This evening the new game of "Par-
sian poolP will be introduced at the
Hawaiian Hotel billiard parlors, and
will be played on the beautiful exhibit
ton carom table, which was last even
ing set up and placed in position.
This table is Of the very latest design,
and is exceedingly rich in appear
ance, the frame being beautifully
inaid and placed on rich gold
and black cast-iron supports. 1t is
the best production Of the cele-
brated manufacturers, the Brunswick
& Bake Billiard Company. Much
interest is felt by our billiard experts
over the introduction Of this new game,
as it is said much skill and science is
required to play it. Doubtless large
crowd will attend this evening, and
Manager Graham informs us a fine
fish chowder will be served to the
guests.
A large and extensive sale, which
will be continued on next Tuesday
evening, will commence this evening at
seven O'Clock sharp, at the auction
room of Messrs. Lyons & Cohen, at the
corner of Fort and Queen streets. The
stock is one that has been selected to
meet the times, and takes a place be-
tween extravaganza and the cheaper
grades Of goods In looking over the
stock person is struck with the cheap
ness and elegance Of the goods offered
for sale. There is nothing "shoddy" in
the entire exhibition The stock is
replete with fine brc-a-brac of all
kinds One Of the features of the dis
play is fine line of elegant rugs, vary
ing in price from a dollar or two up
to fifty dollars. A fine lire of China
goods and tea sets, sweet toned music
boxes, toys tides, plated wares, and
elegant chromos form large portion
of the exhibit The most costly and,
perhaps, the handsomest thing which
will be offered is a fine inlaid kou
table, made by Portuguese. The
table, if bought at retail, would bring at
least $3.50. The entire stock will be
sold without reserve. Chairs will be
provided for ladies. This will be most
probably the largest holiday sale of the
season The sale of next Tuesday
evening will be continued in the same
line Of goods, but special feature of
that sale will be fine display of chro
mos and oliographs.
They say: that it was an i'll wind,
etc, that blew dust into the eyes of the
community yesterday; that the pig
question is popular one TOR discussion
among the Chinese of Nuuanu street 4;
that the man who dropped beefsteak
into lady's lap, the other day, didn't
tell of it; that the Missionary Cleaners
will be happy to meet all their friends
and acquaintance at Fort-street
Church this afternoon that Mr.. +. G..
Thrum has made a specially of fine
holiday gift books this year that the
Government is getting tired of answer
ing back that the Portuguese are
doing most of the petty stealing around
town; that the policemenare obstructing
the sidewalks that the hsimakers along
Nuuanu street have consented to give
up half the sidewalks to the public ;
that the lower end of town, back of the
Fish Market, is SO dirty that the Board If
Health dares not visit it that the most
illogical argument the Government
puts forth is, that it is doing all it can
with its limited lneans that the best
of social reforms would hardly be
effective among the cosmopolitan citi.
zens of Honolulu that the greatest har-
mony exists among the office holders /;
that the yearly statements of the
different Insurance companies show
very satisfactory'results that the new
management of the Hawaiian Hotel is
making Al. success of the "white ele-
phant; that the sewerage of Honolulu
ought to beimproved, at all financial
risks; that the Pyobon0-pn6lito claims of
the present Administration are not so
bright and not worth so much as an
Hawaiian dollar; that the programme
to be played at Emma Square on next
Monday evening will draw a large
crowd; that the linen of Athens" could
never have equaled the ''men of Homo
lulu" in political beliefs; that the ques-
ton of a road to the top of Punch
bowl hill is t., be agitated next summer;
that there IS reported to be book, to
be issued soon in San Francisco, which
will deal exclusively with social life in
Honolulu; that it will tell some funny
things and some unpalatable truths;
that the question of cheap coal rights
