The southerly weather with which
Honolulu has been afflicted during the
past five or six days has given rowing
a set back, as the harbor has been
too rough for shell practice to amount
&c anything. Tuesday there was not
a crew on the water, and since then the
oarsmen who did venture out appeared
to spend most of their time In trying
To keep the boat right side up, tor
form was conspicuous by It's ao-
sence. - =

anv one of which would ruin a shell IL
struck at racing speed. Add TO TINS the
fact that it is very difficult TO ge' q
half mile straight-away course ies
alone a mile and half. which is short
enough as it is. Would that there were
a four mile course here, for the mile
trained in the Tropics.
There may be some who would scon
at the idea that it is easier to row
four-mile race than mile and nan
race. but such Is the fact. A quarter
of a mile run Is the hardest race for
track athletes, and in the same way
the mile and a half race is the haroest
race on the water. 1t is the longest ols-
lance that human beings can race al

to finish.
Those who witness the boat races on
the Fourth, which races Will certainly

The benefit for the Healani Yacht
and Boat Club. which is under the
MANAGEMENT of Allan Dunn. will prob
ably take place at the Opera House on
the night of Saturday, June IS, and
promises to be a success. The Heala-
mans worked so hard and did so mocn
to make the Myrtle benefit of last year
&c off with such eclat, that the wearers
of the Red are going to Guido them IL
possible. and show that they are as
liberal and friendly as their worthy RI
walls.
In this connection the public also
should give all the aid in their power.
for they will get more than their
moneys worth from the entertainment
offered, and can not possibly help on
more worthy object than the boat clubs
that give so much good sport and clean
sport. 4
I tried nearly everything that was rec
commended to me and what I saw adj
vertised. but could get no relief. Fin
ally l procured Doan's Ointment. After
a few applications I was much re-
Iieved and, continuing the treatment,

felt no signs of that intolerable itching
since, and it is four months ago since

remedy whenever the opportunity Is
presented. You may publish my state
