repetition of that of the seniors, ex-
cept that the results were more en-
phasized, and the applause accordingly
more hilarious and deriding.
Immediately after the finish of the
last race the majority of the crowd
fastened back over the red dust to
the train, a few remaining with large
luncheon baskets to picnic the day out.
There were afternoon festivities
planned for the devotees. both the blue
and white and the scarlet aud white.
and luncheon at home was the objec-
tive point. Upon the arrival of the
train at the depot in Honolulu there
was another burst of cheers, and as
the crowd dispersed its attention was
directed 10 a proud procession OF Hea-
Ianis carrying brooms procured frorl
a Chinese store nearby; the Healanl
colors were attached to the brooms.
and the shouldering of these harmless
household weapons was meant as a
subtle indication TO the uniformed
that the Healanis had won.

The Healani floor was in excellent
condition for dancing and decorations

a festive appearance to the hall and
lanais. The dancers and onlookers her
aided their choice of clubs in variety
of details in dress. but the devotees of
the rival clubs mingled together in
merriment and good nature without
thought of rivalry.
Early in the afternoon the expert
swimmers and divers of both clubs gave
exhibitions Of their respective accom-
p,ishlnents for the entertainment of the
assembled guests.
Dan Renear, ting pride OF the Healani
boys, did one of his marvellous double

SCOTS AT MOANALUA.

An hundred bFSe and hardy Scots and
their lassies celebrated yesterday in
| true, o1d-tirne Scottish highland fash
ion at Moanalua, the country seat OF
Hon. s. NJ. Damon. The dances of the
Scots were INDUCED in with athletic
skill, tugs of war were fought on the
grassy slopes of the picnic ground, and
the Piper in full Highland costume was
there to cheer the lads and lassies and
give them a thought of the old heather
covered hills of the land OF their birth.
About 8 o'clock five wagonettes left
the Opera House for Moanalua. On
rhe road they were joined by private
carriages until more than a hundred
were gathered. The picnic grounds
were in a small valley just below the
rolo amphitheater. A dancing pavilion
hal already been erected by Mr.. Damon
and other conveniences were at hand,
due to the forethought of the proprietor
OF the estate.

three-auarter post was reached the
Heafanis We're pulling a S6stroke, the
boat forging ahead under the impetus.
When the post was passed they were
about eight lengths in the lead of the
Myrtles, who We're unable to increase
| their stroke beyond thirty-two. Ar
the mile post the Myrtles were rowing
heavily, and evidently laboring under
the strain. The stroke worked me-
chemically. the rest of the crew keep
ing pace with him. Once or twice a
blade skinned the water, and the reg
tuIar motion was lost. Once they squirt
I ed, only to fall off in ragged manner
again. The Healani boys never slow
! ed up for an instant, intent only on
pulling past the finishing post III good
form. This they succeeded in doing in
an admirable manner. The crowd on
shore went wild with excitement, and
as the shell was rowed over TO the
wharf of the blues, the enthusiasts
rushed down and took them into the
boathouse in triumph. The Myrtle
stroke was played out, and leaned over
for some time endeavoring to recuper-
ate from the heavy strain. The de-
feated crew was cheered by the spec
tatorS, as it was a crew which had
entered the race with practically no
training. 1t was brought together but
a few days ago to take the place of the
Junior crew, which had been compelled
to replace the senior crew, which had
retired from the race.
The official finishing time for the
junior race is as follows:

The judges, starters and officials OF
the course. together with the press

were able TO partake, although the NAL

polling the shell down TO the starting
point.
Five minutes later the Healanis'
handsome new shell was dropped
into the water to enter its first race.
The shell glistened in the morning sun
light, and it's appearance made an i'm
preston upon the beholders. Its crew,
consisting of Paul Jarret, stroke; Dan

to the starting post, reserving their
strength for the trial of speed in the
race.
