horse got tired ofthe picnic he managed
to knock a spoke out of one of the front

The custom which Cinnamon have
on Nuuanu street, and on other streets
for that matter, of throwing their slops
from the second story to the street be-
low ought to be stopped by the police
men--if they should ever conclude to
do their duty in any way. If it is not
stopped people who are obliged to pass
along Nuuanu street at night ought to
carry brick and use it il they get a
chance. A half brick would probably
be easier to throw.
DR.. Fitch has handed us copy Of
the Western Lancet published at San
Francisco which contains a long and
well-wrtten article of the subject Of
Leprosy There are both startling facts
and conclusions contained in the paper,
which will more than likely raise medi.
cal discussion here. 1t is pretty well
understood that some of the Honolulu
doctors have put themselves on record
on both sides of the question in a
slightly contradictory manner.
Mr.. Wall came into the PRESS office
yesterday afternoon and asked us if we
wanted to go through the Hoosac Tun-
mel next Friday. The book-keeper
Immediately commenced looking for
the stuffed club, but as Mr.. Wall said
he was in dead earnest and proceeded
to pay his subscription month in adj
vance, the evidence for his sanity was
against us. ooh, its only down at the
rink" said Mr.. Wall nervously as the
book-keeper put the club back in its
morocco case, ca two mile race and

Night before last, about halfpast
nine o'clock, two Portuguese are re-
ported to have engaged in a fracas on
Alakea street near Hotel street next to
the British Club. One of them was seen
partially undressed running towards the
hotel with the other fellow after him
brandishing knife. The party who saw
this much of the ARRAY is of the opinion
that the Portuguese with the knife was
after meat, as the man who was trying
to get away was Justify yelling "haul
in |" The result of the trouble has
not as yet transpired.
The annual meeting of the Royal
Hawaiian Agricultural Society was held
at the Hawaiian Hotel, last Tuesday
evening, at eight clock. Mr.. J. S.
Webb read the minutes of the last an
nual meeting. The report of the
Management was read and adopted.

Night before last some disorderly
persons in the neighborhood of Hotel
street and Adams Lane, created quite
disturbance in one of the tenament
houses thereabouts. The occupants Of
the house commenced the racket about
ten o'clock and continued it until
fully twelve. Several women in the
vicinity became frightened and at last
a roomer in one of the houses went to
the Police Station and sent up two
policemen, who, however, seemed to be
afraid to interfere and stood on the
sidewalk talking the matter over until
after twelve o'clock, when things be-
came more quiet on account of the
departure Of the spirits-or at least Of
their effects. This is not the first time
this "lttle racket" has been carried on,
but the residents of the neighborhood
hope it will be the last.
