THE kauai SECURED.

completed arrangements for securing
the steamer Kauai to take the MEM
bers of the subcommittee of the Sen
ate Committee on Pacific Islands and
Porto Rico and their party to the Lep-

will leave Thursday evening and return
Friday evening.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
white and blue colors and along the
sides of the room were numerous palm
leaves fastened with the blue and white
ribbons The cups and pictures of the
various crews of the club were display
ed to effective advantage. VariOus
flags hung from the ceiling although
this form of decoration was not follow
ed to any great extent. Refreshments
We're served from the side room. Dane
ing was enjoyed during the morning
and will be continued during the after
noon. The Healani Club had issued in
vitations disregarding the former GUS
tom of keeping open house.
In contrast to this policy however
the rival organization, the Myrtle club
held open house, both clubs entertain
mig large crowds, the Myrtles especially
being praised for their manner of en-
tertaining in such liberal fashion. The
Myrtle boat house was decorated in
quite artistic style. The broad lanai
where dancing was enjoyed was de-
cOrated with a profusion of ii and palm
leaves. Various stars and garlands
made of the American coolrs decorated
the ceiling. Flags were displayed about
the house, the colors floating from the
mast in front of the place.
AS early as o'clock this morning,
the people began to flock to the boat
house and along the Water Front. The
view from the Myrtle boat house was
much superior to that from the Hea-
lani boat house. The Myrtles had a
splendid view of the entire course. The
arrival of the Steamship Nippon
Maru and her docking at the Channel
wharf close to the Healani club house
shut off much of the makai end of the
course and obstructed what would
otherwise have been fine view. Seats
were provided for the various people at
both club houses. The clubs will en-
tertain throughout the afternoon.
Dancing will be the order of the day.
The first race between three siX-oar-
ed stationary seated gigs, started at
9:45. Judge Wilcox having withdrawn,
l.. de l.. Ward acted as starter and
sent them off to an excellent start only
marred by the Fearless passing close
to the boats as they lay awaiting the
signal and giving Prince Kuhio's crew
in the Kawailani, bad wash. The Ka-
noelani lay nearest to the wharves, the
Alexander W., w. w. Harris crew
wearing Myrtle colors, in the center,
and A. l.. c. Atkinson's Healani crew
in the Kapiolani, nearest the Judge s
| stand. The latter got little the best
of the start, the Alexander Il, failing
to catch smartly. All the oarsmen
were natives.
A protest, stating that the Pipi, a
yacht, entered in the fourth class, was
] the old Marion, champion of the sec
| ond class under another name, was
sent i'm by +. l.. Weaver, secretary OF
the Hawaii Yacht Club. The judges
decided that the question should be
settled later, the Pipi being considered
as racing under protest,
Prince Cupid's crew overhauled the
others, taking the lead at the light
house and coming home hundred and

SUGAR FOR JAPAN.

YOKOHAMA, Sept. 6.-The Foreign
Trade Report shows that Hongkong
and Germany together furnish nearly
half the sugar imported, and the other
half is brought from many countries,
among which Austria Hungary, Chi
ma, Dutch India, and the Philippine
Islands are not most important. The
Philippines increased their shipments
by about fifty per cent as compared
with 1900. This market for sugar is
growing, and with the establishment of
more settled conditions in the Philip
pines the industry should be developed
in those islands so as to supply half
the demand here. They now supply
about one-ninth, none of which is re-
fined.

THE BAND UNIFORMS

Attorney General Dole has been ask
ed for an opinion as to whether the
Territorial Band are entitled to be sup
piled with uniforms from the Federal
supplies furnished for the National
Guard. In reply he says that that Is
rather question for the United States
Attorney. He suggests however that if
the legislature by appropriate legisia-
tion creates the band a military as
well as a Territorial band there will be
no difficulty about securing the uni
forms from the Federal appropriation.

reak Vessel
Arrives With
Cargo of Coal

SAN FRANCISCO, September
1.-THE big British tramp
streamer Lime Branch arrived
here at 1 o'clock this morning
from Newcastle, N. S. W., with
coal. The water front is will
ing to give her the palm for be-
ing the freakiest looking craft
that has ever been in the har-
Dor. In appearance she is a
veritable nightmare to generally
accepted marine ideas. She has
no masts to support her cargo
booms and derricks, but in
stead five sets of settlers or
stands-circular steel castings
along both sides and rising prob
ably thirty feet above the main
deck. Bulk cargo may be put
into the ship through these and
for handling other freight they
are so distributed that they have
access to all of the matches.

Rival Liners
Race Across
The Atlantic

NEW YORK, September 12.-
For the space of six days the
maritime world has been await
ing the outcome of a test of
speed across the Atlantic in
which two contestants of rival
lines are involved. These are
the American liner Philadelphia
and the Hamburg-American
racer Fuerst Bismarck. The
race has ended in a victory for
the American ship. The Phila-
delphia was reported abeam of
Fire Island at 1890 o'clock to-
night, indicating that she has
shown a clean pair of heels to
her German rival. The Philadel-
phia sailed from Southampton.
The Fuerst Bismarck took her
departure from across the chan
mel at the port of Hamburg at
the same hour that the Ameri-
can liner put to sea.
