The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1894-07-03


Spreckelsville Hall.
OF course, the chef dOeuUre Of the
days menu is the races at Kahului,
which of late years have proved to be
the most ambitious and interesting
sporting event taking place within the
island group.
This years contests bid fair to
eclipse all former efforts, even if, as
is rumored, the famous horse Lord
Brock fails TO run against the equally
famous Amarno, for Jack Dow has
the doughty Oscurius in the pink of
condition, and expects to make a
great showing with him, even against
the conqueror of Senator Stanford.
> Then there is the great trotting
event, the free-for-all, with Silky,
Johnny Hayward, Nevada and Elec-
tioneer, and the contest between the
$40 trotters, with such speedy mater
ial as Whiskers, Little Johnny and
lWailuku) Jack, of which, it is said, at
least two can do the mile something
better than $50.
Then the Corinthian number, be-
tween Queen L., Billy c., Winfield
and Black Diamond, and the half
mile dash between LOlokalaDi and
%thers, will prove exciting. The
sporting gentry of the capital will |
surely be well entertained if they |
= make the trip to Kahului by the |
Claudine.
Makawao people, being of more |

alfresco entertainment will probably |
be in the beautiful lawn of Hon. II. |
p. Baldwin's residence at Haiku
though there are rumOrs of a similar
merrymaking in the picturesque
gulch at Kaluanui.
During the week invitations have
been scattered all over the island, in
viting ladies and gentlemen to ball
at Spreckelsville Hall. Rudolph
Spreckels is the host of the occasion,
reports to the contrary nOtwithstand-
ing. Trains will run and the National
Band will furnish music.

About %. m. Thursday, the 2Sth,
telephone message was received at
Central to the effect that the Wainee
Church of Lahaina had been burned
TO the ground-"simply this and
nothing more" 1t is about sixty-six
years since the corner stone of Wainee
was laid and, under DR.. Baldwin, it
played an important part in the re-
ligious history of Hawaii mel. 1t was
a huge edifice, built of coral rock and
clay, and could hold thousand peo-
pie or more. An old native reports

and perhaps three thousand people at

there.
The following reported comedy,
which proved well-nigh a tragedy, !
points a moral TO the chicken-thief.
.One night last week the peaceful ,
SAUNDERS of Pilot English, of Kahului, !
were rudely broken by loud squawk- !
ings from the vicinity of his chicken
coop. He arises quickly from his
couch, hastens speedily in deshabille
to the doorway, and gazes into
the darkness. He sees nothing +
but the blackness of night, but b
continues to hear the cack- 2
lings of his terrified poultry "Bang!" s
goes the shooting-iron, just for luck, U
and then all is still {

of a Chinaman was discovered, and \
near by bag containing sundry fat t
fowls. Upon examination Mr.. John b
Celestial proved more frightened than p
hurt. The ball, which was afterwards j
extracted Toy DR.. Herbert, had entered
the abdomen, described curve just
under the flesh, and finally lodged
near the base of the spinal column.
