Hawaii is a sure foal getter and
producer of all round horses, and his
colts can be placed anywhere.
"Joe Stacy by "Joe Hooker''-dam,

WAIKIKI.
(By Rollin NJ. Daggett.)

(By Rollin NJ Daggett)
The cocoa, with its crest of spears,
Stands sentry round the crescent shore
And algaroba, bent with years
Keeps watch beside the lanai door
The cool winds fan the mango's cheek,
The mynah fits from tree to tree,
And zephyrs to the roses speak
Their sweetest words at Waikiki
Like truant children of the deep
Escaped behind coral wall,
The lisping wave1ets laugh and leap,
Nor heed old oceans stern recall
Ali day they frolic with the sands,
Kiss pink-lipped shells in wanton gee,
Make wlndrows W th their patting hands,
And, singing, sleep at Waikiki
The closing curtain of the night
Is shading down the gold to gray,
And on the reef the faring light
Of brown-armed fisher, far away,
Dyes red the waves that thunder by
The sturdy bulwarks of the sea,
And, breaking into riplets, die
Upon the breast of Waikiki
Now come wild echoes through the air,
And shadow of rugged face,
With iron limbs and shoulders bare
The chieftain of dusky race;
Whose hostile front, with lifted lance,
And war-prows fecking all the sea,
Sweep through the palms with bold advance
Along the shores of Waikiki
And all unchecked, in martial course,
By menace or the spear of foe,
The misty columns move in force,
Their chieftain leading as they go.
Up! up! Nuuanu's rocky bed
Till 1ooL-ino DOWN +1ro,,rf, clouds +Lax, .aa
The beetling front of Diamond Head,
And silver sands of Waikiki.
On! On! The foe has reached the verge
And Ger the Pali's awful side!
With shout and stroke and battle surge,
Is poured shrieking human tde
Then all is stl-the work is done,
And thus the shadows come to me,
When twilight clouds, kissed by the sun,
Have bronzed the shores of Waikiki
And then, with tropic murmurs blent,
Come distant voices half divine,
While mingled with the ylangylangs scent
Is breath of sage and mountain pine;
And from Diabos vine clad feet,
From desert bleak and green Maumee,
Are waited strains to as sweet
AS eer were heard at Waikiki.
O. Waikiki! O, scene of peace
0, home of beauty and of dreams!
No haven in the isles of Greece
Can chord the harp to sweeter themes
For Hours haunt the broad lanais "
While scented zephyrs cool the lea,
And looking down from sunset skies,
