but when she loomed up off Diamond
Head night had fallen. and Captain
Gates was obliged to stand off until
morning to get a tow.
AS nearly as can be learned but one
sailing vessel has ever beaten the rec
ord of the Hyde. She was the famous
old clipper ship Fair Wind, built for
speed rather than for carrying capac-
ity. and she is reported to have made
the run in days II hours. But that
was long ago in the days when speed
was considered the most important
quality for an ocean trader and ves-
sells carried clouds of canvas.
The Hyde is built rather as a car
rier than for speed. When she sailed
from San Francisco on Friday. Cap

thinking of making a speedy run. but
rather of making his vessel ready for
her long voyage around the Horn But
when the winds blew favorably and

COMING BOAT RACE.

The clerks of Levers & Cooke have
challenged the employees of the Bank
of Hawaii for a boat race without
practice. Arrangements for the CON
test have been nearly completed, but
the difficulty is about the coxswains.
1t is question whether p. C. Jones
and Robert Levers should do the
steering. 1t is a known fact that they
can steer clear of any rocks, because
when once in the boat they will have
an ample supply of "rocks" in their
pockets. and they have coralled any
that may be ahead. But then the
question of individual weight and a
handicap comes in. However. the
matter will be attended to this even

CERvERA ATTENDS CHURCH.
Curious People From Other Cities
Went to Annapolis Yesterday.

Annapolis, Md, was crowded yesterday
with curiosity seekers, who came from
Baltimore, Washington and elsewhere by
rail and by water in the hope of getting
peep at Admiral Cervera and the men
who fought and lost in the great naval
fight eff Santiago
Those who reached there early in the
morning were rewarded for their trouble,
as nearly all the prisoners, including the
admiral, attended divine services at St.
Marys Roman Catholic Church, where
they offered up thanks for their deliverance
from the fate that overlook SO many of
their less fortunate comrades, who fell be-
fore the relentless fire of the American
guns July 3.
The church embraces among its Members
some of the most prominent and aristocrat-
ic of Annapolis people. The morning ser
vices were conducted by Rev. Father Cooke
in the presence of a congregation which
taxed the capacity of the edifice to it's
utmost
At the close of the services the officers
returned to the Naval Academy and spent
the balance of the day in strolling about
the grounds lounging on the broad
piaZzas which surround most of the build
ings in which the prisoners are quartered.
Capt Eulate of the Vizcaya is the only
one of the officers who has thus far re-
fused to sign the parole pledge. His rea-
sons for it that Admiral Cervera was
only required to give a verbal PROMISE
and that his (Euiate's) rank entities him
TO the same privilege. The authorities
here have no doubt that the matter will
be amicably arranged and that the scru-
pies CT the gallant officer may be over
come.
Soma of the Spanish officers thought
they could mail their letters without cen
the city boxes. They We're returned to the
academy authorities for inspection
