.SHYINC HORSE SENDS
JOHN RAP0ZO
TO THE HOSPITAL

Lihue, Kauai, Aug. 17.--John Ra-
pozo lays in the hospital with two
ribs broken, but considers himself
lucky that he is still alive.
He was out driving last Sunday
using a tame, quiet horse that he has
had a long time and never found to
fail him. He had little niece along
and took the road towards Kapaa
Arrived at .Waipouli the horse be-
came frightened at couple OF girls
dressed in flaming red, who suddenly
jumped out in the road. The animal
of sudden swerved to the side, up
setting the buggy and throwing the
occupants to the ground. Both OF
them were in pretty bad condition,
but the little girl soon recovered, hav-
ing miraculously escaped with a
bruised face. Rapozo was found to
be unconscious and was carried into

MARIE Halls
LONDON RECITAL

All lovers of music save the many
who were turned away must have re-
joiced at the fact that not an inch
OF available space was empty in st.
James Hall when Marie Hall gave
her recital. 1t is said on good au-
tnority to be without precedent in
modern times that so great crowd
should be attracted by the second
appearance of any artistic. Miss
Halls position is assured, but all the
excitement and success has, OF
course, nothing whatever to do with
her qualities as an interpreter OF
classical music. In Bach's "Chacon-
me-" the ease with which she sur
mounted formidable difficulties OF the
work was such as to suggest minute
study of style of the highest model,
and her grasp of the whole was won
derfully virile.-London Times.
The time for the Marie Hall con-
cert on the arrival of the Aorangi
will be announced one hour after the
arrival of the steamer. Telephone

VERY HEAVY RAINS
ON KAUAI.
DO MUCH DAMAGE

Lihue, Kauai, Aug. 1.-THE Gar
den Island says:
1.-THE rain that fell over Kauai.
throughout all the districts, last Sat-
urday was in some instances the
heaviest that has been experienced on
the Island in years. At Lihue the
gauge registered but slight fall down
on the lower lands, but to judge from
the amount of water that has passed
over the falls since then it must have
been considerable. In Hawaiian and
Eoloa districts the roads We're all
siush and the reservoirs overfiowing.
Hanalei was treated to precipita-
ton of ten inches in two hours, and
the downpour caused damage through
out the districts. Taro and rice fields
were damaged and the roads Jared
badly. The worst of the damage took
place in Wainiha. however, where the
big bridge was torn away and thrown
up on the beach. At Waikoko the
bridge is also gone, entaillng great
expense upon the County.
"Waimea proper did not receive q
drop of rain but up the valleys the
rainfall was something unheard of
At the Olokele Ditch the rain guage
registered 1924 inches in half an
hour the rushing water tearing the
river bed to such an extent that aftef
The stream had subsidized to its normal
size again its level was found to be
eight feet lower than the former one
That no serious damage was done to
the ditch itself speaks highly for the
substantial manner in which 1t has
been constructed The Waimea ditch
was blocked by soil and rocks washed
down from above, and as a conse
uuence the householders in town were
but to the inconvenience of having nc
water for short time, but the dam
age was speedily repaired, and the
supply is now coming down as usual
