THOSE who know what's what saw
the BULLETIN hit one nail on the
head in IFS editorial ON sanitary mat
tcrs yesterday.
A PLEASANT time was had at the
Yosemite Skating Rink last evening.
Mr.. Wall has had some painting
done inside that sets the rink off
splendidly.
A. LEADING Fort street merchant
says the business of his firm, parti-
cularly with the plantations, has
been decidedly better the past month
than the same time last year.
FLAGS are flying from Government
buildings, foreign consulates and the
shipping in port, in honor of the
10Th anniversary of the independ-
ence of Mexico.
Work will be resumed on the
Police Station after the contractor is
through with the Chinese club house.
The material is all there, and there
is no hitch about the money.
The damage by the fire yesterday
will not amount to more than SIS.
A new fence and gate is already
built, and when whitewashed there
will be nothing to indicate that there
had been fire.
The Executors sale by Z. p.
Adams & Co., of balance of stock of
Bolles & Co., had good attendance
this morning, and everything was
closed out at fair prices. The sale
amounted to about 81 900.
A STREET drill was held by the
Queens Own, commanded by Capt.
O'Connor, last evening. Skirmish-
ing, charging in line by companies,
and the manual exercises, were all
creditably executed. There was
good attendance of members.
TODAY is Mr.. Jas. Dodd's birth
day. He will he serenaded by the
Royal Hawaiian Band this afternoon,
when the boys will doubtless dis
tinguish themselves in footing up
the honors to the man who totes
them round so magnificently on
bus.
THERE was a fight over a trife,
on Beretania street last evening,
between two young bloods. There
were hard hits, falling down, rolling
over, and humping of heads, until
the one who the more affects pugi-
listic science cried enough. Then
the combatants went home sorer if
not wiser than before.
The re-opening of the Central
Park Skating Rink last evening was
largely attended. A detachment of
the band was there and played ex-
cellent music. The inside walls of
the rink have been painted white
and brilliantly reflect the lamp light.
The floor is perfect in every respect,
the sound of single pair of skates
on it being almost inaudible.
WE are glad to learn that the
Choral and Quintette Clubs begin
their weekly practice in the Gym
nasium building on Fort street to-
morrow, at 1880 PM. Mr.. Yarndley
has invited Prof. Hertz, of Mel
bourne, who will be present and con-
duct some of the choruses intended
for study during the coming winter.
1t is hoped that all the members will
be present, as Honolulu cannot afford
to lose its reputation as a musical
and music-loving community.

articles invoiced, whereas three
hundred and seventy-two tins of
opium were concealed in them. The
Marshal is ordered to sell the goods
at auction on the 25th day of Sep
TENDER inst. This refers to the
large opium seizure made at ware
house on the docks two or three
months ago.
