reported himself. The information
brought up by Poepoe was that the
old man was holding on by the buoy
chain. Going down a 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. When
it seemed settled that Palahu had
surely determined to stay to dinner
with the mermaids, his gray beard
made its appearance on the surface,
and he was, of coupse, greeted with
rousing cheers and declared the
winner of the Divers prize. He had
been under water two minutes and
"a seconds.

The Naonaos led off at the start,
but had not pulled far until they
were distanced by the Homais, who
continued gradually increasing the
gap between them and the others
until the finish. The Naonaos did
not come back TO the line, having
abandoned the contest on the return,
before reaching the lighthouse. The

Everytime was not there at the
time of starting. The other three
boats pulled out in fine style, two of
them making so close contest as TO
cause a foul, when the bugle sounded
on the judges boat and the racers
had to return and start again. The

Course-Same as in No. 5. Kuliai-
kanuu. Hon. j. A. Cummins, Red

esty's Chamberlain, Blue and White.
This race attracted great deal
of attention. Many of the spec
tators who had up to this time, kept
their seats on the stand, got up and
pressed forward to the 'front.'. Others
stood on chairs and boxes, and pro-
gress was reported about every
minute by those having the advan-
tage of glasses or of good eyesight.
The Hanakeokis had the inside posi-
ton, and led out to the lighthouse
and had gained about length at
that point. The Kuliaikanuus, how
ever, soon closed the gap, and took
the lead.' The contest was pretty
close, but the race was spoiled by
the stake boat near the bell buoy
having been removed, 30 that Mr..
Cummins had only an imaginary
turning point to 60 round. Col.
Judd claimed that his opponent had
not turned the bell buoy, but simply
waited for the Hanakeoki to do so,
and then bent his oars for the home
stretch. The judges, boat was
passed by the Kuliaikanuu in 27m.
45s., and the Hanakeoki in 27m.,
55s.; but the judges declared the
race null and void.
The band then struck up Hawaii
Ponoi, which the crowds accepted as
notice to disperse; and the great
Hawaiian Regatta of 1885 was over
LATELY the blacksmith shop of the
