Aloha. ........-....... Alex. Robertson
This was one of the most exciting
events, of the day, and had been
patiently waited for by the great crowd
that lined the wharyes. A good start was
effected, and strong efforts were made
by the Hanakeoki crew to push their
colors to the front at the lighthouse, but
the Swift came to the turning point first
and thus early the pace was shown to be
too strong for the Aloha The crew of
the Swift piled up to forty-two to the
spar, the Hanakeoki answering with
like stroke, the Aloha pulling forty. At
the Spar the Swift lead by five seconds,
and at the Bell had increased the lead
to fourteen, turning that much ahead of
her nearest rival. The pull home was
made with unfagging energy by both
crews, and the interest in the race was
plainly evident by the cheers from the
warships as they recognized the gallant
tars from the flagship Charleston in the
leading boat. The Swift passed the
lighthouse minute ahead, and grand
salute all along the line was given the
victors, even the voice of the unseductive
syren of the Charleston piling on the
agony The Swift arrived in IS m. 30s.,
the Hanakeoki 29m. 80 S. and the Aloha
so I'm. 20s.

And now came the event of the day, |
renamed the Speedway the
boat was really the Swift of the twelve
cared race and manned by the same
crew of Charleston men with an addition
of two more. The Hanakeoki also
showed up with fresh addition of two
and the understanding was that the crew
was to make great effort to win. The
Aloha did not come to the scratch so the
start was given to the two boats men
toned. At the word both crews took
the water we'll and both coxswains
urged their men to jump the lead. A
grand, ding dong race was rowed from
The start to the lighthouse the Hama
Seoki leading by trifle one brief mo-
nent to be almost Immediately sup
planted by the bow of the Speedway
and heavily pulled, was the stroke, both
,rews bending well to their work. At
The lighthouse buoy collision occurred
put the crews kept on, those whose oars
we're entangled getting them clear as
pest they could, both striving for that
goal the spar buoy, to obtain the lead at
which would have put Hanakeoki's
stock away up. The boats rounded the
;par the Speedway leading, her con-
estant a few seconds behind, both pull /
ng strong forty-two. The shades of /
evening commenced to lower ere the 7
)oats reached the spar buoy back again
N the home trip and the CLINT OF the
Wright on the smooth waters OF the
hannel gave no evidence from differ
nee in stroke which boat was ahead or
,ehind. It was not until the contestants
rrived off the lighthouse that intelli- ]
ence was given by the steam-whistle of 7
Rear Admiral Browns launch that the I,
peedaway was ahead and with that the e
Hence was broken, the cheers from the P
]harleston and shouts from the shore,
dded to again by both whistle and
yren of the American flagship, acknow- n
sdging the second victory for the :
'harlestoI crew. The time was, Speed
way q m. 80 s., Hanakeoki % m. so S.
Prizes were awarded to both the r
