The Atlantic ocean Record 1owere

Inc AIlduliC OCedh htCOTu Lowered
At last the Atlantic has been crossed
in less than six days. For many years
the crack ocean steamships have been
lowering the record little by little, until
the Etruria brought it down to days l
hour and 90 minutes. 1t seemed certain
that none of the then existing racers
could surpass the Etruria's record, I'M
less it were herself or sister ship, the
Umbria. But the last year has seen the
entering of two new and splendid com
petitors, the Inman Lines ships the
City of New York and City OF Paris. The
former has somewhat disappointed the
expectations of her owners as to speed,
but her twin ship the City of Paris last
month arrived at Sandy Hook, after a
voyage not under the most favorable
conditions, having made the distance
from Queenstown in 5 days % hours and
Z minutes corrected time. She not only
broke the record for the entire voyage,
out also made the quickest single days
run, having accomplished, May 9TH, 511
miles in latitude 451l longitude 65.21
The longest run previously made in a
single day was sos miles by the Umbria,
of the Cunard line.

Assem- bled, and it seemed as though
there were representatives from nearly

must have numbered two hundred or
more. During the past twelve years Mr..
and Mrs. Dole have resided at Kappa on
Kauai, and he has the honor of being
still member of the house of Mobiles OF
this Kingdom, to which he was elected
two years ago. Having purchased an
orchard of oranges and grapes in full
bearing at Riverside, he intends to
make that his future home, and
devote himself to fruit culture The
Riverside oranges have the reputa-
ton of being the best grown in Cali
fornia, and so far as location is con-
cerned, he is wise in selecting district
which has such desirable reputation
But we regret to see men of his ability
leave our islands, for they are needed
here more than in California. How
ever, as they have decided to locate
themselves and their large family OF
twelve children in Southern California
we wish them a pleasant voyage and the
realization of all their anticipations in
their new home.

A copy OF Lloyd's official register gives
the exact measurement OF the British
yacht Valkyrie From this it appears
she has a greater registered tonnage than
either the Genesta or the Galatea, and
nearly the same as the Thistle, the
figures being: Valkyrie, 156; Thistle,
10. The Valkyrie, also, has only Is
feet less length for tonnage, 4 $40 feet
less beam and % feet less depth than
the Thistle. She is larger than either
the Genesta or Galatea. The exact
measurements are: Thames tonnage,

that the courses be thirty nautical miles

fed time, not leaving it to the option OF
the Sailing Committee. He would like

E. s. Babcock, j., proprietor Of the
Coronado Hotel, telegraphs from Boston
to San Diego that the Atchison line has
made traffic arrangements with the
Pacific and Oriental Steamship Co., and
that steamers will be put on between
Yokohama and San Diego, during the
present month (June).
1t is almost certain that the steamers
will call at Honolulu both ways; and,
although their stay may be short, a con-
siderable traffic may be developed in
both passengers and freight Many pas
sengers from the Australian colonies
may in winter prefer the route via San
Diego to the Eastern seaboard, or to
Europe; and it is also probable that con-
siderable freight to Honolulu, from the
East, may find its way by the Southern
route. 1t seems now that Honolulu will
become literally the club" of the Pacific,
by having many radiating lines OF
steamers coming and going to this city
as center; and we may reasonably ex-
pect that a large transhipment business
will be developed. These conditions
want only fair beginning, and every
additional line OF steamers will naturally
bring other lines and more enterprise in
their train.

George Wallace. The alter rail was en-
twined with wreaths OF flowers and ever
greens, and choice plants and bouquets
were spread in front OF the alter and
pulpit. The decorations were arranged by
Misses Won Holt and May, and it would
be superfuous to say that the arrange
ment OF the floral designs were all that
could be desired The bride entered the
church to the music OF d wedding march
played upon the organ, and the choir OF
the second congregation sang the mar
rage psalm and the hymn Chow wei
come was the call"
The bride wore a white silk costume
and white bonnet trimmed with suit
able flowers for the occasion. The
bridesmaids were Misses Constance
Mist, Dora Dowsett and Edith Mist-all
cousins to the bride. The groomsmen
were Messrs. J. NJ. Monsarrat, Wilhelm
LAM and Herbert Mist. The bride
was given away by Mr.. Alex. McKibbin,
her uncle, and the ceremony concluded
at 3 20 p. m. The wedding party then
retired for few minutes and returned
to the altar. from whence they passed
down the aisle, and the newly welded
couple received the congratulations OF
their friends in passing. On leaving the
cathedral, the bride carried in her hands
a lovely bouquet of flowers suited to the
occasion, and the organ pealed the Men
delssohn wedding march.
a reception was held at the residence
of the brides parents, Waikiki, Tues
day evening, and where Mr.. and Mrs.
J. n. S. Williams remained until
Friday, when they left for San Fran

GENTLEMEN-In the recent great fire,
which consumed the Hamilton Building of
this city, we had in Onr office one of your
No. 16 Safes, containing our books and ac-
counts and many valuable papers, con-
tracts, deeds, etc. The Safe fell from the
sixth floor with doors down. 1t lay in the
ruins five days and took eight hours to dig
out. In order to get into it, the back had
to be cut out and to our great satisfaction
we found the contents in PERFECT ORDER,
being uninjured either by fire or water
The contents were in better shape than
that of any other in the building. Please

Extraordinary Fire Tests.
TuLARE, CAL, August 10, 1856.
HALLS SAFE & Lock Co:

GENTs-Doubtless you are acquainted
with the facts of the recent fire which COM
pletely destroyed the business portion OF
our town. We wish you could see the Safe
we just bought of you.
Itwas opened with difficulty, because the
outer sheets of both doors were badly
warped, and the bolts would not turn, but
the combination Is in perfect order, and by
using a wrench we opened the bolts by the
Combination.
The inside doors, and cabinet work, and
everything inside is in perfect order.
1t is pleasure to see the admiration ex-
pressed by everyone at seeing it in such
goodr order We think every other Safe in
town was scorched inside, though all the
Hall Safes are in good condition. We are
satisfied it would be to your interest to
send a salesman down at once, as nothing
but Hall Safe will sell now.
The outer doors Of ours must berepaired,
and our Safe is again new. The old one
which we sold stood it as well as before,
and better than many new ones. (This
was the third fire it has passed through.

Death and Funeral of Mrs. Keegan.

DeaJh ana I'm eral OF MRS. heeSan'
Mrs. Thomas Keegan died at sc
a. m. Tuesday, at her residence, Nuu-
anu street. The deceased lady was a
native of Trim, county Meath, Ireland,
and landed in Honolulu with her hus-
band in the year 1850. They came from
Australia in the ship Hermann, which
was bound to San Francisco but put in
here for provisions and water; and a
number Of the passengers remained on
shore. For many years Mrs. Keegan
kept what was long known as the light
house store; and she died in the same
building, which was her own property.
Her husband was mason and slater by
trade, and he died in 1870. She leaves
two sisters-one in Ireland and the other
in New York. The floral decorations at
the funeral were superb, and the burial
service took place at 4 p. m. Tuesday
in the Roman Catholic Cathedral-the
remains being inferred in the Catholic
cemetery, King street. The attendance
at the burial ceremonies was very large,
and included many of the oldest resi-
dents on the Islands.

fire which destroyed the whole business
portion of the town of Tulare on the night
of August &c. 1886.
As stated in the above letter, all the

many of them,) preserved their contents
in good condition, and the same can be
said of every fire that has occurred in
California or elsewhere.
