JUNIOR SIN-OARED.
The next race of the day. the Junior
Six Oars, was not rowed until after
the noon intermission. the Healanis
being sort one OF their men. This puller,
who had been in training, is an en-
ploye Of the Rapid Transit Company
and leave of absence was denied him.
As alleged on the judges boat, by
Manager Pratt. During the noon in
PERMISSION q delegation from the boat
club called on Mr.. PRATT. but all eff
forts TO fill the crew was useless.
The boats lined UP about two o'clock,
the Blues seemingly the heavier crew.
The race was close but the Myrtles'
colors still waved, their crew coming
home good three lengths TO the good.
The crews were:

worth. Ted Cooper. I. Spaulding. H.
Williams.
Healanis-J. Clark, Ed. Desha, sum-
mer. E. Hamauku. Ben Clark. Carl Oss.
The best race of the day, by all odds,
was that between the four-paddle
canoes. four canoes starting. The Ko-
na crew again won after q desperate
struggle between them and the Moi
Wela crew. At the buoy the Konas
made a beautiful turn and got away a
clear length ahead of the other three,
who punched. Then the Moi Welas
spurted. Tapped the leaders and refus-
ed to be shaken, squirting at the finish
and losing only by a few feet. The
Keawamahi crew also did good pad
ding in the stretch and was only be-
hind a bare length. The race was
good and the finish about the only
really exciting one of the day.

The final inter-club contest of the
day was the Junior pair-oared, sliding

tation.
This race also went to the Myrtles,
but was close. The Reds took the
lead from the gun and kept it despite

ism, the time being 2:45, the same as
the time made by the senior pairs.
