HAWAIIAN PINES REACH
DENVER IN FINESHAPE

DENVER, Colo, July 6.-The first
carload of pineapples ever shipped into
Denver from Hawaii arrived this morn
ing, consigned to George H. Knifton,
a commission merchant and wholesale
grocer. The pineapples were in SPLEEN
did condition.
And what pineapples they were, too.
They were the best reminder of Ha-
wall I have seen since leaving Homo
lulu. The pineapples you usually get
here are about the size of good-sized
alligator pears. They come from
Florida or Cuba, I believe, and are
either too green or too overripe to eat
by the time they reach Denver. But
we have been trying them, just the
same.
But the Hawaiian pines. They are
the real thing. The average pineap-
pie which Knifton had consigned to

Friction between the Hawaii railway
officials and the people of Kohala, in
regard to public accommodations at the
port of Mahukona, which has been
growing for a long time, has at last
resulted in a strongly worded petition
to Superintendent of Public Works
Marston Campbell invoking his assist
ance.
The Hawaii Railway Company claims
the ownership of the entire Mahukona
waterfront, so that access to the wharf
or landing, and landing conveniences,
are under this claim, subject wholly to
the sufferance or regulation of the rail-
road company.
The people claim that the road from
Kohala to the waterline at Mahukona,
formerly ran right to the water s edge,
and that by right it should do so now.
The railroad company has built repair
shops and other buildings right across
where the road used to run, compelling
vehicles in order to reach the landing
to go round its buildings and over its
tracks where the rails stand unproteet
ed above the roadbed.
It is claimed that every obstacle pos
sible is put in the way of the con-
venience of those who desire to take
the freight shipped to them and landed
at Mahukona, away from the landing
by other conveyance, than the railway,
the apparent object being to compel
them to ship it by the Hawaii Railway
Company.
The petitioners have recited long
list of grievances in this respect, none
of which alone, they claim, is serious,
but which in the aggregate make con-
ditionx very aggravating.
They ask the Superintendent of Pub
lie Works, under his large powers over
ports and landings, to bring about such
conditions at the Mahukona landing as
viii improve conditions and add TO pub,
lie convenience. Failing in coneiliatory
they ask him to begin con-
demnation proceedings to condemn a
public right of way to the landing, if
one does not already exist.
The petition is largely signed by Ko
hala people.

Big guns belched aboard the flagship
Connecticut yesterday in honor of many
of the foreign consuls and Others who

GOV. FREAR'S DINNER
To FLEET COMMANDER

Governor Frear s dinner for Admiral
Sperry and officers from the entire ileet
was given at the Alexander Young
Hotel last evening in the banquet hall.
The room was attractively decorated
and the board garnished with flowers.
The dinner was notable because of so
many distinguished guests, including
Navy men whose names have had al
most world wide interest. The dinner
was to have been concluded early so
that the Admiral could go to the ball
by nine, but owing to the good fellow
ship, side talk and brief addresses, the
time fed long past the hour and the
company arrived late for the ball. ),
Governor Frear at one stage of the
dinner spoke to the toast of 'sThe Pres
ident,'' his remarks being brief and
Mandatory. In response to the toast of
1.-THE Navy" Admiral Sperry replied,
also briefly. He referred to the impor-
lance of the Pacific Ocean and Hawaii
as a factor in future interest of the
Navy. He spoke also of the varied
change through which the Navy has
passed since first he came to Hawaii.

NINTH OF THE FIFTH.
ORPHEUM PACKED.

"Arizona packed the Orpheum last
night. The play pleased every one
present. Madame Arral accompanied
by an augmented orchestra acquitted
herself with glory and received an ova-
tion after each number sung.
With the orchestra she had better OPP
portunity for displaying her marvellous
voice and her numbers were better than
on last Tuesday.
Other specialties as well as moving
pictures were introduced between the
acts of the play and as one of the
sailor boys from the feet remarked:
- They certainly give you run for
your money here. -
This afternoon and evening viii see
the last two performances of "Ari-

better get their seats early for the
outlook is that standing room only will
greet the late corners.

afternoon will be Rams VS.. Keios in
the first game, and Punahous VS.. San
ia Claras in the second game.
The visitors have had a good rest
which they have improved by conscien-
tious practise and now that they are
acclimated should dish up very fast

be surprising to see both the malihini
mines victors this afternoon.
The Rams will put their strongest

be said of the Santa Claras.
The Kams' battery will be Reuter-

him would make four of the kind we
usually buy. They have not been put
on sale yet. Knifton met Watson on
the street and, finding he was from
Hawaii, said he would send up some
Hawaiian pineapples. I get one of
them and it certainly was a fine speei-
men. No doubt they viii sell like hot
cakes in this territory, for the little
runty pines from the South find a ready
sale at twenty-five cents up.
"These pines arrived in remarkably
fine condition." said Mr.. Knifton.

since [ have been in business here, and
If we can get rid of them at good
prices we viii import more. They
should find a ready sale during the
convention. The pine which I had
was just sufficiently ripe-sound to the
core and delightful in odor and taste.

JOCK WILLIS A CHALLENGER.

Jockey Willis wishes to challenge
Jockey Everson to ten-round go to
take place at any time before the club
making the best offer.
Willis boxed All Sam at the Orpheum
on Decoration Day and Notwithstanding
that he was giving away twenty pounds
made a very good showing with the
Chinaman. He is a clever, aggressive
little man and would make a good
match with any man of his weight for
any of the local clubs.
Everson is the boy who rode for
O'Rourke s. stable at the recent Hilo
meeting. He has a good rep. as a boxer
and it is understood that he is willing
to clash with Willis.

SOCIETY WELCOMES
GUESTS
CONTINUED from PAGE One,

in the selections, the malihini guests
being especially pleased with the
strains of the native musicians. In
booking dances the invariable request
made by the sailors was for "the next
Hawaiian Dance
At the Moana there was also dane
ing and light. The board walk prom
enade which had been built between
the two seaside resorts was thronged
at all times with couples passing from
the Seaside to the Moana and back
again, while many strolled along the
Illuminated pier. In the Moana dining
room dance was in progress through
out the evening, although the crowd
was at the official ball.
For the brilliant effect produced last
night TOO much credit can not be given
the ones who planned and carried out
the lighting aud decorating schemes
A. Menefoglio the former, and A. i.
Murphy the latter.
The full effect of the Examinations
could be best seen last night from
below the Moana, where the roadway
runs clear along the beach, just at the
entrance to Kapiolani Park. From this
vantage point, which was sought dur
ing the evening by many, the full
stretch of brilliant lighting across the
seaside of the two hotels could be seen,
while the darkness of the waters was
relieved by the lights of the battle
ships, riding at anchor and the stab
bling beams of their searchlights play
ing on the clouds, Pickering along the
beach or turning the crests of the
rollers. into rushing silver.
Society responded to the invitation
of the committee and turned out in
full force to greet the feet officers and
welcome them to the city. Government
officials, consular representatives, Army
officers in the full glory of gold lace,
National Guardsmen in white and gold,
and hundreds of pretty women in their
best bibs and fuckers, thronged the
dancing floor and grounds, while every
where among them, making conquests
and forming friendships, were the
naval visitors.
Honolulu has had many brilliant af-
fairs in the last few years, but none
that could excel or approach that of
last night.
The BAH was confined practically to
the pavilion dancing floor at the Sea
side Hotel The announcements have
all been that the ball would be at the
two hotels. This was based on the
understanding of the ball committee
with Mr. Alexander Young that it was
to have charge of the dancing floors
at both hotels, and to carry out this
idea, the bridge and walk along the
beach connecting the two hotels was
When, however, the committee sent
its ticket men to the Moana to take
tickets at the door of the dining room
WHICH was used as a dancing floor, the
of the hotel objected.
When the committee inquired why it
was told that the hotel would not per
nit it. On this the committee placed
it's ticket takers at the Waikiki en-
trance of the large pavilion at the Sea
side to take up the tickets there of
those who came by way of the Moana
Hotel.
The reception by Governor Frear and
ADMIRAL Sperry was on the dancing
floor at the Seaside.

NELSON
VERSUS DIXON

I There will be an attractive card of
boxing matches pulled off in Iudepend-
ence Hall tonight, under the efficient
management of Promoter Jack SculIy,
who has won an enviable reputation
as a caterer of clean, live sport
The main event on the bill will be
a ten-round go between Young Nelson
and Dixon of the battleship Kansas,
two clever lightweights. Nelson is well
known here as a shifty, willing boxer,
and Dixon, who is a eolored man, has
quite reputation among the sailors.
There will also be a six.round go be-
tween those old opponents, WahiIani
and Young Sharkey. These lads boxed
a draw at the same place some time ago
and both are anxious to settle the ques-
ton of superiority once and for all.
The curtain-raiser will be six-round
affair between two good unknowns.
The main event should be well worth
witnessing for Nelson is improving all
the time and is in better shape today
than he has been for long time He
will do his best tonight for he has his
eye on the local lightweight champion
ship and a victory tonight will put him
right in line for a match for the title.
The sailors are willing to back Dixon
who is said to be a dark horse in other
respects than that of color. He claims
never to have tasted the bitterness of
defeat and is said to be a man who
can take all kinds of punishment and
at the same time administer the knock
out medicine.
The Independence Club is a comfort
able place to witness boxing in and a
full house should reward Jack Sculiy's
enterprise in arranging SO good a card

line for the championship had he lived.
He was considered good enough to
