start at the lower end of the harbor.
Seaman Falls cast the lead and cried:
Five feet" as she drew alongside the
stake-boats.
The Myrtles had won the toss and
taken the extreme mauka course. The
Healanis had the makai and the Lei
Ianis were in between. The stake
boats marked the respective positions.
Bill Ferrier represented the Myrtles,
B. Smith the Leilanis and George Tur-
ner the Healanis.
The Healanis were the first to leave
their quarters, and as they did so they
raised their oars with the blades paint
ed blue, according to college custom,
and receiving the greetings from their
admirers, shot out toward the start.
The Myrtles, with their red jackets
showing plainly in the distance, were
the next to take to the water. They
had both reached the starting point be-
fore the Leilanis, with their yellow
Jerseys, began on the trip down.
The crews were as follows:

Quickly the crews took their places,
each coxswain eying the other as if a
kingdom depended on the start. The
Bennington's launch lay to near by.
Starter Wilson gave the word: co..
at 5:3712 D. M, the white flag of the
launch dropped and the boats shot out.
The Myrtles took their five quick
strokes and gained the lead. With a
steady 80 stroke they left their oppo-
nents and bent to the oar with a will.
The Healanis were out to catch them,
and the Leilanis with their apparently
too quick stroke, kept falling in the

place was surrounded by a large dele
cation of sympathiZers.
The three or four hundred people
who went down on the first train
picked out places along the shore from
which to watch the races, and many OF
them chuckled at the thought that they
had secured standing positions in ad-
vance Of those who were expected on
the next train, even if it did involve
waiting in the hot sun. The time for
the arrival Of the 3:15 train came and
passed and no train put in an appear
ance. There was not even the sound
of whistle to indicate that the train
was coming at all. There was nothing
TO do but wait with what patience they
could summon for the remainder of the
spectators. The waves dancing up and
down and the marking flags fluttering
in the breeze were small amuSements.
There wasn't any music, because some
of the members of the band were wait
ing at the Honolulu end for the train
to start. When the train finally arrived
at 4:45 o'clock there were fully thou

The judges proceeded straightaway
to the Roth premises, where they met,

members of the crews. G. B. Wilson

rear without hope of catching up. The
Myrtles, having gained great lead,
came down to a slower stroke, while
the Healanis increased theirs. When
the MyrtleS went past their quarters,
the race was theirs and the cheers they
received must have done their hearts
good and added strength to their arms,
for they increased their speed and fair
ly shot over the finish line. Captain
Parker dropped the white flag and the
race was in the hands of the Myrtles
The Healanis finished second in good
form and the Leilanis third.
Time was as follows:
Myrtles: 0:29H.
Healanis: 10: As Is.
Leilanis: 11:45 fat
Last years time in the junior race,
won by the Myrtles, was 1921 fiat, or

Dexter, stroke; d. Crozier No. 8; p.
Lishman, No. 2; G. Crane, bow. Bet
ter time could have been made had the
Myrtles been pushed.
There was quite long interval be-
tween the finish of the junior and the
beginning of the senior race. The Myr-
ties were at the start first, the Healanis
came next and the Leilanis last.
The crews were as follows:
Myrtle: o. Sorenson, stroke; l..
Scott, P Lishman, W. Crozier and Cox
swain A. A. Wilder.

The crews occupied the same posi-
tions as in the junior race. The prom
ise was good for moonlight event,
and indeed such it proved to be. The
boats lined up, and the word: Co"

the lead and kept it to the first point.
The Myrtles were a little slow in get

the wearers of the blue at the place

made a strong effort to get away and

The time was as follows:

Healanis: 9:59 3-5. Exception is
taken to this time by number of peo-
pie who saw the race, it being their
opinion that the Healanis were only

very dark and the flag opposite the
wharf upon which the judges OF the
finish stood was barely distinguishable
and a mistake of a few seconds might
have been possible.
The time of the Leilanis was not
taken, as they were so far behind.

Myrtles, winners both years, have bet

The races over, the people fairly
f1ocked to the cars and reached town
close upon 8 o'clock, many having to
forego the pleasure of the evening on
account of the delay of the trains and
the consequent postpOnement of the
races.
No one was hurt and no one played

1t is estimated that there were about
800 people at the races.

I had not intended to write anything
more upon lynch law, but recent utter
ances from the press and the pulpit pro
woke me to say that the people OF
Georgia do not deserve the condemna
ton of friends or foes for their consent
to lynchings when the crime is one that
is nameless. Our people are as humane
and law-abiding to-day as they were thir
ty, forty or fifty years ago, and the re-
cords Of the courts prove 1T. In 1851
there were 216 white convicts in the PEN
itentiary; now there are but 1876, and
we have a greater population. There is
so per cent less of felonies in Georgia
than in New York or Massachusetts, ac-
cording to population. OF course, / mean
among the whites. Now set that down.
An Ohio paper has recently inyestigat-
ed the record of that nameless crime for
the past ten years in that State and
gives the figures which show 324 cases,
and the negro criminals Outnumber the
whites six to one in proportion to popu-
lation. In Georgia they outnumber the
whites sixty to one and it is because
of our scattered and unprotected popula-
ton in the rural district. Before the
war that crime was unknown and almost
unheard of in the South. / never heard
of a case in north Georgia. In 70
had occasion to visit Cedar BLU IN
Alabama and my companion, Judge
derwood, stopped the horse to show N,
a pile of stones that was heaped up a
round a dead and blasted tree. ''These
stones" said he, "mark the place where
a negro brute was burned two years
ago and also mark the place where he
committed the crime and then murder
ed his victim" That was the only case
that came to my knowledge. During
the war, when in hundreds Of families
the only protectors of women and child
rem were negroes, not deed of violence
or betrayal of trust was heard of from
the Potomac to the Rio Grande; and
General Henry r. Jackson eloquently
said of them, ''they deserve monument
that would reach the stars"
How is it now? Nearly 5000 colored
convicts in the chaingangs and less than
200 whites, and the nameless crime is
committed by negroes somewhere every
day in the year. What is the cause
OF this alarming degeneracy of the me-
gro? / heard a preacher say the other
day that lynching for this crime or any
lawless public sentiment. He is mistak-
en-. 1t is rather the evidence of minds
charged, perhaps overcharged, with love,
and respect for wives and daughters,
and no man who has neither is a fit

neighbor who all these years has been
