All the above made default, but
the canoes Mokauea, Avail, and
Kahohino came to the line. This
race created furore of fun and ex-
element. The Kahohino had not
sailed far until she was so badly left
that she gave it up. Uproarious
cheers greeted the remaining con-
testants from every point of observ-
alton. Off Wilder's wharf the two
were coming in about even, raising
the excitement among the specta-
tors to the screaming pitch. Half
way between Wilder's and the 1. 1.
S. N. Co.'s wharves, the leading
canoe lost wind and headed for the
shore. Getting righted she was
about starting on her course when q
similar mishap overlook her COM
petitor, upon which the two boats
fouled and spent some time in get

bow got within about five yards of
the line, when she again cranked,
and her rival coming up threatened
to pass, but she too cranked, and
both getting rishted about the same
moment, crossed the line together

ordered both canoes out again,
when the Mokauea won the race
over again in lin. 27s.

what seemed long wait to the
spectators, Poepoe's head appeared
above water near the boat, and
Kaukahaka's curls showed up in the
sunlight at a considerable distance
off, but, as yet, Palahu had moi
reported himself. The information
brought up by Poepoe was that the
old man was holding on by the buoy
chain. Going down second time
to see how Palahu was getting on
he returned with word that he was
there still. The spectators, by this
time, began to get nervous. Wher
it seemed settled that Palahu hat

made its appearance on the surface
and he was, of coupse, greeted witt
