Honolulu was made sorrowfuI at
short warning last night, when the man
hailing therefrom was knocked out in
the first round of what had been an
nounced as a ten-round contest. The
victor was Joe Millett, of San Fran
cisco, and the vanquished Tom Mattox
of Honolulu, as introduced to a fair
sized audience by the referee.
s 1t was biff, bang and break away for
five fistic events at the Orpheum. with
the referee in the majority of them DO
ing the hardest work. Although the
buyers of tickets had nothing but u
sensational fifteen seconds or so for
what they anticipated as their moneys
worth in chief, they had some compen-
sation, in the preliminary bouts. Es-
pecially were they repaid when Young
Hawaii gave a cyclonic exhibition of
pluck and skill, bearing away the laurel
wreath of a cleverly won finish with a
whole round to spare.
Jess Woods, of Whitman & Co.'S
sporting department, was referee of
the evening, and Larry Dee timekeeper.
There was free play of enthusiasm from
partners of the hackers in every in
stance, but with an utter absence of
rough or even unkind words in the cries
of stimulation and applause. "Give
it to him, Bill or 'Now's your time,
Ernest" was the strongest expression
one heard.
HEINE-vAN GIESEN.
The first encounter was a four-round
ore, with clean breakaway agreed, be-
tween Ernest Heine and Frank Van
Giesen, two youthful sparrers. As
Heine curved forward in his chair he
looked anything but the equal in ply
sique of his opponent, sitting erect with
spread-eagle limbs opposite, but the trial
proved a contradiction of appearances.

THE FILTRATION PLANT
REPORT OF COL. MILLER, EN-
GINEER OFFICER IN CHARGE.
Progress Noted on Part Of the Receiver
for Contractors-The Work
Accomplished.

In view of the published complaints re-
garding the slow progress of the work on
the Washington filtration plant. the month
ly report of Col. Miller. the engineer officer
In charge, which has just been submitted,
is of more than ordinary interest. Accord
ing to that officer the work done by the
receiver of the contractors for excavation
and concrete has made favorable progress
50 far as the excavation is concerned.
Five steam shovels and eight locomotives,
1t is reported. are engaged in excavating
and removing the material. From one to
twenty-eight two-mule scrapers have been
used in removing soil over the site of the
plant west of LIST street and in excavating
over bed %. Two steam rollers are at
work on the fill under beds q % and %.
During the latter part of November a
dumping ground was prepared in the Sol
diers Home grounds, just beyond the end
of the sewer, and the sewer is being ex-
tended by concrete steel pipe, three rect
in diameter. to a point beyond the dump.
A building, containing carpenter shop,
boiler room. electric-light plant and con-
crete-mixing plant is being erected on
Michigan avenue near list street. A tres
tie has been built from the building across
LIST street to the cement shed west of LIST
street. Col. Miller says that no concrete
work has been begun, but he says that
three vineyard cubical mixers have been
set up, in addition to a portable one-yard
cubical mixer, placed on the northern edge
of bed II. The railroad track from Univer-
sity street to the filtration plant has been
completed.
The excavation In the we'll of the pump
ing station has been completed, the four
twenty-eight-inch pipes have been connect
ed with the well, the concrete bottom has
been put In, and the concrete walls partly
constructed. The total amount of excava-
ton at this point was 2.919 cubic yards
and the concrete placed during the month
amounted to 442 cubic yards. During the
latter half of the excavation and the be-
ginning of the concrete work some innon-
venience was experienced from water flow
ing In, but no serious trouble was caused,
as the flow was easily taken care of by a
small pump and ejector. Col. Miller says
this water seems to have come from
springs under the hill and not from seep-
age through the reservoir.
Col. Miller says the monthly estimate OF
work done by the contractors for excava-
ton ard concrete shows 80. $50 cubic yards
of excavation and $40 cubic yards Of
embankment under filters. The total
amount of cement received and stored Is
1854. 70.
In closing his report Col. Miller says the
contractor expect to begin concrete work
during the present month.
