The makeup of the crews was very
good, including as it did the best oars
men in the Territory. Myrtle and Hea-
lani men pulled in the same boat, and
for once the lion lay down with the
lamb.
The course was from the Railroad
wharf to the Quarantine wharf, dis
lance of about half mile. Punctuai-
ly at $50 o'clock Stirring" Woodbridge
started the race from a launch.
The start was a good one. Soon az
ter the boats were fairly under way,
the single men assumed lead of a

until the winning line was crossed, get
ting home good two and a half
lengths in front of their opponents.

A CHAMPION ALL
ROUND ATHLETE

The young man, surrounded by fishes
and waterplants, whose lineaments are
depicted on this page, is Dan. Renear,
oarsman, diver and champion short-dis-
lance swimmer of the Territory. Mr..
Renear was born in Melville, New Jer-
sey, but before coming to Hawaii resided
for several years in Stockton, Cal. He
weight about 175 pounds and is S feet
S2l inches in height. 80.
His first race was in Santa Cruz, when
he was beaten in a 75-yard squirt. In
this race the worlds record was broken
by four seconds. Since then he has
rarely if ever been defeated. In practice
he has done better than LOS for a full
100 yards and the excellence of this per-
Torrance may be inferred when it is
known that 1 minute Is seconds is con-
sidered very fast time for the best men
swimmers known to San Francisco.
Renear was when at the Coast a mem
Der Of the California Swimming Club and
lowered the Coast record for 100 yards. In
1887 he went and showed the way to all
competitors in the 100-yards swimming
match, while the international champion
ships. were in progress at Chicago. 1t was
an open-air competition and the time,
1907 rs, does not compare with his best
efforts in sheltered waters. His record
is 1:05 2-5. made in San Francisco in
July, 1896, when he broke the world S
record of LOS S-5, made in 1887. He is
probably the greatest swimmer in Amer
lea for 100 yards and should today be
capable of swimming dangerously close
to the worlds record.
When a member of the California
Swimming Club, Renear cut the Ameri-
can record for 100 yards from 1:151s to
10SA. The former time was done in a
straightaway swim, while the latter in
Guided four turns.
On the same night that Renear lowered
the worlds amateur record r 100 yards
to LOS 3-5, he reduced this me to 1:02 in
a handicap race from scratch.
In 1897 Renear broke the Coast records
for fifty and seventy-five yards which
he covered 90 and "A respectively These
records were made in the Lurl ne baths
