Performance saturday Night of Young
Men Fleet OF Foot.
The road race Saturday night
was between two teams only, it
being found impracticable to or
ganize a third. Charles Crane
captained one aud b. F. Beardnore
the other. The start was made at
7:45 ard tie first man returned in
thirty-icur minutes. The track
was up Fort ami Bcretania to Puma
hou, down to King and point of
starting. The second team ran
opposite to the course indicated,
returning down Beretania and
Fort. The team running up Bere-
tania were at a disadvantage on ac-
count Of the hill. Tie second team
descended this plane.
Cranes team was composed of
p. Parker, Charlie Murray, Vida
Thrum, James Thompson, G..
White, S. Johnson, T. Price, S.
Rosa and Louis Singer.
Beardmore's team consisted OF
Beardmore himself, w. Lyle, Peter
son, Thompson, Guy, Bolster, Jeu-
nings and Gumpher. Lyle of the
latter team came in first. Parker,
Murray, Thrum and J. Thompson
of the first team and Beardnore o.
the second ran it very near together
Rosa of the first team came il
pretty well, but was given place /;
in the list for having ridden a par
of the way. He was found swing
ing on the back of buggy by tn,
referee.
Louis Singer did not get in unit
about o:3o o'clock. Some say b,
went to luau at Waikiki, but b,
declares he simply stopped at hi
home to take a bath and chang,
clothes. He was attacked b.
cramps. Parker and Murray raj
together until very near in, whel
the former took the lead. The tw,
teams passed on Beretania, two o
three hundred yards from the cor
ner of Punahou. Beardmore's team
won by three points. The rae,
drew out quite a crowd and will b,
repeated.

FRIENDLY RECEPTION.

Several measures meaning much
to Hawaii will be presented to the
next congress of the United States.
Annexation will have an inning.
Cable communication agitation will
Rave a place in the foreground.
Nicaragua canal construction will
become living issue again. Naval
affairs will receive attention and 1t
is possible that some tariff changes
will be essayed. Wherever Ha-
wall is involved she will have
arrayed OH her side powerful ant
earnest friends. Some of them vii
be old acquaintance. Some o.
them will be new allies and de
tenders. We do not apprehend
that much partisanship will be
shown in the new congress when
Hawaiian affairs are up for discus
sion. The fact of the matter is
that the Islands have not had {
party for a foe at Washington
The opponents have happened fol
the most part to be men prominen
in a certain party. There arr
friends at Washington and else
where in the United States who arr
determined that Hawaii shall no
be the subject Of partisan conten
ton. There has been the creates
care at this end to avoid a mis-
fortune of this sort. The mex
congress will be friendly to Hawaii
Bills in which the islands are i'll
terested will receive in senate anc
house unparalleled consideration

Utilizing Waste Paper.

At the instigation of Chief Constable
Henderson scheme has been set on foot
by the Edinburgh Association for Improv,

waste paper from the householders and
having it sorted by the deserving poor OF

the unemployed. The scheme also pro
vides remedies for three abuses-a great
waste of material, n serious deterioration
in the value of the city refuse, aud the an.
noyanoc, danger and dirt caused by paper
blowing about the streets. Canvas bags,
stamped For the Poor, A. |. G. p" are
sent to householders on an initial payment
of threepence. Full bags are lifted upon
information being sent to the Office at the
Kings Stables Road or the constable OH
beat receiving notice. An empty bag is
substituted free of charge. The paper thus
collected is conveyed to the fac, DRY in

The "fad," if it may be so call
ed, of wearing dresses of Ger
tain design will never become
popular tor the reason that, as a
rule, a lady is very chary about
getting the same kind of cloth
that her neighbor wears. AS an
illustration it is only necessary
to cite the case of woman OF
fashion in Chicago whose dresses
were frequently copied, and very
much to her disgust. On one
occasion when giving an order
or riding habit she remarked
TO ler dressmaker 81 want some
thing that will not be copied by
every woman who sees it, sup
pose you make the buttons of
i've dollar gold pieces And
her scheme worked. The ladies
of Honolulu are not different in
this respect from those OF Chi
cago. If few of them wish to
wear stripes let those who object
wear stars and there will be a
combination that even the Gov
ernment would not object to,
With men it is different! Jones
wears the same style hat that
Brown does and there's no ieal-
uuSy about it. Aud if Brown
manages plantation and finds
an implement that suits his pur.
pose he tells Jones and he gets
one like it. Perhaps that is the
way with the Avery Implements
Mr., Scott, manager OF Walnaku
saw them and was satisfied with
them. Directly he began using
them the epidemic spread and
now all Hawaii has the disease
and were spreading it wherever
there is an opening. The follow.
ing testimonials show pretty
well the high opinion in which
these implements are held by the
writer's:

DEAR SIR:-In answer to your letter
inquiring about the Avery Stubble
Diggers and Fertilizer Distributors,
would say that the fact that we have
lust received the second Stubble Digger
speaks for itself. We have dug ovel
four hundred acres of rattoon stools anC
consider it will be a great benefit.
The Fertilizer Distributor is a goot
thing and has effected material saving
of labor in the application of fertilizer
and applies it better than can be don,
by hand.
These machines are very simple ant
well constructed and we have had nj
. trouble with sthe working of them anC
we consider them one of the most use
full labor saving machines that, can b
used ON a plantation.
Yours truly,

sold large percentage of her most
valuable water fronts to railroad

of the frontage. To this end bills

DEAR SIR: 1.-The Onomea Sugar Co.,

Diggers.
Il think these machines are indis-
pensable for the proper cultivation of
rattoons. We have never had an i'm.
plement that would so thoroughly
loosen the earth around the stools and
put the soil in such condition that the
air, moisture and fertilizer would so
readily find access to the fine roots of
the cane and the roots around them.
| am glad to testify To the merits of
these tools. The sugar land Disc Guilt
vators arrived too late for much use in
the cultivation of the last young plant
and lattoons. but l believe they will
prove to he very useful and labor saving
implements in Districts where cane is
raised without irrigation"

PAAUHAU PLANTATION Co.,

HAMAKUA, Jan. 10, 1895.
WIN. G. IRWIN Il Co., LTD, HONOLULU
GENTLEMEN--The mill has been running dur,
ing the past two weeks, with the National
Cane Shredder lately installed, giving the
most satisfactory results.
Our mill consists Of three sets Of two roll
lers, 32 in. dia. by Y in. long, the shredder
discs being #. in. long, driven by an
automatic engine IL in dia. cylinder by IA
in. stroke.
The Rattoon cane being milled Is as hard
us it is possible for cane to be, having been
subjected to severe drought during the
whole period of its growth, and growing on
land with a trade wind exposure Our ex-
perience with the Shredder, particularly with
a6oye cane, proves t% It 20 pc Just what our
prepared to have its juice extracted than for
meIly after passing through the first mill.
The first mill is now allowed to open y-l6 in
Instead of Is in. as formerly, SO that the trash
now leaves the first mill, better ground, Than
it formerly did the second, and this without
ing of the machinery.
Behind the first and second mills we apply
hot water, the quantity for the past ~ days,
as per statement attached, has averaged IS
per cent. on the total juice from the cane.
The trash from che last mill is cut up much
finer than before the Shredder was applied.
mi oh of it resembling saw DUST, it contains
a. per statement 80 per cent. of moisture and
makes gcod fuel, the juice from the last mill
stands 3 degrees Brix., SO that the moisture
in the trash is OF 8 per cent sugar solution
The Boilers make steam much easier than
before, now care has to be taken 10 keep them
from blowing of, whereas before great care
was necessary to keep the steam from going
too low when the Pan was ON.
By the use of the Shredder we have dis
pensed with six men, formerly necessary to
distribute the cane on the carrier, feed the
first mill, and throw back the long pieces.
The Shredder Machinery is a good sub
stantial JOB, and should cause little or no
trouble, as it is subjected to but light strains
You will see that by applying the Shred
der, our work in all departments has b, en-
very materially mproved-obtaining a
better extraction at less expense than former
ly. The great improvement in our steam,
causes much satisfaction to those engaged in
the Mill.
Yours Respectfully,
A. MOORE.
