SHOULD BE ENCOURAGED.

The annual boat races are coming on
and the crews are practicing in such
shape that there is every promise of fine
sport when the struggle comes. The Ha-
waiian oarsmen are by no means be-
hind the rest of the world, either in
style or in endurance. They have had
the opportunity of being trained by men
who have won laurels on the classic
waters of the Eastern States and in Eu-
rope. Some of our young ones have
gone away from here and have won
honors for the local clubs.
There is nothing that the town can
better afford to do than to support its
various athletic associations. Men who
are good athletes have to live cleanly,
and clean living is the life of a race
Sport as it is now conducted here, is
elevating and healthy. The idea of
thoroughly elevated amateur sport is
carried out. We had to pass through a
transition time, in sport, as in every
thing else but the amateur athletic
sports are now on a plane which is "A
credit to the city.
1t has taken the boat clubs a long
time to reach the position that they

aquatic sports, and a regatta was al

NEW LIFE BOAT DEVICE
Machine for Lowering Suc-
cessfuIly Tested in
This City.

In the presence of representatives of the
Construction Department of the United
States Navy and of the American, North
German Lloyd, Cunard, White Star. Old
Dominion and Hamburg-American lines
Of ocean steamships. There was yester-
day exhibited lii action d patented device
for lowering lifeboats at the pier between
Piers a and B of the Pennsylvania Raif-
road.
This invention comprises a combination
Of a winch, gears and Worm screw at
tached to the davits for applying power
from the boat by chains and suitable
sprockets so operated that the motion Of
each dayit is automatic and independently
controlled.
In the operation Of the device both
davits move to the left to such a position
that the end of the lifeboat Is clear OF
the right hand davit as one looks aboard
The left davit stops at this point. but
the right continues to move to a position
SO tina the right end of the Iifeboat is
passed cupboard and beyond the right
hand davft. Then the left hand davit
again moves, the right davit continuing
also to move TIL both davits reach a POI
sition so that the lifeboat Is swung be-
tween them and cupboard. the davits be-
ing at an acute angle to the side of the
vessel. The right davit stops at this
point, and the left continues to move to
a position parallel with the right when
both davits move In unison and come to
a rest in the outward board position OF
at right angles to the side of the yes
sci.
These movements are designed to re-
lieve the tackles of strain and carry the
boat cupboard clear Of the davits, pre-
vent am jamming Of the boat against
either davit. and lower the boat away as
rapidly or slowly as desired.
Equipped with the device a boat was
swung over the pier. which the inventor
and several men entered. When all was
ready the inventor pulled the chain which
works the DEVICE, and in eighty-two sec
onds the boat was safely in the water.
The machine used was intended for a
boat weighing fifteen hundred pounds,
whereas the one used yesterday weighed
five hundred.
Shakiness of the timbers Of the wharf
to which the machine was attached in
t~erfered somewhat with the perfect work.

Representatives of the various steam
ship lines present expressed their salts

# was announced yesterday that the
steamship New York of the American
line Will be equipped with the devices
when she returns to this port.

FLAG POLES COST.
Dewey Committee Finds i
Must Be Less Ambi-
tious.

The Dewey Flag Pole Committee Of
Greenvi1le held an enthusiastic meeting
last evening at Columbia Hall, Ocean and
Gator avenues. President B. L. Stowe
presided. The Pole Committee presented
| several estimates of the cost of the pole
1t was the original intention of the com
| mittee to purchase a pole at least one
hundred and fifty feet long, but according
to estimates received a pole Of that
length will cost considerably more than
the committee expected. The firm esti-
mated that a pole one hundred and sixty
three feet long. in two sections. the bot
tom section to measure ninety-three feet,
and the top section sixty feet, would cost
$3.50. The actual cost of transportation
and erection would be $l75, making a
total Of $50. Poles Of that size are rare.
An estimate favorably received by the
committee was for a pole one hundred
and fifty-five feet long, Of white pine to
cost s275. The cost for transportation and
erection would make the total $3.50. The
estimates were tabled until the next
meeting in order to allow the committee
to make further Inquiries.
The Flag Committee will not be able TO
act until the pole question is settled,
which will probably be at the next meet
ing.
Alderman William e. Ritter and ex-
Alderman Edward Fry were appointed as
a committee to confer with the street
and Water Commissioners about the az
lotment Of a section Of the park q
which to erect the pole. They viii aiso
request the Commissioners to make
necessary repairs to the park Walks
which are at present In very pad cehoi-
ton.
The members present reported en-
couragingly In relation to subscriptions
About $500 has been collected and no din
Guilty is expected in raising 5000, which IS
the amount deemed necessary to purchase
a nag and pole. The secretary was IN
strueted TO notify all members to present
reports at the next meeting, showing the
total amount of their respective coliec-
tons. II was decided that the flag will
BE hoisted when Admiral Dewey enters
the harbor. but the celebration will not
be held until several days later, 50 as to
avoid conflicting with the New York eele-
bration.
II was suggested that Governor Roose-
velt ba requested to deliver an address az
the celebration. a number OF prominent
men Of both parties Will be invited 10 de-
liver patriotic addresses Mayor Hoos
will probably make the opening speech.
Director of the Board of Education
George Witt has agreed to arrange for
the participation of a number Of school
children in the celebration. They Will
sing patriotic songs.
The committee is working industrionsly
to make the project a success and Is re
ceiving excellent supper from the
patriotic residents of Greenvllle.
