by the House, with the deduction
to which it will be entitled, and the
liability of New South Wales is very small.
In short, New South Wales and New
Zealand will get very efficient service at a
| cost quite trifing compared with what
they have hitherto paid. Itappears, there
fore, that there is no reason to fear that
the decision of the Government of
New South Wales will be upset by Par
Lament, and it is quite certain Mr.
Pearce cannot offer a better service. He
will it is supposed, be running on his own
account, and not on that of the Pacific
Company, so that it will be without those
means of affording facilities for the use of
the railways for mail purposes that a
powerful United States Company are able
to give. In fact, our service will be the
recognized United States Service, as well
as that of the colonies of New Zealand and
Australia "

The DELAYED Steamers.

The towns topic yesterday was the
non-arriyal of the steamers-one from
the Australian colonies and one from
the Coast. The delay in the arrival Of
the City OF Sydney might easily be
accounted for by the heavy southeasterly
weather prevailing for several days past.
This steamship usually comes up very
light from the Colonies, and If this is
her condition on the present trip, the
head wind and heavy sea would retard
her progress greatly. She was to bring
seven or eight short-horn bulls from
Hawkes. Bay, New Zealand for Messrs.
Won Tempsky, Maui, which should
prove a valuable addition to the pure
Devon strain already on these Islands.
This is the last trip of the City OF sgd
ney under the Pacific Mail contract, and
many of his friends are anxious to see
and take leave of Captain Dearborn, her
popular Commander.
Greater disappointment, however, pre-
vailed when it became apparent that the
Alameda would not come in on time, if
indeed at all. Early yesterday it
occurred to many business men that it
might be possible to reply to CORE
spondence from the Coast by the City of
Sydney; but later on that hope was
abandoned, when it became known
through Mr.. Henry Warehouse, and
from the office of Messrs. w. G. Irwin &
Go. that it was probable the Alameda
would not sail from San Francisco until
the 18th, on account of extensive altera-
tons in her cabin and other internal
fittings. Mr.. Waterhouse had been in
formed of this by Mr.. John d. Spreckels
as the Mariposa was about to sail No
official information of the fact having
been given to the agents here it was of
course impossible for them to make any
authoritative statement, and it would
have been manifestly improper to give
expression to mere surmise.
1t may be mentioned that the cocoa
sion was improved by Messrs. j. NJ.
Dat, Jr., & Co., whose bulletin board
on Merchant street was the center of
attraction during the afternoon. 1t set
forth, in chalk writing, all the rumors
and opinions as to the cause of the
steamers detention, not little amuse-
ment being created by the absurd and
contradictory comments. If however,
the value of regular bi-monthly steamer
communication with the Coast is to be
estimated by the amount OF popular dis
appointment caused by the non-arrival
of the Alameda on schedule time, then
this community is prepared to make any
concession to Messrs. Spreckels and the
Oceanic Company to insure it.

Thc Morning sta, Returns.

The missionary steam barkentine
Morning Star, which left this port Thurs
day morning for the South Seas via Hilo,
returned to Honolulu early yesterday
morning, on account OF bad weather
While at anchor in Kealakekua Bay,
Hawaii, the vessel was struck by squalI,
the anchor dragged, and several of the
sails were carried away. The sea was
running very high at the time and Cap
tain Bray thought it best to return TO
Honolulu. The lost sails will be re
placed, and she will probably remain in
port a week.
