The business center of the town was
closed up and deserted. 1t was like
Sunday on Fort street. Both the boat
houses were jammed with people. So
was the landing between them and the
fronting pontoons. All the vessels
from Pacific Mail to the Oceanic wharf
were crowded. Chairs had been pro-
vided on the decks of the merchantmen
and special awnings screened the aqu-
attic enthusiasts from the sun. The
Mikahala, anchored in the stream in
front of naval row, had the families of
I. l. S. n. Co. officials and friends
aboard Small craft of all kinds, filled
with pleasure parties, piled in every di-
rectiOn over the bay. One of the pret-
tiest of these was Macfarlane's launch
Julie, carrying Col. J. H. Fisher, c. w
Macfarlane, Mrs. Macfarlane, Misses
Kitchen, Jack Atkinson, Jock Carter
and others. Larsen's steam launch was
employed by the Regatta Committee
for the convenience of officials.
All the shipping on the south side of
the harbor was handsomely decorated.
These were the vessels: Harvester,
Capt. Beck; Colusa, Capt. Ewart;
Fresno, Capt UnderwoOd-aII at Pa
cific Mail wharf. c. F. Sargent, Capt.
Haskell, at Kinau wharf; General Cor
don, Capt. WOrralI and Vincent, Capt.
Bryce, at Fort street wharf. Several
HUNDRED people stood on the Likelike
wharf, where they had clear view of
the race course. The band was sta
toned on the bark Harvester and
played all day.
At both the Myrtle and Healani boat
houses great crowds of people were en-
tertained from early morning to about
$50 in the afternoon. Refreshments
were served at both places all day.
Dancing was a feature and was kept UP
continuously. Native Orchestras fur
nished the music. At noon lunch was
served in the rooms upstairs at the
Myrtle boat house and downstairs
at Healani quarters. Both clubs did
we'll and certainly gave their friends
a most enjoyable time. Expressions of
hearty appreciation were numerous and
most sincere.
The judges stand was anchored
straight off the I. I. S. n. wharf. 1t
was one of the huge scOws from the
railway wharf, covered with a stout
awning and decorated. On it were Of
fcials of the day, press representatives,
leaders of the sporting fraternity and a
few special guests. The Regatta Com
mittee, consisting of S. E. P. Taylor,
G. H. Gere and c. S. Crane, were in
charge over all. c. B. Wilson, Capt. c.
J. Campbell and Chas. B. Gray were the
judges. They were assisted by T. J.
King. Mr.. Wilson Offciated as starter.
The timekeepers were Louis Marks, Al
fred T. Brock, Chris Willis and Gun
ner Jaffee of the Philadelphia. Re
cOrders-JOhn w. Short and w. H.
CharlOck, Jr. Capt. z. H. Parker was
clerk of the course. Representative A.
G.. NJ. Robertson, father of Regatta
Day, was present as general advisor.
ex-OfficiO. J. W. Chapman served the
fine lunch at noon. Fifty people sat
down to it. The dining table was
stretched down the middle of the pa
viliOn.

HEALANIS AND MYRTLES.

The real big event of the forenoon
and perhaps of the day, was the six
oar barge race between crews of the
Healani and Myrtle boat, clubs. There
was more general interest in this event
than in any other on the program. It
was what took many people to the
waterfront, and some left when it was
over.
The Healanis entered the following
crew: f. w. Klebahn, stroke; Dan Re
near, Paul Jarrett, c. Boisse, J. Water
house and c. c. Rhodes. Maurice
Damon was coxswain. The Myrtles put

BARGE RACE START.

to the judges stand Captain E. H.
! Parker started the race.
Renear made a straight and Kiuo-
! keo a diving start. When the latter
came up the haole was with him. From
there out the two men stayed together
until within ten yards of the finish,
| when Renear edged ahead. He was
about two yards ahead when stopped
! by one of his own friends in a boat
| Both thought the line had been crossed,
when, as a matter of fact Renear was
a stroke or two away from it. Kimo-
keO swan straight ahead and won.
There was considerable kicking about
the matter and the man in the boat
who had stopped Renear was ruled off
the course by the judges. There were
those who wanted the race oyer, and
in five minutes as much as $500 of Re
near money was up. In the meantime,
however, KimoI1eo had taken a boat
and left. 1t is conceded that the two
men are very evenly matched.
CANOES AND PUNTS.
The canoe races were, of course, par
ticipated in only by native Hawaiians.
In the forenoon there was a paddle con-
test and in the afternoon a sailing race
In the first the Kakaako won easily in
10 min, 81 sec. The Leilani took sec
Ond place. Great care was exercised
in the sailing canoe event and there
were no accidents. Maui Boy won in
% minutes and Niaulani was a close
second.
The punt race was one of the real
funny things of the day. 1t had to be
rowed and steered with shOveIs. Both
entries were by the u. S. S. Philadel-
phia. The boats were the Fasseur and
Crowley. The latter won in min,
II seconds.
MYRTLES AGAINST MYRTLES.
A whole crop of MyrtIes came up in
the next event 1t was the fOur-Oar
barge race around the Spar buoy, the
same as that of the six-oar barge Of
the forenoon. The MyrrIes put in three
boats. AS the barge Healani was not
in condition the champion club did not
enter
The boats and crews entered by the
Nyrtles were as follows: AIf Rodgers
W. w. Harris, stroke; w. CrOzier,
Fred Angus and Harry Wilder. Myrtle
Tom King, stroke, A. Harris, D. Vida
and Sam Lyle. Alice M.-GeOrge Full
Ter, stroke; George Clarke, Will F.
Schmidt and Sam Johnson. The Alf
Rodgers got the start but did not keep
it. There was lots Of hard pulling, and
the race was close and interesting. The
Myrtle finished first, crossing the line
in Is min, 81 sec. Next came the ALI
Rodgers, very close behind, crossing
four seconds later.
TUB, CUTTER AND DIVING.
There were a half dozen entries in
the tub race. It started from the Like
like wharf and finished at the Judges
stand. Seaman Yetting won, finishing
all Of ten yards ahead Of his native
competitor Yetting is from the Phil
adeIphia. The native. giving the mi
tials J. X, came in second.
/ The twelve-Oar cutter race was a
man-O'wa affair. It was between the
eDaineers' force and deck hands Of the
Philadelphia, and settled an old dispute

GOOD SPORT ENJOYED BY ALL

The sporting historian of Hawaii, if
one there be, should write that Satur-
day last was the banner regatta day in
the annals of boating in this country.
Never was there more earnest compe-
titiOn; never cleaner sport. Never was
the public better satisfied with a days
boating.
All Honolulu witnessed the races.

and numerous wagers as to the super
iority Of the teams. The deck force.
in their boat, Chips, got the best of the
race, finishing in 1855 against 1906
for their competitors
There were TWO entries for the long
distance diving contest. John Mau and
Kona Boy. The latter won. going
about 70 yards down the line before ris-
ing to the surface
There we're four entries for the
steamer boat race. This was one OF
the most exciting events OF the day.
Every native along the front took an
immense interest in it, Boats were in
from the Lehua, Mauna Loa, Mokolii
and Kaena. The Mauna LOa and Ise-
hua were the favorites. Course was
around the knuckle buoy. The boats
finished in the following order: Le-
hua, first, in 1921; Kaena. in Is: 80;
Mauna LOa, in 17:0S.
There were a half dozen entries for
the half mile swimming race Kuai-
wa was an easy victor, going over the
course in IA min, 1919 sec Chas. Gil
man was second, in 14:27.
EXCITING DINGY RACE.
The last event of the day was the
four-oar dingy. This was mixed af-
fair, as to crews. They came from var
iOus ships in port, including the Phil
adelphia. The course was around the
spar buoy. Navy men were heavy
hackers of their boat. The General
Gordon and other boats manned by

SPECIAL BUSINESS ITEMS
ART AND SCIENCE.

At the Worlds Columbia Exposi-
ton art and science was thoroughly
exemplified The greatest achieve
ments of modern times were on exhi-
bitiOn. Among the many beautiful
displays none attracted more atten-
tiOn than that made by the Singer
Sewing Machine Company. It won the
praises of all. B. Berger

merchant sailors were also well
backed With people along shore the
John A. Briggs was the fayorite, be-
cause it carried carefully selected ma
tive crew. The Hawaiians were true
to their friends, rowing over the course
in 1897. Never You-Mind was second,
time, 1916.
This ended the great days sports
Larsen's launch took the officials from
the Judges stand to the Myrtle boat
house. The Mikahala pulled back to
her wharf The crowds left the ship
ping and wharves. BY o'clock the
front had settled into it's normal condi-
ton.
NOTES.
Boatmen along the front coined
money during the day.
Many United States army and navy
officers accepted the courtesies of the
boat clubs during the day
The circuit of first class yatchts on
Saturday was twenty miles and that
of the second class yachts nine miles.
Prizes won on Saturday will be dis
tributed today through S. e. p. Taylor,
of the Regatta Committee. Expenses
of the day will be about 81 900.
G. H. Gere, of the Healani club, and
Chas. S. Crane, of the Myrtles, were
tireless in their work for the success
of the day. They deserve great credit
The Myrtle flag was at half mast
Saturday afternoon. This meant mere
Iy that defeat had been met with, and
not that determination had gone down.
The MyrtIes will be heard from again.
Before leaving the Judges stand Sat
urday the race officials gave three rous-
ing cheers for S. e. p. Taylor the in
defatigable chairman of the Regatta
Committee. Mr.. Taylor had worked
hard for weeks for the success of the
day, and deserves much of the credit
for the splendid success achieved.
The S. G. Allen passed out of the
harbor at 3 p. m. Saturday. AS she
crossed the regatta line Starter Wilson
fired a shot for her. Capt. Griffiths, in
the bark Albert, arrived during the af-
ternoOn just a little late for a position
on the official roster. He was warmly
greeted from the Judges stand as he
passed into port.

SOME MINOR EVENTS.

The diving contest was a ..job'-at
least everybody said so. Kuaiwa and
kawika went down and came up to-
gether. There was not a second differ
ence in the time, Kuaiwa staying a
fraction the longer. The time was 40
seconds, which, of course, was very
poor.
There were four entries for the shore
boat race. This was strictly harbor
event, the course being around the can
buoy off the Healani boat house. No. IS
won easily in min, l % sec. The
Minnie came next at S:07 fiat. The
other entries were the Maid Of Erin
and Butcher Boy.
The next race was the six-oar gig,
rowed by Hawaiian crews. The Kanoe-
Iani and Kapiolani were the boats in
Big Jim Kupihea was stroke for the
former. Both boats were leaking bad
~ all through the race. The Kanoe-
lani finished first in II min. 2 2-5 sec.
KapiOlani's time, 1927. The course
was around the spar buoy, the same
taken by the siX-oar barge.

RENEAR AND KIMOKEO.

Next came the great 100 yards swim
ming race. While there were several
entries it was recognized by all that
the contest was between Dan ReneaT
and Kimokeo, the two long disputed
champions of the Hawaiian Islands
The course was from Fort street wharf
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1898-09-19

in this crew: o. Sorenson, stroke; Les
lie Scott, Percy Lishman, w. Lyle,
G. . sc Angus and Sam johnson. Ar
thur Wilder was cOxswain. After sew
eral trials the boats got off at 10: AZ
O'Clock. A few powerful strokes
brought the Healanis in the lead, and
before the light house was reached they
were a length ahead. At the spar buoy
the Myrtles were two to three lengths
behind and each boat turned in its own
water. On the back pull the Myrtles
merely followed in the wake of their
stout and victorious competitors, turn
ing the lighthouse corner several sec
Onds behind.
Within about 100 yards of the finish
the HeaIanis made another of their
famous spurts. Stroke Klebahn gave
the word, the oars came down together
and the barge was almost lifted out
of the water. The oars of the stroke,
Rhodes, Renear and BOisse were liter
ally bowed under the strain. Rapidly
the stroke was increased to above a 40
gait and each was delivered with great
power. The barge flew over the water
and crossed the line at a tremendous
speed.
Time: Healanis, 1870 fat; Myrtles,
1856 fat. Difference in time, 26 sec
onds; difference in distance. nine boat
lengths
