Novelty Contests.
The Regatta Committee of the Row
ing Association has been hard ut
work for the past several days on
program for September 10. 1t is in
tended to make that day one of the
greatest for acquatic sports in Homo
lulu in years. There will be no
championship events. The whole day
will be given over to water front
amusements of the style of few
years ago.
The following program has been ar
ranged, subject to additions:
/. Second class yacht race.
>. Sailing canoe race.
3. X.paddle canoe race.
| 4. Tub race.
5. First class Yacht race.
6. Swimming contest, 100 yards.
Z. Distance diving.
! s. Tug of war in shore boats Ga
novelty.
9. Whale boat race, bell buoy
course.
10. Four-oar shell race, q mile,
open to all.
It is expected that the second class
yacht race will be very exciting.
There will likely be five boats in,
as follows: c. W. Macfarlane's 'Uku-
lele": Walkers Coral Queen: Myrtle
Boat Clubs Edith L.; Bill Williams
''pokii', and Johnson's double-ender.
The Ultuele is now being put in thor
ough shape. The Coral Queen and
Edith L are both in good trim.
The sailing canoe race will be an
interesting event. 1t is expected that
all the experts on the beach will enter.
The fun will come in the number Of
boats that will turn over. 1t will
probably end, after long scramble,
with the slowest boat in the lead.
The siX-paddle canoe race will be
one in which the natives will have the
advantage. 1t will be open to all. The
tub race will be made as extensive as
possible. This is always exciting.
Then comes the first class yacht
race An effort is being made to get
the Hawaii and Helene in against the
Bonnie Dundee.
The swimming contest will also be
open to all 1t will be a speed race
for a distance of 100 yards, and will
likely be from the Myrtle boat house
The distance diving contest will be
something new. Heretofore the con
test has been upon the time under
water. The distance will be measured
by the Judges from their bots.
Nothing will be more interesting
than the tug-of-war in shore boats
The rules governing this will be Ell
tirely new. The four-oar shell race
will doubtless be "A pull between tn,
Myrtle, Healani and Leilani crews.
Prizes for these contest will range
from S. to $50. The committee il
making a canvass of merchants ant
others for subscriptions. If enough
can be realized no entrance fees vii
