Honolulus outside. There was some
delay at starting owing to ono of the
buoys having been removed. The
Judges settled the matter, however
A good start was effected, the Iolani
boat catching water first, and obtain
ing slight lead. A pretty race
cnsucd to the lighthouse, which was
passed first by the Myrtles, the
Honolulu and Iolani close up. Be
fore the next buoy was reached the
llonolulus had reduced the Myrtles'
lead and were pulling beautiful
stroke. The Iolani crew was two
lengths behind. There was very
little difference to choose between the
two former crews when they turned
the spar buoy. Both crews made a
good turn at the bell buoy, and it
was here that the Honolulus slightly
fouled the Myrtles. On leaving the
bell buoy the Myrtle gained little,
but the Honolulus squirting soon
reduced the gap. No change oc-
Cured until after the spar buoy was
passed, when the Honolulus gradu-
ally crept up and in passing the
second buoy were a bare length be-
hind. just after this buoy was
passed the incident occurred which
gave rise to claim for foul men,
toned below, made by the Honolulu
coxswain. Passing the lighthouse
the Myrtles got away again, but the
Honolulus were equal to the occa-
sion, and squirting gradually reduced
the gap, being beaten at the finish
by bare length. The Iolani crew
did not finish, but retired to their
boat house after reaching the light
house. Time % min. 81 sec. Mr..
Seelcy, the coxswain of the Homo
lulus, objected to the Myrtles having
the race, as they were in his water
at the knucklc buoy, and his crew
squirting touched the Stranger boat
in order to claim foul. Mr..
Torbet, the Myrtles' coxswain, also
claimed foul when the Honolulu
boat touched his boat at the bell
buoy. The judges reserved their
decision until tomorrow.

The Myrtle Club had two boats
entered for this race, but did not
put in an appearance. At the
word go" the Iolani crew shot out
right ahead, leaving the other crews
behind, and it looked any odds on
its winning. Soon after passing the
lighthouse the Liliuokalani crew
gave up. The Iolani Club turned
the spar buoy about a length ahead,
but, soon after, the No Name crew
passed them and took command
ing lead, winning in the end by
about twelve boats lengths. Time,
II min., AZ sec.
1t was Il few minutes after five
O'Clock when the last race was con-
cluded, and soon afterwards the
harbor and wharves were almost de-
serted. The Honolulu Yacht and
Boat Club is to be highly compli-
mented and congratulated ON the
success of it's initial regatta, and
we hope to see many more such like
occasions.
| INCIDENTS.
The decision of the judges in the
six-oared senior race will be made
known tomorrow.
Commodore Bickerton was the
belle of the regatta in his neat Co.'S
tune of cardinal and white.
George Markham will make his
mark one of these days in his racing
shell. He handles it very well.
Just as the Honolulu junior crew
were finishing in their race, they
run into Mr.. S. B. Dolc's canoe,
upsetting it and pitching its occu-
pant into the water. However, he
soon righted it, and with assistance
