AT about half past nine Saturday
morning hack driven by a Chinaman
ran away. The runaway started from
the corner of School and Nuuanu

The native military companies

Mr.. Thos. G.. Thrum offers for sale
at his store on Fort street one of the
best selected and largest stocks of ho-
liday goods ever brought to these
Islands. In stock will be found new
christmas novelties. A special holiday
edition of the poets and fine line of
Pacific Coast diarie for 1886 are
features of the display. Read his
advertisement in another column.
There is considerable complaint
made by the drivers about the
numerous small children continually
playing on the streets. Not day passes
but some horse is thrown on his haun-
ches by the driver to save some child
from being run over and it is surprising
that some serious accident has not
happened. On the corner of Fort and
Beretania streets after the close OF
school the children crowd out into the
street wholly unmindful Of the numerous
vehicles passing, and cause the drivers
very much trouble in checking their
horses in time to prevent accidents.
Last Saturday morning His Majesty
kindly presented the Missionary barken-
tine, Moyuing Star with steam
launch. Those connected with the
Moyning Star return the warmest thanks
for the present, which will be very use
full to the packet during her cruises
among the different South Sea Islands.
The present voyage of the Star will ex-
tent to the Islands of Kusaie, Ponape,
and Ruk; thence she will proceed to
the Marshall Islands, where her I'M
finished missionary work will be COM
pleted before her return to Honolulu,
about four months hence.
The grand feast and han gwen tor
the benefit of Kaumakapili Church last

natives and many foreigners had assem-
bled The feast was a regular old
fashioned kau and was hugely en-
joyed by all present The different
military companies had tent erected
outside of the church. The Reforma-
tory School Band was in attendance
