| barge race of the year and carries with

| Healanis have one of the best crews
they have ever entered in a barge race,
while the Myrtles are admitted even
by their opponents to have selected one
in these waters. There will be some
very lively betting, both sides holding
off for even money.

! terested. This is the freshmen crew
race in which representatives from the
Healani and Myrtle clubs are to par
| ticipate The Myrtles are said to have
slightly the better of the argument but

in the least surprising if they should
capture the race. The race will be row.

Glasses l and will take the usual
course starting from the judges barge,
out round a boat off Diamond Head,
straight down the coast to a second
boat off the entrance to Pearl Harbor,
| back and around the bell buoy, finish
| ing past the judges barge. The third
and fourth classes will also go to the
| Diamond Head boat but will round a
second boat off the quarantine island
station and after rounding the bell
! buoy, finish past the judges barge.
The keenest interest is taken in the
| third class event Three new boats,
the Hihimanu, Pirate and Shamrock
! II have been specially built to compete
| in this race and as none of them have
| been in the water over few months
| the element of uncertainty regarding
| their respective merits, makes the race
all the more exciting. The Myrtle is a
very fast yacht in this class and the
| Skip under the hand of Skipper Lloyd
Conklin is apt to make a good showing
and come very near beating some of
the speediest be Is in the class if In
deed, she uoes not win the e, mt.

d. King. F. McGettigan f. Mcintyre,
G. A. Mcintosh, j. e. Nostrom, Albert
Harris. Inasmuch as the entries for
this event are open until the race
starts, ii is possible that some more
names will be received. Kimokeo the
native swimmer who won over Dan Re
near of the Healani club in a previous
contest may take part in the race.
1t was hoped that Renear would
