The race to the spar buoy was very

a shade the soonest, but almost imme-
diately the Healanis drew even and it
appeared to be anybody's race. Their
effort was too much for them, how
ever. and the Myrtles reached the light
house with a substantial lead.
After that the Myrt1es had the race
their own way, the Healanis being
palpably all out. The race was won BY

Hawaii ............... Sorenson & Lyle
j There has never been a yacht race
sailed in Honolulu such as the one be-
tween the Hawaii, Kapolei and Spray
/ yesterday. With a perfect start, all
! three yachts crossed the line within
10 seconds of each other and dashed
out into a breeze only mildly described
as half a gale. Two of the boats-the
Hawaii and Kapolei, both scratch boats
| Immediately reefed down for the run
before the wind. Commodore Harry
E. Picker of the Spray, realizing that
his only chance of winning lay in
keeping everything abroad, refused to
reef and broke his balloon jib and
spinnaker.
| The Spray, given handicap of 80
minutes, won handily from the Kapo-
lei, the Hawaii being Is 1-2 minutes
later.
The course sailed was 1 1-2 miles
longer than that laid out, the Spray
and Hawaii in most sportsmanlike
style following the mistaken lead of the
Kapolei around the bell buoy on the
homeward run.
The start was from an imaginary line
from the Healani Boat House to the
lighthouse The Spray crossed the line
2 seconds after gunfire with a splendid
start. Close behind her was the Ha-
wall and the Kapolei crossed 10 Sec
onds late. They rounded the spar
buoy at the mouth of the harbor with
the. Hawaii slightly in the lead. The
Spray was closely pressing her. These
positions were held until the befl buoy
was reached. This was rounded in the
same order.
Here the Hawaii rapidly drew ahead,
the Spray dropping behind and the
Kapolei close after. The Hawaii set
her balloon jib and the Spray broke
out both jib and spinnaker, which re-
suited in her rapidly overhauling the
Hawaii off Kalihi Harbor. The Kapo-
lei was 200 or 300 yards astern at this
point and it was neck and neck race
between the Hawaii and the Spray to
Pearl Harbor. The Spray and the Ha-
wall rounded the outer buoy of Pearl
Harbor together; the Kapolei Is Sec
onds behind.
From the mouth of Pearl Harbor to
Honolulu Harbor it was dead beat to
windward. This brought out the sail
ing qualities of the Kapolei and the
Hawaii and the Spray very quickly
dropped aStern. Inc hdpOlel OVeFnaO1-
ed the Hawaii about 2 miles after
rounding the Pearl Harbor mark and
the Spray was then far astern. These
positions were held till the finish.
The course was to finish off Honolu-
lu Harbor, but the Kapolei continued
round the bell buoy and the Hawaii
and Spray followed This gave an adj
ditionaI beat to windward of a mile
which had not been taken into account
in the handicapping and so gave the
Spray a disadvantage.
For some reason the Kapolei failed to
cross the line, marked by a black buoy
and flag, and therefore lost her chance
of taking second place, which was given
to the Hawaii by the judges.
THE wind was half a gale said
Picker last night. land all
the yachtsmen deserve credit for saw
ing their boats in a heavy sea and
wind that threate every moment to
put them out of commission. 1t was a
test of every boat and proved
that for sportsmanlike yachting Homo
lulu leads the world"

IMPORTANT CATTLE MEETING.
streas Resolutions Passed By the Delta County
Cattle Growers Association.

Whereas, 1t has occurred that cer-
tain parties in the county of Delta,
state of Colorado, have been arrested
and are under suspect of stealing and
shipping cattle that belong to members
of the association and that it is positi-
vely known that cattle Belonging to
members of this association were stolen
and shipped to outside markets and
towns and an attempt was made to
collect moneys for the sale of same:
9 Be 1t Resolved, That we, the mem-
bers of the Delta County Cattle Crow
ers association, hereby manifest our
feelings in this manner by the following
statements:
That we think that the District At
torney should ever be ready to use all
and any m cans to collect evidence on
this case.
That he should use every endeavor to
bring the guilty parties to justice and
that he should be more. than vigilant in
not allowing predjudiced parties to serve
on the jury when this case shall come
to trial.
That we believe that the cattle in
dustry is of such proportion to the
interests of this country that the same
deserves equal attention at the hands
of the officers of the law as does any
other industry and that the life and
sinew of the cattle industry is its pro-
lection on the range and that when it
occurs that parties have been guilty
of stealing cattle that each and every
case should be fully prosecuted, for by
that means alone can it be impressed
on those maliciously inclined that this
law breaking will not be tolerated with
to any extent whatever
Be It Further Resolved, That copy
of these resolutions be forwarded to
the District Attorney and to the county
papers with request that same be
published and that copy of same be
filed with the secretary of the associa-
ton for future reference.

Pruning Peach Trees.

Every fruit grower who wishes 10
prune peach tree should know a few
botanical features about it, especially
as to its habits of growth. 1t is easy
to distinguish the last years growth
from the two-year-old wood. It is
necessary to be able to distinguish the
fruit spurs from the leaf buds. The
fruit buds are normally two at = place
with leaf bud between and are born
on last years growth, never on two
year old wood. Tne fruit buds are
larger than the leaf buds and are more
rounded at the point. The leaf buds
are slim and sharp pointed. The fruit
buds when exposed to severe freezing
in winter. may be killed-that is the
pistil or center of the bud may die
from the effects of cold. Field and

PUMP HOUSE BURNS.
Deita's Water Supply is cut Short BY Burning Of
Pumping Plant.

At about 2 o'clock Wednesday morn
ing the old pumping plant on the island
just north of town was discovered to
be on fire. Owing to its being located
some distance from town the fire was
not discovered until the entire structure
was in flames. The boiler and machin-
cry was not badly burned, consequently
the pumps were started up in less than
twenty-four hours. Although the water
run low the city was not entirely out of
water at any time, the two large tanks
which were full at the time proving
sufficsent for all ordinary purposes. 1t
is thought that the fire was started
from damp coal being banked in the
fire box of the engine, which, on ac-
count of the gas, exploded some time
during the night blowing the door of
the fire box open and scattering coal
over the engine room

They report that things are decidedly
in favor Of Delta eventually securing

it will be difficult matter to secure an

some of the beet sugar magnates and
found that Delta is decidedly favorits
