Commodore Sinclair's smart schooner
yacht Lurline brought great honor to
the burgee of the South Coast Yacht
Club of San Pedro. California, by be-
ing the first to cross the finishing line
in the first yacht race across the Pacific
Ocean. Whether she will win the covet-
ed trophy will not be known until IL
o'clock this morning, for the Lurline
has to allow La Paloma 16 hours and
for all anyone knows, the tiny Hawai-
ian craft may be at this moment in
sight of the islands.
No one expected the fieetest of yachts
to get in before today and when, along
about Z o'clock last night four whistles
blew. 1t was generally thought that an
island steamer had been sighted. A
little later four more blasts were heard
followed by two toots, the arranged
signal If the Lurline should be sighted
from the Diamond Head lookout first.
Instantly all was excitement In town
and the race became the sole topic of
conversation. AS soon as the news was
confirmed, hundreds of people hurried
to the waterfront, to witness the last
event in the voyage of the now famous
yacht.

enthusiasts We're keeping vigil at z p.
IN. The burning of white Coston light
revealed the presence of the Lurline,
the signal having been previously
agreed upon. The yacht was three
miles off when identified. AS soon as
the Lurline came within earshot three
cheers were given which were heartily
returned. The crew of the yacht took
the cheers as meaning that they had
arrived at the finishing point of the
race, even IL not the first to do so.
Immediately the whistles ANNOUNCE
