will do his very best for five miles and
that means rapid journeying. Manoa
is strong and is in tiptop form. Dan
Whitman on the Coast was considered
"a few" at plugging himself and will
warm the track on his five mile relay.
Bilmartin will know he has ridden
10 miles when Manoa and Whitman get
through with him. 1t is just this sort
of thing that Bilmartin has been
looking for taking up and putting in
his pocket for the last five years. Syl-
vester, who does anywhere from 25 to
forty miles day month in and month
out, will ride Is miles hard and may
surprise the outsiders as we'll as Bill
martin. The race will provide fine
evening of sport. 1t will be brought
off at Cyclomere week from next Sat

FIRST REGIMENT
Shooting Trophy Offered
By Acting President.
Results of Inspection of Jan. l7-En-
tary Law-Company Reports.

There was an unusually large attend
ance for the regular meeting of the
Board of Officers of the First Regi-
ment, N. G. H. last evening. The spe-
cial turnout was largely for the pur-
pose of welcoming back to the councils
of the field and line Col. ]. H. Fisher,
who has been absent on the Coast for
month.
Quite a number Of matters of in
terest and Importance to the service
were reported upon, introduced and
discussed. Colonel Fisher presided
and Captain Schaefer was secretary.
There was suggested another enter
tainment in the Drill Shed at an early
date for the entire regiment. Guard
and outside talent will be utilized.
Captain Ashley, the quartermaster,
gave the cheering news that as result
of the tenor of the reports of the Off
GERS who made the inspections Janu-
airy II, new uniforms were being turn
ed out as rapidly as possible.
Major Jones was the bearer of pleas
ant greetings from Acting President
Cooper and further message to the
effect that the head of the army wish
ed to offer a shooting trophy to sus-
tain and stimulate rifle practice. There
was applause for this and letter on
the subject will go from the board to
the Acting President. 1t may also be
stated that the regiment is soon to be
presented with handsome standard.
The matter of encampment was TAX
en- up and disposed of in a business
like manner for the evening. The
plan is for an outing of either the en-
tire regiment or a battalion at a time
for week in June or July next. Lieu
tenant-C Colonel Mcleod and Majors
Jones and Mccarthy were made a
committee to further the encampment
plans.
1t is deemed advisable to have q
few changes made in the present mill
tary law, which is faulty in several
respects. To this end there will &C
to headquarters a request for the ap-
pointment of a commission to receive
and originate and compile desirable
amendments to the chapter as it stands
now.
Reports from various companies OF
the regiment were to the effect that
the attendance at drills was good as
ever, interest in shooting quite keen
and general aloha for the regiment I'M
abated.

MANY LETTERS.
People In the States Looking To-
wards Coffee.

Bruce Waring & Co., who have been
advertising Hawaiian coffee lands
abroad and who have several hundred
correspondents on the subject, received
the largest mail yet by the Alameda. A
good many of the writers are appar-
emily very much in earnest in their
purpose of coming to Hawaii. Some of
them lodge all the old stock questions,
but good many go right to the bone
of the proposition and want to know
the cost of land and in parcels of from
one acre up to $4,000. The inquiries are
from all along the Coast and from as
far east as Iowa, Illinois and Indiana.
The people generally who are interest
ed have read Mr.. Thurston's handbook
or the Foreign Office publication or
some other reliable work on the ISL
ands. A few want to change homes on
account of climate. Mr.. Desky will
have every letter carefully answered
and confidently anticipates some tangi-
BILE results from his exploitation of Ha-
ali abroad.
Gear, Lansing & Co., are also for
eign advertisers, or rather advertisers
in foreign papers. They have received
large budget of mail by several
steamers. People want to know about
coffee and climate and cost of living
and labor and how long before a coffee
plantation will return anything. One
hui of capitalists are anxious to pur-
chase big producing plantation out
right.

pose of working to found a home for
the poor children of Hawaii, where
they can be properly brought up, in
the manner of the orphan asylums of
America and Europe.
Indeed, many think the enterprise
too great to establish here, but we
earnestly hope by patience such home
can be established here, and that it
will be an ornament to our Paradise.
''The plan of the club is plain. The
proceeds of every concert given by the
club or under its auspices shall be
divided as follows:
twenty-five per cent for the relief
of its members.
twenty-five per cent for the gen.
eral fund to meet expenses.
Fifty per cent for the Orphan Fund,
which is to help build the home.
article Z of the clubs bylaws reads
as follows: No person is allowed to
become a member unless he agrees to
the above
THE Orphan Fund will be in charge
of a committee to be appointed by the
men and women who will be invited
for that purpose. They will select the
members thereof and make rules for
the proper management of said fund
This can be done just as easily as
Father Dougherty did in New York
with. the home for the orphans he
established.
The only benefit which is expected
the club will get in this matter, is the
pleasure Of attending lectures upon
any useful topic to be given free te
all.
Hoping our friends will kindly re-
spond on the occasions above cited.
