A CARNIVAL OF COLOR SHOWN
EVERYWHERE.
Club Members are Entertaining Friends
Shipping oblige with Flags.

The decorations at the Healani Club
house are quite elaborate and in the
usual good taste. Blue is of course,
the prevailing color, relieved with
white. Down stairs in the boat room
the American flag is displayed over
numerous doorways and the national
colors are used in decorating the long
buffet over which the refreshments are
served. Streamers of many colOred
signal flags extend over the float 1t
is in the large room on the second floor
that the labor and artistic taste of the
club members has been directed and
with complete success Countless
streamers and garlands of maile ex-
tend from all SIDES of the rooms to the
electric lights over in the center of the
dancing floor. Blue and white ribbons
are gathered and festooned along the
sides and the pretty little balcony is a
mass of maile, ribbons and flags. A
very appropriate and graceful compli
ment is shown the Myrtle and Leilani
boat clubs by a display of numerous
| red and white and black and gold flags
along with the blue and white of the
hosts. The numerous cups and pictures
! of the various winning crews Of the
! Healani club are decorated with
wreaths of maile in lieu of the laurels
| which the men won in the years that
are past and gone. White carnations
are also plentifully used. Outside, the
wide porches are frightened with many
! flags and provided with chairs. These
! places were very popular during the
races as a splendid view of the various
courses was afforded by them. The la
| dies sitting room was also decorated
while the remaining room on this floor
was utilized as a refreshment booth.
The Myrtles have used their club
! color, red, to excellent advantage in
decorating their club house. Garlands
of red carnations are displayed about
! the walls and wreaths wound about
| the lamps. Male has also been used to
set off the bright cOlors But the
! strong point of the Myrtles seems to
be in the silVerware line for they have
enough cups to warrant special dis
play This idea has been well worked
out for over in one corner large table
covered with the gay cOlors of the Ha-
waiian flag is brilliant with the shining
cups and trophies There are also tro-
phies in cases which are decorated with
red flowers. The sides of the dancing
room are also hung with ribbons and
many colored flags. The wide veranda
of the club is one of the most delight
full features of the place and here
scores of chairs have been provided.
The view from the porch gives the
guest of the club the opportunity of
viewing both the course in the harbor
as well as that in the bay over Ka-
kaako Point where the home coming
and manoeuvres of the yachts as they
work for the finish can be plainly seen
Refreshments were served from the
EVA veranda. Downstairs where the
boats are kept, there was little at
tempt at decorating although bright
signal flags are displayed over the mar
bor
All the wharves Waikiki of Fort
street were crowded with people watch
ing the races. Captain Berger's bano
was on Kinau wharf, where NUMBER
of seats had been placed for the spec
tators. There were spectators on the
decks and in the rigging of all the
vessels at the wharves.
When the Kinau came in at Likellke
wharf there was a mad rush to get on
board of her and get the best places to
see the races from her decks. The ar
irving passengers had a tough time
getting ashore through the crowd.
The harbor presented a lively appear
ance at the time of the start of the
yacht races. There were dozen yachts
sailing around in a splendid breeze anc
scores of small boats. The tug Eleu
brilliantly decorated, started through
the channel to accompany the yacht;
and the Fearless, also bright with col
ors, stood near the boat houses with
a large crowd of guests on board.
The boat houses were ablaze witt
colors and their lanais were crowded
with people, like the wharves. All thu
steam and gasoline launches were out
with all the colors up that they could
fly, ard the launch from the Iroquois
with Capain Pond, Commander Merry
and number of guests, was among thu
lot.
The steamship City of Rio de Janeir'
from China and Japan, arrived off tn
harbor at about II o'clock and reached
the entrance of the channel just as th'
second class yachts were starting out
! She came in amid lively scene for tn,
entertainment of her passengers.
