ingly slight, are in the aggregate important it may
be said that with respect to the arrangement and
care of the books, the completeness and accuracy
of the records and the various details of admins
tration, the library is in better condition than at
any former period of its history.
From February 1st to date-eight months-hfty-
two perhaps have signed the membership roll at
our rooms. Owing to the absence of dates on the
old roll it is impossible to report the number
who have joined during the earlier part of the
year. 1t must be remembered that many of those
who put down their names are visitors or tempo
rary residents whose term of membership is very
transient Add to this the inevitable loss of old
members from death, removal and voluntary with
drawal, and ii will be founo that our accesslons
though seemingly considerable, are little more
than sufficient to make good our losses. COM
pete list of the actual paying members at any one
time can only be obtained from the books of the
treasurer.
Overtures have been made behalf of the
organization known as the Boys Reading Room,
looking to winding up of the operations of that
society and the transfer of its effects to this Asso-
citation. Owing to the departure of MIR. @. A.
Brown, who represented the Boys Reading Room
in these negotiations, no definite conclusion has
been yet arrived at. 1t is the opinion of your
committee that an arrangement can be made
which will be entirely fair and mutually advan-
tageous. Accompanying this report is the proof
of circular which it is proposed to issue in con-
nection with the sale OF catalogues and IN such
other ways as may be hereafter decided upon. 1t
is simple and straight-forw appeal for aid IN
lions of books.
Since Mrs. Rodgers took charge of the library
in February last, a little over 2,2OO books have
been drawn out by 211 different persons of whom
127 have books out at the present time. In addi-
ton to these there two three parties having
books standing to their account which were drawn
while Miss Clarke was librarian, and which We
have been unable thus far, to get returned.
The use of the reference department is large and
constant. Of this use, it is of course impossible
to keep any record. The additions to this portion
of the library during the last year have been
numerous and important, including nearly humid
red volumes from the bequest of Queen Emma,
some of those being of special interest and value.
This department has been enriched by a number
of large illustrated works, some of these being
from the Queen Emma collection and some con-
tributed by Messrs Cartwright, Dole and others.
In view of the facts herein set forth, your COM
mittee consider that the Association has good
reason to be pleased with the record of the last
year and with the prospect of growth and useful
ness in the future. G. L. ROGERS,

A Golden Wedding.

On Friday last, October 18th, was the 10th ami
versary of the marriage of Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas
Brown of this city. Extensive preparations had
been made by relatives and friends of the aged
couple to celebrate the event in BETTING
the occasion, but unfortunately this pleasure had
TO be postponed for Il short time; owing to the
indisposition of Mr.. Brown, his physician having
ordered short season of rest in the country and
perfect quiet The many friends of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos Brown will be happy to hear of his convale-
scence and being able with his wife to participate
in their 10th anniversary-an honor which does not
fall to the lot of many married couples.
Mr. and Mrs. Brown arrived at Honolulu early
III 1886, and shortly after commenced stock rails
ing on the Island of Kauai. In 1852, Dir. Brown
left here for the United States enduring shpwreck
and detention on the way, finally arriving safely
in New Bedford. and subsequently residing in New
York October 18th, 1856 Mr.. and Mrs. Brown
decided on returning to Honolulu, and after arri-
val Mr.. Brown entered on the duties of Registrar
of Conveyances fnlflling the business of the Office
with credit to the Government and hinsef-a po-
sition which be has continued to hold up to the
present time. During his term of Office he has
served under no less lban five MOnarchs, viz: ka-
mehameha III, " and V, LunaliIo, and his pres
ent Majesty KaIakaua. His sons, three of whom
have been elected by the people to seats in the
popular branch of the Legislature, and the fourth
is in the Office with his father as deputy registrar.
His daughter is the much respected wife of the
Rev. Alex Macintosh of this city.
There were many highly priced gifts to the aged
couple and the floral offerings we're truly magnif
cent.

Report of the Hall and Library Committee
of the Library and Reading Room
Association.

The following is the annual report of the Hall
and Library Committee
HoN. S. B. DOLE, President The year just
closed has been in several respects noteworthy
one in the history of our association.
The accessions of the library have been larger
in number and of greater value than during any
preceding year, as will be from the following
statement:
Total accessions to September 80, 1sS4-fve
years and a half-2,976 volumes; Oct. l, 1884, to
Sept go 1885, 1024 volumes; Oct. 1, 1885, to Sept.
30. 1886, 1,230 volumes.
The long projected printed catalogue has been
at length completed and is now ready for circula-
ton.
The Legislative Assembly has just inserted an
item of 81 200 in the Appropriation bill, for the
purchase of books for our library, being the first
direct grant of public money made to the Associa-
ton and establishing thereby valuable precedent.
1t is believed that no one, however economically
disposed in the matter of public expenditure, can
have any objection to the granting of moderate
sum of money III aid of institution so distinctly
educational and so eminently for the general good
= well conducted library and reading room.

In nearly all the cities in the United States there
are now Temperance Billiard Rooms where no
intoxicating liquors of any description are dis
Even Sacramento, California, has two rooms of
the above descriptions each room has ten or twelve
tables and the proprietors are doing good bust

charitable purposes are of frequent occurrence, in
fact the game is becoming to be recognized as the
leading indoor amusement for both ladies and
gentlemen. These statements bring to the front
the fact that Mr. j. F. B. McCleery and Mr.. B. F.
Saylor, both professional biliardists, have had en-
gagements, with the best societies in California
and other cities in America, to display their ab-

Billiards Extraordinary.

On Friday evening, Mr.. j. F. B. McCleery of
San Francisco, an expert billiard player, gave an
exhibition in this line in the Hawaiian Hotel din
ing room. An audience of about l52 was present
to witness the gentleman's skill in handling the
cue. Only three ladies availed themselves of the
privilege of being present. Shortly after eight
o'clock Mr.. McCleery made his appearance in the
hall, and Mr. Maurice Kahai, native Hawaiian
amateur of repute was assigned to play with the
professional. The game was 100 points-McCleery
to score this number in one inning, or count
while Kahai was to aggregate 100 points.
The first part of the game was not noted for any
extraordinary playing either side-the score for
Kahal varying from hve to twenty. McCleery did
not apparently do much better. On Kahais scor-
ing sc McCleery took the cue, making a run of 80
and missed or the S1st stroke. Kahal resumed
and steadily added to his score until SO was reached
when a miss gave the table to McCleery, who
seemed cool and collected, and Immediately set to
work to put things to rights by again getting the
balls close to the cushion and manipulating them
round the table, scoring 100 points in this inning,
and winning the game by one point. At the close
of the game McCleery was loudly applauded by
the audience, many of whom were good amateur
players. Kahai also received hearty recognition
of his abilities.
An intermission of ten minutes ensued, after
which Mr.. McCleery favored the audience with
with series of fancy shots which really was the
best part of the evenings amusements, and show
ed to advantage the consumate skill of the player
The balls were were placed in all conceivable posi-
lions and the result predicted before hand with
but one failure, Mr. McCIeery also illustrated
the Balk line game which was new to many of
those presents also the " base ball shot," sending
one of the balls to the opposite end Of the table
and causing it to fly up and back to the PLAYER
who caught the ball in his hand. 1t would be i'm
possible to enumerate all the difficult shots sue
cessfully made by the champion of the cue; but
enough has been said to satisfy the billiardloYing
public that Mr.. McCeery is entitled to stand high
among billiard players.
The table used on this occasion is very hand
some one, made by the Balk, Brunswick Co. of
San Francisco, Cala and is furnished with the
celebrated Monarch cushions-said to be the best
in use.
At 1890 the entertainment closed when the au-
dience retired well pleased with the evenings
amusements, and with wish that some future
before the departure of the Champion.

the ex-Chief feeling assured he would treasure
this token of remembrance and esteem a guar
antee that he was worthy of it.

"Entero-colitis" is q convenient
term to indicate a more serious In.
aammation Of the small and large in
testines. The causes are the same
as Of cholera infantum and sssummer
complaint" The symptoms are fever
and discharges showing the products
of inflammation, matter, nucus and
blood, together with much pain and
tenderness in the abdomen. The
other bowel troubles have but little
pain accompanying them. Jaundice
(yellowness Of the skin) is not very
infrequent symptom. Vomiting may
be present--generally is at some
period. The treatment is: First clear
out all offending materials with castor
oil or rhubarb; follow with three to
five-drop doses Of fluid extract Of CO.
to bark, every two or three hours. II
this is not to be had, opium with
ipecac, In Dover's powder, should be
given in properly regulated doses &C.
cording to the age of the patient. In
this climate malaria is frequently at
the basis Of the trouble. Then some
preparation Of Peruvian bark should
be given along with the other treat
ment. Due attention to the diet and
surroundings must be given, or the
best directed medical treatment will
be useless. If opium is given in any
form, it must be alternated occasion
ally with laxative, otherwise there
will be absorption Of poisonous ma
! terials producing convulsions and
stupor, as indicated in the first part
! of this paper.
