THE BIG MACHINE AGAIN AC-
q TINELY AT WORK.
Rendered More Efficient Than Ever
Before Through the Mechanical
Genius of Engineer Wade

After six weeks of idleness, the big
Government dredger is again pouring
pulverized coral and muddy water
over the mud flats on the Waikiki side
of the Fish Market. The machine
started in on its endless grind last
night. and, barring accidents, not II
wheel will stop turning for the next
50 days. The six weeks of delay has
been wen spent, for the ponderous
machine has been put in such order
that it can do more work than was
ever required of it before.
Chief Engineer Wade explained the
many new improvements to Star
man this morning. Many of them
have originated in his own fertile
brain, and there is ample proof that
he is entirely practical. The cutters
are the most important of the new i'm
provements. rhey are of wrought
steel, capable of cutting the hardest
coral. Driven by powerful machinery,
they cut into the coral bottom, grind
ing it up fine enough to run through
the discharge pipe. The powerful
fans, which suck up the groundup
coral and drive it through the dis
charge pipe are next in Importance.
The $50 horsepower compound en-
CINE, running 1875 revolutions, drives
them at continuous speed of $50 rev.
olutions per minute. These have been
greatly improved.
The complicated machinery tween
decks has all been overhauled, and es-
through clever management, plan
ned by Engineer Ward, has been rem.
dered much more serviceable. The ad.
dition of an so-light electric motor is
a great improvement, as it gives plen

steady cutting and driving to worl

$500 HAS BEEN SUBSCRIBED AL
READY.
The Track Will be Commenced at
Once.-Proposed Night Racing by
Electric Light.

The promoters of the new bicycle
track in Kewalo will meet at the Ha
waiian Hotel this evening to complete
all necessary arrangements for the
starting of the work. The total stock
amounting to $4,000, has been sub
scribed by influential firms and we'll
known wheelmen of the city.
The bulk of the stock has been
taken by Henry Z. Walker of the
Cleveland agency. The firm of f. o.
Hall & Son has purchased GO shares;
c. S. Desl<y. 100: Levers & Cooke, 50;
hawaiian Hardware Company, 30: Pa
cific Cycle and Manufacturing Com
pany, so; f. o. White, 20 shares. Will
liam G.. Irwin, w. NJ Giffard and 9TH
er business men are identified with
the enterprise.
Should the shareholders, in their
meeting tonight, desire to rush the
construction of the track, there will
be no question but that speedy bicy-
clsts will be skimming over the new
track by the Fourth of July There is
"a bare possibility that the track
might be completed a couple of weeks
before that time.
The proposed track and grand stand
will be enclosed in a strip of land at
Kewalo, 300 by 400 feet. Mr.. Desliy
ASKS rental of 5000 year for the
land. It will be a one-sixth-mile track
The boards will be battens, one inch
thick, three inches wide and twenty
feet long. The track will be carefully
constructed at the turns with proper
embankments.
An eight-foot board fence will en-.
close the grounds. The grand stand
will long-25 by 100 feet-with ca
pacity for comfortably seating 5O(
people.
After the track has been completed
it is the wish of the promoters to pu
in electric lights. with view of hold
ing night racing.
Night bicycle races have proved {
great success in the large cities of tn,
United States. The cool evenings il
Honolulu would result in better rec
ords among the riders, and bigger
gate receipts.

JAPS ARE ENTHUSIASTIC.

The japanese of the city have been
holding one or two mass-meetings a
week in the Queen Hotel since the ar
rival of the Naniwa. They deny that
there is anything but a social nature
in the gatherings. People living near
the Queen Hotel insist that they have
never heard such enthusiasm display
ed as is characteristic of these meet
ings. Counsellor Akiyama and the
captain of the Naniwa spoke at Mon

Some people, it would seem,
hardly realize that there may
be as great a variety in the
value of bicycles as in clocks
or other articles where differ
ent grades of work are re-
quired, In building Tribunes
we have the advantage of all
the finest and most approved
machinery. Tribune this year
are finer and better than any
previous year. The changes
this year is in the size of the
tubing to l l.8 inch in the

BRIGHT CHORAL CONCERT
THE MINISTER'S POPULAR CHOIR
SCORES \ SUCCESS.
First Appearance of Honolulu Choral
Society Draws a Large House-A
Good Beginning in Good Cause.

Minister of Foreign Affairs Cooper
is to be congratulated upon the ini-
tial popular concert by the Honolulu
Choral Society. 1t was he who origin
ated the idea of organizing a chorus
which would give regular public con-
certs, thus affording the people an
opportunity to listen to the best tall
ent in the city at low prices.
The audience was very representa-
tive one, and while many more people
could have been accommodated within
the walls of the Opera House, still, the
attendance was large enough to make
the affair a financial success.
The evenings entertainment was
opened with an overture by Berger's
orchestra. The Choral Society then
sang Wagner's "Tannhauser." w. III.
Hoogs fine tenor voice pleased in
presenting "The Troubadour," from
Robinhood The Choral Society and
orchestra gave the selection How
Sweet the Moonlight" by Leslie.
Mrs. f. D. Tenney was in excellent
voice last evening. She made beau
tiful effort with her solo, "Whisper,
and Shall Hear" Mrs. Tenney pos
sesses a rich. soft voice. and her in
depreciation of this selection was GER
tainly excellent. J. w. Yarndley
played violin obligato and Miss
C1Smer accompanied her on the
piano. A word of praise must be
especially given to Miss Clymer. Her
accompaniments were played with
excellent taste.
Mrs. Walbridge sang sweetly and
her fine contralto voice won a hearty
encore.
BENJAMIN L. Marx was obliged to
respond with a second selection. so
well did he execute Spanish Dance"
cornetist of the Government band,
played in fine style. After finishing
"Love's Dream" it was necessary for
him to respond again.
The chorus then sang n selection
from the bohemian Girl" The or
chestra played two or three pieces
during the evening.
The Choral Society now numbers
seventy-two members. The majority
of these have been faithful in their
attendance at rehearsals on Tuesday
evenings in the High School building.
j. w. Yarndley has had the society in
hand and has made wonderful pro-
gress in the remarkably short time
he has been at it,
The next concert will probably be
given in June.

SPRECKELSVILLE STILL ON THE
SAME COURSE.
Anothre Batch of White Men Let Out
of the Big Plantation-Are White
Men from the Coast to Come Here?

The general wedding out of white
men employed on the big Spreckels-
vile plantation is still in progress,
according to private advices received
in this city. When c. A. Spreckels,
in company with mis- new manager,
G. NJ. Boote, made wholesale dis
charge of white men few weeks ago
and'supplied their places with Chinese
and japanese, it was thought that the
management had gone as far as it
cared to in releasing the white
laborer.
But the few white men remaining,
who believed that their positions were
quite safe, were notified last week by
Manager Boote that their services were
no longer needed. Nearly one dozen
men were relieved. This leaves about
eight or ten white men on the entire
Spreckelsville plantation, so it is said.
Half of thsse are under contract for
one or two years time.
urday last were Patrick McGrath, a
luna; James O'Neill, night watchman;
f. Sanguitnetti, storekeeper camp /;
c. Mccarthy, and o. HALEY, lunas;
f. J.. Smith, boss at camp Z, and Z. b
Thomas, general camp boss.
O'Neill and Sanguinetti came to the
| lof@ e.,
on sailing vessel McGrath arrived
in the city on Sunday in search OF
work.
Mr.. McGrath says that the discharg
ed men who did not come to Honolulu
have gone to the Wailuku and other
plantations in quest of work. Some
of the men are in rather Strengthened
circumstances, --.eir discharge being
quite sudden and without moment
notice. He says that the few remain
ing men on the plantation are nov
uncertain about their jobs. They rea
lie now that the management intent
to clear the plantation of white labo
| as 1ar as III is possible anu tney ar
daily anticipating their own dismis
sal.
C. A. Spreckels has gone home. Ru
dolph Spreckels, his brother and par
owner in the Maui plantation, will ar
rive shortly to look after his interes
here. It is understood that the tw
brothers intend to take turns in com
ing to Hawaii to look after the plan
tation.

Spreckels informed Star reporte
that he would secure white labor i
