invited guests the Honolulu Club had
obtained the use of the lnter-1sland
Steam Navigation Co. 8 wharf, which
was fitted up in an appropriate man
ncr, and well filed with friends of
the club. The Royal Hawaiian Band
was stationed on the wharf and
played throughout the afternoon.
The judges boat was in its usual
place, and decorated with flags.
Capt Morse entertained quite
party on board the Alameda. The
various wharves were well lined with
spectators, and the vessels in that
vicinity were also crowded. The
barkcntine Klikitat was prcttily de-
corated with flags. The scene on
the water was a gay one. Here and
there could be seen members of the
club dressed in their neat and pretty
uniforms of blue and white, in ca
noes, barges and sailing boats, all
dressed with flags. The Myrtle Boat
Clubs house was crowded with in
vited guests, who obtained a good
view of the races. The tug Alert

events for the benefit Of the judges.

The Honolulus won the toss and
took the inside position. As the
crews took their positions, it looked
any odds on the Honolulus winning
the race, owing to the youthful APP
pearance of their opponents. At
the word GO" both crews took
the water together. Before Wildcr's
wharf was reached the Myrtles had
obtained a lead of about an eighth
of a length, the Honolulus pulling
rather wild if anything. At the
lighthouse the Myrtles had increased
their lead. The race to the spar
buoy was pretty one. The Myr-
ties made good turn, while the
Honolulus went little wide. After
turning the latter put on squirt,
but it was no avail, as the Myrtles
went right ahead and at the finish
won very easily. Time, 1G minutes
20 seconds.

off at great pace, Low second, and
Baird third. Opposite the Inter-
Island Co.'s wharf Low got level
with Dole, and a ding dong race
cnsued to the lighthouse, where
Dole gave up short Of wind. Baird
kept splendidly in the rear in the hope
that his opponents would upset, and
the race would be his. However,
Low won easily and the victory is
more creditable to him, as he had
only just previously pulled in the
