THE POLO MATCH FOR TOMOR.
ROW UNCERTAIN.
Field Kept for New Year Game-Yacht
club Doings-Next Regatta Slated for
January.

The polo match, according to the reg
ular schedule of the association should
take place tomorrow between the Busi-
ness Men and the Hornets with the reg
ular teams. 1t Is somewhat doubtful
at present whether the match will come
off or be substituted for a practice
game.
1t was raining this morning at Ka-
piOlani park and Lieutenant Hancock
will report later in the day as to the
condition of the ground. The aSsOcia-
ton desires to keep ii in as good shape
as possible for the Myrtle benefit game
on New Years Day between the Reds
and Blues" and should the ground be
too soft this afternoon will not run the
risk of cutting it up by playing on it.
All members are particularly re-
quested to be present at the Yacht Club
meeting on Monday evening at the Of
fiCCe of p. l.. Weaver secretary Of
the Hawaii Yacht club, when special
matters of interest relative to the new
club site will be discussed. 1t is not
probable that the club will erect the
new building right away until the rail-
road runs to PuulOa, but will content
themselves for the present with pur-
chasing the land and making altera-
tions in the buildings already upon it
sufficient to make them habitable and
l'useful for future regattas.
next regatta of the Yacht club will be
held on the first full moon of the New
Year The planet is at the full on
! Thursday the 23rd which would make
the date Saturday the 25th. The pres
ent southerly winds have put stop
to yachting temporarily. The Gladys
went down to Pearl HarbOr last sun
day and took three hours to beat down
to Puuloa, a run she usually make with
in the hour. Other yachts were not so
fortunate and one had to stay outside
the lOchs until morning.
Clarence Macfarlane's La Paloma has
! had all the sticks taken out of her at
Pearl Harbor preparatory to refittng
her with a yawl rig. The fOremast will
be restepped in relatively the same po-
sitiOn but will be placed perpendicular
| y. The jigger mast will be way aft
close TO the taffrail. A new boom win
| have to be made, the old one belonging
! to the mainsail not being strong enough
| to carry the yawl sail. Formerly in a
| stiff breeze the boom had not sufficient
rigidity and could be distinctly seen
| bending wherever the wind pressure
| on the sail was strongest. The sticks
| were hoisted out at Pearl Harbor with
a spar derrick and considerably tighten
ed the yacht lifting her several inches
lOut of the water. when the weeds are
| trimmed off her bottom she will prob
ably rise still higher. Her bottom is
very foul and a lawn mover could be
| used to advantage.
The yacht club has great plans ahead
for a big regatta in the near future
when many new and int eresting fea-
lures will be introduced. These have
been outlined but are being vigorously
, guarded as secrets. The bylaws are
| being printed and bound and bOOK!et [
| is to be issued with the names of the
members, general Information and er-
cravings of all the boats belonging TO
the club. These will be grouped to-
gether in classes and will form a vd!u-
able and interesting record in years tO
come. 1t is at present Props i 10
