There will be a general overhuuling
uf yachts aside from the third class
boats for the cruise next Saturday and
the race for the Turner trophy on SAT-
urday morning. The Shamrock is high
and dry for a general overlooking and
the Wiki Wiki is likely TO be on the
stocks as IT is reported that she Is
leaking somewhat. There are one or
two owners of boats i'm the club who are
not as vigilant concerning the constant
watChfulness that is needed to keep the
smallest craft in good condition in these
waters as they should be. Some Of the
boats have been left in the water since
the last regatta with bruised center
board sheaths and other damages which
while apparently trining, are constant
invitation to the bOrers Two or three
months inactivity will readily foul up
a boat too in the warm temperature Of
Hawaiian seas. A general tautening
and refitting of chafed sheets and stays
with a lick of paint here and there is
being given by the thoughtful owners.
There are now over thirty yachts in
the association. although only a few of
them are registered. 1t is prominently
necessary that owners give themselves
the slight trouble of registering their
boats and getting them measured. I'm
less this is complied with non register
ed yachts will not be available for
races.
1t is probable that costume will be
adopted By the members for gala Oc-
casiOns. This will not be costly and
will probably consist merely of a white
jumper similar to those used in the
navy and other yachting clubs. A blue
collier, on which the club flag may be
emblazoned, will complete the design
White trousers will be worn and a hat
which is being forwarded to Commodore
Hebron from the east will possibly be
adopted. This is the regulation yacht
ing cap of white for tropical seas and
has the club flag worked in front in
colors. Three gold stars denote the
commodore, two the vice and a gold "S'
the secretary.
There are already enough shares sub
scribed for Incorporation and the
ground will be paid for and alterations
commenced on the present building
early in February. 1t is not the inten-
ton to scatter the shares broadcast
through the community as there is
every disposition on the part of the
present members to retain the control
themselves. Composed as the associa-
ton is largely of the older men VINO

at par and will be an enjoyable invest
ment.
There will be a program of monthly
events laid out for this year with cruises
clam balles dances, and a big regatta
to be given in the most approved East
ern manner with Illuminated yachts.

From general indications. the estab-

will be the signal for seve al arks to be
