John Bennett's Fruit and Vegetables
IN Honolulu.

Mr. James G. Swan, Hawaiian consul,
received by this mornings mail letter
from Mr.. j. S. Webb, foreign secretary,
dated Nov. %. 1886, in which he writes:
''The samples sent by Mr.. Bennet arrived
in good order, except the pears. They
excited much attention and were noticed
in all the papers. Lewis & Co., who ex-
hibited and distributed them, are very
anxious 10 know II more of those appIes
and potatoes can be sent down. They
would be glad of 100 packages of each.
There has not been such carrots tasted
here for years. They arrived in fine
condition, as did ali the other samples OF
vegetables. I should be glad to hope
that trade could be got up so that we
may receive a regular supply, but our
market is far too small to receive a whole
cargo at once of these two products
But they have been great surprie to us,
and are the finest ever seen in Honolulu"
We learn from Mr.. Swan that he has
every reason to believe that his endoaV-
ors for the past two years to establish
line of steamers between Puget Sound
ports and the Hawaiian Islands Will be
successful, as he has assurance that
steamers will be placed on the route next
season. When we do have steamers, we
can send down fruit and vegetables of
all kinds, together with our other pro-
ducts, such as hay, oats. barley, wheat,
lime, etc, which are now shipped to the
Islands via San Francisco as california
products" A direct line of steamers
will secure TO the merchants of Puget
Sound portion of the trade which now
is centered in San Francisco. Sixty
thousand tons of sugar, the crop OF 1856,
has been manufactured by SpTeckles and
the American Sugar Company, and not q
pound has come to our market direct.
The Island trade amounts to nearly
S9,000,000 annually. and is oil centered
in San Francisco. Our only trade con-
sists in lumber. which we send to the
Islands, but get no cargoes back. When
the truth Of the oil maxim that lit is not
well to carry all your eggs to market IN
one basket" they will find it TO their
profit, as well rs an advantage to the
Hawaiian Kingdom, to have their pro-
ducts conveyed to various markets, and
to have the Hawaiian flag displayed in
more than one port.

Expectation was on tiptoe Saturday
evening on the occasion of the first ap-
pearaEce OF the Port Townsend HistFi-
onic Club in the above entitled play.
The opera house was we'll filed, about
all the seats being occupied, and the
audience was held in close attention
and keen interest for over three hours.
In justice to our amateur it must be
said that they acquitted themselves with
great credit and demonstrated unusual
talent. There was some delay between
the acts in changing scenery, and some
of the more timId ones might have done
little better by speaking louder, but
these were minor defects. On the whole.
everybody voted it splendid, and some
OF the participants received the highest
praise. Excellsnt music was furnished
by Miss Nett;e Tibbals. Mr. NJ. Peyser
and theodore Christian, Using the piano,
cornet and violin.
Tho play contains SIX acts, and por-
;rIys vi!lainy. pride, the shams OF mer-
germany uppertcndom, poverty, fun,
