1t was a picnic crowd too. for tho
people who came to the front tn mass
the day without going to one of the
boat houses, or to be entertained in ona
of the ships, brought their luncher, and
made a day of it. At the club Fn1s4s
there was luncheon and on board ALI he
vessels the visitors had a collation..
The most elaborate spread was that
which was prepared for the judges. on
their barge. and where the good things
of the market were provided and en-
joyed by all who were among the in
vited guests of the regatta committee.
There was enthusiasm all along the
line too 1t was a shouting COMPETE

iasm than usual perhaps because Of
the varied events. There was applause
for the men and the clubs. and the
struggles of the japanese. the Hawai-
ians in their canoe races and the zig
and whale boat races, brought forth
many and long shouts of cheer There
was a shout which was heard uptown
when the crowds along the shore saw

beaten at the lighthouse after a grilling
race around the bell buoy change

crew down to the finish line al high

their double scul crew had nosed out
the finish, went half wild but when
their enthusiasm had died away there
was corresponding shout from the
other side which was more hearty
Altogether there was little to be wish
ed in addition TO what was offered by
the committee in charge of the events
and it was a day full of satisfaction
for Honolulu, for that portion of the
city which did not see and cheer over
the races was small one indeed.
