There are at this time twenty-three
brakes and fifteen carriages in Hilo in
use, and five more will come on the next
hlnau. All are anxious to go through
with them to the Volcano. No doubt
they will be generally used for that pur-
pose, and there will be many brake
downs on the road which will make a
blacksmith shop necessary at the half
way house.
The Catholic Mission students, some
of them, are making rapid progress in
taking fine pictures. They will take a
small photograph and make a large pic
ture from it, and execute it in splendid
style. They have many of these pic
lures on exhibition at Silva's photograph
window, Hilo, which have been spoken
of as being very life like. Lately there
has appeared the picture of Mr.. Will
cox who was kindly treated by the Ha-
waiian people, and has been trying to
repay them lately. The last picture on
exhibition is that of Gen. John A. Logan
very life-like.
On the ever memorable day of Octo-
Der %, 1889, four amateur photograph

fear the artists wished their pictures,
which they did not care a snap about.
They wished only for the charming land
scape, not the waterscape. So the four
