This Misfortune BefelI the Bicycle Of
ID. G. Sylvester Sunday.
Beats Joe Sylva's Record TO Kahul<u
ID, One Whole Hour Mud on
Nuuanu Avenue.

ID. G. Sylvester, who has won for him.
self name in bicycle circles of the
city, and who has been longing to make
better record than the recent one
of Joe Silva, the Manoa wonder, started
out early Sunday morning on Tribune
wheel
The start was made in front of
Notes restaurant at sos a. m. Every
thing went well until School street was
reached. Here one of the forks of his
wheel broke, but Sylvester continued
on his way. In front of Schaefer's the
mud was so thick that the rider became
a walker until within short distance
of the Pail. Here he mounted again
and made the Pail at $50 a. m.
Then came fine run to Kahuku,
which place Sylvester reached at $50
a. m, an hour ahead of Silva's time.
AS luck would have it, the other fork
broke, and the rider was in sad
plight. Instead of giving up in despair,
he procured couple of large nails and
some copper wire and in little while
had his wheel in shape to get along on
slowly.
From Kahuku to the other places
and back to Honolulu was very slow
work, and since 1t was a mere matter
of getting home, Sylvester pushed on
slowly to Waialua and Pearl City, ar
irving at the starting point at $50 p.
M, making the circuit in II hours and
% minutes
Sylvester is convinced that he can
lower the record still further than that
made by Joe Silva, and probably upon
next Sunday morning he will make
another attempt on a Cleveland.

Equals Best Qualities of Central

at Anytime-Letters to MIR. Wight.

The following communications ad-

everyone in the Hawaiian Islands, COM
ing as they do from men whose busi-
ness is the handling of coffees. The
opinion of J. A. Folger & Co. and Mr..
c. E. Bickford are valuble and show
that the Island coffee is equal in every
respect to the imported
Mr. c. l.. Wight, Honolulu, H. L.
Dear Strive have just completed
testing the three samples OF coffee you
sent us yesterday and find them all
very nice indeed. In cup, there is de-
cided preference for sample No. of
1895. In appearance, sample No. 3 is
decidedly the best, being much the
largest bean and very handsome in
color. There seems to be SO much
similarity in the cup quality of these
coffees that we are of opinion that,
were they all the same age, very little
difference would be distinguished one
from the other. AS the purchaser of
coffees places a certain value on the
slightly appearance of the same, we
presume that, in a market where the
purchaser was wholly unacquainted
with the merits of Hawaiian coffees,
he would, without doubt, prefer the
No sample.
You mentioned, when in the office to-
day, that No / was from Guatemala
seed of 1896 No. 2 from Guatemala
seed of 1895, and No. the native cof-
fee This being the case, we cannot
see that there is any material improve
ment by getting the Guatemala seed.
There is no question but what No. 3 is,
in appearance, the best, and, were it
the same age as No. 2, we believe the
cup quality would be equal.
We will be pleased at any time to
sample coffees to the best of our judg
ment, giving you opinions regarding
quality of same, and opinions from
other coffee men here, which we would
take pains to obtain. We trust that
you will not at any time think it too
much trouble to us to answer any in
luiries, or examine any samples that
you may see fit to send us.
Awaiting which, we are,

They Are Plentiful on Trees and
Resemble Blight.
SEE THAT THEY ARE NOT KILLED
Prof. KoebeIe Speaks of Dangers From
Importing Plants From Japan-Seeds
Would do as Well Beetles That
Would Destroy the Sugar Cane.

Prof. Koebele contemplates tour OF
all the Islands as soon as Commissioner
Marsden returns to the city. His visit
will be in the interest of the Depart
with a reporter for the Advertiser yes
terday the Professor said:
Il have had a number of telephone
messages and visits from persons re-
garding what they supposed was the
appearance of the cottony
scale in various parts of the city. In
several instances visitors have brought
specimens to verify their statements.
This scale, as they call it, is the lady
bird in it's early stages, and if people
kill it they are upsetting good deal of
the work of the department If the
people who find them will just leave
them alone, whatever blight there is in
the neighborhood will disappear"
Asked whether any new blights had
been discovered on the Islands, the Pro-
fessor said:
None whatever; we have all we want
to take care of, but so long as plants
are brought here from Japan there is
danger of getting more
How about the inspection of plants
arriving here from the Orient? That
should stop the danger."
Hardly" remarked the Professor
so long as single parasite comes in
on plant there is danger. 1t is very
easy to miss one small bug on lot Of
say fifty, plants, even after a careful
examination. Another thing: Pests
come in the soil around the plants
Oftener than on the leaves or twigs
and branches. To ascertain whether
there is larvae in the soil, it would have
to be taken off. To prevent the import
alton of dangerous bugs an order might
be issued by the Department of Agri-
culture that just the roots should be
shipped. Or better still, import seeds
instead. They will answer the same
purpose as the earth-covered roots.
Let me give you an instance in my
own experience. When 1 was in Hong
Kong l bought twenty-one seedless
Hchee trees, and they were sent to me
after had returned to Honolulu; seven
survived the voyage and were sent to
the nursery. Then I examined the box
the trees (they were planted
in the box filled with earth), and [
found pests dangerous to the foliage,
but there was nothing visible on the
plants; they were around the roots. I
have the plants stored where it is i'm
possible for the pests to get away, and
when the trees are ready for trans
planting, the soil, larvae and bugs will
be burned. If this box had come to any
one not interested in the welfare of the
Islands we might have had another lot
of bugs to contend with
But haven't we had about all the ills
that trees are heir to already?" asked
the reporter.
Not yet. You think you have beetles
but you have seen only those that in
jure ornamental trees. There is a beetle
IN Japan, an inch or more long. which if
brought here would do more to reduce
the output of a sugar plantation than
a strike among the Iaborers. They have
appeared in Queensland and done great
deal of damage. Everything should be
done to keep them away from here"
