READY FOR
REGATTA
Changes in the Yacht
Race Schedule are
Planned.

Regatta Committee will, it is said. pro-
fest to the Baseball Association against
the carrying out of their motion to
postpone the deferred H. A. C.-Maile
game until Regatta Dav. Pat Gleason
is quoted as saying that the H. A. C's.
would not play anyhow but league
agreement to postpone would undoubt-
edly suit him better than an enforced
forfeit.
w. C. Parke and Frank Armstrong
have been appointed a committee OF two
to collect subscriptions from the mer-
chants. While approaching the cry of
hard times they do not anticipate any
difficulty in raising sum as large as last
year which was sufficient for all ex-
penses.
The program, as announced in yes
DAVIS Advertiser, will follow the lines
of other years, the only variation beng
in the Yacht races which this year have
been placed entirely under the control
of the Hawaii Yacht Club and its reg
Mar regatta committee. Only two
classes have been planned with handi-
CAPS based on actual achievements. This
will allow of handsome prizes and
closer finishes. The course is the reg
ular one from Honolulu light house
around stake boats off Diamond Head
and Pearl Harbor and back again.
The first class race should be not
able one. La Paloma which finished
only 90 seconds behind the Gladys last
year is at scratch with her rival, while
Renton's smaller edition of the Gladys,
the Kapolei is out for her first race and
with her handicap should make good
showing. The first class handicap, ar
ranged at yacht club meeting yester-
day noon are, Paloma, Gladys scratch,
Helene ( minutes allowance, Kapolei IS,
Hawaii rs and Spray 80. The rest OF
the feet will be Jumped into second
class with appropriate handicaps.
Senior Race-Course. From line be-
tween Railroad wharf and Sorenson's
wharf to and around flags opposite Spar
Buoy, keeping same on port side IN
turning, thence back to Judges boat
] Boats to keep their own course through
out the race.
Junior and Freshmen-Course. From
Judges boat to and around flags oppo-
site Spar Buoy. keeping same on port
side in turning, thence back to start.
Pair cared sliding seat boats
Course. From Judges boat to makai
end OF Channel wharf.
1t IS hoped that entries will be made
to insure six-oared gig race. Such
race was the first on the program last
year with the following course:
Course-From Judges boat out chan
mel TO Bell Buoy keeping Spar Buoy
on port side; turning Bell Buoy, keeping
same on port side; back to channel,
keeping Spar Buoy on starboard side;
thence back to start.
The course for the six-paddle canoe
race will be as follows: From Judges
boat to and around the first can buoy
n.akai of Channel wharf and back 10
start Last year the course for the sail-
ing canoes was the same but it has been
thought advisable by the committee to
make it longer this year.
Five cared whaleboat race-From
Judges boat to and around Spar Buoy,
keeping same on port side in turning,
thence back to start
Steamer-boat race-From Judges
boat to aud around Knuckle Buoy,
keeping same on port side in turning,
thence back to start
Two-oared. shoreboat race-From
Judges boat to and around FIRST can
buoy rlakai of channel wharf and back
to start.
The tug-of-war between Japanese
sampans and the Japanese sampan scull-
ing race, will probably figure on the
program as they did last year.
Prizes will be according to amounts
received but if possible are to be based
on last years schedule.
Although the committee does not yet
despair they have so far be en- unsuccess-
full in getting the ladies' crews to COM
pete. This would certainly be the event
OF the day and the fair oarswomen have
been at it long enough to put up a good
race but they shun the public gaze.
Special cajolements are being planned
70 secure this star event of the program.
