THE PRINCESS IS FAST .
She WAS TRIED YESTERDAY
SHOWING CLEAN PAIR HEELS
Prince Cupid Pleased With His New
Boat Which Had Initial
Spin in
HarbOr.

The Princess. Prince Cupid's new
boat, was out for her initial spin in
Hawaiian waters yesterday afternoon
in company with the Skip. Like the
little Myrtle she is a remarkably stia
boat and handles extremely well
There was a splendid wind bio wing
which, although gusty, was strong
nearly all the time and the new tlier
showed clean pair of heels to the old
cruiser which 1t takes a gale to show
up at her best. The boats went around
the spar buoy and up the harbor twice
the first time the Skip was distanced
and the second time as the wind grew
strong she. showed up a little better
with the racer.
What the new boat will do in COM
pany with the Myrtle and Wikiwiki
and the new pontoon being built ~
the Lyle boys remains to be seen but
those who saw her perform yesterday
seem to think that she will not havo
things all her own way. As she is
larger than the Myrtle and spreads
more sail she will in all probability
have to give her time allowance When
the order was given for her II was
thought that the Myrtle's length was
twenty-five feet over all but this was
wrong and so the new boat Is several
feet longer on the water line than tho
other boat she was supposed to be
like. Otherwise the boats are similar
and look good deal alike. 1t will
take quite a time to get the new boat
tuned up to her best and as her owner
becomes more familiar with what sho
can do he will be able to sail her better
In stays she is as quick as a fast.
She works right up into the wind and
running free with her centerboard NJ
| she is very speedy. With the high
wind blowing yesterday she proved to
| be remarkably stiff although she had
| but four mon aboard. Not once did sha
| have her rail under water. As she en-.
| ters the water she cuts 1t and throws
up quite wave. In leaving, her wake
is clean with hardly any dead water
except a small curl right at the rld
| der.
by the time of the next yacht club
run she will be in good trim to show
what she can do against the speedy
boats. The Myrtle and Vi-Ke. espC-
cially the former, will go after her FOE
all she Is worth and give her a try out
which the Skip was not capable OF do

Before she was shipped here the
Princess started from scratch in a race
