CROWDS ENTERTAINED
BY THE BOAT CLUBS

There was great interest taken in
the races at the three lighthouses on
the waterfront yesterday, and 1t was
hardly possible to find standing room
during the time which it took to COM
nlete the program The Myrtle, Ku-
nalu and Healani clubs all were filled
to the limit with the friends of the
different members, and refreshments,
lemonade and punch were served, while
music and dancing whiled away the
intervals between the races.
The largest crowd of the day was
at the Healani clubhouse, where the
| throng was so great that 1t was al
most impossible to find room for the
dancers at times. The club was very
| prettily decorated, signal flags being
! draped from the balconies ana VIII
| dows which gave a festive appearance
IN tbe builfiing which made ii unusual
~ attractive. The members who were
1 no+ on the crews outdid themselves In
! their attempts to make everyone pres
! ant comfortable, save at times when
races were on against the Myrtes,
| when no one considered comfort but
all crowded together to get good we"
of the barges as they flashed past
Toward the end of the program the
Healanis' hopes were dashed, and whlle
the spirit of fun was still kept up, IL
| couId be seen that they were greatly
| disannointed at the showing which nad
been made by the crews. Ihis "as
soon forgotten, however, ana dancing
| was enjoyed by those who wtsneo' ana
tho others watched the canoe races
| which were of unusual interest.
