All was hustle and preparation at the
Myrtle and Healani Boat Clubs yesterday
afternoon. The local yachtsmen who were
TO participate in the initial cruise and
luau given by the Hawaii Yacht Club had
a. merry time in preparing for the get
away. Owing to some hardness upon
the part of several members of the or
ganization the yachts together with a
large amount of live ballast, did not
leave on schedule time.
If the amount of baggage taken By the
participants could be safely counted upon
as criterion the two days racing and
cruise at Ford's Island and the festivi-
ties at Puuloa should be set down as one
of the biggest events of the kind ever at
tempted by an aquatic organization.
Large hampers of an infinite variety of
provisions were loaded aboard the yachts
as they danced on the waves, moored to
the landings. Strange and mysterious
wicker covered vases were tenderly borne
TO the sailing craft and deposited in OBJ
scure hooks and corners. Bedding galore
and voluminous mosquito MEETINGS were
also TO be seen going in over the sides of
the Little Vessels. In fact arrangements
were perfected by which the members and
friends of the new yacht club will not
have occasion for some time to forget the
affair
Those unprovided with transportation
facilities and not being possessed of q
YACHT. were taken TO the grounds in q
specially chartered launch.
The commodore and vice commodore
raised their newly adopted pennants TO
the breeze Yesterday The banners were,
presented by Pearson and Potter. and
when displayed they presented pretty
appearance.

the entertainment. There were few re-
