TROUBLE IN THE CAMP
OF THE HEALANI CLUB
Coach Klebahn Bars a Man From the
Senior Crew and Makes
Trouble.

News from the Myrtle headquarters at
Pearl Harbor is very encouraging to the
Importers of the crimson and white ban
ner. The men are all reported to be get
ting into shape rapidly and to be enjoying
the best of health.
Mr.. James r. Judd, graduate of Yale
class 81 is coaching the Myrtles at the
Peninsula.
The crews are both rowing more evenly
than before and are showing satisfactory
res ults of their training.
There is trouble in the Healani camp
Williams, an oarsman of repute, is want
| ed in the Senior boat by the Captain and
his fellow oarsmen. Coach" Klebahn, on
account, it is claimed, of a personal griev-
arce of long standing against Williams,
will not countenance his admission to the
Senior crew. The club remains staunch
to Williams, and according to the latest
accounts Klebahn will go.
| The Healanis are making excellent prog
ress In their training, their starting hav-
| ng considerably improved during the past
week.
The Leilanis have at last got down to
steady practicing, but yet it would be
unkind to comment on their form. They
have plenty of time.

The two police rife teams will shoot
their first match this morning at the Iwi-

that they have a sure thing on hand and
drank their beer in advance last night.
The second team say that they know
they're soft marks. but add that they've
seen that kind missed on occasions.
In practices this week the second team
scored as high as 353 and 315.
The general opinion appears to be that

gainst their opponents 375.
The teams are as follows:

Name

Mozart, being once on a visit at Mar
Torrance of his "Villanella Rapita."
He had reason to be tolerably well SAT-
isfied, till, In the midst OF the principal
aria. the orchestra, through some error
in the copying of the score, sounded
D-naturai where the composer had
written D-sharp. The substitution did
not injure the harmony, but gave
commonplace character to the phrase
and obscured the sentiment of the COM
poser. Mozart no sooner heard it than
he started up vehemently. and, from
the middle Of the pit, cried out in q
voice of thunder: will you play D.
sharp, you wretches?" The sensation
produced in the theatre may be imagin-
ed. The actors were astounded. the
lady who was singing stopped short,
the orchestra followed her example.
and the audience. with loud exclama--
tons, demanded the expulsion of the
offender. He was accordingly seized,
and required to name himself. He did
so. and at the name of Mozart the
clamor subsidized. and was succeeded
by shouts Of applause from all Sides
1t was insisted that the opera should be
recommended. Mozart was installed
in the orchestra. and directed the whole
performance. This time the D-sharp
was played in its proper place, and the
musicians themselves were surprises
at the superior effect produced. After
the opera Mozart was conducted in
triumph to his hotel.

SUGGESTED CUP FOR
THE SMALLER YACHTS
loerin a. Thurston Favon Diifuen-
iation Between Large And
Small Boats.

Editor Advertiser. Referring to the
challenge Of The owners Of the yacht Myr-
tie TO r. w. Hebron to race the Myrtle
Ter ge Cup. there does not seem to be any
possibility Of questioning the fact that
the donors Of the cup imposed conditions
which absolutely prohibit the Myrtle or
any other yacht under i've tons In size
from competing therefor.
From the published correspondence, the
owners Of the Myrtle appear 10 think that
they have n grievance against Mr.. Ho-
bfon for not waving the condition. and
also TO think that there II no reason, "
they are willing TO give the time allowance
which would have TO be given by ave-
ton yacht. why they should be barred
from competing.
~ IL probable that the owners Of the
which the cup was donated. My distinct
rec ollection OF the reason for tho donation
OF the cup H. as follows:
| For n number Of years prior to the do
nation OF the cup there had been a num-
Der OF small sailing yachts IN Honolulu.
but. with the exception OF the Healani,
owned by King kalakaua, there were no
racing yachts over about FIVE tons In size
az that time. 10 was desired 10 secure the
building OF yachts OF larger type, and
In order TO encourage this type OF boat,
this expensive cup was provided. As the
immediate consequence of this decision,
the Hawaii was built In Honolulu and the
Helene and Spray were brought to Homo
lulu from san Francisco. However valu-
able and interesting the smaller type OF
yacht may be, "a seems 10 me sound policy
to differentiate between the yachts Of the
larger and smaller type
The small. ''one-man' yachts Of the
Myrtle class have come into much favor
recently. and deservedly 40, although
they do not at all cover the uses to which
a larger yacht can be put, as the latter
can be used for cruising, with sleeping
and camping accommodations on board
which the smaller yachts cannot furnish
I think ~ would be n good thing fol
sport n challenge cup could he provided
for tho smaller boats of sthe yachting
fleet. TO be held under the same perpetual
conditions as now attach TO the Hawaii
an Challenge Cup, and hope that such
trophy can be provided.
