ARE At It
Training for the
Fourth Of
July.

That there will be a race for keeps,
one which will please every spectator
from start to finish, on July 4th, at
Pearl Harbor, is assured by the status
of the clubs at the present time, the
fact that both have crews far advanc-
ed, and that there will be some hard
work done between this time and the
day of the great event.
The men of the two clubs are hard at
it, rowing in the harbor each evening,
and it is expected that during the next
week the scene of their active training
will be transferred to Pearl lochs.
Thus far it has been their endeavor to
train here, owing to the large expense
of maintaining quarters there, and so
there has been only the regular row.
ing from the boat houses. The crews
of both clubs have been working well,
perhaps the Myrtles being a bit to the
good.
The Healanis, under Captain Walker,
are working, though hardly to his salts
faction, for the most courteous endeav-
ors to find something about his crews
meets no response. 1t can be said, on
the side, as it were, that there is a
degree of activity in the crew and that
the prospects are that the two crews
will be of fair average.
OF the reds there is more to be said,
for the men are working well, turn
out all the time and seem to show some
form. They are not level in their stroke
as yet, and the training will have to
develop them, but they are willing
workers and should round into form
right readily.
The junior crews have not been slat
ed according to the reports, and in
consequence there Is much to come
from the next weeks training.
The conditions for the race this year
will be better than before for the noted
changes at Pearl Harbor will have the
effect of making the day much more
pleasing for visitors. The trains now
run to the end of the Peninsula, and
the people will be saved the long and
dusty walk. There will be as we'll bet
ter opportunities to witness the race,
and the spectators will see it almost
ell the way. The new club house of the
Hawaii Yacht club will be in shape for
the reception of guests on the day, and
this will add to the pleasure of the
occasion.
on udy OIL IHe race
have been made for special train SER
vice, which will make it possible for
the visitors to see all that is to be
seen. This train will reach the PENN
sula just in time for the races, and
will return Immediately they are over.
This should put every person who at
tends@-hA races back In town by 1890
o'clock, so that they may see all that
is scheduled for that afternoon.
The course will be a mile and a half
straightaway. This course has been
followed for several years, and proves
satisfactory, as the race is in sight
of the shore all the time and does not
mean total exhaustion for the men on
the short training. The former events
