There are at this time twenty-three
brakes and fifteen carriages in Hilo in
use, and five more will come ON the next
kinau. 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
small photograph and make 8 large pic
ture from ii, and execute it in a 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
hiss appeared the picture of Mr.. Will |
cox who was kindly treated by the Ra-
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 Is, 1889, four amateur photograph |
ers met on the banks of the Waiolama |
river, Hilo, with each q camera for the |
oStensible purpose of taking views of |
that enchanting locality. They met by
chance each being ignorant that there
was any one coming but themselves.
They were all respectable gents. char
acters without a blemish, and in love
with art. In their line they were all
artists, and as they are al modest gents
l shall not name them. There were:
l. The American Consular Officer.
,. The Deputy Collector-General Of
Customs of the great Hawaiian King
dom.
s. Our new doctor, just arrived, al
ways genial, and who viii make lots of
friends.
I. Last but not least, our new school
teacher, whose school is increasing quite
rapidly on account of his popularity.
Well, you should have been there and
seen them laugh when they began to |
get their cameras ready for action. Their
lour = faces each under the black cloth |
II their four a cameras. There seemed
uSt then 10 be more than q usual num-
Der OF people, wading across the Waio-
anna, and some ran as for dear life for
ear the artists wished their pictures,
which they did not care q snap about.
they wished only Tor the charming land
'cape, not the waterScape. So the four
y artists had q jolly good time and will
ever remember the meeting OF the four !
)n October IS, 1889. Amateur photo
,raphers seem 10 be increasing rapidly
md some Of our photographers are max
ng beautifully truthful pictures OF Hilo

Yankee Doodle and seem to enjoy il !

ave them special pleasure. 1t pleases
,ome foreigners also.
The tax assessor has only given those
Who wish 70 appeal, only one day for
hat purpose.
