notwithstanding Program Made,
The members of the Hawaii Yacht
| Club have completed their arrange
ments for celebrating the Fourth in
connection with the regatta at Pearl
| tiarbor, and will vie with the boat clubs
ir providing entertainment for the
lcrOWd. Yachting up to the present
time, has failed in achieving the local
popularity with the crowd at large that
it enjoys on the Mainland, mainly ow-
ing to the fact that as a general rule
4 the yachts sailed a course which
promptly took them out of sight of the
crowd and did not return tor two or
more hours, possibly finishing away
from the starting point altogether,
leaving long hiatus to be filled in any
event
There are few more interesting sights
than fleet of yachts manouvering over
a triangular course in full sighs Of the
spectators from start to finish, and this
form OF racing has been universally
adopted by racing clubs away from
here The boats are placed in classes
according to toheiT dimensions and san
AREA, and, as a consequence keep close
together on all the tacks The triangG-
lar course has other advantages in Of
fering opportunity, especially when
twice sailed over, for all points of sail
ing and the best boat generally wins.
Vigorous efforts will be made this
year by the local enthusiasts to bring
yachting before the public in such
fashion that the sport and excitement
can be enjoyed on land as we'll as sea.

Yacht Club has been arranged as roll
