Exhibition at KaWaiahaO.

The stereopticon exhibition given
by Ben Hogan at Kawaiahao church
Saturday night drew out big audi
ence, and a very appreciative one.
ALI the good seats were filled up
stairs and down and a great many
stood. About two hundred views
were shown. An entertainment OF
this kind is precisely suited to the
Hawaiians, and goodly number of
the views were saluted with enthu-
siastic cheers. The comic pictures
elected especially warm appreciation.
Mr.. Hogan's explanatory remarks
were translated by w. r. Castle.
After the main exhibition was over
Mr.. Hogan announced that he would
go on as long as the supply OF gas
lasted. Everyone stayed, and a large
number of Hawaiian views were
shown. Many of these were indls-
tinct, but some came out very clearly.
The audience were highly edited by
the Hawaiian views, we'll

ST. LOUIS VS.. IWILEI.

The Amateur Base Ball Associa-
ton" Is certainly we'll named, for if
ever an amateur game was played it
was on Saturday by the st. Louis
and the Iwileis. The game from
beginning to end was a mass of
errors, and there was only one earned
run In the whole twenty two runs
scored.
Neither club got any runs in the
first innings, but in the second Kipa
made a base hit to right, and came
home on wild throws and a passed
ball by G. Long
The st. Louis half of the second
was opened by base hit to right by
Lewis, after which hits by Long,
Kaouli and Comes. and three bag
ger by r. Lane, assisted by errors
by the Iwileis, scored six runs for the
lucky st. Louis. After this innings
the Iwileis picked up little until
the seventh, when they allowed the
st. Louis to make six runs, which
virtually won the game. The Iwileis
made quite struggle to catch up in
the ninth, but could only get three
runs, and the game went to the ST.
Louis with score of IA to 8. The
game was not largely attended. The
following is the official score

Excursion to Pearl City PENN
SuIa.

A large number OF people, enough
to fill four cars, took advantage OF
the opportunity offered to go down
on the railroad last Saturday after
noon. Some went on to the planta
ton but many got off at the PENN.
sula to see the lots now advertised
for sale. Those who only know the
peninsula as it was two years ago
would Lot recognize the place now.
It is cleared and laid out into streets
and lots, and the water will soon be
laid on it. The party expressed
themselves as surprised and de-
lighted with what they saw. The
company has acquired a fishing
right in connection with the prop,
erty so that those who buy lots will
have the privilege of fishing.

Mr. L. j. Levey announces in an
other column the production (under
the direction of Mrs. Ernestine
Gray, of Gilbert & Sullivan's opera,
The Sorcerer, at the Opera House
on Saturday evening next. Follow
ing is a synopsis of the piece:
Alexis, son of Sir Marmaduke Pom
of Lady Sangazure. They are so happy
in their engagement that they wish
every one to share the same feelings and
Alexis calls in Wellington Wells, a
family sorcerer, who by calling to his
aid the ''friends of flame and fire" sue
ceeds in putting love potion in the
drink. This potion causes every one
who drinks of it to fall in love with the
first person they meet and their aftec-
ton is at once returned. Thereupon
ensue a number of complications.
Amongst others, Constance, charity
girl, who has been in love with DR. DAILY,
the village vicar, meets the village
notary, a very deaf old man, and trans

duke instead of keeping to his old love
Lady Sangazure bestows his affections
on Mrs. Parlet. the church pew opener,
and mother of Constance. Lady Sang
azure does the same to Wellington
Wells, much to his distress, and Alene
herself having drunk the philtre to
please Alexis, who wishes to make sure
of her love, meets and as matter OF
course loves DIR. DAILY. Alexis coming
in is enraged at hearing it and de-
nounces Alene, when Mr.. Wells APP

dies, when all are restored to their old

ENCOURAGING REPORTS.

Attention has previously been
called in these columns to the work
of the state board of agriculture in
advertising Vermont. Hon Victor
l. Spear informs the Montpelier
Waterman that some 200 towns
have reported unoccupied farms for
sale, about $50 such farms having
been reported thus far, or about one
to each town in the state. Reports
of some 500 occupied farms for sale
have been made In its Forthcoming
circular the board proposes to adver-
tise occupied real estate for sale,
whether farms, mills or houses, at
the rate of So for fifty words, and
many are accepting this proposal.
These reports are certainly encOur-
aging and they show that our people
are beginning to realize that the best
way to sell their farms is to adver-
tise them. The state board are do
ing a labor of love but we believe the
next Legislature will remember them.
They certainly ought to pay them
well for their time and trouble

THANKS, GENTLEMEN.

Within the past two weeks the
Caledonian has received many COM
plimentary notices from the press of
Vermont, New England, and else
where over its enlargement to an
eight page paper. We would be I'M
grateful indeed if we did not return
thanks for the kind words that have
been printed and spoken, and beg to
assure our friends that these NANTES
tations of good will are highly ap-
preciated We have refrained from
printing these notices but have made
an exception in the case of an unex-
pected tribute from the New York
Evening Post. The article refers to
so many other country papers besides
the CALIFORNIAN and has such a good
moral that we want all our readers
to see it.

PRESS COMMENTS.
The Power of the Country Pres.

The growing ability and prosperity
of the weekly press of the country,
especially in New England, consti-
tute hopeful sign of the times in
Journalism. The ST. .Johnsbury (Vt.)
CALIFORNIAN has just increased its size
one-fourth and changed its form to
an eight-page sheet nearly as large
as the Evening Post, the enlargement
being required by the steady growth
of advertising. Well printed and
conveniently arranged, it is very
attractive newspaper in appearance,
while its matter, original and select
ed, is of excellent quality. Another
Vermont weekly, the Brattleboro
Phoenix, has also just made a similar
change in form, while others, like the
Montpelier Watchman, had previ-
ously done so. The same thing is
true of the best weekly newspapers
in Massachusetts, like the Greenfield
Gazette and the Northampton Gaz-
cite. These journals furnish the local
news Of the various towns in their
counties with such fullness that many
former residents continue to sub
scribe after they remove to other
parts Oh the country, Tue SdltuO-
MAN, for example, having subscribers
in thirty-one states of the Union as
well as several foreign countries.
Moreover, they discuss public ques-
tons, both local and larger, with an
ability and independence which are
often in refreshing contrast with the
low level of the editorial page in
daily papers published in much larger
places. Their growing prosperity
indicates that the people of the rural
districts are ready to support good
papers-a fact which does something
to offset the encouragement as to
the popular taste caused by some of
the great journalistic successes along
lower lines in large cities.-[New
