REGATTA DAY.

Fair Races - Fair Weather Fair
Girls the Program of the Dav.
1t was jolly day indeed and the
great Regatta had never been at.
tended by such a happy crowd
which witnessed the races, from the
wharves, the boat houses, the yachts
and boats, since the days of Kala-
kaua.
The yacht races were beautiful,
and the strong breeze showed that
Hawaii can win if her skipper ever
makes an attempt.
The swamping OF the six-oared
boats in the Myrtle-Healani race
caused much laughter, but for
tunstely the crews and boats came
home alright.
The swimming race was very in-
teresting and the Snatch" between
Alec. Robertson and Dan Logan
was fine. Both gentlemen have race
for legislative honors, but while A..
@. NJ. r. was elected, Dan was
dumped. Different conditions pre-.
vail now and Dan pulled to beat
when he saw Robertson taking the
lead towards the goal where the
stake holder with q "quart" purse
was located.
The races were marked by the
order and decorum preserved dur
ing the day, and the ladies in the
boat houses thoroughly enjoyed the
sports of the day. 1t is unnecessary
to state that the judges acted 10 a
fair and impartial manner, that the
timekeepers did their duties to the
satisfaction of all, that Wilson was
as usual the "only" starter, that the
band played lovely, and that the
refreshments from the "Green
River" and Scotland were served in
abundance.
Good nature and genuine sportive
bonhommie prevailed at theRegatts,
and even tho losers had no kick
coming.
The Rowing Races.
AS reported in Saturdays INDE-
PENDENT the first race, Which it was
anticipated would bs the grand
event of tho day, resulted in Daddy
Neptune overturning both Of the
six. barges OF the Healanis and
Myrtles, and the rescue Of their
crews by Commodore Beckley Of the
Kinau and the tug Eleu.
