In 1880. after the disorganization q,
the Honolulu Yacht and Boat club
some OF the members of the old ciuL
wished to- form n yacht club which
should have its headquarters at Pearl
River. Accordingly arrangements were
entered into with the Oahu Railroad
a Land Co. whereby the old boat house
was handed over to the railroad com
pany in return for n picce Of land a,
Pearl Harbor and 10000 feet of lumber
with which to build n club house on
thc land.
At that time the following members
OF the old club made over their inter
csts in the property of the club Iin-
Guiding the land. lumber and n hal
ance OF cash on handb to the proposed
new yacht club:

property.
The site for the proposed club house
was selected by a committee. the land
fenced. Mr. W. q. Irwin appointed trrs-
tee. and then. from combination uf
circumstances the matter was allowed
20 drop out of sight.
The plan did not die however: q
merely slept. and now. after "a good
rest at nearly ten years. u is felt tha.
IL is about time for Il to- blossom forth
in renewed life and vigur.
The increased demand for harbor
room in Honolulu is fast crowding ont
