with three thousand tons of cargo
making the trip il five days ana a
,;,+,e over seventeen hours, the Oceanic
steamship Sierra, Captain Hcudlette
uas off port early yesterday morning
and docked at ',e Oceanic wharf about
seven o'clock.
Eighty-six passengers and 14s bags
of mail arrived for Honolulu. In spite
81 The fact that the Sierra was three
hours late in getting away from the
Coast she showed up here at daylight.
u. F. Dillingham; and wife were
among the returning passengers, as was
Frank Thompson, the attorney. Thomp-
.op has been on the mainland on bust
rass of Importance. and Dillingham;
has also been busy in a business way.
Dr.. A. Randolph Douglas is en- route
70 Australia and will remain here until
the next boat of the CanadianAustra-
Ian line arrives next week.
Waldo, a Chicago man, is another

The best days run of the Sierra on
the way down was 37S miles. 4 report
to the effect that she had made more
than that was a mistake, the figures
perhaps having swelled during transi-
ton by wireless.
The Sierra viii get away again for
San Francisco on Wednesday next, sail
inc at ten o'clock in the morning, ear
rvng about 1000 tons of general cargo
and many passengers.
Two Departures Next Wednesday.
Oceanic steamship Sierra and Matson
steamship Wilhelmina will leave here
at the same time next week for San
Francisco, both getting away at ten
d .fIoek in the morning. There is some
talk of rivalry between the two boats
as to which will take away the more
passengers. though this sort of talk is
mostly in the mouths of those who know
nothing of the situation. The Sierra
has more passenger accommodations and
tie Wilhelmina has more freight ac-
eommodations. There is this much
about it, that the prospective passen-
gers, to certain extent, are booked
on both vessels. This is Honolulu Gus
tom and would not be tolerated any
where else. unless the people who
booked put up a cash forfeit for the
reservation of their berths. People
| book on one boat and then change their
minds and ship on the other boat, and
vice versa.
1t would not be surprising, sometime,
| if some Honoulan would forget when
boat he had booked on and would take
the Sierra, for example, after he had
| paid passage per Wilhelmina. There Is
nothing at all unlikely about it,
Golfers Put to Sea.
There were three golfers putting to
sea yesterday afternoon. The British
steamship Masunda got away for Ma
naimo where she will take on bunker
