The Boat Race.

The six-oared boat race between
crews of the Honolulu Yacht and Boat
Club came off, according to announce
ment, Thursday forenoon. A fresh
southwesterly breeze made rather
rough water for light craft. The boats
and crews were:
Seely Boat-Oscar Branch, captain,
J. H. Wodehouse, jr., stroke; Thomas
Smith, J. Dean, Z, Wodehouse, w.
Moore; Ruby Dexter, coXswain.
Griffin Boat-Alfred Branch, captain;
C. w. Macfarlane, stroke; John Holt,
C. Crozier, ]. S. Turner, 2. Hughes !;
VIM. Bruins, coXswain.
At the word ego" the Griffin boat
took first water. The pull was nearly
even from the buoy to the Inter-Island
wharf, when the Griffin boat shot
ahead suddenly by nearly a boat
length and maintained her lead round
the lighthouse. Beyond the can buoy,
the Seely boat shipped sea three
times in close succession and creaked
so badly that the crew deemed it best
to give up the contest. Their COMPETE
tors, however, rowed over the course
and, on returning well ahead, were
adiudged winners. The prizes con-
sisted of new hat for each man of the
victors to be paid for by those of the
defeated crew. c. B. Wilson, judge.

A Big Find.

Mr.. J. ?. Bowen, occupying a house
and premises on Beretania street, be-
longing to Mr. Bradley, is the hero of
a sensation. About noon on Friday,
he was seen on Merchant street with
five tins about the size of baking
powder tins. 1t appears that while
digging up worms for chicken feed in
his garden, he struck his pick into the
head of tin. On exploring further,
he unearthed the five tins about
which the streets We're in furOre of
excitement for the rest of the day.
The tins did not contain yeast, baking
powder, oysters, salmon, peaches, mos
quito powder, sausage, Eau de Col
ogne, Maile, hair oil, dynamite, mush-
room, mullet, Worcester sauce, tomato
ketchup or sardines. A thousand and
one other articles of canned goods
might be specified, but none of them
were found in those tins. The tins
contained widowed gold coins of the
denominations of SO and $50, with
United States greenbacks, folded, COM
pressed, creased and bearing undoubted
evidence of age, mould and decay.
The appearance of the whole lot shows
that the Hfindr has been under the
earth some considerable length of
time. The numbers have held their
own on the gleenbacks which are
doubtless genuine. The inscriptions
on the coins are perfectly distinct. AS
the report gained circulation on the
streets, the usual placid minds of the
wiseacres refused to take it in, but
with winks, mods and innuendos, sug-
gested that Baron Munchausen had
been resurrected, and not a pile of
Uncle SANS gold coin and promissory
notes. The total amount of the dug
up treasure does not reach the colossal
fortune of a Vanderbilt, nor does it
fall below the commercial value of a
Kalakaua dollar. The net figures stand
somewhere between $1,000 and $1,000
Several applications have been made
for houses and garden lots in localities
supposed to be located on the lead of
the Bradley claim, or where the soil is
likely to produce chicken feed of sim
liar nutritive qualities.

thusiasm. An electioneering commit
tee of ten was appointed. A commune
cation was sent to the Hook & Ladder
Company in session acquainting them

When the Hook and Ladder Com

Thereupon the Company resolved to
change their ticket to c. B. Wilson,

The Oahu Musicale

A delightful entertainment was
given Friday evening at Oahu Col
lege, Punahou, by Mrs. Van Slyke,
the efficient instructor in music, and
her band of youthful pianists and
choristers The programme, con-
sisted of sixteen numbers, and was
generally acknowledged to comprise
the largest variety of vocal and instru-
mental music hitherto brought for
ward on any similar occurrence at the
college. The singing and playing
were excellent throughout. The oper-
attic singing of Mrs. Van Slyke and
Miss Jennie Grieve in their duet,
Hear Me, Norma" (Bellini, and
Miss Grieve's "The Song of the Page"
from "Les Huguenots," (Meyerbeer),
were rendered in those ladies' flexible
voices, with rare power and effect.
The efforts of the solo and duet per-
formers were recognized by gifts of
pretty bouquets at the close of their
respective pieces.
The parlors of the domestic hall
were we'll filled with an admiring
audience of friends of the institution
from town. Both professors and stu
dents were warmly thanked by the
visitors for their entertainment and
congratulated on the proficiency of
the musical department at Punahou.

violent Society, the American Relief

Among the remarkable feats re-

cribing sealed writings in foreign Ian

Newspaper English,

Such wretched English as we get
in our newspapers" exclaimed GER
tain Chicago clergyman not long
since "There is no polish in the
work. 1t is clumsily done. Words
are badly chosen, shades of meaning
are lost in bungling composition, and
sometimes there are grammatical er-
rors. I can't see why our newspapers
cannot be better written" One night
last week this clergyman happened to
be in the Chicago Tribune office
Near where he stood talking with one
of the editors of the paper was re-
porter writing On the desk in front
of him lay his watch open. With one
hand the young man was moving a
pencil at an amazing speed, and with
the other was manipulating cigar
cite with that skill and ease which
only come of long experience. The
clergyman's curiosity was reused.
" Why the watch?" he inquired. 49,"
replied the editor, the young man
has just come in from his assignment.
He has been busy all the afternoon
and early in the evening gathering
information concerning a matter of
considerable public interest. He has
been doing some lively bustling, and
is probably tired He is also hungry.
But his superior has told him that he
is to have his copy finished at GER
tain hour. In two hours he must
write column and a half That is
why his watch is out. He is timing
himself. If he finds that he is falling
behind, he will work all the harder to
catch up. That is the way newspap-
ers are made Would you like to
write your sermons in that fashion,
and then have somebody go over your
work at his leisure and criticise your
style and your choice of words?"

obtained, which rises two feet from
the top of the pipe, and on trial has
risen 2S feet in a pipe above the sur

satisfied with the result, although it is
hard to make a Chinese horticulturist
