Columbia-S Shamrock Still Undecided

While the tickle breezes did not allow the first
race to be decided, the trial, though proving
nothing definite, gives renewed promise of a
close race. Opinions have changed and modi.
i ne, somewhat. The original theory that the
Shamrock was the better boat in heavy breeze
has been reversed and vice versa. The press
comedies the British boat to be better handled,
giving praise to Hogarth to the detriment of
Barr, but claim the Columbia to be the better
boat. Sir Thomas Upton is more than satisfied
with the trial. According to the terms of agree
ment, one trial must be decided, time limit or
no time limit, before the next is entered on. The
second trial for the first race took place On Tues.

straight l5me run to windward or eeward
and back The next trial is three leg beat and
came OFT on Saturday, in all probability In the
trial on Tuesday, the Shamrock crossed the line
43 seconds ahead of the cup defender, and fin
lsn nee after much see-sawing and considerable
drifting, about hundred yards ahead, at the
expiration of the time limit. The excitement in
london seemed to be more intense than in New

Columbia, has dropped to even, as a result of
the first contest.

One Way of Getting the Jewels.

A fashionable young lady, not long ago,
drove up in handsome private carriage to
we'll known lunatic asylum, situated a few
miles from Paris, and requested to see the
proprietor. Her wish being acceded to,
she informed the doctor that she desired to
place her husband under his care to see if
a cruel mania, under which he labored,
viz: I" that he had lost large quantity of
Jewels could not be removed.
After some hesitation the doctor con-
sented, and the lady drove away directly to
jewellers in Paris and selected jewels to
the value of several hundred pounds, and
requested one of the shopmen to 90 with
her to her carriage to procure the money
for the goods she had taken. She drove
with him to the asylum, and arriving there,
he was shown into a room.
The lady then sought the doctor, told
him of the arrival of her husband, and
getting into her carriage again, drove away.
The rest may be imagined, but the poor
fellow was confined several days before it
was found they both had been 'sold.'
The lady was never heard of after.-ZX-

may have happened by accident, Or it may have
happened by design. Now, he had very honest
kanaka salesman by the name of Manuahi, who
noticed the disparity of his employers measure.
Consequently, when he sold goods by the yard,
he gave four inches more than the yard on the
counter called for. The customers thought they
were getting bonus. So, when the native girls
went to the store to buy calico for their holokus
they believed they were getting enough extra
cloth thrown in to make the hounces. 1t also
transpired that the patrons of this store always
required something thrown in at the other stores
in town. They would say, Manuahi gives more
than yard, and the storekeeper or salesman,
not liking to be outdone by rival house, would
actually allow something over. So it came
about that things were given gratuitousy in all
the stores, and they called 'manuahi. 1t
is good old custom, and l am glad to see some
OF the Honolulu storekeepers adhering to it.

For this occasion the New York Yacht Squad
ron has consented to nominate the yacht chosen
to defend the cup at least week before the
first race. And, although the first race is fixed
to take place on October 3rd, it was agreed that
in the event of the Shamrock being detained
through stress of weather or any other cause
she should be given three weeks for fitting out
after her arrival, subject to the condition that
the first race must not take place later than
October 9th. The days of the week selected
for racing are Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Satur

ONLY AN ALTERNATIVE WRIT IN HIS FIGHT
WITH RECORDER GOFF OVER
THE open DOOR"

Distriot-Attorney Gardiner yesterday sustained a
partial defeat in his controversy with Recorder Gon
as to the open door privilege Of the District-At-
torney when the Recorder orders the courtroom TO
be closed The controversy arose. it will be remem-
bered whom Mr.. Gardiner tried to force his way
into the room where the Recorder was charging a
Jury He caused the arrest OF the officer who
obeyed the Recorder and kept the door shut. Then
he applied for a writ of peremptory mandamus 10
compel the Recorder to let him into the courtroom
at any time the court in session.
Justice Gegerich in the Supreme Court yester-
day handed down decision denying the District
Attorneys application for a peremptory writ, but
granting an alternative writ upon which there can
be argument as TO the necessity for keeping the
door shut when the District-Attoney was barred
out. Justice Giegerich said in part:
Under the rules governing applications of this
character 1t is obvious that a peremptOry writ
should be refused but l think under the circum-
writer OF authority says that II upon the case as
shond not be disposed Of summariIy but only after

Where the material allegations Of the appca-
ton for a writ are put In issue or where the
that peremptory writ ought not TO be issued. the
Court should award an alternative mandamus in the
first instance In order that the issues or fact may
be regularly tried before the proper tribunal"
An examination Of the motion papers, as well
both parties, satisfies that the presents
questions OF importance to the parties in interest
and the public and that these cannot properly
be disposed Of until all the facts relative to the
matters which | have noted shall fully appear. II
is apparent that inquiry into these questions cannot
be had upon the present application In view Of the
rule that the statements contained in the opposing

Of material allegation, or upon a material allega-

alternative writ OF mandamus should issue. Settle
