BOAT CLUBS At WORK IN EARN
EST FOR THE RACE.
Leilani Crew Go Into Training at
Pearl Harbor-Myrtle and Heiala-
mis- Remain in Town.

The senior crew and substitutes of
the Healani Club went into house
training today. The junior crew will
follow suit in a few days. The Myr-
ties have been batching it at their
boat house for week now.
The Leilani oarsmen will go to
Pearl Harbor on Saturday to train un-
til the date of the compact race, on
September II. They will be quarter
ed in the Calburn cottage, leaving the
city on one of the afternoon trains and
returning to work in the morning.
Captain Carter of the Healanis and
Captain Angus of the Myrtles will not
quarter their crews at Pearl Harbor.
Next week the men will begin to go
70 Pearl Harbor to become familiar
with the course. They will go down
and return in the afternoon.
"All the men who will participate
in the championship races have their
own business matters to attend to-"
said Captain Carter this morning.
'The competition will not be allowed
to be so keen that these men must
neglect their affairs"
The details for the siX-oared barge
race, to be rowed on Regatta day,
have not been arranged by the conf
mittee as yet. The new barge brought
on the Australia. for the Healani club
has not been examined officially.
The order to Alf Rogers was for a
barge of the same dimensions, lines.
build and make as the Myrtle barge,
made by Rogers last year. 1t is the
opinion of some of the Healani MEM
bers that the order has not been car
ried out to letter and that the Myr-
I ties have the best barge.
1t is the earnest hope of all admir-
ers of clean-cut, manly sport that the
Leilani club have representation in
the six-oared barge race on Regatta
day. That they have no barge is true,
but then they might compete in the
Carl W., belonging to the Healani
club.
Captain Carter stated this morning
that his club would very gladly tender
! the use of the Carl w. to the Leilanis'.
This barge was made in 1892. 1t is
inferior to both the Myrtle barge and
the new barge just received by the
Healani club. 1t is fully one foot and
| Ia half shorter in length and is much
wider. Besides her bow stands higher
in the water.

perhaps these plucky oarsmen would
enter the race from an even start,
notwithstanding this serious disad-
vantage.
There are exhibited in the display
windows of the Pacific Hardware store
the three Association cups offered in
last years races. All were won by the
Myrtle crews. The McCandless cup
| for the junior crews and the Associa-
tion cup for the senior crews must be
won three times before they can be-
come the property of any club.
The group pictures of the winning
crews on panels, decorated with fine
scroll work, by Viggo Jacobsen, are
also exhibited in the window. Henry
Giles. Olaf Sorenson, Thomas King
and George Angus are the seniors, and
| Charles Crane, Ruby Dexter, Dave
Crozier and Percy Lishman comprise

| Pearl Harbor course was 16 minutes
and seconds, while that of the lat
ter was 16 minutes and 81 seconds.
