The above lesson wound up with a
song by Miss Stella Smith and her
class, after which recess of 10 min
utes was taken. Mr.. Dumas thereupon
invited well-meant criticism on the
foregoing work of Mr.. Smith. Mr..
Harris was the first to accept the kind
ly offer. The success of this first meet
ing was entirely due to Messrs. Dumas,
Smith and Harris. They gave the meet
ing decided tone.
Mr.. Harris suggested that primary
numbers be taught land it was finally
agreed upon ~ by object, pictures and
marks, (2) by words (oral, with signs),
49, by words written with signs), (4
by figures, after which practical eX-
amples should follow. A discussion of
the advisability of using the signs of
plus, minus, etc., took up sometime. A
chapter of Payne's Pedagogy" was
then read and considered step by step.

ily were the recipients from relatives
in Victoria (Australia) of beautiful
pair of Antwerp homing pigeons, which
were duly installed as pets. One day
the birds were out flying, but only one
returned to the cot, and nothing more
was heard of the other, despite every
possible inquiry, but yesterday let
ter was received from Victoria, in
which the wonderful announcement
was made that the missing bird had
arrived safely at its former home.
There can sbe no mistake about the
matter, as the bird was easily distin-
guished. To reach Victoria from New
Zealand, the bird must have accom-
plished the feat of flying something
like 1000 miles without rest, and, &C
cording to dates, it must have done
the journey in three days, which would
mean that it would have to fly at a
speed of from Is to 20 miles an hour
continuously"

of this statement, as the word of the

JOIN WIN Tie III. N. u.
Now the Honolulu Road Club boys
are feeling as if things had certainly
gone their way. and their smiles de-
note perfect satisfaction at the success
they have had in accomplishing a GER
tain object.
To state it briefly, George Angus, one
of the best known wheelmen of the
city, and several others who intended
starting a rival bicycle club, have seen
the advantage to be gained by hav-
ing one large and influential organi-
cation, and with true sporting spirit
have swung into line and joined their
strength to that of the Honolulu Road
Club. George Angus presented his ap-
plication yesterday, and the others will
follow soon. When all the applications
have been gathered in, which will be
in few days, there will be meeting
of the Road Club for the purpose OF
voting in the applicants.
There is no intention ON the part OF
the members of the road club to make
splurge, but there are two things
which they intend to do. One is the
erection of a house at the Kewalc
track to be used as training quarters
and the others is to procure suitable
building in the heart of the city to be
used as club house for the accommo-
dation of the members and theil
| friends.

great benefit to be derived from the

A. F. Clarke arrived in Newtown, last week, having been absent on trip to the Sandwich Islands about four months.
 7ve sailed from New York on January II, for Colon, pas ipg over the Panama railway, to Panama, & distance of 47 miles. The railway follows the line of the canal, and thousa 1ds of dollars worth of dismantled machinery was observed along the route of the canal. About 1500 men are still employed on the canal. At Panama he passed four days, and on the voyage to San Francisco stops were made at San Jose, San Bias, Acapulco, MsZat- Ian and other points.
 MT Clarke remained at San Francisco 12 days and on February 26 he sailed for Honolulu, where he arrived March 3. This he found bustling city of 50,000, having the air of an American town. The business men and whites appear satisfied with the provisional government. He found the annexation sentiment strong in the island, and the busin ess men of Honolulu are hopeful it may be brought about. There are about 30,0O0 Japanese on the island, and there is considerable feeling of distrust with this element. Japan is believed to have an eye on this group of islands with a view of some day assuming their control.
 While at Honolulu, MT Clarke met President Dole of the provisional govern ment, several times. He describes him as pleasant man socially and very pop ular among the people. The climate he speaks of as simply perfect, the tempera- ture ranging from 70 to 80 the year round. The plantations on the island are largely rnn by American capital.
 On the return trip from San Francisco, MT Clarke come by the Union Pacific, the Chicago and Northwestern and the Mich igan Central. He expects to pass the summer in Newtown, which he regards, of course, as one of the most delightful country towns on the American conti. nent.
