 cert.
 Last night was Momauguin night at Cosey Beach. and right successful it was. The success of the evening was but another demonstration of the pop ularity of these festivals the railroad has arranged, and but warrants the continuance of these Wednesday night festivals.
 The fireworks were most enthusiast .cally received. and Bandmaster Fichtrs appropriate programme met with an applause that was most gratifying. The illumination of the Momauguin was ma teriaIly enhanced by the cottagers, who entered heartily into the spirit of the evening, and the fireworks, too, were applauded frequently.

Of Prince & Whiteley-Features ana
 Outlook.
 New York, July 16.-Europe again sent buying orders to this center amounting to probably 25 or 3OOOO shares. Developments over night con- tinued favorable, crop news was good, general trade reports were of favor able nature, strike and labor discon- tentments seemed in a fair way Of be- ing settled one way or another, the outside interest that is operators who heretofore when stocks sold much lower were very lukewarm are showing more inclination to invest or buy speculative ly; and yet the opening of our market was rather tame. No doubt after recent sharp advances amidst all news which could be only construed as unfavorable, there must be a desire to realize longs and the latter end purchasers will be the ones who will have to carry the bur- den of the general market. Many prop critics deserving of merit have not en- hanced in value very much; they are being taken in hand now by those who have disposed of the recently manipu- lated high priced properties and can easily see their way clear in purchases of them. Commercial markets don't present much chance of interest. Money is firm on time, call money is not much changed.
 Foreign exchange firm but gold ex ports are not imminent, actual short rates 487.S5.
 Grain markets were soft cotton ne glected speculatively crop reports Fare god and the South and home profession als are selling the new crop or portions. Short interest is large but the consump tive is larger. On any fair recession we would recommend buying. The stock market during the last hour was some what irregular but in main with a good undertone. During the past few days the market has had to take consider able long stock still the promise of higher prices is prevalent.
 The market closed with a good under tone.
 Total sales S31 200.

 Last night Savin Rock park and grove was a veritable village pIucked from the heart of the Mikado's king dom. Over fourteen hundred Japanese lanterns, softening the rays of the in candescent lights that swing over the grove and park, produced q most magi- cal effect. As one entered the grounds an expression of admiration could hard ly be repressed, and many of these ex- clamations were heard on all sides.
 This illumination feature will be con- ttnued tonight in addition to the bal loon ascention, and tomorrow night there will be display of fireworks on the ball ground that will eclipse any previous displays.

CRAVE ALARM FELT
ABOUT THE FATE OF
BRITISH SLOOP CONDOR

British Consul W r. Hoare feels
very much alarmed over the fate of
the sloop OF war Condor. which is
now 81 days out from Victoria for
Honolulu. and he is inclined 10 regard
her as lost. The Ventura did not
bring him any information from the
Admiral OF the Naval Station at
Esquimalt concerning her where
abouts. although it is possible that
an answer TO a telegram of inquiry
which Mr.. Hoare sent some time ago
may have been sent in the register
ed mail.
There are now seven sacks OF mail
matter for the Condor at the local
postoffice This fact seems TO indi-
cate that. when she left Victoria.
there was no doubt about her being
bound for this port.
Press dispatches brought by the
Ventura state that considerable alarm
is felt in Victoria and San Francisco
about the fate OF the Condor. The
British vessel Fhaeton is being pre-
pared at San Francisco TO 90 out and
search for her

HAWAIIANS ENlISTING.
Five Native Boys Accepted on the
Training Ship Mexican.

4 number OF Hawaiian boys We're
az the boat landing early yesterday
morning waiting for the Mohican's
launch which, at 5 o'clock. took them
over to the training vessel TO be ex-
amined for entrance into the United
States service. Five were accepted
and two rejected. while several others
must return today.
The offer OF Captain Cowden to
take dozen native boys on board
the Mohican has excited much en-
thusiasm among them and created
much interest among naval officers.
The response to the offer has been
very satisfactory so far. Inasmuch
as the vessel is to remain in port a
week longer it is expected that a
number of Hawaiian boys who desire
to enter the service of the United
States navy, will take advantage OF
the opportunity which is now offered
to them.

The first day az sea for the sailors
Of the John and Winthrop was one
of cruel receptions. They thought
they were to be only passengers, but
the captain thought otherwise.
Seasickness notwithstanding, they
were ordered up aloft 10 unfurl the
sails. and. under the directions OF the
big Cape Verde Island Portuguese,
who are officers of the ship, they did
it in a lively fashion. Up the rigging
they went. and then on rope 10 the
farther end of the yards. Some of
them would have left their work I'M
finished. but for the presence Of the
big colored officer near by.
Crew Prepares to Escape.
When the fourth mates illness
towards Hawaii, the men breathed a
sigh OF relief and secretly made pre-
parations to add to the floating pop
ulation OF Honolulu.
They counted without their host,
however. Captain Macomber knows
a thing or two in the whaling bust
ness. and ii is not the first time that
he has had such a crew. In fact no
other kind of a crew can be secured
to go whaling.
Captain Macomber did not bring his
ship inside but kept her cruising out
side under short sails. waiting for the
return of his fourth mate.
The John and Winthrop will pro-
coed on her long cruise early this
morning.
