strategy, Ne Boy"

The young man stood before the
great steel magnate. A moment later
the latter looked up.
He stared at the rough clothing, the
muddied shoes, and the unkempt hair
OF the youth.
"Wel?" he said.
The youth retained his presence Of
mind He wanted job because he
needed it.
Sir" he said, Il have came"
He got no farther. A smile irradi-
ated the magnate's face.
That's all right" he said: "the job

How to Wash Stockings.

All kinds of stockings require to be
carefully washed. No soda must be
used, and the water must be moder.
atcly warm both for washing and rims
ing.
Lisle thread stockings should be
washed in tepid water, using little
soap for the feet only. Rinse in water
to which few drops of liquid am.
monia have been added. Dry them
quickly, preferably in good curren
Of air, and press with warm iron.
Silk stockings should be washed in
tepid water with mild soap. Rinse
them in several waters. Shake them
we'll and roll them in cloth to dry
after pulling them into shape. When
pegging stockings to the clothesline
TO-: drying out of doors the feet should
always be uppermost.

Hints For Mrs. Just-Married.

h1ntS fOr MIS-. Just-MarTleu.
The dining room should be in per-
feet order before breakfast is served.
The plates should be properly heated
and placed before. the carver.
A meal should never be announced
until everything is in readiness.
The coffee SHOULD be served very hot
and with hot milk.
The glasses should be freshly filed
with clear, cold water.
The butter should be kept in the re-
frigeratOr until the last minute in
summer, but kept where it will be soft
enough to spread in winter.
The table should always be so kept
as to be ready for a guest with but a
moments notice.
A cotton flannel "silence cloth" not
only makes the tablecloth look infin-
itely handsomer, but preserves the
vanished surface from stains from hot
dishes.
A polished table if used must be
spotless; it is therefore not desirable
for every day use, as there is too much
work involved in keeping it in order.
A sufficient number Of knives, forks
and spoons should be placed on the
table SO that nothing need be called for
after the family are seated.

There is talk of another third class
yacht race for a cup.
The events were hustled through with
commendable promptitude.
The victory of the Myrtles in The pair
Dared race was genuine surprise.
The lack Of entries in the swimming
and diving events was lamentable.
George Harris boat in the gig race,
the Alexander K, was blackleaded. She
is the old Foreign Office boa.
Harry Evans broke the record for max
ing bets. Up to p. M, eighty-three
wagers had been traced to him.
The Healani freshman crew was very
green. compared with the seasoned
Myrtle boys. They rowed a good race,
however.
Life on the judges pontoon was very
enjoyable. J. w. Chapman catered adj
mirably, and J. w. Smithies was, as US
ual, an ideal host.
protest has been entered against the
third class yacht Myrtle on account of

ceded to be a gift for the Healanis
The following rowed In this event:
HEALANI. MYRTLE.
D. Renear mo. w. Lyle 49, No. 1
P. Jarrett mo. 2 w Armstrong No. 2
The Myrtle brace proved a surprise,
and landed the race for the reds by
less than half a length. The Healanis
rowed as if they had worked too hard
earlier in the day. The course was from
the judges stand to the makai end of
the Channel wharf Time, 2:40 35.
SWIMMING AND DIVING.
In the 10o-yard straightaway race,
w. X. Pua defeated Kuhina and w. D.
King, after an exciting struggle. The
prize was SIS. Pua made the distance
in 1:19 3-5, and King in 1:20
The distance swim was won easily
by W. d. King, who annexed SIS. The
course was about half mile.
Makaiki won the SIS offered for the
time dive. He defeated Eugene
Devauchelle, staying under water
minute II seconds. When the winner
came up he Immediately sank down
again, and a cry arose that he was
drowning. After few seconds he re-
appeared and coolly inquired where the
other fellow was. The laugh was then
wards explained that when he came up
the first time he ducked again because
he thought that his opponent had not
yet arrived at the surface.
THE OTHER EVENTS
The race for six-oared gigs was won
by Prince David's entry, the Kanoe-
lani. The Kapiolani finished third, and
the Alexander r, manned by crew of
Pacific Hardware Company employees,
second. Prince Cupid coxed the win
ming boat, and Prince David did the
same thing for the tail-enders. Geo.
Harris guided his own men. David's
stroke oar got that tired feeling, and
the prince took his place and rowed
stroke to the finish. Time, 24:1S.
The tug-of-war between Japanese
fishing boats was contested by the Ito
and the Iwilei. In the first trial
member of the Ito's crew broke an
oar lashing and the struggle was re-
started. This time the Ito won pretty
easily to the great delight of Manila,
the owner Of the boat and his friends
and relatives, who were put on board
for ballast.
A. L. c. Atkinson's queerly- named
entry, the Opunui, took the whaleboat
race from the Flying Fish. The trip
around the spar buoy was made in
24:32 rs. The first prize was $50.
A. M. Browns six-paddle canoe, the
Alabama, took the event in which it
was entered. J. Namaielua's Imi fin
ished second. Time, 1898. The Ala
bama won this race last year, with the
same crew.
The Claudine, Kinau, Helene and |
had representatives in the |
steamer boat race. The course was |
around the knuckle buoy and return. !
For the sixth successive year the XII |
nau's boat won. The Claudine finish

and with a megaphone and otherwise,

Meanwhile, Dan Renear, the Healani
barge captain. had not been idle, and
he also registered a protest which read
as follows:
L respectfully beg to enter a protest
against the Myrtle six-oared sliding
seat barge race of today, for the fol-
lowing reasons:
My crew We're notified at the start
that it had to keep the inner course
from the Railroad wharf around the
lighthouse to the flag this side of the
spar buoy, and back again to the
Judges stand. This course was kept
all the way by my boat; in fact, after
turning the lighthouse, on the inward
trip, l ordered the coxswain to give
way a little bit to the Myrtle boat, but
finally l was notified that he could not
go any further without hitting the
judges stand, and the effect was that
No. 4 oar of the Myrtle boat came into
contact with NO. 3 oar or my boat.
"Basing on the bylaws of the Ha-
waiian Rowing Association, chapter:
Laws of Boat Racing, sections to
Is. l claim that the Myrtle has COM
mitted a foul, and respectfully ask
that the judges make a thorough in
vestigation of the case and give a de-
cision at their very earliest convent
ence."
The judges We're the recipients of the
following communication from Captain
Atkinson, of the Healani club:
Referring to the protest entered by
the captain of our senior barge crew,
l beg to ask you to kindly render
definite decision regarding the senior
barge race before the start of the four
cared shell race this afternoon"
The judges decided that it was no
race, and ordered it rerowed next Sat
urday. Both clubs are given until
noon next Wednesday to decide upon
what they will do in the matter 1t
is practically certain that the race will
be rerowed. In the next race individual
buoys will be placed at the lighthouse,
as well as at the spar buoy, so that
dispute as to course will be i'm
possible.
The crews in the freshmens barge
race were:

success, and they lowered the main
sail and gradually worked back to the
entrance of the harbor under her Jib.
where she was picked up by the Ma
ria, Captain Lee, and toWed to her
mornings. With the Pirate out of the
race, the Shamrock II, Myrtle and Oio
battled for first place, the Shamrock
rounding Sans Souci minute ahead
of the Myrtle, and followed closely by
the Oio, Vi-ke and Hihimanu, with the
Skip outclassed. In rounding the
stakeboat the Hihimanu came to grief.
In setting the spinnaker, the halyard
gave way, dropping the spinnaker
overheard and becoming entangled
with her rudder, snapped it off, put
ting her out of the race. The wind
freshened and the remaining yachts
rounded the stakeboat off Quarantine
Station with their positions unchanged
except the Skip, which had closed con-
siderably the gap between her and the
leader. After rounding the Quarantine
stakeboat the wind fell fiat, and the
trip back to the bell buoy was drift.
The Myrtle gained a long lead in this
stretch, which practically gave her the
race, by sculling her through the calm
with her rudder.
The Myrtle crossed the line first,
fully two minutes ahead of the Oio,
which finished second. Seven minutes
later the Shamrock finished, and some
distance behind came the Vi-ke and
Skip, which finished close together.
The Myrtle's time was hours, 3
minutes and 90 seconds, or nearly an
hour longer than it took her to cover
the course last year.
FOURTH CLASS RACE.
The Pokii was an easy winner in the
fourth class event. Her only competi-
tor was the Abbie M, neither Prince
Davids Canary, or Hobron's Clytie
starting. The Pokii got off first, and
continued to gain on the Abbie NJ,
over a mile in the lead. The Abbie NJ
diminished the lead steadily, and had
nearly caught up at the Quarantine
buoy, where both lay becalmed drift
ing slowly towards the bell buoy The
Pokfi caught the breeze first in the
channel, while the Abbie NJ was still
becalmed, and finished nearly twenty
minutes ahead of her rival. Time,
hours, 20 minutes and Is seconds.
TIME WAS SLOW.

The Healanis started off in the lead,
but soon came back to their opponents
who held a slight lead at the light
house. 1t was neck and neck to the

the Myrtles. Coming home the Hea-
lanis tired very perceptibly, and at
the channel buoy were beaten From

Another One.

The fire boys were routed out about
2 O'Clock Wednesday morning by the
alarm bell. The alarm was found TO
come from the south brick plant, a
mile and half away. The boys made
a flying morning trip out to the plant.
They found the fire originated in the
roof of the dry house. The fire was
confined to this one structure so that
no serious damage results nor no delay
in the output. Damage covered by
insurance.
