A portrait in oil of Charles NJ.
Cooke. president OF the Bank OF Ha-
wall, and one Of the best known of
Hawaii's citizens. may be seen at the
studio of ]. j. Williams, the pioneer
photographer, located on Fort street.
The portrait has been viewed by a
number Of the intimate friends of Mr..

painting and good Coloring. BY some
1t Is pronounced better than any por-
trait ever done here. 1t is certainly
far and away superior to most of the
work OF the class that has been put
forth here by visiting artists from
time to time. The author Is the Jap
anese, Banko, IA new arrival, who has
located here permanently. He Is oi
the Orient by birth only. Banko was
educated in the United States. Like
Benjamin West, he was an artist from
childhood. For place Of training he
selected the Pacific Coast, and was a
student Of the best schools and fore
most masters for seven years. He
holds the coveted gold medal award OF
the San Francisco school, which gives
him equal rank with the many distin-
guished artists who have homes on
the Pacific Coast. Banko Is modest
an Intelligent gentleman, whose artis-
tic temperament and true love for cul-
ture are noticeable at once. All VIII
meet him will be impressed with him
and win feel that he should be en-
| couraged to remain in Honolulu as a
| member Of the art circle so small, bu,
so genuinely valuable. He has pro.
duced his first portrait under great
difficulty. The face of the subject Sc.

day. Oct. s, contains an illustrated
article on the largest and smallest
dogs in the world. The picture OF
Nero, a Rutland dog, is accompan-
led by the following text:
Nero, who has the reputation Of
being the largest dog on record,
lives in Vermont and is owned by
Judge Wayne Bailey of Rutland.
He is Il German aud English mastiff
and is six years old. His length
from tip to tip is seven feet and four
inches and he weighs 2S4 pounds.
In height he is IS IL inches and
his girth measures 81 inches. The
measurement around his neck is 3,
inches, while his forelegs measure
1912 inches.
He is a noble fellow and although
always quite gentle to ladies, the
other sex have to be on their good
behavior. He is in charge of a
keeper.
An evil looking peddler called
one day at the house of Judge Bal
ley and insisted that Mrs. Bailey
should purchase some of his wares,
but upon MIS-. Bailey's refusal he
threw himself in apparently a fit
upon the floor. Mrs. Bailey called
Nero, and with great bound he
came to her rescue. The peddlcr's
fit ended at once and he left, not
even stopping for his hat.
