The Fearless went after the vessel
and brought her into the harbor this
morning. The extent of the leak of the
vessel has not yet been determined.
There is now from eight TO ten feet of
water in her hold but this is not rr-

Diver Herbert Young went below

PENNANTs AND CUPS GIVEN THIS
EVENING

An members entitled 20 trophies in
the Hawaii Yacht club regatta are re-
quested 10 be present this evening at
the meeting to be- held at =. J.. Weaver
Jr.'s office, when important matters
will be discussed.
The pennants won by the class and
other races viii be distributed TO the
owners OF the boats and the cup, pre-
sented for the handicap race home by
Commodore T. W. Hebron. will also
be given To the Myrtle which made the
race back IN one hour and fOrty-One
minutes, corrected time, with the Ni-ke
one minute behind and the Gladys
coming i'm third, two minutes behind
the second boat. having started at
scratch twenty minutes behind the
leaders, covering the course from Pun
loa To the Spar buoy in two hours and
one minute.
The boats receiving winning pennants
are as follows. on the run down, by
classes Glass 2 Marion, Glass 3. Oio.
Glass 4, Clytie. In class l Gladys had
no contestant and did not follow the
course. Race around FOrd's Island
course. Glass J. Gladys: Class 2, Ha-
wall. Glass 3. Myrtle: Glass 4. Clytie.
The Myrtle thus secures two pen
nants and the cup, the Clytie two pen
nants and the Oio, Gladys, Hawaii and
Marion one apiece. The pennants, as
the cup. will follow Eastern regulations
and belong to the boat and not neces-
sarily the men who sailed her
This restriction while II may be dis
appointing to the yachtsmen will on
second thought be found to be the only
fair decision, il being manifestly wrong
for men winning pennants in a boat,
leaned to them or by them from an
other man, to afterwards fly those PEN
nants on another craft in perhaps other
waters. when IL was the boat itself

rating and not the men that sailed her.
The other matters that will be taken
up at the meeting will be the selling
of stock sufficient to purchase the land
Immediately and make what improve
ments may be deemed necessary.
4 suggestion will be strongly intro
duced and probably carried that no at
tempt be made to build a club house
for six months but that the present
building be repaired and a lanai add
ed Commodore Hebron and others
feel that the present time is not the
best to raise funds for the purpose of
building extensively and that any
amount that might be realized now and
put into a building would possibly be
to an extent wasted, as later the mem
bers might feel inclined to build more
elaboratelv. These sentiments viii
probably meet public approval
The commodore has presented the
club with a 95-foot flagpole now lying
on the water front in readiness FOR

one. straight and sturdy and strong

MUSEUM GETS WHALE.
LEvIATHAN MONSTER COMES on
GEORGE CURTIS.
is Being Unloaded at the Irmgard
wharf-Occupies About p Crates and
Cost over $4,000

The big sperm whale which the
Bishop Museum ordered in 1899. has ar
rived on the ship George Curtis and is
being discharged at the Irmgard wharf.
As big as whale" is certainly eX-
amplifed in the present case, for al
though practically little more than the
skeleton of the monster is being re-
ceved the consignment of whale con-
ssts of % crates. 1t measures 100 cubic
tons although the actual weight is
about 20 tons The crates are the most
curious looking objects that have been
landed here in a long time They are
all sorts of shapes and sizes and the
water front people have been passing
their spare time this morning trying to
put the parts to"ether in their minds.
The cost of the whale was $500 but
by the time that the freight bill will
have been settled the Bishop people will
wish that they had hired a navigator
and made the whale swim to Honolulu
The freight bill will reach about $2j0O
more. The whale came from Ward s
Natural Science establishment at Roch-
ester, n. Y. There were no especially
romantic or interesting features con-
nected with the taking of the animal,
and so far as now known, he is simply a
plain ordinary sperm whale.
Professor Brigham will mount the
animal. 1t is intended to suspend the
whale from the ceiling of the new an
mex to the Museum. On one side the
skeleton will be shown while on the
other, the bones will be covered with
paper mache to resemble a whales
body. This will be the first specimen of
the sperm whale tribe exhibited here
and it is added to the Bishop collection
because the spern whale is an inhabi-
tant of these waters as well as the
colder climate.

IF. j. RUSSELL,
Master.

The court, and Attorney Robertson,
appearing i'm behalf of the guardian,
had some discussion as to the first
mortgage deeds of trust. Where a
plantation borrows $750,000 on a trust
deed which can only be foreclosed by
consent of a majority Of the bond
holders" said the judge, 'one half OF
the bond holders are without any Sc
curity at all. The minority bond hold
ers, of which this estate is one, are un-
secured. The man who has S349'OOO
worth of these bonds has not a bit Of
security for his money The man VINO
has 1851, 600 is well secured"
ION the other hand" said Robertson,
the fact that foreclosure can only be
made by consent of majority Of the
bond holders is a protection to all, be-
cause it prevents hasty and ill-advised
radical steps thap might injure all. In
this case there can be no such steps un-
less majority of those interested con
slider it advisable, so that the provision
is really a protection to every bond
holder
THE individual bond holder not only
has the right of protection under the
trust deed, but the right to sue In as
sumpsit and obtain judgment"
Judge Humphreys said that such a
judgment would be worthless as lien
on the land in this case, He inquired
II the agents We're the majority bond
holders and was informed that such
was not the case THE bonds are the
same as a good propisorv note said
the court, but a guardian of an estate
| is not supposed to invest in promisorS
notes however good they are. The
| masters report shows that the property
is ample security for S750,0O0, but IT does
