A COMING VISITOR. Jttrper's Jlazur says Mr. Locke liicliarrison is gradually making his way further west toward the Sand wich Islands. The Gull says the same gentleman is in San Francisco ; that hu has been invited to accept a chair in the American School of opera, as professor of elocution; lias cancelled nil his engagements in Hie East, and purposes to visit the Sandwich Islands, and possibly Australia, before his return to New Yoik. Possibly wc may have a scries of entertainments from the gentleman named during his stay here. THE ELECTION. From an early hour this morning omnibuses and other vehicles have been rolling to the polls, laden with thu "free and enlightened.", Voting was very brisk all morning, 1150 ballots having been cast by one o'clock this afternoon. There has been no disturbance to speak about in the Government yard, although it is thronged with natives of both sexes and many foreigners. The Government party claimed to bo about five hundred ahead at noon, when they probably had polled most of their stiength. Voters were still keeping up a steady procession at half-past one o'clock. There was a good deal of haranguing going on from the vutuku verandah of thu Government building, but good nature seemed to lulu the throngs. A telephonic message from Kaneohc states that the Independent candi dates are well ahead in the districts on that side of the Island, particu lat ly mentioning Mr. Howell in Waialua. THE ROYAL VISIT TO KAU. On Wednesday evening about six o'clock, His Mnjestj and suite landed at Kaalualu. The royal visit was quite unexpected, and consequently only the few residents of the landing place were there to welcome him. The King despatched a messenger to Waiohinu for the Honorable.? Judge Martin and J. Kauhane, and those gentlemen were in tho saddle by eight o'clock, en route to meet His Majesty. Sur mises as to the object of the royal visit were various, but the general opinion was that it was political, to help the Cabinet party in the im pending election, and yet it was im possible to suppose that ho could support a man of the stamp of the opponent of an honorable man such as J. Kauhane, who is said to be his own near kinsman. His Majesty dined with Mr. John Buck at Naa lehu, on Saturday, where there was a grand political spread for the natives. There was to be political music fiom tho Cabinet organs ; but to thu honor of the royal Yisitor, be it said, he stipulated that no poli tical or party speaking would bo had, and this arrangement was carried out. His Majesty addressed the people in a statesmanlike fashion, and in answer to a question about the rumored sale of the Islands, said: "Tho rumor nbout the sale of the Islands originated with a newspaper reporter who had no au thority or foundation for thu statu ment. Thu Islands will jncver be sold by me, for they belong to tho whole people; but take care that j'ou do not sell thorn yourselves. I hear rumors of selling your ballots, and a man who hi.i.i.3 his hai.i.ot DULLS HIS COUXTItV. Act llOUCStly and choose good men by your ballots, and let it not bo said of any man that ho has sold for money what should bo most prized, his own in dependence." These arc noblo words, ably spoken, and their uttcr anco lifted a cloud of suspicion. His Majesty is thu guest of tho Hon. Henry Martin, at Waioliinu, and will return by the Hull on Monday. Ono of tho objects of the royal visit has been to look after thu bones and relics of old chiefs, of which numerous caves in the dis trict aro tho depositories. On Sun day, he attended tho native church, and displayed Ills skill, as chancellor of the ecclesiastical exchequer in presiding over a collection, amount ing to about SlfiO, for the use of Honuapo church. His Majesty ex ercised no little dexterity and wit in raking in the coin, as well ns in the way ho frequently brought down tho liou.su with remarks on the leading men unci their wealth.

Last evening (he celebration of Uiinuse New Year was begun by tho ! ceiescmi residents with universal spirit. The streets in Chinatown were transformed into beautiful vistas of chromatics light, fiom thousands of lanterns ranged in mathematical lines from nloe and below the everlasting verandahs. A terrific bombardment of fireworks was sustained against the slumbers of all within earshot of celestial domiciles through the livelong night. Thu storo on tho ground lloor of the Benevolent Society's new Club Housc, King street, was chcorfully lighted ui), and tho manager of the linn was there to receive visitors. Opposite the door was hung a brilliantly-colored picture of nn Imperial statesman of the remotest antiquity, with his beautiful wife and child, walking in nuclysian bower. Ft was probably Fo-hi, tho most famous of thu god-descended personages, who, according to Chinese history, ruled over tho Empire and revealed to men the essential arts of life. A table in front of the picture was covered with riclt ornaments and magnificent bouquets that seemed to blond with thu bloom and foliage on the canvas. Two rows of handsome chairs were ranged at right angles with thtso center decorations, and in one of them sat a well-dressed and comely little Mongolian boy. Many passers by were attracted by thu rather pretty scene, pausing to take it all in. A hideous noise like the beating of a thousand coal oil cans by an army of urchins, the firing of com bustible crackers and the clamor of a hundred Chinamen on Niumnu street this forenoon announced tho coming of the Chinese dragon. Tho procession stopped in front of the principal Chinese, houses, and while batteries of lire crackers were ex ploding, the dragon would rush for ward with mouth open and fangs projecting, as though to destroy imaginary victims, but retreating at tho fantastic movement of a magical wand iu the hands of a coolie. While tho riot continued pcoplo in upper windows pelted the dragon with sweet potatoes. Ol'KNIN'O OP TIIK CI.UW 1IOUSK. The ceremonies connected with the formal opening of the New Chi nese Club House commenced at 11 o'clock. The Royal Hawaiian Band had taken a position in front of the building at 7 o'clock, and played in their usual effective style, and were relieved a little bcfoic eleven by the Reformatory School Band.

Alee, Commercial Chinese Agent, in Cliineso, and by Mr. C. Winam, in English. Following is thu address : To-day is our Cliineso New Year, a day which it lias been our custom from time immemorial to celebrate ns we celebrate no other In the year. It is a day to which we look for ward with tho most pleasing antici pations, and being Election Day for tliis nation it is also mcmorablo on that account. May the representa tives nov chosen bo men of wisdom to direct aright the councils of this much favored land. It gives us the greatest pleasure to express on be half of our countrymen tho gratifi cation wo feel on being honored upon tho entry into this our new Socioty house with tho presence of so many of our friends. Wo trust that the mutual friendly relations that have existed between us in thu past may continue in tho future- and grow stronger as this Society grows in usefulness. In our capacity as President and Vice-President of this Association wo, Cuing Alec and Gqo Kim, feel it to bo our duty to make a few remarks In reference- to tho .future object and maintenance of this Society. In compliance with the suggestion of His Excellency Ching, Chinese Minister at Washing ton, this Association was formed under ttie name of "Chung Wa Ui Qwuu" The Tinted Chinese So cietyin 1882, and on the 27th day of August, 1881, it was properly organised under charter of incor poration granted by His Excellency Charles T. Gulick, Minister of the Interior of the Hawaiian Kingdom. As we had no place of our own in which to hold our regular meetings during the past four years, thu China Engine Company No. f has been so kind as to lend its hall to us. This Society building is now com pleted entirely through tho voluntary assistance of our Chinese residents in the Hawaiian Kingdom. Our object iu forming this association is to exercise n care and supci vision over such of the Chinese- residents as shall connect themselves with this Society; to make them acquainted with the laws and ordinances of the Hawaiian Government, particulaily with those laws and ordinances which concern iu any way our Chinese resi dents; to render assistance and advice to such as may stand in need thereof, especially to sick Cliineso and those in destitute condition to pi event and settle disputes among Chinese if possible, and to prevent, as far as it ma be m our power, all unlawful conbinations or posting of seditious or otherwise objectionable placards, and to render such aid to the Government as they may request or authorize in matters pertaining to the Chinese residents iu this king dom. All the future funds for main tenance of this Society aic to be raised from the Chinese residents. Wc therefore trust that the purposes of this Society shall be attained, that it will grow in its benevolenco and usefulness, and that its ofllccrs shall ever administer its affairs in tho spirit iu which it was founded, that it may bo of advantage not only to ourselves but to the non- Chinese residents of this community i and that through it you may obtain true glimpses of Cliineso customs and manners. Wc now by virtue of the ofllcial position delegated to us as President and Vice-President of the United Chinese Society declare this Ilnll open. A magnificent triangular yellow flag, with an enormous dragon spread on it, the Chinese Imperial flag, floated from the tall flagpole on the roof. An able-bodied police man stood at each side of the door at the foot of the stair leading to the tipper Hat where thu reception and collation were given. The rooms on this floor aru handsomely furnished. Over the doorways wcro hung Hawaiian and Chinese Hags, tastefully arranged. A steady throng of visitors poured into tho building, from the hour' of opening until about half-past one r. m. Visitors received the initiatory hand shaking from Mr. IIoFon, who stood on the landing robed in a suit of green silk. Oflicers ofjthe Society, Messrs. C. Alec, Goo Kim, Wong Kwai, C. Winam, Lan Chung, Yim Quon, L. Ahlo, L. Tukong, Loo Chit . Sam, Lam Ching Wa, Wee Siting and C. Mow Kcong, did the honors of the occasion and were assiduous in their attentions to tho guests, who were ushered in to the dining tables. A splendid collation, turkey and other meats, salads, sandwiches, wines, and tea was spread and duly honored. BUSINESS ITEMS.
