the ) o'clock train and returning in
the morning. This gives opportunity
for a good long spin in the cool of the
evening and a shorter one soon after

lieves in plenty of hard work for his
crew and a thorough acquaintance
with the waters they are to row IN.

THE HEALANI CREW.
Our crews will not go down 10
. Pearl City until after the first of the
month";" said George II. Carter, the
captain of the Healanis' yesterday.
I'VE labor under the disadvantage of
several men not being able to get
away from business. One of our semi
r ors for instance has to work at night.
However, we are doing the best we
can and are not saying much. We
l had hoped that the Myrtles would
put off going to Pearl Harbor until
about ten days before the races, so
that we would all be on an even foot
ing as regards training on the spot.
