PROGRAM COMPLETED BY THE
COMMITTEE. E"
Healanis and Myrtles and All the Fast
Yachts are In-Plenty of Cash for the
Days Prizes.

Tomorrow, Regatta Day of 1899, will
be a holiday all over the country. In
town business generally will be sus-
pended until o'clock. All large houses
will remain closed altogether The
banks will not open at all and all gov
ernment bureaus will take an entire
day off.
The courses in the various events
have been arranged by the Regatta
Committee. They are the same, as
nearly as possible, as last year. The
stake boat will be anchored off Wal
kiki this afternoon for the three yacht
races. All starts will be made from
the judges stand opposite the 1, l. S. N.
wharf.
1t is now almost certain that Pacific
Mail wharf will be clear of ships to-
morrow, in which case provision will
there be made for thousand or more
people. From this vantage the races
may be seen perhaps better than from
any other. The band will play all day
under the wharf shed.

clubs VIII keep open house to members
and their friends. At a meeting of the
Myrtle Boat Club held last evening the
following committee on reception was

coming from salaried individuals.
