About fifty clerks were present at the
meeting at the Y. NJ. c. A. held last
evening to consider the proposition of
shorter hours or a weekly half holiday.
G. Stephens presided. e. ]. Hooke was
secretary. The whole subject was dis
cussed. No definite conclusions were
arrived at, though it was pretty gem
orally felt best to drop any effort for
Saturday half holiday, and to con-
centrate on some other day for a holt
day or simply to ask shorter hours. IT
is hoped to interest the Merchants AS
ISOLATION or the Chamber of Commerce
in the matter. Another meeting will be
held next Tuesday evening at which
employers will be invited to be present

PROCESSION OF NENGARS
RAPID TRANsIT's GRAND OPEN.
ING TOMORROW.
The New Line VIII Begin Business on
Sunday-Satisfactory Trial Trip Made
Yesterday.

Tomorrow the Rapid Transit Com
pany will have a formal opening of its
down town line, and on Sunday Sep
TENDER 1, the line WIFI begin regular
business. Manager Ballentyne and the
directors are at work on a timetable
and in the near future they will have
one made up. Five cent fares from end
to end of the road will be the rule, and
the cars will make the entire run in
about 80 minutes. In a short time
when more cars are secured and switch
arrangements are finally completed,
this will be reduced.
Yesterday afternoons trial trip over
the new road was very satisfactory to
the directors of the line. 1t showed
that the tracks are well laid and the
switches and turns are all right. 1t was
the opinion of those on the car mat the
line will compare favorably with the
best metropolitan street railroads in the
world.
Tomorrow afternoon there will be a
procession of cars. 1t is proposed to
run the eight large cars of the company
one after the other over the down town
line traversed yesterday by the one car.
In the leading car will be the govern
ment band. The occasion will be a no
table one, and many will De the pas
sengers. 1t will mark the progress of
Honolulu from the era of slow, mud
splashing mules, and dirty overcrowded
trans to electric street railroad power,
with some of the finest cars to be seen
on a city street anywhere.
The part of the track passed over
down town and up to College Hill, was
run over for the first time yesterday.
On the Punahou line cars have been
running a good deal lately. and already
residents of the district are making use
of the cars to ride to the city and back.
The company at present collects no
fares. Cars are stopped for passengers
to get on and alight on the way.
The cars attracted much attention
yesterday as they ran to and fro on the
Punahou line. Some Portuguese young
sters have found a new amusement in
putting small stones on the track, just
to see how the car brushes them. Down
town and in Aala the welcome car was
watched with jubilation.

BARK's WONDERFUL RUN.
From Hong Kong to San Francisco in
SO Days.

SO Days.
SAN FRANCISCO, August 21.-The
remarkable time of thirty-eight days
from Hong Kong to this port has been
made by the French bark Marechal de
Villars, CAPITA Rioual, which came in
to the harbor yesterday morning, in
ballast. The vessels time is the best
that has been made between the two
ports for ten years. or since the ship
William H. Macy came across in thirty
four days. Steamers do only a little
better
From Hong Kong to the Japanese
coast the Marechal de Villars made or
binary speed, but when not far from
Yokohama an average speed of 240
miles a day was kept up for some time.
The Japanese current was followed to
latitude A deg. north an average of 100
miles a day being made, and at that
latitude strong southerly winds sent
the bark along for several days at the
rate of $50 miles a day. From August
18th to 14th only twelve miles a day
were logged, and then. with a strong
northeasterly wind. the Marechal de
Villars made 242 miles a day, with the
upper topgallantmast fast and the
lower topgallantmast loose.
Upon nearing port the bark lost the
favoring wind, and was many hours in
passing Point Reyes. The great circle
was followed from China, which is I'M
usual for a sailing vessel. On a pre-
vious occasion the Marechal de Villars
made the voyage from Portland, Or, to
Europe in ninety days. The bark
will load wheat here for Europe.
