ENGLISH SPORTING METHODS.

Good Enough for England, but OBJ
jectiOnable With American Game.
From the New York Sun.
There are a whole lot Of people," said a
sportsman the other day, "who are posi-
lively shocked at some of the bags Of birds
made by English hunters. They can't see
why an Englishman kills thousand birds
a day, and calls 1t sport, but here they make
a mistake. These thousand birds are Eng
lish pheasants, hand-reared and kicked up
with clubs and boots to make them fly to the
ambushed hunter somewhere ahead Of the
beaters. There Is some satisfaction in bring
ing down a flying bird, and that Is what the
Englishman Is after. If the American had
to hunt such birds as the Englishman does
he would do exactly as the killers Of thous-
ands do, but as things stand the American
hunters get as much satisfaction out of,
say, dozen ruffed grouse, or fifty prairie
chickens, as an Englishman gets or an
American would get out Of killing hundreds
of half-tamed birds.
But what we object to here in America
most emphatically is using English methods
to hunt American garue. There was that
fellow from England who went out west
some years ago and had drive Of elk and
killed a hundred of them in an hour or so in
the corner Of a fence he put up to stop them
They used to bring their punt guns over
here, too, and often killed a hundred sitting
ducks at shot till the various states put
stop to such practices. If they will hunt
like we do, they are welcome but we won't
tolerate any of their meat-heap methods

Tom Tucker of the Boston team, who

Will not even entertain a proposition look

ner said: Cartwright will not be released
from the Washington Club unless 1 can

ever money considerations may be offered
as an inducement, but am ready at any
time to make exchanges that will add

for severe service, such as is now handled
by heavy steam locomotives. In its con-

Each one of the axles is equipped with a

the locomotive will be about 10000 pounds
The under frame is Of steel, with heavy oak
bumpers The floor is covered with q half
inch steel plate over its entire surface,
which is used to increase the stiffness and

Ficm the New York Times.
Two little pieces of paper, which, when
originally issued by the Canadian govern
ment, were valued at I'D. each, were sold
by auction Thursday night in this city for
1890. The price paid was the largest
given for any single lot Of stamps in the
three days sale which closed Friday night.
All Canadian stamps Of the issue of 1851
are rare, but these two 12-pcnce stamps
are believed to be the only unused ones of
the kind printed On laid paper. The stamps
were purchased by Mr.. Needham Of Ham
fton, Ont. who sold these same stamps to
the company holding the auction and got
$500 for them. Mr.. Needham also bought
a number of other Canadian stamps at
prices ranging from SO to $1S5.

A MISSISSIPPI RIVER YACHT.

Bulfe BuSch's Boat Antelope, in
Which He Passes Much of His Time.
From the st. Louis Republic.
Bulfie Busch, the second Oldest son of
Adolphus Busch, has a launch, which he
calls the Antelope The Antelope, as her
name implies, is a slender creature in form,
and quite swift as she courses up and down
the Mississippi river. But her interior is by
no means slender" She is fitted up in
regal style and stocked with the best in
the land. Bulfie Busch spends many a
pleasant evening on board his steam
launch, to which he is welded to the ex-
clusion Of all other charmers. The young
girls in the southern part Of the city say
that is the reason why Mr.. Busch is still
single. They do not like him to think SO
much Of his Antelope. but are anxious that
he choose Penelope. who may not be for
ever weaving her gown and unraveling the
welt waiting for his coming.

the real estate taxes on the pro-
perty. Barring the lumber yards
on the waterfront and a little bit
of Queen street, the row of dilapi-
dated fabrics in question with
its rotten and frayed shingles and
clapboards and its almost entire
lack of modern paint-constitutes
the first unsightly and untidy
view that meets the eye of a visitor
when driving or sauntering up
town from an ocean steamer. 1t
it could be done without too much
appearance of invidiuous or class
legislation, landlords of such pro-
perties should be taxed out of
their obstructiveness toward city
improvement. There are resi-.
dent landlords Of ample means
over properties in other parts of
the city, for whom dose of the
medicine Just suggested ought to
be prescribed. If general
law could be enacted to
cover all such cases, the non
resident dilinquents would be
estopped from complaining of the
treatment. Muttered invocations
to fire have been heard-wicked of
course they are-to come and COM
pei the much desired transform
alton. This good servant but bad
master is something that sensible
people would ever pray to be
averted, for there is no saying
where the purifying butdevastat-
ing element would stop. Yet the
very thought indicates the menace
to valuable property on all sides
which exists in the presence of
that nest of fire-inviting rookeries.
The subject is one that should be
agitated until the desired result
shall be achieved.

working all day on high
stool, a glass firmly screwed

so minute it takes a microscope
to distinguish them, is not the

could fall to the lot of man.

cine in the world could not &C.
complish, cheers up, makes
things look brighter, the next
job goes all the smoother.
Speaking ofthe above watch:
1t was an old one. The wearer
had used it steadily for forty
years. 1t had run enough had
revolved it's wheels so long and
steadily, that at last it was
tired out. The pivots were so
worn, the wheels just wobbled
and wobbled. then stopped al
together. What was to be
done? Throw it away? Get a
new one. Yes, but the wearer
valued it for it's associations, it
was as dear to him as his best
friend;so nothing would do but
build it all over as it were, re-
new the parts, put some go
into it. That we accomplished
it to the entire satisfaction of
the owner, his remarks above
would surely leave no room for
doubt. And we can do the
same with yours, sometimes
they 60 little too far, and the
cost for reconstruction is too
much, but generally no work
is too intricate for us. 1t is
that which we brag about,
complicated work is our strong
hold. Isn't it reasonable now
to suppose that we are better
able to do your less intricate
work? Wouldn't it be safer to
give us the Custody of your
watch altogether, no matter
what the trouble, and have a
feeling of certainty as to it's
treatment!

CITY IMPROVEMENT.

It is gratifying to observe the
care that the Legislature is be-
slowing upon various schemes for
improving Honolulu. The bill
for extending certain streets and
the one for widening certain
streets ought to result, within
measurable period of time, in a
material enhancement of appear
ances as we'll as vast gain to
public convenience. II these mea-
sures only prove as effective, be-
sides as prompt in having effect
after discounting the differing
conditions, as the law of 1892 for
improving the sidewalks, they
will not be beneath any enact
ment of this session in sub
stantial value as factors of pro-
gress. While the public trustees
are thus showing themselves alive
to the demands Of metropolitan
development, there are private in
terests having much to do with
the case which require to be goad
ed into something like public
spirit.
Old Honolulu of the medieval
or wooden age - that is, the
period of transition from grass TO
brick and stone houses-has been
steadily disappearing for about
fifteen years. Take Fort Street,
from Queen to Hotel, for exam
pie, and think of what a trans
formation there has been on both
sides since, say, the year 1882.
Some of the best structures
in those rows were, how
ever, delayed for some years
in being erected by the short
sighted Indifference or obstinacy
of land owners, in some cases non
resident ones. The great China
town fire of 1856 caused a mani
fest improvement in that locality,
making parts of the vistas of King
and Nuuanu streets agreeable to
the vision where before the per-
spective was hideous.
Right in the midst of the i'm
proved areas mentioned, there is
now an eyesore of considerable
magnitude which is all the more
repulsive by contrast with elegant
blocks confronting it. Reference
is had to the row Of seven ram
shackle wooden houses and rude
shanties extending from Fort street
to the Metropolitan Meat Co. IS neat
brick market near Bethel street.
Here the nonresident landlord
is in evidence again, according to
our information. The heirs of the
dead original owner residing
abroad receive good rents for at
least some of the shacks in ques-
ton, while contributing nothing
to the life of the city excepting
