The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1900-10-15

Ir1ves. Saturday was dull. The arrival
of the Island steamers made little stir
except when the passengers were dis
embarking after which nothing but the
chugg-chugg of the donkey engines on
the ships discharging coal and lumber
was heard. Naval row presented an
unusually bare aspect. The United
States tug Iroquois was the ONLY yes
sci making use of the anchorage. There
is big fleet of coal vessels on the way
to Honolulu and upon it's arrival the
harbor accommodations will be strain
ed to the utmost
ALMOST A BULL FIGHT.
Loungers at the Wilder wharf on
Saturday just after the arrival of the
kinau narrowly escaped witnessing
bull fight in Texas cowboy style. The
kinau brought in a deck load of cattle
and began landing them on the dock as
soon as the vessel tied up. A fine i'm
ported Australian bull Just from the
Colonies was secured to one of the shed
posts and the first steer landed from
the kinau brushed up his anger. He
rugged at the rope which held him and
gave unmistakable signs of fight. A
stevedore made mistake in leading
the steer to the post where the Aus
trallan bull was paving the wharf and
then the fun began. The latter lowered
mis- head and attempted to bury his
sharp horns in the inoffensive and tired
steer. The latter lodged and ran
around the post with the bull in fuII
pursuit. Two or three times horns
We're locked. Finally the rope on the
Dull was loosened and the spectators
were disappointed
