MYRTLES AND HEALANIS TRY
FOR THE WATER SUPREMACY

Saturday. night at the Hotel Baths a
large and select gathering of specta-
tors watched the lads of the Myrtles
and Healards contest for supremacy in
the swimming field. The galleries, as
well as the space around the swimming
pool, were crowded and alive with the
gay attire of the gentler sex, as well
as with the more sober raiment of the
sterner ones. Throughout the contests
almost breathless interest was evinced
In the various events, and storms of
applause greeted the victors in each.
There were no heart-breaking waits
between acts, and one had hardly time
to- comment on one event before the
next was called.
The Monte Cristo act had perhaps
more human interest in it than any
thing else in the evenings entertain
ment. Geo. Crozier was the lad who,
in a spirit of daring, had submitted
his body for the experiment. The
crowd watched two men well-known
to everybody bind his limbs, they saw
them weight the sack, put the boy in
side, tie the sack, and then, after a
breathless pause, drop It into the
water. A half-minute passed, and then
each second became tense with the
anxiety of the spectators, and when
at last Georges head came above the
surface of the water 1t was rather a
roar of welcome back to the land of
the living that the crowd gave him
than applause for his quickness and
skill.
Then came the 25-yard dash, the full
length of the water-tank. e. Kopke
and Wallace Cooper, for the Myrtles,
and L. Cunha and Kenneth Winter, for
the Healanis, took their places, and at
the flash of the pistol four bodies leap.
ed headlong to the water, and in an,
other moment the crowd was on it's
feet, calling encouragement to their
favorites, or urging on the tardy ones.
The swimmers using the Australian
crawl stroke could not hear the shouts.
and they needed none to incite them
to their utmost efforts. w. Cooper of
the Myrtles took first place, and L.
Cunha of the Healanis second place.
Time, IL 2-5.
In the second heat Ted Cooper of the
Myrtles came first, with a time of
IL AS seconds to his credit. Henry

The evenings entertainment was
concluded by water polo match be-
tween Oahu College and the Diamond
Heads. The former won 6-1 after two
well-contested six-minute halves that
kept the spectators fairly in their seats
with excitement. This was the first
pater polo match ever played in Ho-
nolulu, and 1t is safe to say that 1t
will not be the last. The public will
have a say as to that. AH'
Announcer Harry Tomlins concluded
his official duties for the first night
by stating that the score now stands
80 to II in favor of the Myrtles, but
that the Healanis might easily put the
score on their side Of the sheet on the
second night of the meet.
Mr.. w. H. Rabbit performed the
duties of official starter. and, of course,
everything went swimmingly. The
same officials will look after the second
night of the meet on Saturday night.

LAURIER'S REPLY DISPLRASES
Defends japanese in Letter to Cana
dian Union Men.
Insists That Treaty Was Entered
1nto Only i'm Response 10 Popular
Demand for IL.

Ottawa. Sept. 3.-Sir WHfTid Iaurier
has telegraphed a noucommittal reply TO
the Canadian union men who asked at
Winnipeg for the abrogation Of the Jap
anese treaty. 1t practically amounts 10
a refusal and the union men are very
sore about IT,
The reply reads. Il have given due con-
sideratiol TO your request that immediate
steps De taken 20 terminate the treaty
with Japan I would observe that this
treaty, when brought into existence some
fifteen years ago. did not apply 10 Canada.
and thar some few years ago. IN response
To the repeated expressions Of public opin-
ion, and with a view 10 affording to
Canadian producers an opportunity Of
taking their share Of japanese trade. the
Canadian government became a party 10
this treaty. and that il was unanimously
ratified by the Canadian parliament.
'The treaty has proved Of great ad-
vantage and our trade with Japan under
IL has considerably increased. You base
your appeal for the denunciation of tie
treaty on the allegation that a crisis las
arisen In British Columbia-by rpaSOu Of
the unprecedented influx of Japanase
While 1t is true that most regrettable in
aideuts have lately occurred in Van
couver, there seems reason to doubt that
the cause was the influx Of Japanese. as
I am in possession Of a telegraphIc dis
patch from the mayor Of Vancouver
which has been rendered public. which
while expressly adverse, SAYS that the
disturbances were directed against ASH
atics generally rather than against Japa-
nese.
Under such circumstances, any pre-
cipitate action might be regrettabIe. and
before committing themselves 20 such a
course the government thinks they should
carefully inquire into the causes which
within the recent past have resulted in a
greater influx to our shores than previ-
ousiy Of Oriental people"
