the bill providing for the widening an
extension of the streets of HilO ha
passed, it is to be hoped that Bridg

thoroughfares, but to the convenience
of the travelling public, who may have
frequent calls on neighboring blocks
By cutting up the long block, splendid
sites for business corners will be af-
ment will be effected.

horse races on that day. The local
yachtsmen are also seeking champion

some pretty races in Hilo bay MAY be
looked for. DR.. Hutchinson will stake
all his possessions on the possibilities

a few weeks since. J. r. Wilson is
also the owner of a new craft.
