OF the owners not being able to leave
at any stated time the boats will go
down individually during the afternoon
The crews will hold a luau or Ha-

and camp out in their boats about the
Salt Works at the harbor entrance and
generally have a good time along the
bathing beach, incidentally looking
over the site for the proposed yacht

Sunday morning the select regatta
will commence. There will be class
races round Ford's Island winding up
with grand run home to Honolulu

a sloop and other craft on hand that he
will captain at a very reasonable rate.

There is always a breeze on the lochs
and the heat of the sum is to tempered
that it only leaves a fashionable tan
for the pleasure of the outing and the
benefit of the salt sea air and breeze.
Schwenk has announced his intention
of setting up gasoline launch as soon
as passengers begin to materialize and
before long the railroad will be running
parallel to the Puuloa salt works. close
to the harbor mouth. The following
boats are available for the regatta
Saturday week and will most of them
take share in the SPORT royal: Gladys,
Mary L., Dewey, Healani Helene,
Vike, Skin Shamrock III Pirate. Myr-

Vid's diminutive Canary.
The Myrtle Skip. Pirate, and sham
rock III will try conclusions again on
the way home and in the class races.
The Shamrock III is favored by local
cracks as the best boat of her class and
her poor showing in the race of the
other day was in a great measure due
to the fact that the breeze was much
too fresh for the small amount of live
ballast she carried despite the avoir-
dupois of her skipper
