.THE NEW MARKET OPENED
VISITORS BY HUNDREDS CROWD
THE PLACE.
Everyone Amazed at the immensely Of
the Enterprise and the Display OF
Good Things.

The Honolulu Market Company open
ed its doors on the Bethel street side
of the Waverley block this morning
and all day the place has been throng-
ed with people. Customers and sight
seers were amazed at the immensely
OF the enterprise and the completeness
of its every department and arrange
ment The market occupies all of the
store house from the Porter Furniture
Company up to the Pacific Hardware
Company's branch store, giving it
three times the width of an ordinary
house in the building.
Though l had just had breakfast it
made me hungry again to go through
the market" said an old resident this
morning. This was doubtless the ex-
perience of all; for a display of every
thing eatable from beef steak to Bel
gian hares, quail, fresh oysters and
oranges is apt to force ones appetite
in these days of "famines' and high
prices.
The market has presented a busy
scene all day. With the crowding of
sight-seers was a heavy sprinlklng of
customers, and employees of the mar
ket, to the number of about thirty.
hurried to and fro in the fulfllment of
orders. The handsome, new wagons of
the company departed and returned at
frequent intervals, each time carrying
away loads of good things for the ta-
bles of the city.
The shop is arranged with three mar
BILE top counters, each in the shape of
a horse shoe. The counter on the ex-
IRENE mdkai side is given over entire
~ TO beef and veal. 1t is in charge of
four experienced butchers, with their
four blocks and tools. To an inexperi-
enced eye it would seem that there
was enough beef and veal inside the
counter to supply Honolulu for a week
In the back lot and at point near the
wrappers counter are immense ice
chests with temperatures far below the
freezing point, filled with beef, veal
mutton, pork, brains, OK tail, fresh
sausage and other things.
The second counter is divided into
two parts, one side making a speciality
of mutton and the other of pork. In
the middle is a lofty shelf arrange
ment carrying hams, shoulders, bacon
and the like. On the front of the coun-
ter such things as pigs feet, sausage
tripe, tongue and other similar arti-
cles.
The third counter is given over to
fish, cheese eggs, hams and lunch deli
cacies. The cheese display is probably
the finest ever seen in Honolulu, COM
bining every kind known on this side
of the world. Eggs are offered at 40
cents a dozen.
Immediately back of this counter is
a large ice chest which has attracted
especial attention. 1t contains turkeys,
chickens, ducks, quail, wild ducks of
various sorts and other game.
Against the mauka side is another
ice chest, glass all around, fully as
large as the others, that is equally
interesting. 1t contains products of
the sea- In it are fish of many kinds
and sizes, the best of the Pacific coast
species. There are also fine crabs, big,
red Holsters and oysters in the shell
and in tins.
On the street side of this ice chest
are slantng tables containing vegeta-
bles and fruits The first has vegeta =
bles of all sorts, such as cabbage, caul-
flower and dozen other things, and
is set off at the top with basket of fine
grapes. The second and third have fine
oranges and apples in variety. Then
come boxes of onions, potatoes, turnips
and crates of live chickens. Sand
