WEATHER MAY
STOP REGATTA
1t Is Very Likely That a
P0stponement Will
Result.

The chances are that the Waikiki
Regatta, which was to have taken
place tomorrow, will be postponed,
owing to the prevalent bad weather.
A. L. c. Atkinson, the promoter of
the affair, stated last night that, while
it had not been definitely decided, the
chances were greatly in favor of the
regatta having to be set over to anoth-
er date than that originally determin-
ed upon.
If the weather clears today there is
a chance that the event will come off
on scheduled time, but the sea will
have to moderate considerably, other
wise the fleet of canoes entered by the
Kamehameha Aquatic Club and which
are entered in eanrly every race in the
program. will be unable to make the
long trip from Kalihi. and without
them the program would be shorn Of
the major portion of its interest.

.kAPIOLANI
IS WRECKED
Famous Six-Oared GIG
Becomes Total
Loss.

The storm early yesterday morning
played hcvoc with a number of small
craft at Waikiki, several entrants in
the events OF the New Years Day re-
gatta being among the sufferers.
Fortunately the fleet of canoes from
Kalihi had not arrived or the dam
age would have been much more SER
ious.
A. L. c.. Atkinson's famous old six
cared gig Kapielani was smashed to
pieces. The boat was drawn high up
on the beach in front of the Moana
hotel but the high tide caught it and
the wind soon after blew it ashore
again. where it was quickly demolish-
ed by the pounding surf.
The boat was entered in the ladies'
gig race which was to have been de-
cided at tomorrow's cegatta. It has
figured in Regatta Day races for times
immemorial opposed to Prince Cupid 9
Kanoelani in the "six-oared gig race,
stationary Seats as the program
has it.
The Moana hotel lost native canoe
under circumstances similar to those
attending the loss of the Kapiolani.
The fleet of little 12-foot larks which
were anchored off the Moana hotel, in
readiness for the sailing race tomorrow,
had hard time of it, four, at least,
being total losses or unaccounted for.

THE LAST DAY
H. NJ. Ayres.

Why, hello
Old year!
Must you be going?
Well, of course,
We won't use force
To prevent you.
You're on the run,
And one by one
Your hours diminish
And we see
Your finish.
You've done your best,
You've done your worst,
By some you're blessed,
By others cursed;
You've peddled joy
And pain and sorrow,
But the laugh will be
On you tomorrow.
Say, old yearl
On the whole,
Amt you sick of the job?
You've given health
Where was wanted wealth,
And vice versa
You're a queer dispenser.
Today the rumble
OF a worldwide grumble
Bids you take a tumble.
You've shot your bolt,
You've had your jolt,
Since you frolicked in
Like a yearling colt;
In other words,
You're played out,
And there amt no doubt
About it.
We're not glad
Nor mad
AT your going,
Only just tired
Tired of the wares
You've had to offer
Keen to sample
The New Years proffer.
Well, here's a toast
Before you go:
.'1sO6,
Nixi"
So get a move
Upon yourself,
With your busted promises
Of pleasure and pelf;
Outside the door
There's a new year waiting,
And were all fixed up
For jubilating.
Goodbye, old year
Here's a sigh and a tear
AS a farewell gift;
Now shift;
Cheer o.

THE JUMEL MANSION.
ONCE THE SCENE OF REVELRY
AND MERRYMAKING.
Where Scores of Celebrities Were
Entertained, Dined and Wined
BY One of the Most Fascinating
Beauties Of Her Time.

To the people who believe with
Shakespeare that ''all the worlds a
stage and all the men and women
merely players" there Is nothing Of
greater fascination than an old house.
Here have been enacted the most
charming comedies and the most pit
iful tragedies, and ofttimes, as In the
case Of real actors, breaking hearts
have been covered by smiles and mirth
while bright, laughing eyes have ached
with unshed tears.
One OF the most interesting Of the
many historical mansions in this coun-
try Is the brave old Jumel house which
stands on Washington Heights, in New
York, and is known as one Of the few
remaining vestiges Of the old-time
architectural splendor of that city. 1t
stands well back from the street and
commands lofty and extensive view,
Its sole barricade now from an in
quisitive public being a high, luxur-
liant box-hedge. The mansion was
built In 1888, as wedding present for
Mary Phillips, Of Phillipsburg Manor,
Yonkers, who became the wife Of Col
onel Roger Morris. This lady was
Washington's first sweetheart and
when the Continental forces confls-
Gated the mansion from Mary Phillips
Tory husband feeling of sentiment
stirred the mighty Americans heart
and he took the house as his head

Near the narrow door stood huge

Jerome BOnaparte, that interesting
royal lover and husband Of Elizabeth
Patterson, dined with Nine. Betty they
came arm in arm to this corner and
paused. The gallant brother Of the
mighty Napoleon bowed and motioned
madam to lead the way. That lady,
ever mindful of what was fit and prop
er, would not take precedence of a
prince and so both, handsome French
man and blushing American, stood
bowling and curtesying over and over.

settled, but next day Nine. Betty or

In this wonderful old house may be

when the American forces retreated
to Kingsbridge the last man rushed
within arms reach Of the British SOL
diers in the hall, and, climbing out
upon the balcony, dropped over the
railing and made good his escape.
During the lifetime Of Nine. Jumel
Prince de Joinville slept in this house,
