AGRICULTURAL SHOW.

The suggestion made in another col
show is decidedly a good one. Every
state in the Union has it's state fair.
and nearly every county its county
fair. The state fair is a great func-
ton, and sometimes blossoms into
something greater than mere local ex-
hibits. There is no doubt about the
amount of good that these gatherings
do. Just as physicians and teachers
benefit by meeting once year and
discussing professional matters, so
will farmers and cultivators find an
advantage by meeting together and
exhibiting their products.
But this would be no new move. In
the reign of Kamehameha TX an Hawa-
iian Agricultural Society was formed,
and flourished for some years. There
were regular shows and diplomas and
medals We're awarded, some of which
must be in existence still. In connec-
tion with this society there was an ex-
detrimental garden, situated at the COR
ner of Emma and School street. Very
prominent among those who took an
interest in the society was the late
Thomas Brown, himself thoroughly
practical horticulturalist. Gradually
interest in the association sank and
more than thirty years ago it ceased
to exist.
Then some fifteen or twenty years

The Honolulu stock market has at
tracted considerable attention. Most
of the coast papers make mention of
it, and even far vii publishes the stock
list in full and macks its lips over
the prices scheduled.

The appointment of Gardner Will

MORE FOOD THAN WAS NEEDED
AN UNEXPECTED SITUATION
 DEVELOPS.

Twelve hundred pounds of the bird for which the American people give thanks, 300 pounds of choice cuts of beef, TOO loaves of bread and 1000 pies.
 This was the Christmas offering of the Salvation Army to the unfortunates of San Francisco who depended upon char ity for their Christmas dinner.
 It was the expectation of the army that there would be the usual demand upon their resources. In other words, that 1t would be necessary to attend to the wants of about three thousand people.
 The food was cooked and served in ad- mirable shape. The turkey was tender and juicy and the accompanying dishes all that could be expected It goes with out saying that these good things were thoroughly appreciated by those who par took of the hospitality of the army, but there was a surprise In store for the management.
 The tables were set to accommodate 300 at each sitting and the first two tables were we'll filled, but the third was scat tering and only about 1500 guests were entertained instead of the 5000 that were
 I've can only account for the remark able falling off in the attendance on our Christmas dinner on the ground that there is less real distress this year than in preceding years,'' said Lieutenant Colonel Evans, commanding the Salvation Army forces of the Pacific Coast "We prepared for the usual number but much to our qualification they did not appear.
