The weight averages are:

Healanis. 155 pounds.
Freshman barge-Myrtles, 143 pounds;
Healanis, las pounds.
Interest in the barge championship is
growing as Regatta Day approaches
and the races give promise of being
as keen1y contested as ever.
The crews have trained long and
faithfully and will enter the boats on
Saturday fit to row for their lives.
The senior race looks to be a gift for
the Myrtles. The freshman race at this
writing also looks good for the Reds
and a similar remark applies to the
senior pair-oar race. If the Healanis
are destined to take a race it will be
The junior pair-oar event.
Captain King of the Myrtles stated
last night that he contemplated pro-
testing the inclusion of Dick Sullivan
in the Healani freshman crew, on the
ground that he is professional.
A substitute for the junior sliding
seat barge race will be provided in a
six-oared stationary seat barge race be-
tween haole and a Hawaiian crew.
The veteran oarsnian, George Harris,
has arranged this event, which will I'M
doubtedly be of a very interesting ma
ture
The haole crew will be recruited from
the boys who trained for the abandoned
junior race. The natives will use the
crack boat Kanoelani, in which the
German naval crew defeated the Re
storer's crew some months ago. The
haoles will row in the kapiolani, the
beat used by the unsuccessful ReStor-
er'S crew.
The padding canoe race is attracting
great attention on account of crew
from Kona being due to arrive on Fri
day. They will have as their most
opponent A. NJ. Browns Ala
bama, which has won this race for the
past six years. Other entries are ex-
pected. At present the Kona crew is q
favorite at odds OF 20 to 10.
The Alabama is said to have been
badly damaged in the recent heavy
surf and to have lost two members of
her victorious crew.
All yachts intending to enter the
races on Regatta Day can do so at
the committee boat in the harbor be-
fore o'clock on the morning of the
races.
