LIFE OF LOCAL sPoNrs.
Coming Attractions in the Field
and Water.


Since it has been definitely settled,
with forfeit money of $50 put up
with the BULLETIN, that the long
talked of boat race between the Hea
lanis and the Myrtles was to take
place on Oct. 9TH, there has been
considerable talk among the local
boatmen. Messrs. A. w. Carter and
A. G.. M. Robertson, who returned
from the States lately, we're active
members of the Myrtle Boat Club
previously and pulled in many a
winning crew. As it has been rum
ored that both will enter the Myr-
ties boat in the coming race, it has
made quite a stir in the Healani
club. Both are good oarsmen,
Carter's usual position being stroke.
The Myrtles take spin. in the har-
Dor every evening, but they have not
as yet gone into active training.
They have a much stronger crew
than last year and the Healanis, the
present champions, will have to look
to their laurels if they wish to main
tain their present position.
The Healani Boat Club, or the
boys of the royal blue as they are
dubbed, will enter the same crew as
last year with the exception of H. j.
Gallagher, E. Holt taking his place.
They will pull in the same boat, the
Carl w." and although not exactly
confident, the blues are of the opin-
ion that the Myrtles will have to
pull, and mighty hard too to win.
The Healanis also take daily spins
in the harbor The race for the
pennant will take place on the Pen
insula course at Pearl city.
The wrestling championship was
won by James Spencer about
three weeks ago at the armory, he
being awarded the medal emblem
attic of the title. Nothing has been
heard since of Prof. Loheide's athle-
tic school of culture, and it is be.
lieved that the club has gone to the
wall, as every other athletic school
has done here. One of the subjects
of instruction at Loheide's schoo
was club swinging. Looking to the
advancement of the latter class Johr
Tuney, of the U. S. S. Boston, ha:
started class in club swinging, anC
has already ten members in course
of training, among them being Jas
Spencer, stroke oar of the Healan
crew. Tuney gave an exhibition il
club swinging at the armory at the
late entertainment, and some o
those present we're SO taken up witt
his swinging that they requested
him to form class.
With the exception of a practice
game of cricket there will be NJ
athletic attraction on Saturday after
noon. The week following, how
ever, there will be two attractions
the football game and the foot rae
between the "bloods." There vii
be an annexationist and a royalist il
the race. The U. S. fagship's bant
will be in attendance to "whoop he
up"
The Amateur League will ope
the season on the Saturday follow
ing the football match, the Planet
and Healanis crossing bats in tn
initial match.

score record in New Zealand as
