BECKLEY TROPHY

boat, and so was out of the race. On
the return trip she made a fine record
and finished close to the leaders. With
her time allowance she would have
been a sure winner but for the mishap
mentioned.
The Kapolei was somewhat behind
when the Barber's Point stakeboat was
turned but picked up on the way back.
The Helene, though out of the race
on account of not turning the stake.
kept close to her, while the Kameha-
meha held the lead with the La Palo-
ma second till about half way between
Pearl Harbor and the channel en-
trance. At this point the Kapolei came
up with a rush and passed the schoon-
er. The Helene kept close in towards
shore and evidently gained by doing
so, while the other three leaders stood
we'll off The Kamehameha was the
first around the Bell Buoy and ran
into the harbor in pretty shape.
The Kapolei finished second, a little
less than eight minutes behind the
Scott sloop, and the Paloma was only
five minutes and forty-six seconds be-
hind Rentons boat. AS La PaIoma
had a handicap of eighteen minutes
and the Kapolei only eight, Macfar-
lane won' the Beckley trophy with
more than four minutes to spare.
The Myrtle boathouse was crowded
at the time of the start, many of the
oldtime yachtsmen who have not taken
an interest in the sport for some time
being on hand. There were at least
sixty members of the club present be-
sides those who were on board the
yachts. Among them were Admiral
Beckley, Richard Ivers, Frank NJ.
Hatch, Col Sam Parker, Commodore
Cooper, Frank S. Dodge, George F.

NOTES OF THE RACE.
On the way back from Barber's
Point the Hawaii's jib carried away
losing her some little time.
The fishes of Barber's Point enjoy
ed a treat yesterday at the expense OF
/ prominent shoe merchant of this
city, who was on the stakeboat.
| The fact that Gladys had to be with.
drawn almost before the race was
started, was a great disappointment
to her owners. They lay it to the fac
that they had a hoodoo on board il
the person of Capt. Soule.
Clarence Macfarlane did not set hi:
light sails till late in the day. AS HI
Won the race no one should complain
He ran down to Pearl Harbor aftel
the race was over, and probably vii
find out that he has won from tn,
morning paper.
The Hawaii made a disappointing
showing. She should have done mucl
better from all predictions.
Capt. Charlie Lewis of the Kane
hameha, did not have Jack London OIL
board to give hints in regard to sail
ing the yacht as he did in the rae,
for the Governors cup.
Too much bowling does not agre
with yachting, according to Ollie Sor
enson, who sailed on the Hawaii.
1t seems too bad that the Healani
one of the best yachts here, was no
in the race yesterday.
A good breeze and little sea prove,
to be perfect for the Helene and l.
Paloma. The former had the rae
einched when her boom was broken.
Next year Col. Sam Parker wi
probably have a boat with which t
clean up the yachts in the presen
fleet.
