The following is an extract from lecture
delivered in the National Museum of
Washington, D. c., by Professor J. s. Dill
Ter, of the United States Geological Survey /:
In strong contrast with the arctic condi-
ton of Mount Shasta to-day are the cir
cumstances attending its upbuilding. when
1t was an active volcano belching forth
streams of fiery lava that flowed down the
slopes now occupied by ice It is a battle
field OF the elements within the earth
against those above it. In its early DAYS
the forces beneath it were victorious. and
built up the mountain in the face of wind
and weather, but gradually the volcanic
energy died away, and the low temperature
called into play those destructive agents
which are now reversing the process and
gradually reducing the mountain toward
q general level A microscepical examina-
ton of the rocks of Mount Shasta reveals
the fact that it is composed chiefly. if not
wholly, of three kinds of lava. Several
small areas of metamorphic rocks occur
within its borders, but there is no evidence
to show that they form any considerable
portion of the mountain. From
the fact that there are three kinds of lava
In the structure of Mount Shasta, it must
not be concluded that they all issued from
the same volcanic vent, nor that they were
effused from three separate and distinct
openings In reality, contributions to the
npbuilding of Mount Shasta have been
made by over twenty volcanic open
lngs, of which two have been prin-
cipal and far more prolific than
all the parasitic vents combined.

OF her immense yield of butter was her

broke loose one night and consumed
over 200 pounds OF prepared food in a box

INCIDENTS OF THE DAY.

His Majesty the King arrived upon
the ground about IL a. M, and with
him in the royal stand were their
Excellencies the Minister of Finance
and the Attorney General, with quite
large number of ladies. The Royal
Hawaiian Band was in attendance all
day, and played at frequent intervals.
The Royal Princesses LiliuOkalani
and Likelike arrived at later hour,
and joined the party in the Kings
stand.
The grand stand, as we'll as the pri-
vate ones, were filled with interested
spectators, among whom were many
ladies. The fence beyond the stands
was lined with carriages filled with
people, besides many on foot, who en-
loved a view of the races free.
At times the track opposite the
judges stand was crowded with
people, even little boys .swarming
about, much to the annoyance of the
horses and their riders. The rule in
regard to w hom are entitled to be on
the track while the races are going

on is y strict one, and it is the duty of
the clerk of the course to see that it
is carried out.
There was much good-natured fun
INDUCED in by those gathered in what
may be styled the "betting paddock"
and sufficient amount of chaff and
badinage going on to keep things
lively. There was no drunkenness, it
may be said, and very little naughty
talk INDUCED in.
The various officers whose duty il
was to carry out the programme
arranged for the occasion, did as we'll
as could reasonably be expected.
There were those who criticized the
judges, clerk of the course, starter
and jockeys Unfortunately, but, az
q rule, their carping may be taken for
what it is worth.
The facilities afforded for going to,
and coming from, the Park were
good, and the new arrangement for
charging one dollar for admittance to
all public parts of the race ground
saved vast amount of trouble.
In conclusion, it may be mentioned
that the arrangements for the comfort
and convenience of the representa-
tives of the press were very good, and
fully appreciated, at least by those
who aim to publish original reports of
all such public events.
There were no accidents or offenses
to chronicle, and the public have
cause to congratulate themselves
upon the days amusement provided
for them by those who had in charge
the arrangement of this very pleasant
celebration of Kamehameha Day.
To-mOrrow's edition of the DAILY
p. c. ADVERTISER will be illustrated
with more caricature sketches of iu-
cidents of the races. A few copies of
yesterdays illustrated edition are still

KAMEHAMEHA DAY.
A Full Report of the Races on the
Eleventh of June.
Races, Horses and Riders Described
Scenes and Incidents Of the
Day.

The races at Kapiolani Park came
off as advertised, and were LARGELY
attended.
The day was an exceptionally fine
one, Il gentle breeze from the hills,
where light showers hung all day,
tempering the heat of the sun. Long
before the hour announced as the
time of starting, the road to Waikiki
was thronged with carriages, people
Oh horseback, and not fe Y on foot,
all with their faces set raceward.
By 10 a. m. the grand stand and
the private stands were we'll filed,
and precisely at 1890 the judges and
timers took their places.
Captain Brown rang the signal on
the bell repeatedly, but nothing
could induce those in charge of the
horses entered for the first race to
forego the customary delays. The
entries as announced in the pro-
gramme were as follows

FRIDAY
June 18th.
THOUGHTS ON KAMEHAMEHA DAY.

Yesterdays race meeting was one
of the very best proofs that could
have been given of the moral in
fiuence of public sports on popular
gatherings. Under proper manage
ment there is no spectacle more iu-
teresting or more thoroughly enjoya-
BILE than a well contested horse race.
There is nothing brutal or democrat
izing in it. On the contrary, thorough
bred horses enter into competition
with each other with as keen a spirit,
and as ardent an ambition to excel,
as ever well-trained and high-spirited
men do in contests of strength, en-
durance or intellect. The events at
Kapiolani Park race track yesterday
demonstrated that very great merit
has been attained in breeding and
training running and trotting stock;
but it demonstrated still more fully
to the trained eye what yet remains
to be done. There is wide field for
Improvement open to our breeders
and trainers, and with the superb
climate and available pastures of
these islands we doubt not that in
time this field will be fully occupied.
There is money, as well as enjoyment
and pleasure in it, for while this
world lasts the interest in horse racing
will never die out.
This. in sense, is repeating our
remarks anticipatory of the races,
but the points will bear repetition.
Another feature of the day was the
thorough enjoyment OF the immense
concourse of people, native and
foreign born, brown and white, rich
and poor, young and old. There is
something fascinating in such a spec
tacle. It is the visible expression of
a natural impulse. 1t conveys the
idea of complete and perfect satisfac-
ton. There is nothing wanting to
the happiness of the people. There is
no ''aching void'' in their hearts.
The measure of their enjoyment is
s'heaped up. pressed down and run
ming over" as it were. And this is |
precisely what was intended when |
the day was set apart by the Legisla- |
ture as public holiday. 1t was to
be a day of innocent, rational recre-
alton and enjoyment, and it COM
pIetely fills the bill.
Those having special charge of the
morals of the community would do
well to take note of these things.
They convey a valuable lesson if it
were only learned and applied. More
outdoor amusements are absolutely
needed in this country if the standard
Of morals are to be kept up to the
deal which the very sincere and
Woodworking body of men and women !
