WATER FRONT WILL STEAM
HEALANIS ANNOUNCE A SMOKER
FOR TONIGHT.
There will Be a Good Time For
verybody-Special Races For The
Afternoon.

Steam will be rising from the water
front tonight. The Healanis have an
nounced smoker for then and the hot
| test time on the Front will be enjoyed
by those who have been invited to at
tend the event. The boys call it a
smoker and as everybody expects to
"smoke up here will be a feast of wit
and flow of soul.
There have been other smokers held
during the history of the Healani club
| but none will equal in elaborate charac-
ter the event which occurs tonight. The
main idea is to bring the members of
the club closer together and promote
deep and genuine feeling of fraternal
sentiment. More interest is being taken
in rowing at the present time than usu-
al and the club managers have decided
to hold the smoker when everybody is
in the right humor. The match will not
be applied to the smoker until O'Clock
this evening.
AS a prelude to this social feature
there will be an athletic feature in
which three crack, coming, champion
crews will race for glory and anything
else which may suggest itself to the
minds of the boys. The first crew call
ed the Stingerees, has been trained
coached and captained by Paul Jarrett
1t is composed of Pat Gleason, stroke,
Tom Treadway, No. 3; w. Stone, No. 2,
and G.. Wright, bow. Probably the
darkest horse of the stable of sable
chargers is the Hot Airs, who have been
under the guidance of Dan Renear.
This crew is composed of T. Lloyd,
stroke, Frank Woodbridge, No. 3; Fred
West, No. 2, and George Ward, bow.
This is the heavy weight crew of the
bunch the average being 10 pounds. In
order to keep the weight down to the
maximum Woodbridge was put in to
lower the average and as he weighs
but 80 pounds in his racing suit the
average was kept within the limit
The Four Flushers is captained by
James Lloyd. Stroke is Wall Scott, No.
g. Harry Murray, No. 2, Ralph Yardley,
bow, Fred. Lowell. OF this crew the
heaviest is Yardley who weighs 205
pounds while the lightest is Lowell who
tips the beam at 101 pounds. Last night
the Hot Airs made such a sudden and
unexpected squirt that the Four Flush
ers became some what discouraged.
Lowell could strike nothing but crabs
while Yardley experienced a sudden at
tack, of feetitum congealitum, and de-
clared that his wind was bad. Yardley
has had considerable trouble catching
stroke with the rest of the crew and has
had to go into the sweat box for the
last three days to reduce weight. The
crew declare that he will have to re-
main with them however and help them
to either victory or defeat.
The course will be from the head of
the channel to a line between the Hea-
lani Club House and the light house, a
distance of three quarters of mile. The
races are open to all and every body is
invited to witness them.
The program for the smoker is one
of the best of the kind which has been
offered in a long time. The talent is
too extensive and varied to attempt
enumeration. The only thing which can
be said for them is that they will make
the stars of Hogan's Honolulu winners
look like mud horses packing weight
for age on hard track
