KALAKAUA's MONUMENT.
Sub Committees Appointed :
Models to be Competed For.


The committee in charge of the
matter of raising funds for the cree
tion of statue to the memory of
our late King are pushing the matter
with energy.
A meeting was held Thursday, at
which subcommittee was APP
pointed to make some arrangements
with the press. The matter of a
model was taken up. The model,
received by the Zealandia on its late
trip, made by the sculptor Rupert
Schmid, Of San Francisco, was ex-
amined. This sculptor was the one
who requested of Colonel Geo. w.
Macfarlane the privilege of making
plaster paris cast from the dead
kings face just before the remains
We're shipped here. The Colonel,
however, refused on account of con-
siderations for the feelings of the
Queen Dowager and others.
The model that was sent down,
and is now to be seen at tie office of
g. w. Macfarlane & Co., is not a
very good one. The face is con-
siderably thinner than it should be,
and the lower part of the legs is not
quite what is desired.
The committee also made pro-
visions for asking for tenders for
models, and will offer a prize for the
best. Some very good bust models
are to be had in Honolulu, made by
local sculptors, and it is likely that
some home talent may win the
prize.

Income from 1000 lights at 20 cents
eacn per month ..................S I,0UO
Income over expenses per month. $40
Or IL LILO per cent on $4,000.
1t has been ascertained by personal
canvas that the above number of lights
can be placed at once on the terms now
charged by the Government. The
above plants would be capable OF fur
nishing 1900 lights each if required.
Agreements for necessary leases of lots
have been negotiated. Specifications
for the plants complete have been made,
the promoters propose to turn these over
to the Company, and undertake the in
corporation OF the Company, and the
securing of the subscriptions to the
stock, and to superintend the establish
ment of the business without salary un-
til the Company is ready to supply
lights. This is capitalized at value of
one tenth of the stock. The other nine
tenths are open for subscription.
The capital stock is proposed to be
$4,000, divided into 1,600 shares of the
par value of $25 each, to be paid in install
ments as required.
As soon as the stock is subscribed for,
the Company will be organized and in
corporated, and the business be estab-
lished as rapidly as possible.
The whole responsibility for the prac
tical electrical work will be assumed by
Mr. VIM. V. Lockwood, electrician.
Subscriptions for stock and requests
for information may be made at the
Office of the undersigned at 42 Merchant
street. JoNA. AUSTIN.

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS
OF the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany.

The rapid growth which has taken
place within u few years in the utiliza-
ton OF electricity Tor the purposes of civ
ilized communities illustrates the avidity
with which mankind avails itself OF eco
nomic and convenient discoveries in the
application OF natural forces.
The lighting OF the streets OF Honolulu
bv electricity has been beneficial, and,
so far as it has gone, satisfactory. 1t is
hoped that the system will be extended.
The furnishing OF incandescent lights
for buildings by the Government has
created a strong demand for such lights,
but the extent Of the incandescent sys-
tenn is limited and it does not seem prob
able that it will be increased.
There exists a strong desire that
reliable system OF lights for business
places and dwellings should be made
available to all parts of the city.
With the hope OF accomplishing this
purpose it is proposed to form a Joint
Stock Company to erect works and sup
ply lights, and power il required to the
different districts OF Honolulu.
1t is thought advisable to commence
by the erection OF two plants. One to be
located near the centre OF business TO
supply business houses and public build
ings in addition to such dwellings as
may require it, and the other to be
located on the plains in a central posi-
ton which will enable it to supply the
residents in every direction. These to be
followed by such extension as shall be
found desirable.
1t is apparent from inquiries which
have been made that the number OF
lights which will be required as soon as
it will be possible to furnish them is
sufficient to justify the erection OF a one
thousand light plant at each station, with
provision for the rapid duplication and
increase of the inaugural POWER. Esti-
mates OF the cost of these two stations,
including the erection OF all necessary
lines are as follows:

Buffalo visitors at the Clifton House
On Sunday were the spectators Of an at
mospheric commotion at the falls the
like Of which has rot been seen within
the memory Of the Oldest inha0itant.
Between and o'clock heavy black
clouds appeared as the herald Of what

ciate clubs, there are upward of fifty other
tennis organizations in California. The
large attendance of wealth and fashion at
important meetings rivals, If not exceeds,
that in the east. There are many clever
players among the fair sex, but as yet few
public competitions for ladies. Mrs. II.
II. Sherwood, of the California L. 7. c., is
among the best, and then, perhaps, come
Mrs. Basil Heathcote and Miss Susan Nor

The man who perhaps comes second to
Mr.. Taylor is Mr.. Joseph Tobin, of the
California L. T. c., though Mr.. C. r. Yates,
of the same club. and Messrs. c. P. Hub
bard and S. Hubbard, of the Lakeside, are
close up. The probabilities are that Mr..
Taylor would rank well up in the east, but
it is not probable that he could hold his
own against Campbell, Hobart or Hunt

fornia they would doubtless find it no easy
matter to defeat him.

CHESS CHAMPION sHowALTER.
He Has Carried OF the Honors Three
Times in Succession.

Chess players throughout the country
will be interested in knowing something of
J. w. Showalter, who has just won his
third national chess tournament. Three
consecutive championships is a succession
of victories that few chess players have
ever attained. The tournaments at which
Mr.. Showalter made his distinction a triple
one closed recently at Lexington, KY. His
opponent in the last and deciding game
was W II. K. Pollock, the well known
chess player of Baltimore. The time of the
game was three hours and twenty minutes.
1t was one OF the most brilliant ever
played, Mr.. Pollock resigning on the forty
fourth move.
J. w. Showalter was born in Mason
county, KY, but for many years has lived
at Georgetown. He is just thirty-one
years of age, and the most remarkable
thing about his skill ar chess is that il has
all been acquired in the last five years.
Previous to 1886 he had never played a
game He learned the game very rapid ",
as may be supposed, and at the end of a
year could beat any player OF ordinary
caliber.
Mr.. Showalter is college man After
his graduation at the Kentucky Military
institute he went to his fathers ranch On
the Nuces river, in southern Texas, and
there spent several years IS cowboy, las
loing the long horned animals OF that re
gion. Returning 70 Kentucky he first be

ever, by winning W. Il. TAYLOR, JR.
the singles championship on that occasion.
From this tournament a great contro-
versy arose, which, though unpleasant at
the time, started the tennis boom in Cali
fornia. IL was claimed that the California
L. T. c. had no authority to confer the
title of Pacific states champion, and that
any other club was as justly entitled to
give a contest for the honor. There being
some rivalry between northern and south
ern California at the time, Mr.. Il. PeytOn
Carter, of Los Angeles, challenged Mr..
Taylor TO match. The contest took place
on the courts of the California L. 4. G.
on Oct. is, lSSs, the conditions being best
three out of five sets. Mr.. Taylor lost
the first set to love- after which he buckled
down and took three straight, thus prov
Ing his title TO the championship, so far as
Mr. Carter was concerned.

Joined the United States National Lawn

to conduct the singles championship of the
Pacific coast. The Hotel del Monte, on
whose courts the meeting was to be held,
then offered an elegant prize called the
