A Case of Wheels" That is Com.
ing to a Head.
For several weeks past, a Portuguese
who from his actions, seems to be de-
mented, has attracted the attention of
many of the business men who go
down early to their various offices.
The man in question is a tall fellow
with curly hair. From 1870 until 8
O'Clock every monring he may be seen
on the corner of Fort and King streets,
glancing mysteriously in the direction
of Waikiki At o'clock he may be
seen in front of the statue of Kane
hameha I. in the Government build
ing yard and at II noon, again in the
same place. His actions there are just
as peculiar as when standing on the
corner. He will turn his head to one
side and turn around several times
Then he will stop and go the other
way, probably to counteract the dizzi-
ness.
In the afternoon he may be found at
the Royal Mausoleum in Nuuanu. His
haunts at night time have not yet been
discovered.

YES! WE ARE
THE IGNORANT PIE AND CAKE
MAKERS OF HONOLULU.

After 18 years of experience in our
trade, we refuse to learn how to use
stale eggs and vile compounds, Of
various names, so that very liberal
quantity of ammonia, alum and salt
petre must be used to kill the horrible
aroma and taste Of the bad material.
In our Ignorance" we use only the
freshest of eggs and pure leaf lard,
put up by the Western Meat Company
Of San Francisco, latter they received
our order by the Australia), and sent
by return steamer. If you are wanting
pies or cakes we are pleased to show
you the material our goods are made
from. Our pies are said to excel
SWANS, by those who have used both.
Our sweet yeast bread is something
new in this market. We have only
used it for two and half months and
have never had the slightest sign of
that sour taste which is so troublesome
in this climate.

A SCHOONER MAY CHALLENGE
Watson Building a Two-Masted Yacht
Which May be Heard From.

W AAACA 4hds OS AoAi"
NEW YORK, December 19-At the
New York Yacht Club there is a sus-
picion that a challenge may be forth
coming for the Americas cup This
suspicion is based upon the building by
Watson in England of full fiedged
racing schooner up to the limit for that
rig, 115 feet water line.
Had the new boat been spared and
rugged as a cruiser few would mind it,
but when it is given out that she will
have the biggest racing rag ever worn
by a double masted vessel this alters
things, and it seems plain that she is
intended for racing.
1t is conceded that in case chal-
lenge should be sent-and one can be
issued as last as February-Americans
would have to build schooner, as the
new boat with her so feet of extra len
9Th would have to give the Defender
not more than 80 seconds in 40 mile
race.
But the prospect of challenge for
1898 is very doubtful one, and but
few yachtstmen on this side of the At
lantic believe one will be sent.
Mr.. H. Maitland Kersey said yes
terady: Il saw Mr.. Watson when in
England short time ago and he told
me that he had always had a great de-
sire to design and build a racing
schooner
