The Daily bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Hawaii]) 1882-1895, 1885-12-14

THERE was o good attendance at
Levey's sale of jewelry and other
goods this forenoon, and the bidding |
was maintained WITT spirit.
PROGRAMMES have been issued for |
musicale at Oahu College on Mon
day evening next. The entertain
ment will consist of two parts, eight
numbers in each, and will doubtless
be one of the pleasantest events of
the season.
A HANDCART belonging to a native
ran away on Queen street, near
Brewers this forenoon, almost
causing u stampede of horses, which
probably looked upon the audacious
vehicle as infringing on their privi-
leges. The cart was carelessly left
unfastened, and, being caught by a
heavy gust of wind, went flying with
great velocity along the street. One
of Hustace & Robertson's baggage
teams was hitchcd near Levcy's auc-
ton room, and the fugitive handcart
ran violently against the wagon,
almost overturning it and putting
the horse into tantrums. A saddle
horse, tied up at the same spot, rose
on his hind legs to the startling nov
city of the occasion, and exhibited
his pluck by trying to gett off on an
even start if it was going to be
race. However, the horses were
Quoted down and the handcart was
perambulated back to the starting
point of it's wild career. Now that
handcarts have become infected with
the runaway mania, while so many
| of them are in use, people on the
streets can never consider themselves
out Of danger.
