There was intense interest bes-
towed upon this race, the main
event of the day. Winning the toss,
the Iolanis took the inside position.
They also took water first, but had
lost ground when the lighthouse was
reached, the Myrtles then slightly
leading. This order was shortly
after reversed, but it was close
race to the turning line. At that
place, the Myrtles experienced the
full disadvantage of the outside
position. SO great was the detour
they had to make to round their
stake boat, that spectators on shore
thought they had gone away out of
their course. They were, however,
only obeying the orders of the
judges, who afterward told them
they might have turned the other
buoy by taking the risk of fouling.
A heavy sea shipped by their boat
added to the Myrtle crews embar-
rassment, and they were badly
beaten on the home stretch. Pomai-
kelani won in 23m., is. Alice NJ,
23m., los.

Free to all. Entries open to all
until start of race. +. Ii. Mahulla,
David Kuia.
The original entries were de-
faulted, but Kuemaka, Poepoe and
Moki responded to the bugle. The
course was from the judges boat to
the 1. 1. S. S. Co.'s wharf. The
three swimmers approached the
wharf in triangular order, Kuemaka
and Poepoe abreast. The former
touched the wharf about one second
ahead, but with big right and left
arm strokes increased the distance
by about length on the return, and
reached the winning point half
second in advance of Poepoe. Time,
2m., 324s.

The circumstances of this race
were much the same as those of the
senior six-oared race, the Kings
Crew. getting choice of position
with all its advantages. There was
notable contrast between the res
pective physiques of the crews.
That OF the Kaiulani was composed
of strongly built Young men, while
the Myrtles were mainly slender
youths. The Kaiulani boat had
gained the lead before the light
house was reached, increasing it to
the end of the race. Winning time,
lem. 53s.; End, I'm. 53s.
Intermiss;on was reached shortly
before noon, the preceding races
having all been despatched with re-
markable precision and promptness.

respectively drawn from the black

Honolulu Iron Works.

and L. Mcclure, coXswaln.
Machinists-Wm. Roe, coxswain /;
Hugh Mcmillan, Harry Drysdale,

of developed muscle well applied to
the oar. The blacksmiths took the
