AN INTERESTING RACE.
A Small Fleet of Yachts After Third
Glass Trophy.

a HLldu IeeJ Oh AachtS After Third
Class Trophy,
If all the boats belonging to the third
class qualify and start in the race for
the Turner trophy on Sunday the sight
will be one well worth a run to Pearl
Harbor to witness. Schwenk the
boatman at the Peninsula, has several
boats available for carrying spectators
over to the course from the 9:l5 train
from town. Clarence Macfarlane has
"a party of guests including the Dut-
tons, arranged for Sunday and will
take them out to view the race in his
launch.
There are in all ten boats in the third
class the Hihimanu, Malhini, Myrtle,
Oio, Pirate, Princess, Shamrock III,
Skip, Ni-ke and Wiki-wiki. Only six
IOf these have so far registered but
there is little doubt but what the
IOthers will come to time today and to-
morrow. The owner of the Shamrock
III has had his yacht cleaned up for
the occasion but is not registered yet.
Lloyd Conkling Of the Skip is a persis-
tent aspirant for third class hOnOrs and
would have scored on the run down
last regatta day, but for an unluclSy
grounding on a shOal at the last min
ute. Skipper Conkling has not regis
tered yet either. Walkers moving side
walk the Wiki-wiK is also liable to dis
qualification.
The SOrenson boat has not been re-
gistered yet the builders having waited
until she is entirely finished. Experts
opinion gives the Malahini, as the new
boat is called, the heels of the fleet,
which distinction is now held by the
Myrtle
The Malahini is a Lark" model built
exactly to plan with no attempted inn
lproVements or other decorations. With
the three unknown quantities i'm the
speed of the Princess, Malahini and
IWiki-witi the contest will be a lively
one, with eight or nine boats fighting
hard on every tack of the ten mile
course. 1t seems likely that every
yacht will compete except the Oio and
the Myrtle, the last apparently having
a Chilly centerboard."

BIG OH FIELD SAVED.


Beaumont, Tex, Sept. 10 The fire
which started at 1880 o'clock Friday
morning in the northeastern part OF
the oil field swept away ten acres OF
derricks, which stood as thick as trees
in q forest. The damage is roughly
estimated at 100000, although this
is considered a very conservative hg-
ure Only one well, the Flora Texas,
is now burning, Ill the others being u ID
der control by shutdown. The Flora IS
throwing a stream of burning oil %
feet into the air, and there is no inn
mediate prospect Of checking the How
or the blaze.
The fire, which threatened the en-
tire district, was the direct result OF
carelessness. A man with lighted
lantern went into the settling tank OF
the Keith-Ward tract on Spindle Top,
and an explosion immed lately resulted.
The man was thrown down and badly
bruised, but escaped without serious
injury.
| "A 81 ,50O-barrel tank full Of oil be
longing to the Higgins OLD Fuel com
pany, 300 yards away, caught fire and
has been burning since, the blaze being
/ confined to the tank, from which they
/ are pumping the oil at the rate OF 8ot
barrels an hour. A settling tank neal

burned and burst, covering the Vi
cinity with burning fluid. The Brict
