THE FREDERICKSBURG stat sd
10 yesterdays Gazette, the President
on that day sent to the Senate the NOM
nation OF Joseph L. Crupper, to be
postmaster at this city. In speaking
of Mr.. Crupper the Washington cerres-
pendent OF the Richmond Dispatch says:
This Is q reappointment, and, OF
course, confirmation will follow. AS
foreshadowed in this correspon-
deuce, the republican Slate com.
mittee is still 10 the ascendant. Mr..
Crupper is its secretary and treasurer OF
campaign funds. Ii then goes without
saying that no attention has been paid
by the President, the Attorney-General
or the Postmaster-G General ID the friv-
olous charges that were preferred by the
Williams Russell republican faction In
Richmond. II is equivalent to notice
to them from headquarters to "go way
back and sit down."

the Department of Public Works, has
informed some of our leading citizens
that the arrangements for the con-
struction O. Lahaina Water Works
have been ed On, and the well

during the latter part of this month.
The reservoir will be located just above
the Ice Factory.
Most of the Lahainaluna boys passed
their vacation at their homes on the
islands, and returned on the north
bound steamer. Consequently there
were no recitations at the Seminary on
Monday or Tuesday. There We're twen-
ty students in the chapel on Tuesday
morning. Five new scholars have en-
I tered the Seminary, more are expected
and the prospects for the present term
are quite favorable.

Miss Barker, takes the second primary
grade in the government school, and
Mrs. Dickinson retires from the corps

Captain James ]. Lewis, the new
commander Of the Wailuku Salvation

Hoolulu Park will probably pass
from the control of the Volcano Sta
bles and Transportation Company into
the hands of a jockey club now in proc
ess of organization in this city. Two
meetings have been held, at which the
terms on which the property was to
pass. was discussed. The Jockey Club
II organized will become the owner of
the race track property and become
responsible for its management. The
management of this prperty by Mr..
Mckenzie has been highly satisfactory
10 the public and to turf men general
ly. Mr.. Mckenzie. however. holds that
the task of organizing and pulling of
race meetings is a job requiring too
much attention for one man alone to
handle 10 the best advantage. AS a
/ result these negotiations have sprung
up and the outlook is favorable for
their early consummation.
Incidental to the discussion of terms,
the manner of conducting Hoolulu
Park as a recreation ground has been
touched on slightly. The new plan in

their defeat, to T. by the Hilo nine.
They, however, still believe that they

their recert defeat. They landed at
Hilo at p. m, December 81, after an
extremely rough trip. The next morn
ing at 10 o'clock they had to play ball.
feeling half sick, with the ball ground
seemingly swaying up and down. They
requested to have the game postponed,
but the Hilo boys said a postponement
was not possible. They asked for an
other game with the same nine. but
Hilo could not get together or keep
together the same players. However,
another game was played on the I'd,
in which six of the original Hilo nine
participated. which Wailuku easily won

WORLDS FAIR OPENING DAY.
Agitation Favoring April Ist In
stead of May Ist 1904.

st. Louis, Sept. 23-Some of the
state commissions have expressed
themselves favorable to opening the
Worlds fair on April LIST, and closing
on December LIST, 1904. Some of the
also understood to be favorable to this
plan The argument is made that
the exposition will be so vast that the
longer time will be desirable. Spring
opens month TO six weeks earlier at
st. Louis than il does in the latitude
of Chicago and the New England
states aud weather conditions will be
favorable to the earlier opening OF
the exposition. Whatever plan the
state aud foreign commissions and the
government representatives may favor
will prevail. To have the Worlds
fair in full swing month earlier
than former expositions will be in the
opinion of many distinct advan-
tage to this enterprise. When the
state commissions are assembled here
ON the Both of the present month it
is expected that the concensus of op-
inion as to the proper date of opening
will be ascertained.
