Boating News.

The three boat clubs-Myrtle,
Healani and Leilani are now hard
at work getting ready for the
championship and the Regatta
day races.
Last evening the Myrtles had
out thirty-four men in their va
rious boats while the Healanis
and Leilanis had out goodly
number.
An amusing story has been told
about town lately. Just two or
three days ago, three kahunas,
particularly qualified from long
practise, went down to the Hea-
lani boat house and, after throw
ing into the water, pieces of ava
root and taro tops, waved red rags
over the water and then threw
these in to float whittier the tide
and the wind might take them.
Who called on the kahunas for
help is not known, nevertheless
the Myrtle boys have ever since
felt premonition of coming evil.

AN IMPORTANT LAND DEAL
Pearl City Fruit Company Sells Out
to Oahu Sugar Company.
LeaSehOld Has One Hundred Acres Prime
Sugar Land-.The Fruit Business Was
Presently Improbable,

An important transaction wa.
completed today whereby the
lessehold of the Pearl City Fruit
Co. was transferred to the Oahu
Sugar Co.
There is proably one hundred
acres of the property than which
there is no richer sugar cane land
in the country. This is proved by
the appearance of plot of ten
acres planted in cane last year by
the Pearl City Fruit Co. 1t is
extremely luxuriant and ten tons
of sugar to the acre is the mini
mum promise. The company
finding pineapples yielding no
profit, owing to variety of cir.
cumstances, planted this patch
with view of extension to sell
the product to either Eva or
Oahu mill.
The fruit matured in splendid
condition on this land, the soil be-
ing deep and rich aud the situa-
ton sheltered. But there has
been no money in pineapples for
export. The distance from the
wharf in Honolulu, coupled with
the uncertainty in times of sailing
OF steamers, made the culling of
the fields for shipping usually
very precarious. Then, until
Congress provides otherwise I'M
der the Annexation Resolution,
plneapples are subject to duty of
one cent pound in the United
States.
Under these circumstances the
Pearl City Fruit Co. had to de-
eide, when it received an offer of
purchase from the Oahu Sugar
Co., between three things-to go
On with cane planting until all the
holding was occupied, to trust to
better fruit prospects under an
nexation and to sell out. In
he first case there was the uncer.
.ainty of profit in selling the pro.
duct with a long haul to mill.
The second question involved
loubt as to there being any i'm.
orovement In shipping facilities
or long time to come. There.
ore the last option stated, given d
price mutually satisfactory, was
he most sure thing.
The price is for the present
private matter.

Such an Enterprise Would he Neither
Polite Nor Profitable.

Fohtic NOT profitable.
j. B. Anterior was asked this
morning if there was anything in
the current surmise that with an.
nexation the Hawaiian sugar
planters are going to start local
refinery.
His reply was that there was
not the smallest particle of found
alton for any such thing. The
planters have refinery now-the
California-and believe they can
make contracts az usual with more
advantage than could he gained by
starting a refinery in Honolulu.
Sugar refining would, moreover,
be more expensive here than on
the Coast. Everything excepting
the raw sugar would have to be
imported.
1t was not deemed necessary by
the reporter to further prosecute
inquiries on the subject.

story Told of Private Gregory. Ono OF

A go"" story ia told on Private
Gregory of one of the cavalry
companies on the transport Peru.
Gregory is a great, strappipg fell
low, and one can readily believe
the story by look at him.
1t seems that while he was in
San francisco he was riding about
the streets on bis own cavalry
horse that is now on the way to
Manila on the Tacoma. A boy of
about sixteen summers, an expert
on the wheel rode up quickly,
grabbed the reins and darted off
again in another direction.
The horse had been trained to
start off on a jump aud in few
seconds Gregory was alongside the
fresh lad, whom he j~rked off the
saddle and carried up over the
horses neck. He spanked the BIZ
cyclist soundly in the presence of
a large number of people and then
dropped him to the ground again.
Several little newsboys ran up
and cried out: go home and tell
your mamma, Spud."
