lulu. A stand for the Royal Hawaiian
Band should be erected in the circle at
the center of the grounds, where sutfi-
cient shade already exists, thanks to the
forethought and liberality OF the Hon.
Mr. Cleghorn, who planted thrifty ban
yam trees there two years ago.
Rustic seats might also be
provided for visitors to the Square, and
especially in the vicinity OF the band
stand, as at Emma Square. 1t is sug-
gested, when an appropriation is pro-
posed for parks and squares, that cheese
pairing economy will not manifest itself
in the Legislature. 1t is the truest kind
of economy to spend money judiciously
in identifying the capital city, for rea-
sons heretofore set forth in the ADvER-
TIsER.
1t is suggested that in the repairs to
be done to Waikiki bridge the use Of
timber for roadway will be dispensed
with as far as practicable. The first
idea which sight of this wonderful
visitor is that lumber must be exceed
ingly plentiful and cheap in this country
when so many thousand feet of it is
practically wasted. AS a specimen of
road making it is unique. Let the needed
repairs be made to the bridge by all
means, but let the rotting planks form
ing about four-fifths of the existing
structure be removed and a permanent
road take its place.
It has been suggested that the statue
| of Kamehameha the Great be removed
from the grounds fronting:Aliiolani Hale
On King street, and placed in the center
of Palace Square, where it will be seen
to greater advantage.
1t is probable that we shall have sew
eral national ships in harbor soon, but
the larger vessels must lie at anchor out
side owing to the light draft of water Oh
the bar. Her Britannia Majesty's ship
Triumph, carrying the flag of Admira
Baird, will remain outside. This in
wolves considerable expenditure, a:
steam must be kept up all the time, anC
therefore forbids anything like lonl
visit. If the entrance to the inner har
Dor were deepened sufficiently by blast
| ing out the reef, 80 that vessels of thu
largest tonnage might enter, this incon
venience and expense would be avoided
while the business of the place would b'
benefited by the much longer average
stay of national ships at this port. 1t Ii
suggested that the Appropriation bill
next session should make provision TO
this improvement at the bar, while thu
inner harbor should also be dredgeC
thoroughly to give greater and deepe
water space than at present.
1t is suggested that the moribunC
Honolulu Athletic Association shoulC
gather itself together and shake the DIR,
bones of its indifference, now that tn
season of athletic sports has opened. l
is stated that the membership ha
dwindled down to a number when tn
withdrawal of a single member would
under the bylaws, compel a winding u
of the association and distribution O
the property, of whatever value it ma.
be, among the survivors. This is hardl.
satisfactory state of affairs. There i
surely spirit enough in the young men c
Honolulu to keep up an Athletic Associa
ton. If not, the fact should be demon
strated in some other way than by per
hitting the existing organization to di
