Yachts Getting Into Trim.
| 1t is now an everyday sight to see
the yacht fleet sailing around the har-
Dor and out and around the outer chan
4 mel buoy Trial speeds, embryo races
and all manner or methods of develop
ing the strongest points in each of the
yachts, are the main features. This
week will witness hard training on the
part of the shell, barge and gig crews
which are to participate in the Regatta
Day exercises. The various crews are
out every evening and the quick, ner-
vous promptings of the coxswains are
heard at every side of the harbor.
Coach Klebahn is keeping careful eye
on the Healani crews. The Hawaiian
crew which is to race in the Kapiolani
gig were taken in hand last Saturday
by Klebahn and put through course
of sprouts that they will remember.
Honolulu's Tonnage Tax Receipts.
Tonnage tax receipts in the United
States during the last fiscal year
amounted to 5000, 139, the largest annual
total since the change of the law in
1884. The tax rates, however, are low
er than those in the principal British
and German seaports. American yes
sells paid only $67, 704 in tonnage taxes,
the numer engaged in foreign trade be-
ing very small. British vessels paid
s559,357, steam vessels paid $755, 1871, sail
vessels paid s146,S57, and 1921 were col
lected as penal taxes. At Honolulu
$22 100 We're collected, an amount about
equivalent to the total increase over
the previous fiscal year
Clear Harbor on Regatta Day.
The chances are good that the har-
Dor will be fairly empty of vessels on
Regatta Day. A number will get away
this week and there are few vessels
due to take their places. This will
give the committees more freedom in
the Naval Row section of the harbor.
