Hsilrond Notes.

The east-bound train was two and a
half hours late yesterday on the s. Z.
lines.
The s. p. Co. sent two special freight
trains east by the C. 2. & U. p. route
yesterday.
The Mathes excursion will leave the
city to-day by the California Southern
and A. & ?. Railways.
Both the passenger trains yesterday
ON the s. p. lines were immensely long
and crowded with people.
The west.bound train by the s. p.
was over five hours late yesterday, ow-
ing TO drifting snow on the desert.
SO great was the rush Of business yes
terday at the New Depot that Colonel
Sippys Cannonball train was several
minutes late in being made up and dis
patched.
The Palace cars carrying the Busch
Faust party went north yesterday on
No. 20. The party will visit Monterey
and San Francisco. and then go East by
the G. =. and U. p. route.
First class limited rates yesterday
were. The River So, Chicago $40. New
York S25. Third class tickets are prac-
tically abolished, as they are the same
to Kansas City and Chicago, and only
SO cheaper TO New York.
A Raymond & Whitcomb excursion
of nearly 100, from Boston and Mexico.
will reach here about next Sunday
week. The party for April will be u
very large one. This is only bit OF the
tail from the February comet.
The s. p. Co. and the G. 8. R'y are
sending forward the cars bearing the ex-
hibibs to Chicago as fast as they are
ready. The cars from Santa Ana and
that from Anaheim went out yesterday

Smith, Vice. President of the A. q z.
R'y; ID. B. Robinson, General Manager
of the same road; and W. A.. Bisseil,
Pacific Coast Manager thereof. They
will spend some time In this city.
The work OF driving piles for the
levoe of the L. A. & s. G.. V. X. X. was
suspended few days since on account
of lack of timber. The timber has now
arrived and the work is going forward.
| A curve in the line of the road near the
RAYMOND has been changed and happily
reduced, so that higher rate OF speed
can be obtained.
The A. 7. & s. +. R'y, very generous
ly gave orders that all perishable fruit
trains blocked by the strike. along the
Gould system in the Southwest, should
be moved by the employees Of the former
road. The generosity OF this act VIII
shine when it is remembered th>t these
trains had come from s. z. lines, with
whom the A. T. 4 s. f. is now carrying

spring Races.

The Directors of the Sixth District
Agricultural Association have resolved
to give spring meeting on Thursday,
Friday aHd Saturday. the 18th. l4th
and 18th Of May. A race programme il
being prepared, and final arrangements
are in progress, which will be announced
in few days. 1t is an experiment on
the part OF the Association, and the
uncertainty of getting out even has led
Directors to go slow in assuming re.
sponsibility outside of the annual fall

that the undertaking will be successful.

STEAMSHIP SUBSIDY BILL.

The Committee on Commerce presented
a report on Wednesday recommending
the passage of a bill authorizing a sub
sidy of 81 800 for each round trip, in aid
of a mail and passenger steamship line
between Honolulu and the Pacific Coast.
The reasons in favor OF this subsidy to
the Oceanic Steamship Company are
succinctly stated in the committees re-
port. The bill reported by the commit
tee was ordered to be printed, and will
come up in due course. The only oppo-
sition to its passage was made on behalf
Of certain banana growers from the Eva
district, who pray that condition OF
any steamship subsidy should be lower
freights upon their shipments. Has it
ever occurred to the petitioners and
their friends to think what would become
of the banana business il the steamers
in question were withdrawn, and the
carrying trade with the Coast was
again left to sailing vessels? If
there be a domestic export Gre
ated by steamship enterprise it is this
very trade in bananas. And it should
likewise be borne in mind that the sub
sidy proposed to be paid is not cent
in excess OF a fair equivalent for the ser
vices rendered to the Kingdom by the
Oceanic Steamship Company in the
transportation of it's mails and devel-
opment of it's trade, altogether apart
from the special services to individuals
and firms, for which it charges specific
rates. Mr.. Dole thinks that one vessel
only should be subsidized. This is not
a business proposition in these days of
rapid transit and sleepless opposition, as
any business man will tell him. The
Pacific Mail Company received a month
ly subsidy, and at one time refused to
call at Honolulu unless its continued |
were assured. The Oceanic |
Company is to all intents and purposes a |
home institution, and the boats which |
will earn the subsidy are on the Hawa-
ian register We hope that the bill, as |
reported from the committee, will pass. |
