Evening bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1895-1912, 1905-09-16

Some enthusiasts got up a pool on
the issue, but the master of ceremo'
MES arranged 1t so that but one name
was drawn--the p. d. Q.-the other
ships were blanks.
The Fun Victorious.
When the buoy was rounded the
Fun led by big margin, the p. ID. O.
had the middle and the little Julie
was way behind. At the lighthouse
the d. Q. got hustle on and mar
rowed the Fun's lead. The Fun finish
ed about a dozen lengths ahead in
2437. the p. d. Q. finishing in PASS 20,
with the Julie barely at the light
house.
One minute would have been enough
of a handicap for the p. d. q.
Yacht Races Start.
At 1855 the second class yachts
were started over the following course:
Start from imaginary line between
the lighthouse and Healani Boat House.
Thence out the channel, keeping be-
tween the buoys and piles; thence to
Waikiki stake boat, lacking around
same; thence TO Pearl Harbor bar fair
way buoy, lacking around same: thence
back to the Bell buoy. lacking around
same; thence to Spar buoy, passing
up channel finish opposite judges
stand. Going and coming from Wal
kiki keep on seward side OF Bell buoy.
Original entries were: Myrtle, Geo.
A. Crozier; Princess, Prince Cupid; ;
Irish, S. Dowsett; Maggie, VIM. Lyle;
Malolo, Chris Johnson; Skip, j. +. Jae-
ger; Cat-boat (no name), Robt. Lee.
At 12:0412 the first class yachts made
a start, to sail over the same course
as the second division, but to finish
at Spar buoy. The Spray, Commodore
II. Il. Picker's yacht; Vice-Commodore
Geo +. Renton's Kapolei and Sorenson
q Lyle's Hawaii made three-cornered
fight of 1t.
The opinion was very widely ex-
pressed that the rowing events should
have been pulled off in the morning.
When the yacht races started the
crowd began to thi out the people be-
gan to get tired of waiting The waits
between races were long and tiresome.
The lunch hour. of course, had a great
deal to do with the decrease of the
crowd, but the delays in starting were
not calculated to increase enthusiasm.
MyrtIes' Second Victory.
The six-oared, sliding seat barge
race, Freshmen, the seventh event, oc-
CURED during the time scheduled for
intermission. The Healani and the All.
Rogers, used In the second race, did
duty in the seventh, which event came
ahead OF the sampan tug-of-war.
Some bets Of 10 to 4, on the Myrtles
were placed before the starting shot.
At 1920 the Freshmen were getting
ready for the start. At 1927 they
were off. The start was a good one,
as even as could be desired. Both
jumped from the line with anxious but
steady energy. The stroke of both
was uneven at the start. After the
first stroke the Myrtles had a nose
ahead. On the third stroke the Hea,
lanis found themselves, and settled
down to business in promising style.
The Myrtles were pulling 2 to the
Healanis / stroke when the channel
was entered.
The Myrtles first passed the spar
buoy and were soon length and a
half ahead, but a moment later the
Healanis drew even and 1t appeared
to be anybody's race, but their effort
was too much for them and the Myr.
ties reached the lighthouse with a sub.
tantial lead.
After that the Myrtles had the race
their own way, the Healanis having no
more work in them, except to put on
a fruitless squirt, the Myrtles' lead be.
ing somewhat reduced. The race was
run by about seven lengths.
