THE FIGHT BETWEEN CORDELL AND SULLIVAN AT THE STAR THEATRE.

The Sullivan and Cordell "go," was fought in the Star Theatre last Saturday night, under the same rules as before, "hit in the clinches," although, a majority of the audience expected f a "elean break fight," whieh expectation was cleverly knocked out by a mild objection from Sullivan.

It loaks to us, that the fight by rounds was principally CordeH's, excepting the second round in whieh Sullivan knocked Cordell on his "haunches" orinto asiuingpositior>, irom whieh he immediately recovered, and in another round sidestepped one of Cordell's rushes, thereby causing Cordell to loiie his balance against the ropes, in whieh position, Sullivan landed e terrific right swing near Cordell's jaw, whieh seemed to daized him, but only lor a second, when he recovered. In all Cordell had the best of it, paying particular attention to Sullivan's body, especiallyaround the kidneys, hitting him there so hard and often, that a large red welt appeai-ed. Sullivan tried repeatedly to upper-cut Cordell in the breakaway, but in only one instance, of any importance, was he able to land. In thē open fighting Cordell had also decidedly the best of it, always forcing the fighting and out boxing Suilivan.

Both are good men and good fighters. They both furnish plenty of goodpunches thatelated the hearts of the fans. We believe, to decide the merits of the two good pugilists, a finish fight will be necessary, and that must be a elean br 4 eak go. Mr. S>;ully is to be congratulated on the success of his enterprise, not only from a financial standpoint, but because it shows him that the sport loving community of Honolulu are whh him.

We see that our young friend Bernard Kelekolio, the > ' Boy Orator," now in the Ra!nyCity, hasbeen empowered | by Treasurer Conkling to grant marriage licenses nnder J monoeamie principles. | We n- et the l< Fire of Wailuku," J.

When complimented on his good health and good looks he replied play fully: "Here! my sun is declining to the west, andthe fire af Wailuku is 9.bout played out. y He is no good!" 01d friend Kaiua was onee ai\ M. D ? lle graduated years and years ago trom old Dr. Judd's { medical school. He is an orator of the old school, a quality deplorably wanting in the so-called Hawaiian speakcrs oE today. Thenum2 "Haw.iii" shoald be pronouaceJ: " llali--wah-ee-ee." The accent is on the first "i" (eē) in the word, aitd a light one on thelast"i" (ee) but short and clear. Some Hawaiian authorities on tlie language, thouglit the name Hawaii was from the Javanese word " Java-Ji," whieh means a " land oE fire " like the name Terra de! fuego." be pilikia for some " Icanes" in New Ynrk | Ctty.
