behind il as well as what is before
When 3 bird returns from a journey
over much new territory, this protrusion
OF the eyeban is greatly increased, in
dicaung TO what a great strain the
powers OF vision have been subjected"
To the second point, the size and shape
Of the head, very little attention is
paid by American fanciers, though the
Europeans look upon it as prime i'm
pOrtance. II is generally concede by
Americans that the shape makes very
little difference. The skull may be fiat,
long, and narrow or high, short and
wide, but il must have room for the
brain, and for a large brain at that,
otherwise the bird is not considered for
racing honors. Particular stress is laid
on this feature in Belgium and Holland.
The shape and size of the chest are OF
great Importance. 1t should be full and
broad. A narrow-chested bird can fly no
great distance without eXerting the mus
cles which give fullness TO the breast
beyond their endurance. The wings and
tail should be exceptionally long, as the
tail acts as a rudder, and the shorter
wings require much added exertion for
the same amount of flying. There arc
some fanciers who contend that the first
Matching of the season are not TO be
preferred for racing. but the majority
pay no attention to that.
But even the best-bred hOmers have TO
be trained carefully and intelligently be-
A4AE LAAEe eAE tAAE4G0 Ii RACES w me
The physique OF the average bird is
well developed at the age of ten weeks.
il is generally considered best TO give
much longer time for the brain TO
develop before the bird is trained for
work Usually at the age of four
months the first trial trip is made. He
IS then flown from distances between two
and seventy miles at intervals of two or
three days. Many excellent birds are
lost in these trial trips, and those who
return after a reasonable time are con-
sidered fit to be entered in the young
birds races The shortest of these races
Is one hundred miles, and birds are
not supposed to have been flown more
than ninety miles before taking part in
these speed trials.
This system of training is supposed to
accomplish two widely different results
for the young bird. In the first place it
teaches them to return to their lofts,
and in the second they develop the mus
cles and prepare them for the hard work
which the races win require of them.
Fer the old birds these training trips
are made with the sole view of getting
their muscles limbered up again and
toughened for the longer races.
The Hawaiian gazette., 1897-03-02

former theory that the birds We're guild
ID exclusively by Instinct seems dis
proved by the frequency with which
even the best trained and highest bred
homers have been lost in fOgs. Isrring
the recent Poultry Show. when several
of the pigeon fanciers were interviewed
on the rearing and training of homing
pigeons. one Of varied experience satd.
Instinct is unerring, and the fact that
the houing pigeon not only frequently
errs but at times shows great iadeC1sion
as 70 the route il viii take proves COM
clusively that il is not governed entirely
by instinct There is no doubt that the
birds possess a high order of intelligence,
which is often shown when they become
lost in a race by their return - the
room IN which they have been kept at
the starting point
The color Of a pigeon does not signify,
but the rule in breeding is TO cross the
colors when practicable In selecting
homers for racing even the best fanciers
are often mistaken and select birds that
cannot fly twenty-five miles without be-
ing lost. Often the meanest looking
bird, apparently without q good point,
leaves its handsome rival behind. Still.
there are four points always considered
in selecting and breeding hOming pigeons
for racing purposes. These points are
the eyes. the size of the head. the width
OF the chest, and the length OF the tail
and wings"
In speaking OF the eye, one successful
fancier has this TO say: THE white eye
may mean cumulet, and, II so, indicates
that the bird will fly high, have great
endurance and wing power. II the eye
is dark. the head round, the beak short
and close fitting. there will be pre-
p0nderance OF the owl type, and this bird
will in all probability fly later at night
than any other type. But. whatever the
color. the ball must extend beyond the
line OF the head and be so placed that
the bird should have a view of what is

The ladies of ST. Andrews Cathe-

cess of their fair in the Sunday School
room of the Cathedral Saturday after
noon al evening. A constant stream
Of people throughout the hours ad-
vertised was the good fortune of those
who had the affair in charge.
During the afternoon the band
stationed on the lawn, furnished the
music and in the evening, this fell
to the lot of the Hawaiian Quintette
Club.
The Sunday School room was most
beautifully decorated for the occasion,
tropical plants filling all the corners
and trailing vines and leis decorating
the various booths. In the evening,
the soft light OF lanterns served to
produce a very pretty effect
The ladies who had the work of sell
ing the various articles did the duty
assigned them with SO good effect that
something over $4,000 was cleaned.
The ladies are very grateful to Min
lister Cooper for his kindness in allow
ing the band to be present The pleas

OF Queen Street.

EGtltlOH EESS@IllGu loE EAlGHSiOu
of Queen Street.
It was only about a week ago when
the matter of the extension of Queen
street into the Kewalo tract was men
toned and the impeachment of a few
feet of stagnant water preventing such
an extension dwelt upon.
The street continued out as it would
be if the obstruction was removed
would mean a great convenience to the
general public and a great er convent
ence still TO the people who have bought
lots in the new and what will material
ize into one of the most beautiful sub
urbs of the city.
To show what a great desire there is
on the part of number of the
principal business men OF the city. the
following petition relating to the Queen
street extension is published:
To ]. A. King. Esq.
Minister OF Interior:
We the undersigned, residents and
taxpayers of the city of Honolulu, do
hereby respectfully petition the Minis
ter of Interior TO acquire. for street
purposes, that certain piece of land,
the property of Mr.. John Magoon, locat-
ed between the extreme southeasterly
end of Queens treet and through Ke-
walo, said extension of Queen street
being graded through to the boundary
line of Kukuluaeo; and upon the ac-
curing of the said piece of land your
petitioners respectfully request that
You have Queen street opened through
SO feet wide to correspond and connect
with above mentioned extension, and

That is just where the matter stands.
Mr.. Desky has not sent another COM
mrnication to the Interior Department,
but has allowed the matter to rest
pending whatever action ne may be
successful in arranging.
1t would pay people to go out to the
end of Queen street on South and just
see what is referred to in this article.
The unanimous opinion will certainly
be to continue the road and thereby add
to the beauty of the already0beautiful
city of Honolulu. But then what is to
be done? Something was said about
the Board of Health yesterday and it is
just possible that someone who spoke
of this means to have conference with
that body soon.

BALL AND BAT.

There is nothing doing in the base
ball line. 1t is the same old story that
it has been the misfortune of this pa
per to detail from week to week. No
meeting, and clamor on the part of
many for such a meeting. It is said
that Punahou and st. Louis are per-
fectly willing to go into an inter-col-
legiate league to be made up of teams
from their institutions and Kameha-
meha. 1t will be remembered that the
last-named institution was the one
from which the proposition came. All
the three colleges are anxious for an
early season, so that the members of
their teams, hailing from places out
of the city, if they play, will not have
to remain over during the summer va
cation. 1t is a good move, and one that
should be taken UP by the other clubs
If they start in now, it is probable that
there will not be a three-cornered
college league, but one such as there
was last year.
Perhaps it is custom that makes the
teams, other than college, sticklers aft
er late season, but change would, it
is thought, be an experiment that would
meet with favor by all
Aside from the practice of the st.
Luois and Kamehameha boys, there
is no activity whatever.

A NEW YEARS CRY.
Jean Paul Richter ON ,:,e Cali Of Re-
morse.


morse.
An old man stood on New Years
night in the window and looked with
deep despair up to the motionless, ever
beautiful sky and around on the still,
pure, white earth, whereupon was there
no one so perturbed and comfortless as
he, for he was near his grave. 1t was
covered by the snow of age and not by
the verdure of youth, and he had
brought nothing out of long, rich life
nothing with him but errors, sins and
misery, wasted body, ruined soul,
the breast full of poison and an old age
of remorse.
His fair youth time returned like
vision to him and took him back to the
time when he had stood with his father
upon the branching road of life. The
right hand path led into the sunny land
of virtue, full of light, good fruits and
angels, wide, still country. To the
left was the underground path of vice,
leading to black hell, full Of dripping
poisons, writing serpents and dark,
sitting steam. Oh, how the serpents
chung to his breastl Oh, the poison on
his .tonguel He knew we'll where he
was.
Mindless and in inexpressible agony,
he called to heaven: ooh, give me back
my youth again, o Fatherl Stand me
on the branching path of life again,
that I may live my life over. "
But his father and his youth were
gone long ago. He saw frefies dancing
over the swamp and extinguished in the
churchyard, and he said, "They are as
my foolish days. - He saw star fall
from the sky, shining as it fell, and
then vanish in the earth '"That is I, "
said his bleeding heart, and the serpents
of remorse made still larger their
wounds.
The Pickering phantasms drew the
creeping somnambulist out on the roof,
and the windmill raised it's arms threat
eningly as if to dash him to pieces, and
as his last hours approached the spirits
Of the dead came from their empty
tombs
In the midst of these terrors suddenly
from the tower came the New Years
chimes like distant church music. He
was deeply moved, and as he looked
around the horizon and over the wide
landscape he thought of his youthful
friends, that now, better and happier
than he, were teachers of the world, the
fathers of happy children and blessings
to mankind, and he said: sob, could [
also on this first night of the year sleep
with dry eyes as once couldi Alas, I
should now be happy if had only fol-
lowed my parents teachings and full
filed their New Years wishes for mel''
The vision Of his lost opportunities
came with fearful olearness before him.
He could see no more. He restrained
his eyes. A thousand hot tears streamed
into the hiding snow. He moaned in
despair, "Oh, youth, only come back
come back againl" And it came back,
for he had only on the New Years
night been dreaming. He was still
young man. Only his errors were not
dream. But he thanked God that, while
he was still young, he could turn from
the pathway of vice into the sunny way
Of the pure land of virtue
