Open to all. Course-Same as in
No. 2. Mokauea, His Majesty's
Chamberlain; Ohuli, both manned
by natives.
This was a very interesting race,
the way the paddlers "dug in" being
exhilarating to witness. 1t was,
besides, closely contested race
throughout, the Mokauea beating
by two lengths in Sm. 20s.

This was fine race, the Lanai

almost from the start. The Homai
was several lengths ahead in turning
the spar buoy, yet, to the finish, the
Lanai crew rowed pluckily. Homai,

Up to Saturday evening the Ka-
piolani Club refusing to rejoin the
Association, its crew was ruled out
of the race. Only two crews, there
fore, were ready for the start:-
Alice MI. Savidge, A. Lyle,
A. Branch, G. Purdy, H. Robinson,
o. Branch, stroke; j. l.. Torbert,
coxswain.
Poomaikelani.-R. Parker, j. d.
Holt, Awana, Kaulahao, Kaluahini,
Kaki, stroke; Welau, coxswain.
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 a 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 spar
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., 3s.; Alice NJ,
23m., 15s.
6-Swimming Race-Prize, $5.
Free to all. Entries open to all
until start of race. E. H. Mahuka,
David Kuia.
The original entries were Gle.
faulted, but Kuemaka, Poepoe and
Moki responded to the bugle. The
course was from the judges boat tc
the 1. l. 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 hall
second in advance of Poepoe. Time
2m., 324s.

SO. COurse-TO be set by the
Judges on day of race. Weather
