Dear Sir: The Secretary Disc Plow 1 pur
chased from you is giving us satisfaction. We
are using it to plow under a crop of upins. They
are threl feet high and very thick. Your plow
turns them completely under, at the same time
plowing the land fourteen inches deep.
I feel satisfied that with this plow the draft
for the same quantity and depth of work is as
6 to 8. That is, with the old plow, to do the same
work, it takes 8 good mules; with your plow it
takes only 6, and they are less tired at night.
Please send me another plow by first schooner
leaving for this.
You are at liberty to use this in any way you
may see fit. Yours truly,
A. L1DGATE.

The Advertiser said yesterday morn-
ins that in the course of the day the
war painting of the U. S. Gunboat Ben
nington would begin. All the neces
sary material was aboard the ship on
Monday evening. The work was start
ed at an early hour and the for.ce en
gaged the entire day with crowds of
spectators on shore. The funnel and
masts first received attention. By 2
o'clock everything "in the air" had
taken on the leaden hue and the men
went over the port side with their
brushes and paint pots.
A naval expert on one of the local
papers used faithfully the story given
him to the effect that the masts of the
Bennington were to be removed
There was failure on the part of the
expert to also reproduce the statement
made to him to the effect that the
keel of the gunboat was to be removed
in order to enable her to beat to wind
ward the better. This important bit
of information will probably be
published under scare heads in a few
days.
Officers aboard the Bennington ex
pect that the gunboat will leave here
nrion arrival of the Alert from Mare
Island. The Alert is a small vessel
with lieht guns. Bennington officers
say that possibly they will have in
structions today to move, mere ap-
npnrs tn he much Question as .o the
direction in which the gunboat r.l
hpnrl on leaving this harbor. &ne
could not reach the Philippines in time
to be of any service. She is needed
n tho Pacific coast and would scarce
ly be sent to the Atlantic side. . There
has been no end of speculation on me
immediate future of the Bennington
as to movement, with no satisfactory
answer. When the time for the de
parture of the Bennington arrives ev
erybody in town will know it several
hours before she proceeds to sea. She
has not yet started in to coal for a
voyage and at the last would of course
take on a considerable quantity of
supplies that are never taken aboard
till the last moment.
It will be remembered that m tne
papers received by the schooner Tran
sit last week it was reported that the
S S Paris, a late purchase of the u.
S Government, had probably been cap
tured by the Spaniards. Advices to
Honolulu by the S. S. City of Rio were
to the effect that the Paris had reached
Sandy Hook, off New York harbor in
xi0 (.nmmiinaer uau aau
he was entirely confident nothing
afloat under the Spanish flag could
overtake the splendid passenger liner
n th open sea. The Paris is one of
ne fastest steamers in the Atlantic
People here have a special interest
in the Paris from the fact that com

Electric Searchlight to Guard En
trance of the Chesapeake.
The greatest electric searchlight in
the world, now being erected at Fort
ress Monroe to guard the entrance to
the Chesapeake, has a beam of light
nine feet in diameter.- The glass lens
is so blinding that it cannot be looked
on at short range, and it even hurts the
eyes when they are closed.
It will illuminate an object 100 miles
off, and can be seen on the clouds at
even a greater distance.
The light is gathered into a nine-
foot beam, which has an estimated in
tensity of 90,000,000 candles. The light
revolves six times a minute. It was
manufactured in France, but American
generating apparatus has been substi
tuted for that built abroad, and the
dynamos, engine and boilers are to be
duplicated in case of accident. The
beam of light from the lamp will illu
minate a newspaper at a distance of
100 miles. It will turn day into night
around Hampton Roads. Its location
at Hampton Roads is especially appro
priate, as vessels passing the Chesa
peake for Baltimore or Washington
cannot be seen from Hampton Roads
during the night or hazy weather, and
they are barely visible in daytime.
The distance from the fortress to sea
is 15 miles. Vessels bound up the
Chesapeake do not pass within miles
of the fort and this is probably the rea
son why the channel leading up the
Patapsco to Baltimore is to be mined
with torpedoes. Baltimore American.

Cricket Meeting.
The board of management of the
Honolulu Cricket Club held a meeting
on Monday evening. The res.gnaUon
of Mr W. Thompson as secretary of
the club was accepted with regret. His
business taking him to the other Isl
ands more frequently, made it com
pulsory for him to resign.
Iter. V. H. Kitcat was eiecteu m
r. neon's nlace and Judge W.
o.oiov was elected to fill Mr. Kitcat s
position on the board of management.
It is decided that tne ciuo preset
hat to any player who should make 43
runs in a match and it was voted tnai
the club start in by giving Donam
Ross a bat for his score of 4G on last
Saturday.
It was also decided to present a bat
to the player who has the highest bat
ting average during the season, and a
ball to the bowler with the best bowl
ing average.
The cricket club will give a dinner
instead of a smoker as its next enter
tainment. The finances of the club are better
than they ever hare been.
The title of "Majesty" was first given
