with the idea of establishing line of
steamers and barges to take the place of

cause of length of time necessary to reach
the destination of the tubers. 1t is expect

SUCCESSFUL RECITALs. We have the
pleasure Of announcing that Miss Guida c.
Homer, who came into this town less than
two years ago and opened a musical studio
on Main street, has met with deserved sue
cess as has been proved by the recitals she
gave on Thursday July 31st and August LIST.
The first recital, given by the Misses
Henrietta Gilkey and Antoinette Weber,
was unusually interesting, the selections in
variety and style showing to excellent adj
vantage the versatility, musical and tech
nical ability of the young pianists. The
manner of interpreting their pieces would
have done credit to much older pupils. The
recital Friday, which was the last for this
season, showed marked improvement
since the winter recitals, each number be-
ing executed in highly creditable and
pleasing manner Both recitals displayed
the fine training which the pupils had un-
dergone and promised much for the next
seasons work will be resumed in Septem-
Der. The programs, carefully chosen, were
as follows.

this city. The Ward will run between
this city and Midway, carrying sup
niles TO the attaches of the cable STA

Puget Sound but was taken TO san
Francisco several months ago to have
her engines installed. Owing to the
strike of the ironworkers and to other

not been finished as yet, but any day
news of her sailing is expected.

The Royal Mail steamship Moana
arrived yesterday from Victoria and
Vancouver, bringing a large passen-
ger list and full cargo of freight,
though very little of the latter was
for this city. The officers of the Mo-
ana state that there was no great
amount of excitement in Vancouver in
regard to the arrival of the japanese
emigrants from this city by the ku-
merle, and that they are needed IN
that section for labor on railroads, IN
the woods and in mines. The twelve
hundred who went up from here, it Is
stated, will by no means overstock the
labor market, and the labor organiza-
tons are the only bodies which are OPP
posed to Japanese immigration in the
Northwest.
The most important of the passengers
to come to Honolulu on the Moana was
Admiral Thomas H. Stevens, L. 5. n,
retired He is accompanied by MS
wife, and expects to stay in Honolulu
for some little time. He drove out
TO the Moana Hotel, where he win
make his headquarters while in this
city.
premier Bent of Victoria was among
the Moana's passengers, returning from
the conference of premiers of the vari'
Gus colonies of Great Britain, which
was recently held in England. Lady
0F
kett of New Zealand, was also on
board, accompanied by her daughter'
Hon. Miss Kathleen Plunkett. They
are on their way home from Visit TO
England.
The Moana brought very little freight
for this city, the only consignment OF
anv size on board for Honolulu being
twenty cases of dry goods for II. Hack
field & Co.
The ROYAL Mail steamer sailed fol
the Colonies last night at 8 O'CLOCK
taking nine passengers from this city
and a small quantity of freight ihe

The above two places adjoin a
property that / advertised for sale
on Saturday last and had to with
draw owing tc owner having
made Il loan of $4,000.
Government improvements and
other matters progressive, will
send property on the rise. There is
no may bet is sure.
A New York millionaire, John Hunt,
was tried for insanity in 1S45 for hav-
ing paid $2400 for a corner lot on Fifth
avenue and Thirty-sixth street. Within
a few months a property at the same
intersection has been sold for $1,s25,000
A New York merchant had the hardi-
hood to predict in 1860 that Fifth ave-
nue. lots in the Thirties and Forties,
then selling for 100000. were a good in
vestment. He was ridiculed by the
capitalists of his day, who believed that
the high water mark for values had
been reached. A few days since a cor
ner property at Thirty-eighth street
at the rate SOS, 900 a foot. A single lot
at the southeast corner of Fifth avenue
and Forty-second street sold recently
for $500, 600.
Bankers and capitalists in 1860 con-
sidered themselves much too wise 10
be tempted by any such wlldcat
schemes as unimproved lots along t1tth
avenue in the Fifties. The real estate
boomer was even then abroad in the
land. but his lots went begging at
prices which today seem laughaply
small. The prophecies of the real es-
tate rnen-the more radical ones OF the
period-which are still preserved make
very curious reading. The most ex-
travagant prophecies of the day fell
far short in anticipating the present
development of the city.
