SHOOTING.

Military Men piiins up Medals.
Capt. Wallis Latest Possible.
Everything is lively at the military
range in Kakaako just now. The
scores made in the semi-annual medal
shoot yesterday were nothing startling
but still they were by no means bad.
Corporal Rose of Company G made
the highest score of the day, his record
being 43. Captain White came next
with 40.
At the Sharpshooters' range the men
are also making up their scores so as
to have a complete six months record
at the end of the year. Some of the
members have put off shooting until
close of the end Of the six months
limit and, as they are allowed to shoot
but one score a day, they have hao
their hands full.
Beginning with January LIST, the
Sharpshooters will have six months

A ROUGH NIGHT
Island Vessels Meet Wea.
Their in Kauai Channel.
Report of the James Makee-Xe Au
Hou Had to Heave to-Hall Dis
charging-Sugar Sports.

The steamer James Makee arrived
in port and hauled alongside Wilder's
wharf al $40 o'clock last night with
a cargo of sugar from Kauai. The
following report was kindly furnished
by Purser Christian:
I'VE left Honolulu on Monday after
noon for Kauai The trip across the
channel was the toughest | have ever
experienced. Not a soul on the ship
slept a wink all night. We were sim
ply bumped about in all directions.
We saw nothing of the Re Au Hou al
though she left an hour before us. Up
on arrival we saw the Re Au Hou
coming along. 1t was learned later
that it became necessary for her to
heave to during the night on account OF
the very rough weather. The Kauai
and Waialeale, both of which left Ho-
nolulu on Monday afternoon, struck
| the same bad luck. The Kauai had
her mainsail ripped.
The lie Au FOu was weather DOuHu
| in Hanamaulu when we left. She
made an attempt to get into kilauea
| for sugar but it was altogether too
rough.
1.-THE Hall was. discharging freight
in Koloa.
"The Mikahala was on her way to
Waimea when we left Hanamaulu. She
had 300 bags of Koloa sugar aboard
"Hanamaulu started grinding on the
18th and Kealia on the 9th.
Sugar left on Kauai-Kilauea, $500
bags; Kekaha, 500; Lihue, 100; Koloa
| Makaweli and Waimea cleaned out.
According to meagre reports which
came on the James Makee, the sport:
at Kappa on Christmas day turned gu
a great success. Hundreds Of people
from all over the Island were presen
at the festivities. The baseball gam
was intensely interesting. The kilau
ca and Kappa teams played until dusl
with the result of a tie score. The bl;
dinner at Kealia which was to hav
taken place at p. M, had to be post
poned until after the game. The kea
liza tug-of1war team won against tn
Kappa and Lihue teams.

About 100 tons of black copper and

The Greatest Discovery Vet.

many others, but never got the true
remedy until we used DR.. Kings
New Discovery No other remedy
can take its place in our home, as
in it we have a certain and sure cure
for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough,
etc" 1t is idle to experiment with
other remedies, even if they are
urged on you as just as good as DR..
Kings New Discovery. They are
not as good, because this remedy
has a record of cures and besides is
guaranteed. 1t never fails to satisfy.
