shot ahead at the finish nearly twelve

As the regatta committee retired for
lunch a last sight of the yacht races
was taken revealing the craft return
ing from Waikiki. The Malolo, of the
fourth class. seemed to be enjoying a
monopoly of that race, while the Walker
boat Defiance, and the Sorenson-LyIe
boat Irish We're hard by each other
with the advantage in favor of the
Walker craft. The La Paloma had
now set her spinnaker and was ahead
of the Gladys, with the Helene, despite
her combined spinnaker and balloon
jib, far behind. The breeze was slight
ly northerly and seemed in favor of the
La Paloma, with a good chance for the
Helene which set a combination of bal
loon jib and spinnaker but failed to
connect. The La Paloma gradually
crawled away from the Gladys and
rounded the stake boat off Pearl Har-
Dor some five minutes ahead of Hob
ron's craft. Commodore Macfarlane
seemed to be out with the purpose of
bringing Hobron's scalp at the taffrail
and followed him through the race
tack for tack. AS the modern typed
Gladys is many seconds faster in stays
than the converted schooner, the La
Palorna lost seconds on each coming
about and probably lost the final is
sue through these maneuvers. The La
Paloma is undoubtedly faster than she
used to be- and is hard on the Gladys
on the course of yesterday, sailing on
even time.
After lunch the intermediate six oar
ed sliding seat barge race between the
Healani and Myrtle clubs was the first
event. The start commenced opposite
the judges barge and the course round
ed the spar buoy, finishing at the start
ing line. Starter Turner got the boats
off we'll together, the Healanis this
time getting away a little the better
of the two. Up to the spar there
seemed little to choose, both crews
avera ging a stroke of 80. The Hea-
lanis, who We're admissibly the weaker
crew. showed up well against their
opponents but on the turn at the spar
buoy the race was virtually decided.
From there in the Healanis appeared
to be outclassed and the Myrtles easily
maintained their lead winning finally
very easily with a margin of lengths to
donate. The Healanis were bested
throughout the contest. Just why
Sam Walker chose the outside course for
the Blue and White crew is a matter
of conjecture as the decision with the
prevailing wind and tide certainly did
not seem to favor the Healanis though
it probably would not have made any
difference in the final results.
The ninth race was the Japanese
sampan sculling event in which Aoki,
No. l. Nakada, No. 2, Iwamoto No. 3,
and EbesuZaki. No. +, lined up for the
start Aoki and Ebesuzaki seemed to
