| Emperor's Cup about a year ago. We
| had exceptional privileges and we took
the pictures from the deck of the COM
mittee boat '-Vigilant." This, as you
| know, was an interna tional event and
| yachts We're entered from Germany
| and England. We also had the idea
| of taking the finish of the race at
The Needles" in England and arrang-
| ed to do this with our London office
| but we might say fortunately they
were not able to take the pictures on
account of the winner arriving very
much ahead of schedule time, and we
saved this expense.
We sent five prints of the start of
the race to London and they got there
almost a week ahead of the finish of
the race, but the London Office We're
not able to dispose of a single print
and we did not have very much bet
ter luck ourselves. Even in the yacht
races for the Americas Cup the inter-
est died out very quickly and the films
are of very little value except during
the time that the races are taking
place Our photographer who is going
TO San Francisco is Mr. r. K. Bonnie
and his address in San Francisco will
be care of Peter Bacigalupi, 1907 Fill
more street San Francisco, Cal. We
are giving your letter to Mr.. Baciga-
lupi and if you should have occasion
to communicate with him you can do
so direct to the above address 1t is
quite possible that we may decide to
send him on to Honolulu, but at the
present time we cannot give you a
definite answer.
Yours very truly,
