kME RICA'S CUP
NEWS NOTES

The leading yachting article in The
Field of London, of recent date, has
the following interesting remarks upon
| the America Cup and International
yacht racing in general:
THE rumors which have recently
been current that another challenge
will shortly be issued for the Americas
Cup are probably without foundation.
The position of that coveted trophy is
at the present time fairly secure, and,
we may add, unless a considerable re-
ViVal takes place in British yachting.
1t is likely to remain so for a prolonged
period. In making this statement we
do not mean to cast any aspersion
upon the great yacht designers of this
country, for the record in the 52-foot
linear rating class during the past
season shows that Fife and Mylne
have been more than a match for Her
reshoff on level terms in boats of that
size under British Y. r. A. rules. The
racing in the 52-foot class was merely
a repetition of the America Cup on
smaller scale, and the all important
reservation that the conditions were in
favor of the defenders undoubtedly OBJ
tanned
The British designers We're building
under their own rules. racing in their
own waters, and they had greater ex-
perience, or, to put it in another way,
more practice in designing 52-footers
than the American challengers. The
result was favorable to the British
defenders.
Conversely in British challengers for
the America Cup it is clear that the
conditions are such as to secure the
success of the Americans. Hereshotf
is practically unassailable in his own
waters: he is building under his own
rules and he has undoubtedly had a
wider experience of 90-footers than
any other designer. Tt is, therefore,
only in the natural sequence of events
that the result of the America Cup
should be favorable to the American
defenders.
There can be but one America Cup.
and we still hope the time viii arrive
when a British yachtman will recover

The March Contests May
Have lnter-lsland
Aspect.

Arrangements for the biggest ath-
letic meeting ever held in the islands
are now under way and the affair is
already a favorite topic of converse
ton in local athletic circles.
The meet will be held under the
auspices of the Boys Clubs at the
end of March, the scene of the con-
tests being the athletic field on Liliha
street.
The Boys Clubs have made a prac
tice of holding. annual athletic meet
ings, but it has been decided by the
management that this years affair
shall eclipse all its predecessors.
The affair will be run on strictly
amateur lines and will be open to
athletes of the Territory. All the local
athletic organizations are likely to be
represented.
Last years meet was won by the
Kamehameha with the Male Ilimas
a good second. This year the Dia-
mond Head Athletic Club, which won
the Y. M. c. A. field day last month,
will be the most dangerous contender.
An effort will be made to get repre-
sentatives from the other islands to
compete and with that end in view E.
B. Turner, the superintendent of the
Boys Clubs, has written letters to the
newspapers and annette organizations
of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai, telling
of past meetings held under the aus
pices of the Boys Clubs, enclosing the
program of events for the coming
meeting and cordially inviting entries.
Interest in track athletics in Ha-
wall Is probably greater now than has
ever been the case before, and the in
clusion among the entries of teams or
individuals from the other islands
would give this form of recreation a
tremendous impetus.
The other islands are known to have
some splendid athletes who have never |
before had a chance to show what they |
could do in public. Scharsch, the |
crack miller of the territory, came from
Kauai on purpose to run, a year ago. |
He succeeded in obtaining employment |
in town and has been here ever since. |
The meeting will occur at a slack |
time, coming as it does after the COM |
pletion of the Association football |
schedule and before the baseball sea-
son starts A better time for a track
meet could not have been chosen.
An effort will be made to have the
medals exceed anything offered here
heretofore for field or track events. 1t
is probable that a new die will be
struck in honor of the occasion.
The list of events, which, it will be
noticed, includes the mile walk and re-

The finals were played at p. m,
and We're between George F. Renton
and DR.. Mclean and Messrs. Schiefer
and F. Brolan, the former combina-
ton finally winning out.
The teamwork of the winners was
of a very high order, Mr.. Renton es-
pecially distinguishing himself by plac-
ing and running up and smashing the
balls at the net.
The feature of the day was the SEN
sational playing of Mclean and Bro

that they surprised their opponents is
to put it mildly.
The winners were presented with a
beautiful set of silver cups.

almost entirely to the commercial posi-
biIlties of Alaska, but now we are try
ing TO interest tourists regarding the
scenic attractions of Alaska" continued
Mr.. Chealander. ''The public generally is
probably more or less familiar with the
grandeur and beauty of Alaskan scenery.
but tourists are likely to overlook Alaska
in the belief that visit to it means a
trip through 1cebergs, dog sledges, etc.
