WINNERS OF THE JUNIOR RACE

When the shot was fired from the pieI
the coxwains shouted CO. and the
policemen's oars dropped with flash
and the boat Immediately shot out on a
lead which they kept increasing to the
finish. There was no official time kept
of this race, but Tailor Low thinks the
Marshal beat him by a few minutes
The prison boys are going to train down
from now until the next regatta, be-
lieving they can change some of the
fat on their frames into muscle and in
that way reduce the time.
The event looked forward to with a
full measure of interest was the one
between the Senior crews. The sudden
illness of Charlie Walker was hard
blow to the Healani Club, and their
chances of winning were visibly re-
duced. The public felt confident that
the Myrtles would have a walk-over,
so that of the $4,000 which changed
hands, four-fifths of it went out on two
10 one bets. George Ross of the Juniors
offered tc row in both races if it was
satisfactory to the Myrtles, and Will
liams, who was trained to pull No. 2,
was changed to stroke and Ross was
put in his place. The changes were
such as would affect any crew when
made the night before the race, but the
Healanis bit their tongues and went
into the fight with determination to
win.
AS the crews left their quarters to
pull to the starting point, shouts went
up from the line of spectators extend
ing from the long pier to far above the
point next to Roth's. Lieutenant Lash
er, Ensign Stanworth and Paymaster
Semmes of the Adams left their friends
on the pier, the Lieutenant taking the
wheel and the others seating themselves
in the cabin of their launch. Time
keepers Wichman and Kruger, Starter
Wilson and one or two others were at
the bow. Luther Wilcox, acting as pilot,
stuck close to Lieutenant Lasher. w.
c. Parke of the regatta committee and
a representative of the Advertiser had
comfortable seats with the Ensign and
Paymaster
AS the launch steamed past the Myr-
tie house Ensign Stanworth told the
Chinese steward to ''let go the stern
line on the McBrayer that was hidden
under the cushions" The command
must have been surprise to the stew
ard. for he rolled his eyes and said:
What Alleady?"
The wind had gone down trifle by
the time the crews reached the starting
point. but the sea was still choppy This
time the choice for position was won
by the Myrtles, and when it was an
nounced from the launch, Stroke Sor-
enson said they would take the makai
side, graceful act, considering that
the mauka side was the best; but the
Myrtles felt that their opponents crew
had been weakened through accident,

and they were DESTROYS of giving them
every opportunity TO make a good show
ing. Considerable difficulty was en-
countered in getting the boats in po-
sition for a proper start. The current
was running swiftly and the shells wig
gled away from the line one minute and
the launch the next. Starter Wilson

from the c0xwains and they turned
their heads so their eyes looked
straight at the head of the man in front
Wilson waived his pistol and when the
boats were on line snapped it once,
but there was no report; again with the
same result. The Myrtles found them
selves drifting and began backing water
to keep from going too far ahead, and
while they were still backing the shot
was fired. Coxwain Giles called to the
starter to hold on a minute but he
was too late. The Healani boys got
first water and took the lead and kept
it. For the firts half mile it looked
like stern chase; at the three-quarter
flag Giles was encouraging the boys
in every conceivable way, but they
could make no showing until the three
quarter flag was reached. Chamberlain
of the Healanis showed signs of weak
ening; Ross called for squirt and a
hearty response was given, but the
Myrtles were gaining an inch at
time by regular broad sweeps, and at
the end of mile they were in position
to dictate, while the Healani crew were
growing weaker through Chamberlain S
illness; the rowing was unsteady and
instead of forging ahead with each
stroke they moved by jerks. When an
other squirt was called for Chamberlain

answered mechanically. Passing the
Myrtle house sheers rent the air; the
young oarsman heard them and knew
where they were, but he could not see
the people on shore. A few strokes
more and his head dropped on his
breast, and the Myrtles passed the line
in 1903, six seconds ahead. Chamber
lain was lifted from the boat and car
ried into the house and doctor called
to attend him. Stimulants were ad-
ministered and in a few minutes he
vomited blood. A half hour later he
was taken to the train on cot and re-
moved to his home. He recovered soon
after and was down town yesterday, ap-
parently none the worse for his illness.
George Ross was the freshest man in
the crew, even though he had pulled in
two races and only an hour apart.
Lloyd, who was not believed to be
over strong, proved himself good one,
as did Stroke Williams.
AS this is the third race for the cup
and the third time it has been won by
the Myrtle Club, it becomes their prop
erty.
Saturday night, mine host Krouse of
the Arlington wined and dined Soren-
son, Henry Giles, Geo. Angus, Thomas
King and Coxwain Arthur Giles of the
Seniors, and Dexter Crane, Lshman and
Crozier of the Juniors. Afterward they
took a wagonette and made calls.
President Lansing of the Healani
Club was proud of the clubs crews,
even though they lost. 1t was gallant
effort and they deserved recognition.
Upon his invitation, Henry Williams,

The process by which nature forms

crust is full If water, which percolates
everywhere through the rocks, making
solutions % elements obtained from
them. These solutions take up small
particles of precious metal which they
find here and there.
Sometimes the solutions in question
are hot, thu water having got so far
down as to ne sot boiling by the inter

Now and then the streams thus form

er below the ground, pass through
cracks or cavities i'll the rocks, where
they deposit their lodes Of silver. This

How Treasure Il Transported In China

ity which, in such land, enables the
remotest province to transport its dues
to Picking in solid silver, by the sim
plest means, without loss by the way
and without the protection Of a single
soldier. Nothing impresses one more
with the absoluteness of this power as
applied to transportation than to meet
kne of pack mules, horses, or camels,
loaded with silver bullion. The silver is
usually confined in rough logs Of wood
that have been split, followed out, and
then bound together, and each load is
marked with a little flag Of imperial
yellow, stating the amount and destina-
ton. That is all the protection there is
except the ordinary drivers, who carry
no weapons, and are attended by no
guard. In what other land on the face
Of the globe could the same be done?-
