REGATTA
DAYS END
THE FINAL RESULTS, WITH MYR-
TIES WINNERS ALL THROUGH
THE CONTESTS.

A most successful Regatta Day is
over, and the Myrtles have demonstrate
ed beyond a shadow of a doubt that
they have the best collection of oars
men in the Territory. 1t was a clean
sweep for the Myrtles in everything
and the other honors Of the day went
to Prince Cupid and his famous Kona
boys, and the crew Of the U. S. s.
Iroquois after they had lost several
lengths in the start Of their race by a
broken oar.
In the race for first class yachts the
Hawaii had the race won by a good
margin, not taking into consideration
the handicap she was allowed, follow
ed by the Kamehameha and the Gladys
in the order named The wind was
very fresh, and the yachts had very
little lacking to do, and the run. to
Pearl Harbor and back was made in
very good time.
In the Junior six-oared race, which
started about o'clock, the Myrtles had
very little trouble in winning from
their blue and white rivals by over
three lengths. The Healanis never had
a chance in this race, while the Myrtles
did not seem to exert themselves very
much. In the race for four paddle ca
noes the Kona crew were again victori-
GUS, although the Moi Wela crew gave
them a hard fight and the Kona boys
only had a few feet to the good when
the finish line was reached. The Kea-
wamalii crew finished third, a canoe
length behind. The next race for the
Junior pair-oared crews, the Myrtles
a sin all the races made a much better
start than their rivals, and won by a
boats length to the good, in the same
time made by the Seniors, "a.
In the next race, for modern canoes,
five canoes were entered and it was a
very good race, only a foot separating
the second and third crews. The Ka-
lahil1iola was first, followed by the
Huelopuaa, Jack Atkinson's entry, and
the Mahil1inaio third. In the home
stretch the winning canoe was being
bailed out every few seconds, and if
Jacks crew had made a little stronger
effort they would have won the race.
The next race for canoes with women
as crews was a very interesting one,
and the canoe captained by Mrs. Kipi,
gray haired lady, won by a number
of lengths over the canoe captained by
Mrs. Mele.
Among the second class yachts the
Maggie won with a good deal to spare
and the time made was the best that
has ever been made by second class
yachts over the course. A feature OF
the race was the fact that the yachts
started some time after the first class
yachts and beat every one home ex-
cent the Hawaii. The Princess turned
over Just as she reached the Spar buoy
on the way back, and the Gladys which
was close behind the Princess hove tc

launch owned by Sam Parker went ou'

harbor.
In the sailing race for canoes thu

lowed closely by the Mahikanaio en-
tered by Prince Cupid. The champion
Kona crew came to grief outside tn
entrance of the harbor, and the Younl
launch had to go out and tow the creV

was very strong at that time, and tn
sea was also very choppy, but the fire

very much.
