it possesses a famous pagoda that can

TOMORROW THE DEMOCRATS.
Braves Preparing for the Pow-Wow
at the Drill Shed.

The Democratic braves of Honolulu
are mixing their war paint. Tomorrow
night at the drill shed will be held the
first pow-wow of the party in Hawaii
They are enthusiastic over the oppor-
tunity to tell the history of the party
of Grover Cleveland, and promise
speeches that will raise the roof of the
wigwam. A number of those most
prominent in the Democratic ranks
have announced their allegiance but an
evening paper claims others for the
party who deny the allegation
and who say they will prove their
statements by not being present at the
meeting.
DR.. John McGrew, whose political
complexion is settled, has come out in
an interview in which he proclaims his
belief in Thomas Jefferson Democracy
Others who also affirm their fealty to
Democracy do not mention Thomas JEFF
ferson. The shed is being gotten ready
for the rally and doubtless there will
be many present.

BIG DEAL
DOWNTOWN
McGreW Property Sold
to Alex. Young.
BUSINESS BLOCK GOES UP
Slice Of Arlington Hotel Tract IN.
cIuded and Price is Nearly
100000.

The Advertiser is able to give the do
tails OF one of the biggest real estate
deals In downtown Honolulu propertv
that mas yet taken place. The extensive
estate of DR.. John McGrew. on Hotel
street between Fort and Alakea streets
has been sold.
Hon. Alexander Young Is to be the
purchaser, and the deeds of transfer
VIII be completed this morning and
concluded at once as the Minister leaves
this afternoon for San Francisco by the
Australia. The price is said to be
about $4,000, and the property to be
taken In will not only include the big
tract belonging to DR.. McGrew, but also
slice of the Bishop estate property di-
rectly adjoining that of the doctor and
fronting on King street. OF the sum
paid DR.. McGrew gets s15O,OOO.
The sale has been In contemplation
for some time, but owing to the Joining
OF the two pieces of property to be sold
at the same time. considerable time has
been lost. DR.. McGrew's property has
frontage of about 157 feet and a depth
OF about $50 feet, but is not regular in
contour. The Bishop estate owns the
Arlington Hotel premises, which extend
through the block from Hotel to King
street. fiaring out on the King street
side, so that a wing extends along the
rear fence OF the McGrew property to
the Waikiki boundary. Thus Mr.. Young
will have an almost perfect rectangular
strip Of ground from street to street.
The purchase OF these two pieces OF
land also includes a string of the Ar
lington premises from Hotel to King
street, of about 20 feet. A strip of simi-
lar width, or even more, will be taken
of the McGrew property and a street OF
80 or so feet opened up, thus giving an
important artery in the block, which is
altogether too big at present for ordi-
nary business purposes.
BY this means both the Bishop estate
and Mr.. Young secure a fine frontage OF
nearly 400 feet. The advantages Of this
are manifold. Not only Is the value Of
the property greatly appreciated, but q
new business street Is added to the con-
gested section. Just what will be done
TN the way of new buildings has not
been finally decided, but it IS quite pos
sible that n modern four story Office
building, costing S400, 100000, may
be erected. taking in the Hotel street
frontage and that of the new street for
a considerable distance down the bio tx.
There Is also some talk of the build
ing OF n fine new hotel, but the pros
poets are more in favor of the office
building on account of the excellent
business location.
The McGrew mansion now standing
on the premises was built more than
fifty years ago by DIR. X. A. 5. Wood,
and has been occupied by the present
holder for more than thirty-three years.
In It's day II was the handsomest resi-
dence In Honolulu, and has been the
scene OF much OF the social gayety.
