800 FOR A STARTER.
Mr.. ThuPston Wants That New Bicy-
Gle Track.
Tells His Good Reasons Thurston
Stanley VIII Also
Help.

MR.. EDITOR see by the papers
that there is a proposition on foot to
secure bicycle track on the site near
Kawaihao church, now being laid out
by Mr.. Desky, and that two PROPOSE
tions are being submitted by him, one
for a fifty year lease and the other to
acquire the fee simple title.
| believe that the use of the bicycle
will work more in the interests of good
health, good morals and good roads
than any one influence that can be
brought to bear in the city. One OF
the drawbacks heretofore TO it's more
extended use has been the lack of a
good track close at hand wherein
races can be conducted, there stimulat-
ing interest in bicycle use.
The site proposed could not be i'm
proved upon and it seems to me ex-
tremely important that it be availed OF
and that the fee of the site should be
now obtained.
There should be no difficulty in or
ganizing a stock company to obtain
the fee of this land, build a track and
necessary buildings. Certainly there
should not be any difficulty in raising
$4,000 for such purpose, which figure is
given as that which will probably be
necessary.
l would urge upon those who are in
| charge of the matter to make up theil
minds that they are going to have the
track in fee and go ahead on thai
| basis.
AS a starter, Thurston and Stanley
| hereby offer to incorporate the com
pany, draw bylaws and all other docu
ments necessary in connection there
with, without charge, and l PERSONAL!
offer to take 500 worth of stock il
the company.

Usual Batch OF Offenders Before
His Honor.
Judge De La Vergne adjusted his
new gold spectacles yesterday and
surveyed the half dozen culprits be-
fore him and wondered what the re-
suit would be. Following the usual
course the petty offenders had the
| first chance at justice and those on
hand yesterday morning got it in way
that convinced them that the judge
| had enjoyed his breakfast without
partaking of the dyspepsia breeding
hot cakes.
James Kelley, young man with a
| face which suggested sorrow and re-
walls of room on the lower floor of
the station, was charged with batter
ing another. Jimmy is a sailorman
and plead guilty. Two dollars squared
him with the judge and he smiled him
self out.
Two DRINKS, just common DRINKS,
agreed with the arresting officers that
they had overdone the thing and plead
guilty; So each made them even with
justice and they pungled.
The weakness of the fair sex was
beautifully illustrated in the case of
Kaolalo who was in the tolls on the

was locked up and the wife commenced
to think it over she remembered that
she had fallen on a trunk while he had

| the mysteries of the minuet Evidence
was introduced to show that the hus-
band was in the habit of practicing
| cross counters and short arm blows on
his wife and the judge sent him over
