WOULD BUILD
BOAT IN HAWAII
Opinion Is Growing That Cup
Racer Should Be Local
Product.

There is rapidly growing idea
among those interested in sport that
of Hawaii is to be represented in the
transpacific race next year, the boat
should be built here.
BY SO doing Hawaii wiz receive much
more advertising than would be the
case, were the yacht to be built or pur-
chased on the mainland. Particularly
would this be the case were the local
craft to win the race.
Not only is the advertising feature
to be taken into consideration but al
SO the fact that if a boat be built here
every cent put into her would remain
here
c. D. Walker, the local boatbuilder,
who has turned out many fast craft,
had the following to say on the sub
ject yesterday:
Hawaii should build her own boat
and it would be a fine thing if the
yacht could be sailed by members of
the Hawaii Yacht Club. These races
are a splendid thing for the country
but If Hawaii is to have a yacht she
should have a good one or none at all.
IF a sum of say $4,000 is raised here
and boat built or purchased on the
mainland, it will be like throwing so
much money away, for after the race
the yacht won't bring what was origin
ally paid for her.
I'VE can build yachts in this coun-
try The Hawaii, Healani and Kane
hameha, all good boats, were built
here. Six months should be long
enough to have cup yacht built and
put in the water all ready for sailing.
IF I We're to build q yacht for the
race I should build her to win and to
get the best possible time allowance.
La Paloma is too small for such
race. 1t would cost less to build a
yacht in Honolulu than to have one
built on the Coast.
Il want to see Hawaii win the next
race and, if so requested to, will be
glad to submit plans and specifications
of a yacht together with an estimate
of what she will cost. The local lum-
Der and hardware people would in all
furnish material at as rea-
sonable rates as possible, in order to
help the thing along
Would I sail the yacht in the race |
if asked to? You bet I would I'd
sail the sticks out of her and be only |
to glad of the chance

and Harvard have invited oxford to a
track meet on July 4. Manager sum-
mer of the Yale track team stated that
the message sent to England was in
the nature of an invitation rather than
formal challenge to oxford and Cam
bridge The letter, which was signed
for Yale and Harvard by the managers,
stated that the Americans preferred the
games should take place July at the

lates that New York city would not
be objected to or would any other date
be refused if more satisfactory to the

MUCH MONEY SAYS
KAMEHAMEHA WINS

The race fer the Governors Cup, to
interest among yachtsmen; indeed it
is doubtful if q local yacht rase has
ever been looked forward to so eagerly.
The Kamehameha is favorite for the
race and may be expected to make a.
bold bid for victory. The boys at the
Iron Works are said to have $1,000
which says that Scott's boat wins. So
warmly is the watermelon boat" fam
cied to win that she is being backed
at even money against the field
The big yachts are reftting for the
race and will all go on the marine rail-
way for thorough overhauling.
The Helene has a new suit of sails
and ropes and La Paloma will also
race with d different suit Of sails from
what she has recently been using. On
June % she will pack more canvas
than ever before and Commodore Mac
farlane will make the effort of his life
to land the trophy on his own side
board
The Gladys mainsail. which has been
reftted. was tried out on Sunday and
found to be o. K.
The BeckIey Cup was originally
slated to be sailed for before the Cow
ernor's Cup but the order Of contest
has been changed. To have had the
Beckley Cup race sailed first would
probably have resulted IN some artistic
laying-up on the part of the entered
yachts in order not to incur a handi-
cap in the Governors Cup race.
