Improvement in Tennis.

There have been some very ex-
citing times among the members OF
the Pacific Tennis Club for several
weeks past, the result of the
division of players into classes.
Any one in lower class may chal-
lenge any one in the class above
him to play match game. Should
he win he advances into the same
class with his opponent. A player
may challenge any one in his own
class, giving him Is on every game.
Should he win, the defeated player
must go into the next class below
and await chance to climb again.
This plan has advanced the stand
ard of tennis among the members
of the P. T. G. At present the
standing of the members is as fol-
lows:
First Class-Walter Dillingham;.
Second Class-C. III. w. Norton,
Charles Hyde, VIM. Thrum, VIM.

Third Class-E. A. Jones, Paul

BY RAIL TO CIRCUS.
Great Gathering at Eva to Wit
ness Wirth's Circus.


1t was a happy idea of the circus
management to give a performance
at Eva mill last night. Excursion
trains were run from Honolulu and
Waianae both were we'll patroniz-
ed. At Pearl City large number
of people joined the Honolulu ex-
cursion.
Eva was reached about s p. NJ,
the city train having left promptly
at 7. The big tent was crowded,
all available seats being filled and
numerous people standing. The
performance was greatly appreciat-
ed and consisted of varied pro
gram.
On the return to Honolulu the
excursion, with the horses and
company, reached the city at 11:30
last night. The tent and other
appliances will be brought up this
morning.
The circus will begin their fare
we'll season in Honolulu, prepare
tory to leaving for the Orient,

An Important Discovery Increas-
ing the Efficacy of Sails.

An Important Discovery Increas-
ing the Efficacy of Sails.
An Italian sea captain, Clio Batta
Vasa1lO, OF Genoa, has made very
interesting innovation in the use Of
calls of ordinary sailing vessels. He
claims that the force of wind cannot
fully take effect in a sail, since the
air in front of it cannot properly cir
culate in the inflated part, and re-
mains stationary Immediately in
front of part OF the eail proper. He
avoids this stagnation of air, IS he
calls it, by the application Of a mum
Der of small holes in that part Of the
sail where the depression ia deepest
when it is filled; these holes are re-
inforced like buttonhole so that they
will not tear out. Trials made in
various weather have resulted as fol-
lows: With light wind q boat with
ordinary sails made four knots, while
the new sail increased the speed to
five and y quarter knots. In fresh
breeze the respective speeds were
seven and eight and three-quarters
knots, and Ia 8 strong wind they were
eight and ten knots per hour. 1t
stands TO reason that the -doiDg away
with 3 lager of air, which cannot es-
cape past the sides of a sail, must in
crease the efficiency of the sailboat.
Where the wind formerly struck a
cushion of air, which acted like a
spring mattress, decreasing the actual
pressure of the wind against the can
vas, this current OF air now strikes
greater efficiency. VasallO has re-
ceived much encouragement from
practical sailors, as well as theoretical
scientists.

he had carried in his head for thirteen
years.
Mr.. Mangan is a man about IS years
old. In September. 1888. he was shot by
Thomas Reil. Reil thought he heard a
woman's screams and fired the shot.
The bullet entered Mangan's head near
the ear. The ball pressed against the
brain, and for two years he was re-
duced TO condition of idiocy. He re-
gained his senses. and for the last ten
years has been perfectly rational and
during that period has suffered very lit

reminded him of its presence.
