Last night at ten minutes past ten
o'clock horse and buggy dashed past
the Yosemite Skating rink along Queen
street, toward Fort street. Just before
the runaway reached the rink fresh
native policeman ran out towards the
horse and caused him to take another
start AS the rig passed the rink Mr..
George Patterson, hack driver, sprang
from the sidewalk, caught the hinder
end Of the duggy, climbed into it over
the top, which was fortunately down,
caught the reins, and stopped the
horse by the time he Ieached Alakea
street Mr.. Patterson Immediately
turned the vehicle around and pro-
ceeded to tie it up, when the fresh
native policeman took it from him and
drove it to the Station House. The
horse had a broken rope upon his
neck and had doubtless broken away
from some hitching post Native
policeman seem to be in the way when
not wanted and out of the way when
ever their assistance is really called for.
In this case Mr.. Patterson deserves
the credit of stopping the runaway.
Yesterday afternoon about half past
four o'clock, an accident occurred at
the bridge near the Waikiki road where
the Casino road turns off from the
main thoroughfare. DR.. Webb and his
wife we're riding in brake and had
just turned upon the bridge in question
when the horse stepped upon broken
plank. The plank was broken in the
middle. When the horse stepped upon
it the end of the plank flew up. The
horse SHE'D and started to run, throw
ing Dr. Webb out of the brake. He
received several scratches. DR.. Webb
called to his wife to jump, but she did
not do SO. The horse ran away toward
the Casino Mrs. Webb stuck to the
vehicle. The horse ran about a mile
and stopped at place where the doc
tor had been in the habit Of taking
him. There was fortunately, no da-
mage done, although Mrs. Webb was
badly frightened and has been confined
to her room since from nervous exhaus-
ton. 1t is great wonder that Mrs.
Webb was not seriously injured or fatal
ly hurt as the road over which this
horse ran is crooked and winds among
the trees.
Mr. F. l.. Clarke has been busily en-
gagged, during the past few weeks, in
stocking his fernery in the rear of Will
Jams photograph gallery on Fort street,
and now has between forty and fifty
varieties of Hawaiian ferns growing.
The interior of the fernery presents a
very pretty appearance, and we think
Mr. Clarke's experiment of domesti-
eating Hawaiian ferns will prove sue
cess. During short visit we paid to
the fernery yesterday morning we were
shown a number of varieties of these
beautiful plants ready for transfer to
home fernerys, and though our slight
knowledge of ferns does not enable us
to give their names, yet we could not
help admiring their graceful forms and
bright tints of green. A pretty device
of Mr. Clarke's is that of growing
punches of the smaller varieties in
pearl shells Another attractive form
is that of MOSES of aeriel roots covered
with moses and ferns. Additions are
being made every day to the number
and variety of ferns and MOSES and
"the fernery" will soon be one of the
"show places " of Honolulu. Mr.
Clarke deserves praise and encourage
ment for inaugurating this new enter
prise,
