YACHT RESULTS.
When The Star went to press yes
terday afternoon the first class yachts
were still out. A telephone message
from Waimanalo stated that the Bon
ME Dundee was four miles ahead. This
was a mistake, for the Eva (the old
Gladys) led from Diamond Head to
Rabbit Isl1nd and home again. The
boats stood so far out at Waimanalo
that the mistake is easily accounted
for.
In leaving, the Bonnie and Eva had
a meek and neck race to Diamond
Head. On turning the point and
catching the channel breeze, however,
the Eva began to show her heels to
the Bonnie The distance between
them steadily widened until Rabbit
Island was reached. On the return
trip the Bonnie closed up some of the
gap and was at the bell buoy when
her competitor crossed the line in
port. L ne Id dlOllldi blNl llOl san lllC
course. Beyond Koko Head she met
the other boats coming back. 1t was
useless to continue, so she turned
about and returned to port The diff
ference in time between the Bonnie
and Eva was twenty mine minutes.
In the other yachting events the
following were the winners: Second
class, Hawaii; third class, Myrtle;
fourth class, Polkii. The Leowa, which
leaked so badly, is still under water
and will have to be extensively re-
paired.
The new method of starting the yacht
races was employed yesterday. This is
the method in vogue in America. 1t is
the method used in the races for the
America cup. Five minutes before the
starting time a signal is given, pistol
is fired or some other suitable method
is employed. The yachts then man
starting FIVE minutes after the prelimi-
nary signal another signal is given.
The start is from this signal, no matter
where the yachts are except that If they
have crossed the starting line they
must go back of it and start again.
This maneuvering is a test of seaman
ship.
All of the four measly floats in the
parade will be given prizes.
DANCE LAST NIGHT.
The dance at the Myrtle Boat club
last evening was a great social sue
| cess, although, on account of the
threatening weather, the party was
not as large as had been anticipated.
About forty-five couples were present
There was good music, plenty of re-
freshments and an excellent dance
| program.
