At the luau on Thursday, white lady
made the objectionable mistake of seating
herself at the wrong table, and was APP
preached by an obsequeous "understrapper,
with all the proclivities of the mule and the
sense of his paternal ancestor combined,
who brusquely ordered her to "get out of
that" The lady retired in confusion, upon
being thus sharply and abruptly accosted.
The Esplanade still remains in its filthy
condition. An interview with the Road Su-
pervisor dIscloses the fact that this public
| portion of the city front does not come under
| his supervision, but belongs to the Interior
Department, and il is for the Minister to say
what shall be done in this locality. 1t would
be good thing for that functionary to take
ride on the 'front.' and perhaps ne would
find A-holo there.
The Superintendent of the Water Works.
Mr.. G. B. Wilson, has completed his job of
laying the large water pipes TO the upper
reservoirs, tested them thoroughly by
pressure, and removed any defective pipes,
and covered them all securely. The Super
intendent further says that an abundant
supply of water is now assured to the city.
The work has been unnecessarily delayed
owing TO the recent heavy rains in the
valley.

Joe. Ryan, an old offender. was the cause
of a serions disturbance at the Cosmopolitan
Saloon on Saturday evening. The aid of the
police was called in when Ryan commenced
an onslaught by knocking them down and
then making his escape up Nuuanu Street.
He was soon captured however near the Bee
Hive and conveyed to the Station House. He
will no doubt be retired to private life by
Judge Bickerton. He is a little g too fresh
to be at large.
Last Saturday morning, from u to 1
| O'Clock, a serenading party, comprising
fife, snare and bass drums, was out on a tour
among the residents of Nuuanu avenue.
above the second bridge, and discoursed
lOud music. The serenaders succeeded in
waking nearly everyone up within quarter
of a mile of them. Many thought at first II
was an earthquake, while some concluded it
was freshet in the Nuuanu stream, and the
noise was caused by the large boulders
tumbling about IN the water. 1t was fortu-
nate for the party that the stuffed clubs "
had been mislaid, else the services of the
Coroner might have been called into requi-
sition.
The Thanksgiving choral service at Fort
street Church, which was postponed from
Sunday, the 21st, owing to the rain, took
place last Sunday evening, and drew forth a
large attendance. Mrs. j. A. Cruzan pre-
sided at the organ, and Mrs. Hessie Dickson
at the piano-the whole under the manage
ment of Prof. Yarndley. The different num-
bers were finely rendered, Mrs. Hanford
being the principal soloist, and the members
of the choir acquitted themselves with
credit. The Pastor, Rev. j. A. Cruzan, de-
hvered a short discourse on "Contentment;"
amplified with incidents from everyday life,
illustrating how Christians and Others may
be contented with their lot in this life and
be happy.
