The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1906-09-15
ALL READY
FOR CONTEST.
Oarsmen and Sailors
Keen for the
Battle.

Today is Regatta Day and it will be
celebrated with all the oldtime vim by
the Healani and Myrtle boat clubs and
to be pulled off in Honolulu harbor and
the program will start at $3.50 a. m.
Both boat houses will be open to
/ their friends all day and quintet clubs
will make things lively there. The
judges and officials will have their
headquarters on a steamer anchored in
the stream off the old Wilder wharf.
Ribbon- bearers are privileged to use
this boat.
Keen interest is manifested in all the
Myrtle and Healani races. But for the
lack of a practice boat on the part of
the Healanis there would have been
the usual Junior race. The races will
therefore be confined to senior and
freshman barge races.
The Myrtles look to have a shade the
better of the senior race. That is the
way some of the railsitters size up the
event. The Healanis are strong, how
ever, and had able coaching from Sec
rotary Atkinson who expressed his be-
lief in their being sure winners. A
close race is looked for in the freshman
boats.
The paddle-canoe races will be Of
unusual interest, owing to the fact
that one of the crews came from Ko-
ma, Hawaii, yesterday and will be
raced by Prince Kalanianaole. This
crew of Hawaiians is expert in the
outrigger craft and great things are
expected of it. The men arrived yes
terday on the Mauna Loa. The old
crew which Sheriff Brown has raced
will be in trim again with some
changes. DR.. Wall has another good
crew. His koa canoe is a beauty and
looks good for winner.
The steamer-boat races will be full of
ginger. The crews have been requested
to put UP the best race of the Regatta
Day series. These muscled Hawaiian
sailors, known the world over for their
expert use of the oars, may be ex-
pected to put up fine race.
