TWO DAYS OF RACING AND OTHER
AQUATIC SPORTS.
Will Be no Delays with Events at Pearl
City-Big Programme For Honolulu
Regatta Day.

More than usual interest is being
| taken in the coming boat races at Pearl
| City on September 8 and the regatta at
Honolulu September Is. The indications
are that not only will the events be
| more hotly contested than in previous
years but the public will attend the
various races in larger number.
| The Healani Myrtle and Leilani Clubs
are training crews for the various
events and the personnel of nearly all
the crews has been determined. Ac-
! cOrding to the programme for the first
| days events which occur at Pearl City
| harbOr, the senior shell and junior shell
will be the principal races. The va
/ rious crews are training hard and an
exciting race in each instance is anti
cipated. The Myrtles are confident
| that they will retain the cups while the
Healani crews propose to put forth a
| special effort to wrest the trophies from
| the present holders.
| Special arrangements have been made
with the railroad people to accommodate
| the crowds and 1t is expected that a
! big special will have to be run to Pearl
! City the afternoon of the races. The
crews will go down on the 1870 train in
| the afternoon and it is intended to send
| the Judges on the same train, if posSi-
| BILE. At the last race the judges failed
! to arrive on time and considerable delay
| in the races resulted. This year a spe-
cial effort is being made by the regatta
| committee to have the races held
promptly. Another cause for delay III
| the past has been that the crews used
! the same boat. This year each team
will have its own boat so that the senior
race will be started fifteen minutes after
/ the juniors have finished.
The following are the crews of the
Healani Club as at present planned
! senior shell, bow, John Waterhouse,
second, Paul Jarret, third Dan Renear,
/ stroke, Fred Damon. Junior shell, bow,
! G. Boisse; stroke, w. Williams.
The judges for the Pearl City races
! have not been definitely determined up
| on but the following will probably serve
! Captain {. j. Campbell and Harry
! Whitney One other judge will be
selected by the regatta committee.
In Honolulu on Saturday September
Is the big event will be held for the pro-
gramme will be an all day affair and
consist of every description If craft
possible. There will be barge races for
senior and freshmen crews but the most
exciting will probably be the yacht race
between the Bonnie Dundee aput the
Eva over a triangular course from the
boat house to Diamond Head. to Pear
harbor and return. Considerable interest
is being taken in the race for the second
raters as Prince David's new yacht will
be completed in time to compete. She
is laid along similar lines to the Myrt'c
and it is understood has been ordered
for the purpose of beating that crack
little sailor. On the programme will be
races for sailing and padding canoes
whale boats, sugar boats and If there
are any warships in port on that date
a special prize will be offered far barge
crews from them. There will also De
swimming, diving contests and YarlolS
aquatic sports. The first event viii
he started about 10 o'clock in ;he morn
ing.
There was a rumor about town yes
terday that the Myrtles had protested
against a certain member of the Hea
lani junior crew. This, is entirely with
out foundation. Captain Harris never
heard nor knows of the existence OF
= such a protest.
A novice race is now under conside
ration. Both the Healanis and Myrtle
are in favor of such an event. 1t VII
give other material in the clubs
chance to develop their ability. In cas-
, these efforts should be successful tn
, novice race will be the first event ol
, the program on September Sth. 1t vii
. be six cared barge race.
