The chief topic about town at
present is the boat races to take
place at Pearl Harbor tomorrow
afternoon between the senior and
junior crews of the Myrtles and
, Healanis. Lovers of Aquatic
sports have watched with interest
the work of the crews during the
past few weeks and are satisfied
that the races tomorrow will be for
blood Both crews are in fine
iettle and have suspended active
training reserving their strength
for the great event, Tomorrow's
races eclipse in some respects all
races given here, as the boats to be
used are the shells imported from
Australia. 1t will be the first race
here in a shell The course will be
one aud half miles siraightaway.
No better course for shell race
could have been picked at the I,ochs
than the one chosen. Both clubs
have been over the course and, ac-
cording to the knowing ones, very
fast time has been made.
The colors of the contending
clubs are all over town, and the
blue and white { Healani) aud red
and white (Myrtle) will be flying
as the train leaves for the scene of
action II is pity that the Lei.
lanls will not be represented in the
great events, The club started in
training too late and was unable to
get its men into good trim. The
Healanis and Myrtles are about
evenly matched with regard to
weight and it will be matter of
science and stamina to decide the
$500 championship,
