S. S. MARIPOSA CONCERT.

An Enjoyable Entertainment at Sea
Celebrated Professional Actors and
Actresses Perform the Night Before
Reaching Honolulu.
Among the passengers by the S. s..
Mariposa, is Mr.. Harry Edwards, well
known as an actor in the Australian
colonies and the United States. He was
for a considerable time attached to the
California Theatre, and for eight years
was stage director of Wallack's Theatre,
New York, retaining that position until
the lamented death of Mr.. Lester Wal
lack, in September, 1885, Mr.. Edwards
is on his way to Australia to produce the
now world-celebrated play of "Little
Lord Fauntleroy" and on his return to
New York in March or April next, will
remain over for few weeks in Homo
lulu, and will present the play to
Hawaiian audience. Mr.. Edwards is
accompanied by Miss Ollie Berkeley the
most talented child actress of America,
who although only little over nine
years of age, has already received re-
markable reputation both in England
and the United States. Miss Berkeley
has an open offer of engagement from
Mr.. Beerbohn Tree of the Haymarket,
London, and at the termination of her
present trip, will probably become a
member of the company of that noted
establishment. Mrs. Berkeley, her
mother, and Miss Ethel Winthrop, a
,x,ooaf,1 onl accommodated ,1
also of the party, all of whom look for
ward with intense pleasure to a few
weeks in the beautiful islands of the
northern tropical sea.
A most interesting evening was passed
on board the Mariposa on Friday, Aug.
30th, being a concert to celebrate the
last day spent on board before reaching
Honolulu, and to bid farewell to the good
friends who left the steamer at this port.
The programme consisted of recitations
and songs by Misses Winthrop and
Berkeley, Mesdames Berkeley and Pip
kin, Messrs. Edwards, Adaires, Thorne,
and others. Captain Hayward stated
that never in his experience had such an
admirable series of numbers been pre-
sented on board ship, and the Goth of
August will long remain as a red-letter
day in the annals of the Mariposa. A
most interesting feature was the presen-
tation of purse of 101a guineas to the
brilliant little artistic, Miss Ollie Berk-
eley, from her Honolulu friends, the OBJ
ject being to furnish Miss Berkeley with |
a watch which will be a reminder of her
voyage, and of the many friends who
value and appreciate her ability 1t is
not too much to say that happier party |
is rarely found on board steamer than |
that which graced the social hall of the |
Mariposa on the occasion referred to,
and grateful thanks to all who partici- |
pated were fully and heartily expressed.

DIFFUSION PLANT LANDED.
Seven-eighths of a New Plant for
Hanalei Mill Landed from the s. G.

Seven-eighths of a New Plant for
Hanalei Mill Landed from the s. G.
Wilder.
The greater portion of diffusion plant
for the Hanalei Mill, Kauai, has been
landed from the barkentine S. G.
Wilder. There are about seven-eighths
of the plant already arrived, and the
other eighth is expected by the tern W.
S. Bovine, Hanalei was the first mill to
have complete crushing plant, which
was set up in 1868; and since that no
additions of any consequence have been
made to the machinery. At the close of
last season a contract was made with
Mr.. j. n. S. Williams for complete diff
fusion plant to work up $50 tons of cane
in twenty four hours; and this plant,
part of which is now landed, consists of
a diffusion battery of fourteen eel 6,
fitted with all the latest improvements
indicated by experience at Kealia. There
are two slashing machines of entirely
new construction, and embodying a new
pTiuClpto. lueFo Is dlsO d Triple eject III
connection with the battery. The old
fashioned three-roller mill has been con-
verted into four-roller arrangement for
squeezing the exhausted chips to make
them fit for fuel. The portions of the diffu-
sion plant, now landed from the Wilder,
comprise air compressor, centrifugals,
Understanding and pulleys, and duplex
Blake feeding-pump, one of the first that
ever was sent to the Islands. The whole
of the plant was built at the Union Iron
Works, San Francisco, from drawings
and specifications furnished by the con-
tractor, who also superintendent the con-
struction in San Francisco. The whole
of this machinery, together with large
plant for Hon. H. P. Baldwin, was con-
structed in three and a-half months from
the date of signing the contract; not
withstanding that the Union Iron Works
had in hand the construction of three
war vessels for the U. s. Government,
and several other heavy contracts all at
the same time.
The plant now landed for Hanalei
Mill will be carried by schooners to its
destination. and put up with all dis

a Sea Snake.

We learn from the Hongkong Free
Press that the mate of the American ship
Agenor lying in Hongkong harbor on
July 18th last, was surprised at that date
to find a snake coiled up in the vessel
under the grating at the top OF the lad
der. He called assistance, and the
reptile was speared with a grain used for
catching fish. After it was killed the
snake was measured and found to be
twelve feet long and nearly one foot il
circumference. 1t was a sea snake OF
the usual black and white species; but
its large size and its ability to have
climbed from the sea to where it was
found caused much conjecture.
These sea snakes are frequently met
with in all tropical seas; but, curiously
enough. naturalists seem to have given
them very little attention. The natural
history of animal life in tropical lands
and oceans. is a book that has yet to be
written: but when trade increases be-
tween tropical and civilized countries
sufficiently to warrant the publication of
such a work, it will doubtless be forth
coming.
Even in Honolulu, it is doubtful
whether the most profound naturalist
among the residents, has a knowledge
of one-tenth of the ocean life around
these coasts-life that would be visible
TO the unaided vision of the average man,
were he to make proper search.

OAHU RAILROAD.

A Successful Experimental Excursion,
and the Redemption of Mr.. b. f.
DilIingham's Promise Given One
Year Ago.
One year ago Wednesday Mr.. B. F.
Dillingham; obtained his franchise to
construct the Oahu railroad, and upon
that occasion he promised number OF
his friends that within a year he would
have a portion of the line in running
order. Mr.. Dillingham; never forgot this
promise, and its fulilment was performed
yesterday when the friends aforesaid
had ga ride upon the rails"
A Baldwin locomotive and two excur-
sion cars were got ready to start at 4
p. m, and by that hour the following
gentlemen, among others, had taken
their seats in the foremost car, viz: W.
r. Castle, H. A. Widemann, ]. G.
Spencer, j. H. Fisher, Paul Neumann,
NJ. P. Robinson, J. H. Soper, Godfrey
Brown, Frank Brown, DR.. Whitney, II.
Lose, E. Muller, w. A. Bowen, J. F.
Colburn, Walter NJ. Gifiard, A. Jaeger,
Geo. Castle, Chas. Hammer, B. F.
Dillingham;, James Torbert, and repre-
sentatives of the ADVERTISER and
Bulletin. The second car was filled
chiefly with native Hawaiians, and it
was crammed, There were about $50
persons on board the train altogether,
and the crowd on the ground that could
not be accommodated was very consider
able.
Exactly at the hour appointed p.
M the whistle blew and the train began
to move; its speed increasing until rate
of 10 or II miles an hour was reached.
The crowds that had gathered at various
portions of the line cheered the train as
it passed, and those on board responded
vociferously. The train ran very smoothly
all the way to the Palama rice fields, up
to which point only the line has been
fully finished. Although the distance
was not much over mile, yet it gave
an earnest of the great energy be-
ing displayed in getting the line ready.
The line and works are very creditable
to all concerned; and, although it was
not considered advisable to make the re-
turn journey owing to the engine being
new and previously untried, yet the out
ing and the novelty of the trip were
thoroughly enjoyed. This first trial was
certainly success; both as the first ex-
perimental trip on the line, and also as
a redemption of the promise given by
Mr.. Dillingham; year ago.
The engine used upon the occasion |
was a new Baldwin," and it returned |
to town later in the evening-the pas
sengers having in the interim come back |
by other conveyances. Mr.. Kleugel, the |
company's engineer, was the driver of |
the engine upon the occasion, and his |
skill and judgment under the circum
stances do him much credit. 1t must be |
taken into consideration that the new
ness of the embankment rendersi it scarce
ly settled, and great care and caution
had to be observed by the engineer
owing to the heavy weight of the train,
In few weeks time two locomotives
built by Baldwin of Philadelphia,
will arrive in Honolulu; and several
passenger cars of LIST and I'd class,
similar in appearance and finish to those
used in the United States. By that
time the whole line to Pearl Harbor will
be about ready for the rolling stock, and
then the comforts of railroad travelling
to that pleasant resort will be fully be-
gun,

A River Pilot.

One of the many peculiar features of
steamboat plotting is the shifting Of the
channel. The marks Of pilots at GER
tain points along the river or riv-
ers that he works on, once learned,
are always known until they cease
to exist. But the shifting changes
of the channel of river like the Missis-
sippi presents on many occasions prob
lematical condition to the most compe-
tent pilots. The changes or shifts of the
channel are sometimes very sudden, but
it is, however, a rare occurrence for a
change to take place in less than forty
eight hours. For instance, tonight I
may go down on the New South per-
fectly acquainted with the channels
position. On my next trip up in a few
days there may have been change in
it's position. 1t requires constant watch
fulness, hence it may be truthfully said
that a pilots study is never ended
