THE FOURTH
BIG CRUISE
Hawaii Yacht Club
Birthday
Plans.

The members of the Hawaii Yacht
Club are beginning 20 take live in
terest in the org anization since the as
surance of having house at Puuloa IN
The immediate future. Work has been
started on the raiprs and addition to
:Ie lanai, which will afford ample room
for the accommodation of the nom
yacht owners for the present.
On washington's birthday the fourth
cruise will take place. 1t will then be
full moon and the Iochs will be arrayed
with all the grandeur and charm that
such nights have at Pearl Harbor. The
club will serve a fish chowder in the
club house and the boys will have the
luxury of having tables and benches
for the spread. There will also be Bos-
ton baked beans and hot coffee, which
is the usual menu at such outings. In
the evening there will be music, songs
and stories, until eight bells when the
jolly tars viii retire. Those who do not
possess yacht with accommodations
for sleeping Will be provided with cots
in the house. The non-yacht owners
who are not guests of those who have
boats will also be taken care of in
the house The secretary, Mr.. p. L.
Weaver, Jr., must be notified not later
than next Friday morning by those
who intend to go. This will insure the
members getting a seat at the festive
board and provision for sleeping. 1t is
understood that only club members are
invited to the chowder and entertain
ment.
Probably the inclemency of the
weather will prevent many from jour
neying to the Iochs this week. There
were in the neighborhood of one hum
dred pleasure seekers on the waters of
Pearl Harbor last Sunday in launches,
sail yachts and row boats. Some of the
yachts caught good hauls of fish. The
crew of the Dewey gathered in about
fifteen muIIet and six eels. besides sew
eraI other fish. Sharks seem to be out
of season. for during the past few
months. although efforts have been
made to capture these monsters, none
have taken the delicious morsels which
have been temptingly placed in their
accustomed paths of travel at the bot
tom OF the channel. Probably after the
dredging commences sharks may be-
comes very scarce, as well as turtles,
which are seen in such numbers now in
the channel near the bar.
Sydney yachtsmen are very partic-
uIar about carrying out yacht-racins
rules. In one OF their regattas three
boats were disqualified for not comply
ing with the color regulations. 1t
would be well for our local yachtsmen
to take warning and have flags and
buoys as called for by the racing rules
of the H. Y. c.
lfcInerny is going TO carry the cluD
cap. which will be sold to members oil
the club only. The yacht owners have
n gold device with the club flag and
two fouled anchors; non-yacht owners
the flag, but with only one anchor. This
distinguishes owners and non-owners
and is the general custom with the
best yacht clubs on the mainland the
cap is a very yachty looking AFFAIR ana
finds general favor. Those who desire
caps should give the firm their size So
that they may be ordered.
Quite number of the yachtsmen are
ordering club jumpers. They are maze
of white duck, with large sailor collar
of blue serge with a star in the cor
ner and blue cuffs. They are quite IN
EXPENSIVE and with white duck trousers
and white shoes will make neat uni
form. Ahana on Nuuanu street Is max
ing some of them.
