MONEY
makes the mare go, is a well
known saying. We have some
thing that will make the sor
riest old nag ever hitched to a
wagon go at a regular racing
gait, and for very little money
atthat. Our Carriage Whips
can be had in almost any
quality and price, from $1
to'$3.50.
We have still a good stock of
Cart and Buggy Harness
to suit the purse of anybody;
we sell a first-class harness for
$1G and then "there are others"
better in quality at $25, 30
and $35.
Young men like to take their
best girl out for a drive, and
the beautiful moonlight nights
we are just now enjoying, invite
amorous swains to go a moon
ing with their lady loves.
We have a dandy looking
Dog Cart that is just the
thing for a drive around the
park; it is easy riding, com
fortable, with plenty of room
for two. It is the only one of
its kind in Honolulu, and as
we are not in the carriage
bu.sin.essj we do not intend to
get any more, so you do not
run the risk of having the
same style as everybody else.
Will be sold very cheap.
By the last Australia we,
received a lot- of Brass Stir
rups, light and neat looking,,
and besides carry a full assort
ment of Carriage Sponges,
Chamois Skins, Lap Robes,
Bits, Buckles, Etc., Etc.

Shipment of Tics at Hand.'
The material for the now track of
the Oahu Hallway to be laid from
Honolulu to Ewa mill, as well as the
extension of that road to be built
from the present terminus at Walan
ae to VVnlalun, Is beginning , to arrive
from the United States.
The sailing vessel Ceylon, loaded
with 20,000 ties, loaded at Seattle, is
now in port discharging her cargo.
The vessel was neavily laden, her
(leeks being utilized for carrying the
ties. Another shipload Is expected
shortly.
A ship has already left New York
with a cargo of rails. The Brewer
ship scheduled to leave there on June
10 will bring another large consign
ment of steel rails to the company.
Railroad spikes aild other necessary
material is now en route.
The new rails to be laid from Hono
lulu to Ewa mill, a distance of'twenty
miles, contain -18-pound steel. The,
Peerless Preserving Paint Company
has secured the contract to dip the
rails before they are laid down. This
will be a good investment for the com
pany, as the rails should last with
proper care from twenty to thirty
years. The road follows along the
sea coast and the close proximity en
ables the sea air to play much havoc
on the steel unless it is protected.
General Manager Dillingham an
nounces that many; improvements will
be made in the new roadbed to be se
lected from Honolulu to Ewa. Aside
from straightening many ' of the
curves, it is proposed to alter the
grade at Dr. J. S. McGrew's place at
Iaea. Cape Horn will be cut off alto
gether. r A new 'track will be constructed
from Ewa mill to the new mill of the
Oahil Sugar Company, a distance of
one mile and a halfi
In speaking of the proposed exten
sion to Waialua, Manager Dillingham
stated: "There is no intention of de
laying this work. It has been defi
nitely settled that we shall push our
line from Wnianae on to Waialua and
we are shaping our plans as rapidly
as possible.' Men will be set to work
grading the roadbed very soon now.
The Waialua extension is going to be
built whether the treaty remains or
not. In either event, the 'islands are
not going 'to be deserted! and as long
as there are any people here there is,
need for n railroad. '
' Our objective point now is Waialua.
Tf there is sufficient encouragement to
warrant us to build on to Kahuku, we
will do it."
SCENE IS IX HONOLULU.
George W. Heintz, the nssistant.
general passenger agent of the Den

favorably impressed with his observa

the Doric, in which lie asks for several
Hawaiian songs and some hula music'.

TOURISTS AND RESIDENTS CAN THE FLAGSHIP OF THE PACIFIC
ENJOY SPORT. , SQUADRON.
Experienced Native Men Can Be Se
cured at Any Time A Company
Formed for the Bencllt of Tourists.
When V. V. Dimoud made It pos
sible for tourists and resident of th
city to enjoy the pleasures of surf
riding by organizing a company which
obtnlned a number of llrst class
canoes and employed experienced
native canoeists, he did a thing lor
whieli he should receive the thanks as
well ns'the support of the entire com
munity. It is the ambition of every enter
prising city in the. United States i'
make a faavorable! impression on all
visitors. The public spirit is begin
ning to dominate in Honolulu. That
the sea surrounding the city n'Tords
the finest bathing in the whole Paci
fic, all tourists who come here frankly
admit. The surf riding that can be
had here has enraptured many people
who have lived along the Pacific Coast
all their lives. They have never en
joyed such a treat in any other laud.
While people have been surf riding
iu Honolulu for years, the sport hit
been confined to favored ones. Tour
ists were taken out to ride the waves
only when they were invited by some-
one who owned a canoe. Even many
townspeople have never, enjoyed tH.i
sport because they nor their friends
did not own canoes.
Mr. Dimond had been urged by.
many, people to take the step he did.
He has arranged everything for the
convenience of patrons. The teU-.
phone can be nsed to engage canoes
which can be had on a few. moments'
notice. The ennoes nre sent to any
place on the beach.
It is surprising the patronage that
has been accorded to him since its
formation, a week or so ago. Durin;.'
the afternoons on week days n .uilf
dozen canoes may .be seen out in the.
surf, and on Sundays there is twice
that number out. Some of has are
private canoes.
The best Surf is opposite Uaniwni
or Wright's Villa. Mr. Dimond, who,
is an expert canoeist and without
doubt, one of the ibest steersman
among the haole men, says that the
most timid ladies need have no fear
for their safety. It Is very rarely that
a canoe is capsized, and then the na
tives can rescue every occupant with
ease. In fact, many of them are
strong enough to place the canoe lit
position again while in the water.
GODFREY IS CHAMPION.
Opinion of the Officers on the Phil-adelphla--Thelr
Vessel May Remain
I Until August The Oregon.
'According to the San Francisco
Chronicle, the cruiser Baltimore,
which has undergone a thorough over
hauling at the Mare Island Navy yard,
wOJI became the llagshlp of the Pad-
Mentation early this summer In place
of the Philadelphia, now 'lying Ad
miral Ileardslee's flag In the, harbor.
It! is expected the change will take
place In .Inly, when Admiral Miller
relic es Admiral Deardslee of the
command of the station. The Phil
adelphia requires extensive repairs,
ami she will be laid up immediately
on. her return to the navy yard.
Lieut. Wlnterhalter of the Phil
adelphia said this morning that ad
vices received by Monday's mall had
led the ollleers aboard to believe that
the Philadelphia would not be rcliev
e.f "much before August 1st. it is not
certain that the Baltimore will come
here to relieve the Philadelphia. It
is rather more likely that the Phil
adelphia will go to San Francisco,
where the change will be made. This
is rather an Isolated place to keep an
Admiral any length of time.
There is still a good deal of gossip
among Navy ofllcers in regard to the
Oregon's coming here. It is, however,
the consensus of opinion among the
ofllcers who know the harbor that it
might first be necessary to dredge out
a berth for her, and .then .move the
town back to the hills' to give her
room to, turn in.

The Adams has been, ns the officer
of the deck expressed it this morn
ing, out of the world for two months.
She had over 100 naval apprentices on
board when she left San Francisco,
but thirteen of them deserted at San
Diego. Afterward, .ie little gunboat
steaamed to Magdalena bay, one of
the loneliest spots on the coast. It re
quired three weeks for her to go from
there to Hllo, as she was under sail
most of the time, tnklng It leisurely
so ns to give the apprentices opportu
nity to learn the practical workings
of a vessel at sea. The officers speak
very highly of the treatment accord
ed (hem by the good people of nilo.
They had a jolly time there, and one
that they will not soon forget.
Some of the ollicers of the Adams
are well known here,, but the majority
of them are on their first visit. Fol
lowing is a list of the officers on
board: Captain Gibson, Lieutenants
Harris, Wilner, Holcombe and Stan
worth. Ensigns Brown, McLean and
England; Chief Engineer McElroy,
Dr. Stone, Pnymnster Scmmes and
Pay Clerk Bollard.
The Adams now has eighty-seven"
apprentices on board. She will re-'
main in port here nbout eight days,
and then sail for San Francisco.
The Wild Swnn has just returned
from a three weeks' cruise nmong-the
South Sen islands. During her ab
sence she visited .the Fnnnings, Wash
ington, Palmyra and Christmas
groups, calling at all British stations,
but only remaining a few hours at
each. Not a sail was sighted on the
entire voyage, which was a pleasant
one until the last week, when some
heavy weather was encountered.
