THE REGATTA.

THE REGATTA.
The regatta being the first event
in celebration Of the fourth, mostly
everybody consulted the weather
Immediately on awakening. The
day dawned gloriously calm, and
yatchtsmen despaired.
A few minutes after O'Clock the
first race came off, being that of six
Dared Ci%a. sliding seats, between
the Myrtle clubs Alice Nj. and the
Honolulu clubs Liliuokalani. Alice
NJ, won easily by 20 seconds; time
of winning boat, 20 minutes.
Second race-galley or gig, six
oars, stationary seats. A good start
was made but the native boat ka-
piolani soon took the lead and walk
ed away with tile cake. The strug-
gle between the U. $. S. Alert and
Ii. B. NJ. S. Espiegle boats for Sec
ond prize was closely contested.
The Espiegle boat, PuaaIa, was in
advance of the Alert's to the turn
ing point, where the Alert's bow oar
fouled the stern of the Puaala, but
no foul was claimed. Although the
Alert's boat lost some space by the
collision she afterwards gradually
crawled up on the Espiegle boat and
passed her. Time of the boats:
Kapiolani, 29:lO; Alert, 81 100;
Puaals (Espiegle), 31.55, and Pill
comayo, $500.
Third race-yachts of over five
tons measurement. Entered, Spray,
COZ tons; Healani, 6.29; Hawaii,
6.95; Kahlhilani, 8.l4 and Helene,
1922. A gentle breeze had sprung
up, and at the signal to start the
Hawaii took big lead, and setting
all canvas was away ahead in short
time.
The Spray crossed the starting line
second, the Kahihilani third, Helene
| fourth, and Healani fifth. The wind,
while beating up to Waikiki, was
favorable to the smaller boats, being
too light for the larger ones. The
.Kahihilani was the first to make an
inshore tack on rounding the bell
buoy. The Hawaii rounded the
Waikiki stake boat short distance
in advance of the Spray, Healani and
Helene, which three vessels had
gained handsomely on the Hawaii.
On the run before the wind to Pearl
River, the Hawaii was considerably
in the lead for the greater part of
the distance, but when near the stake
boat stiff breeze sprang up and the
Helene went ahead. A lull cane
before the stake boat was reached,
however, and the Hawaii forging
ahead, turned first. On the beat
home the Healani stole march
by lacking away inshore, the
Helene also going in consider
ably, while the Hawaii kept too
much to sea. Near the bell buoy on
the return home the Healani was
leading handsomely. The Helene
held good position and weathered
the buoy finely. The Spray, although
far behind at one time, having gained
by her inshore tack, came very near
rounding the bell buoy before the
Hawaii. While beating up the pass.
age the Healani, which was ahead
became becalmed for a moment on
the Eva side of the passage, and the
Helene, picking up puff on the
Waikiki side, carried it along with
her and walked in ahead. The He
lene crossed the line first, the Hea,
lani second, the Hawaii third, and
the Spray fourth, very closely.
