judges. The entries were, the Edith
L., by James Lyle; Colleen Bawn, by
Charles White; Coral Queen, II. E.
Walker and Pokii, by w. f. Will
liams. Considerable interest was
attached to this race for it was WE'LL
known that the Edith L. and Pollii
were a pretty close match if properly
sailed, and the Coral Queen and Col
leen BawD were, so to say, "ghost
stories" The starting gun was fired
at 10h. 25m 30s., a strong breeze
rufiiing the waters of the harbor and
giving good opportunity for speedy
run out the channel The POkii was
in the favored position and crossed the
line out first, at 10h. 25m. As, the
Colleen Bawn second, the Edith L.
two minutes and ten seconds behind
the Pokii, and the Coral Queen three
quarters of a minute behind the
Edith /. The race was q very pretty
one and well contested from
commencement to end, the Edith |
L. being ably handled as
was due the Coral Queen. The latter
boat beat the Colleen Bawn tout of |
sight while by bad judgment on the |
part of the sailing master of the Po- /
xii, the Edith l.. took the lead at the |
Waikiki stakeboat and retained it to |
the end, coming in winner. The times

a swimming race was on the pro-
gramme but the contestants could |
not be found, or they could not find |
the judges so the event was declared |
off.
The events in the harbor regatta |
were all interesting and were pulled |
and sailed off without the slightest |
protest fact which is not usual on
race days.
