Pearl Harhor as place for public
aquatic sports was happily insugur-
ated yesterday. The Oahu Railway
and Land Company provided the
prizes, made all preliminary arrange
ments, and then gave the program
into hands experienced in the Homo

tons events of late years to he car.

Kamehameha III. and St Patricl1's
! Day has never been enthusiastically
although often generally observed -
the observance being dependent on
whether any public amusement was
provided. Hon. j. A. Cummins,
who has joint interest with Ha-
waits former king and Ireland's pa
iron saint in the day, has sometimes
made the day go with horse
races. This year the railway com
pany has made such happy holiday
of it, with the kindly cooperation of
the clerk of the weather, that the re-
suit will probably be fixture of the
day as one of our most esteemed and
lOllSSu-iOl lOllVdNS. II hdlItud-
meha's name should grow rusty
through the influences of Bushs re-
publicanism, or the memory of St.
Patrick become spoiled by the intro
duction of snakes and toads, then we
can change the name to Pearl Har-
Dor Day and make it the chief re-
gatta day of the year. That a fair
Inauguration Of new series of
March 17ths was accomplished yes
terday is attested in the first place by
the carrying of two thousand people
by the railway to the pearly shores.
The trains carried The people down
Lehua avenue to near the starting
point of the races. The Myrtle Boat
Club entertained their friends at
their camp, while the general public
took picnic baskets along, or else
depended on the refrcshment booth
where good lunch was served at
moderate price.
The judges of the regatta were
Hon. G. B. Wilson, Mr.. w. NJ. Gif-
fard and Capt. j. A. King, who called
in Capt. Griffith of the barkentine S.
G.. Wilder TO assist them in watching
the races. Messrs. Jos. Huhash and
w. f. Love were time-keepers. The
O. r. e l.. Co.'S steamer Frolic was
the judges cruiser, DIR. Trousseau
also kindly assisting with his naphtha
launch Annie, on board of which he
had party OF friends, including DR..
Henri McGrew, Mons. Vizzavonna,
Mr.. w. w. Hall, Capt. Griffith and
the BULLETIN representative, TO view
the yacht races.
