All Day Long.

Entries for the events in the regatta
of Saturday next were closed at the
Pacific Hardware Company at 1 D. m.
yesterday with very good results.
There are entries for every event, and
there will not be a single race lacking
in interest.
The Comus' men have dropped into
line and will be decidedly in the 10
cared cutter and six-oared gig races.
1t was thought that the Chinese and
Japanese fishing boats would not catch
the spirit of the day, but they have
been urged, and will compete.
The swimming races will prove very
interesting events, not only on account
of the fact that champion swimmers
from the States have entered, but be-
cause some of the island boys have had
the grit to go in against them.
w. F. Love, H. A Giles and G. B.
Gray have decided to take their chances
at getting a good ducking in the har-
Dor, and will direct the movement of
tubs.
With the Hawaii, Bonnie Dundee
and Pilot-boat No. in the first-class
yacht race people may expect to see
very close finish. The Pokii, Edith l..
and other boats bob up serenely again
in the second-class yacht race.
The second, ninth and seventeenth

In the six-oared gig race the Comus
will have the Kanoelani. The police
crew were to have taken this boat, but,
owing to some misunderstanding, fail
ed to make connections. However, Cap
tain Parker thinks he can hold his own
in the boat he now has.
The Pacific Mail wharf will be thor
Oughly cleaned and a large number of
chairs will be placed there for specta-
tors. Last year there was the disagree
able element of coal dust from a steam
er discharging her cargo there, but
this year no such unpleasant feature
need be looked for.
The Hawaiian Band, under Professor
Berger, will play on the Pacific Mail
wharf from $50 a. m. until u m, and
then from after luncheon until the
end at 80 p. m.
Every race will have its time of start
ing set, and boats must be on hand
at the proper moment.
The Myrtle and Healani Boat Club
houses will be gaily decorated, and the
friends of the respective organizations
will be heartily welcomed The boat
houses are about as good places as
could be desired for a view of the
races.
