Wafkover For the Dewey.
In the second class race there was
but one starter. the Dewey. She went
over the same course as the FIRST class
boats and Il took her about six hours
and twenty minutes Last year over
the same course the Dewey made the
distance in three hours and fifty min
utes. The first prize in this race is
forty-dollar trophy.
Myrtle Won Third Class.
in the third class race one Of the
prettiest starts ever seen in these wa
tiers took place. The boats we're all
punched on the line and as the gun
sounded they squared away for the
Spar buoy As usual the little Myr-
tie was the first over the line. she
was followed In the order named with
q few seconds intervening by the
Shamrock III. Hihimanu. yi-ke. oio
and Skip Most OF the small boats
used their spinakers on the run out the
channel as there was but little wind
and that favorable. AT the Spar they
all punched in calm as the first class
boats had The good critters began to
pull away from the others and soon

were having Il together. leaving the
could. With the variable wind encoun-
tered the work TO the Waikiki turn
was slow. but the Pirate kept gaining
on the others until she was within ,
short distance of the stake when her
rudder stock gave way and she had to
drop out of the race This left the
Myrtle. Shamrock III and Oio to bat
tie. The Myrtle was the first around
The next boat to make the turn was
the Vi-ke followed by the Hihlmanu
and Skip. which latter boat on &C
count of the light wind was entirely
outclassed. Soon after rounding the
stakeboat and while she was setting
her spinaker the Hihimanu's rudder
gave way and an attempt was made to
steer her with an car. This did not
prove successful. however, so she also
dropped out OF the race The Myrtle.
Shamrock. Vi-ke and DO were about
a mile ahead of the Skip at this stage
of the game but as the wind freshened
she gained on them and for a long
time while the wind held good with
her she continued running down to
the Quarantine stakebc at the rest OF
the bunch becalmed at the turn.
Caught in ! Shower.
The trip TO the Bell buoy was long
one. The wind died down entirely and
a heavy shower OF rain drenehed the
yachtsmen and made things very
sloppy aboard the boats. Between
the Quarantine turn and the Bell buoy
the Myrtle gained a long lead on the
others. which gave her the race. II is
claimed by those who were near her
that her crew sculled her almost to
the Bell by the use Of the Fudder. AS
a result protest was lodged with the
judges but disallowed as they said
they could find no rule in the book TO
prohibit a man from sailing his boat
with the rudder IL he saw At. The pro-
testRnts explained TO the judges that
the race was a sailing race and not g
sculling match. but it was no go and
the Myrtle was awarded the event as
she got over the line first Following
by a minute and a half came the Oio
