THE YACHT RACE
For Hawaiian Cup and
1899 Pennant.
Yachts Bonnie Dundee and Gladys Viii ke the
Principal Contestants Next
Wednesday.

One of the most interesting aquatic
events of the year will be the yacht
| race next Wednesday for the Hawaiian
challenge cup and the pennant of 1899.
1t is open to all yachts over five and
not exceeding ten tons in measure
| ment. This limitation, however, will
not apply to yachts which were in Ha-
waiian waters and entered for the race
previous to July 4, 1899. The regular
course will be sailed, starting from
Waikiki down to Pearl Harbor and
back, finishing off the Oceanic wharf.
This makes a total of twenty-three
miles.
While the contest is open 10 all
yachts that comply with the conditions
given above, the race virtually mar
rows itself down to the Bonnie Dun
dee and the Gladys. 1t is very prob
able that these two will be the only
entries. The cup is now held by the
Bonnie Dundee, she having wen it
July 4, 1892, and held it since against
all corners. In that contest there were
four entries which, with their time,
were as follows: Bonnie Dundee,
3:34:45; Helene, 1882; Hawaii,
3:43:S; Healani, 3: 54:21.
The cup is a perpetual challenge
one. Contrary to the impression of
many people, it can never become the
property of any one person for
longer time than he or she owns the
fastest yacht in Hawaiian waters
The Gladys has been owned by T.
w. Hebron, commodore of the local
that she is just about as fast as any
of the white wings in these waters
President Dole is f1ag-owner of the
Bonnie Dundee, which has on many
occasions proved her ability as a fiier.
Hitherto there has been nothing in the
Islands that could threaten her for
first place. Now, however, she has a
foe worthy of her speed. The two
yachts have had several informal
spins and the Gladys has pretty regu-
larly finished first. 1t was claimed,
though, that the Bonnie Dundee was
foul and that the spurts were not true
tests.
Both commanders will sail the
yachts in person. They have been out
for several afternoons in order to get
the crew in good working order. Both
yachts will go on the marine railway
before the race for a final cleaning
up.
There is another element which will
add TO the interest of the race. The
Bonnie Dundee is a Fife cutter 1t
was Fife who designed the Shamrock,
which is soon to contest with the Co.
lumbia for the America cup. The
Gladys is American built. So, on a
small scale, Honolulu people will see
an international yacht race without
going to New York.

has been completed, arrangements will
be made by the United States Govern
ment for the holding of local elections

island, with view OF establishing
civil governments, thus giving an OPP

AS fast as the local authorities per-
feet their scheme of government, the
United States troops will be with
drawn The proclamation, it is said,

is to contradict the stories circulated
in the island that the United States
Government does not intend to carry
out the will of Congress and give in
dependence to the Cubans.
The proclamation will be the first
official act on the part of the Admins
fration tO give assurance To the Cuhans
that the present military form of Gov

at the War Department today. that the
proclamation could not be given out
before it was published in Cuba.

The ceremony as performed by Brother Nehr, was plain and beautiful, yet solemn and impressive. After which the tables being in readiness grooming beneath the load of good things the assemblage betook themselves thereof to their utmost joy and satisfaction The happy couple were the apprecia. tive recipients of many God speeds and good wishes from their large cir. cle of friends and acquantences.

An Important Meeting.

At meeting last night of the citi. zens who bought the Sledge lands to secure the site of the oil mill, and who had large portion of the land left or their hands, it was decided to lay the property off into lots and build houses thereon. This step is taken for the ac commodation and convenience of the skilled workmeD whom the oil mill peo pie will import for the operation oi their plant. After this business was disposed of, other citizens being pres ent, the question of the improvement of public highways was sprung, The condition of the roads leading to the city was discussed, and in order to ia. cilitate the hauling of Seed to the mil here. 1t was decided that the road. should be improved, and the following committees were appointed with whom the overseers of the respective roads may confer as to the best methods fol doing the work:

 The two involved are very popular young peeple-one, a handsome young man, the other of course, most charm ing girl.

A woman's heart is her kingdom. where love sits on the throne to dis
 pense joy and happiness throughout her entire being, and perhaps this fact
 IS largely responsible for the several nuptial functions which have occurred this week. in the face of an assertion made in the last issue of TIE TIMES to the contrary notwithstanding, to the effect that all weddings had been de- clared off owing to the present hot.as. blazes stage of the mercury. The Sage acknowledges himself in error. as it has been conyincingly demonstrated that the course of true love is not to be disturbed or hindered ty weather con- ditions but sometimes a considerate parent thwarts the desires of fond
