CYCLING RECORD FOR AN HOUR

1t would seem now that as rapidly
as cycling records are established, they
are replaced by fresh extraordinary
performances. At the Veldrome de Ii
Seine on the 18th May Tom Linton
broke all previous cycling records from
the fifth mile, covering 80 miles within
the hour This morning a cablegram
appears in the Herald announcing
fresh record of Unions. This remark
able rider has now accomplished the as
tonishing distance of 81 miles in an
hour. How much our riders have yet
to do to come near the riders in Eng
land and on the Continent may be judg-
ed from the fact that in November last
year Parsons in Melbourne rode %
miles in 1 hour, 2 minutes and % sec
Onds. OF course the wonderful tracks
at home and the science to which the
art of pacing has been reduced have a
great deal to do with the results OBJ

This is hot weather, food
spelling weather, unless the
proper attention is given
to refrigerator suggestions
There's all sorts of devices
for keeping food fresh, good,
bad or Indifferent. Some OF
the named refrigerators are
no better than dry goods
boxes; the lining is not Iight
and the system Of draught
and air circulation is defec-
tive.
In the United States there
were complaints against the
Quincy, complaints we had
not heard of here. When
we were at the Coast a few
weeks ago, we took the
trouble to investigate and
learned that the objections
were all right, but they were
against the Quincy Challenge

ney Cleanable.
We sell the Cleanable;
We're appointed sole agents
for the Hawaiian Islands and
we don't sell any other. The
Quincy Cleanable is lined
with mineral wool, the great
est non-conductor known to
science; the Quincy Chal
Ienge is lined with charcoal
and IS q cheap combination
that is unserVicabIe.

sweet and apDenzing with a
right refrigerator to help

kept than regained. There
are many refrigeratorS, some
excellent ones but none

we sell them.

FLOAT REFUNDING LOAN.

VIII Attempt to obtain American
Funds-NVin soon Go 10
New York.

The responsibility of floating the re
funding loan now rests with the Hon.
p. c. Jones, the agreement between the
Government and Mr. Jones having
been signed, sealed and delivered Fri
day prior 70 the departure of the Bel
gle
The bonds which Mr.. Jones has to
look after amount 10 s., 800, 900. BY the
Rounding Act passed by the Legisla-
ture, a discount of five per cent and a
commission of two per cent is allowed
and according TO the agreement made
with the Executive, Mr.. Jones is given
until November /, 1886, to consum-
mate the deal.
In speaking of the matter last even
ing Mr.. Jones said there was very lit
tie to be said outside the statement that
he had made the necessary agreement
with the Executive to float the loan
He learned shortly after his arrival
that he would be given the first option,
and since that time he has been de-
voting his attention to preparing the
details of the agreement with the Elk
ecutive Council. When asked whether
American or English capital would be
sought, Mr.. Jones said:
Il shall make the supreme effort OF
my life to float those bonds in the
United States, and l think l can do it,
although I do not care to make any
rash statements at this time.
Mr. Jones viii leave for the United
States by the next Australia at the lat
est, unless private business matters
require his attention here for longer
time. He will probably proceed at once
to New York and place the excellent
financial goods which he now has at
his disposal before the capitalists there
as soon as possible.

What Is
PURIFINE?

1t Is the new disinfectant which
has superseded all other disinfect-
ants, being a scientific compound,
having no odor, yet possessing the
qualities of powerful disinfectant.
The automatic distributor should
be placed in every house in Homo
lulu where odors and germs of dis
ease exist. They are placed free
Of charge, taken care of and kept
working day and night for $1.00
per month. It's an innovation, but
on scientific principles, and ap-
peais to everyone of common sense.
The idea is this: The distributor
drops two drops a minute, day and
night. Foul odors are killed, yet
no disagreeable smell of carbolic
acid or crude disinfectants takes
its place. You don't know that
powerful disinfectant is being used
If you judge by the lack of odor
But it's doing the duty-doing it
well. Can we show you the Ideal
