GIVES CUP FOR
SMALLER YACHTS
F. w. MaCtarIane Gives Trophy
for Contests of Yacht
Club.

The interest in yachting in this city
is at higher pitch at present than it
has ever been in the history of the Ha-
wall Yacht Club. This has been shown
recently by the fact that number of
gentlemen. who are not yacht owners
are taking an interest, and offering
cups for races here, and in other ways
helping along the yacht club.
The latest donation to yachting in
this Territory came yesterday from
Fred ". Macfarlane of this city, who
presented the club with a handsome
silver cup, standing fourteen inches in
height, and appropriately engraved and
chased. It will be a trophy for the
second class yachts to race for and the
smaller boats will probably be given
harder test than they have had for
merry
The conditions under which the cup
will be raced for have not been fully
decided on as yet, but it is understood
that they will call for a race starting
from the clubhouse at Pearl Harbor,
coming up to the bell buoy and lacking
around it, and then back TO the start
ing point. It is a long race for the
small boats but should prove to be
very interesting.
There is still another cup which, It
is said on the best authority. will be
given by a well known gentleman of
this city who takes great interest in
racing He has not yet made the gift
public but will probably do so within
the next week. This cup will be for
the first class yachts, and the course
will probably be from Honolulu to
Pearl Harbor, around Ford Island and
back TO the spar buoy.
This course has never been ued for
a race and should turn out to be very
It is in smooth water

which have stated that Ferreira was
ruled off the track both here and at
Hilo. He was ruled off the track in
Honolulu six years ago when riding
Sea Breeze, on account Of his horse
humping against Merino. He was re-
instated two years later and rode I'm
this city and had no trouble Of any
kind. He never was ruled off in Hilo
and had a good record there.
Ferreira never had the slightest
trouble while he rode in Maui, and he
rode there for many years. as far back
as 1891 He has been riding on the
Coast recently in the races outside OF
San Francisco and never has even been
fined for his work. which IL an I'M
usually good record, as any jockey Is
liable to have this happen to him every
now and again.
At the races on the Fourth Of July
Ferrefra was ruled off the track for an
alleged foul which occurred when he
was riding Laulii. He states that ne
was bumped by the horse on the out

GOOD BAGS
FOR HUNTERS

The shotgun experts of the city did
some fine shooting on Sunday and good
bags were brought home by almost
all. The doves were plenty and, as
it is the first of the season and the
birds are not yet gun shy, the shooting
was very good. The Hawaiian Gun
Club made an excursion to Waialua,
fourteen being in the party. The
smallest bag was twenty and two mem
beTs of the party brought home fifty
doves, the limit bag.
The Hawaiian Gun Club holds its

continue to do so throughout the season,
though the Sunday shooting has been

WILL VISIT HERE
ON LONG CRUISE
DR.. Johnson to Bring Lurline
to Honolulu This
Year.

One of the results of the transpaciic
yacht race of last year has come to
light through a letter received recently
by Clarence Macfarlane, who sailed La
Paloma in the contest. Among the
guests of Commodore Sinclair on the
burline was DR.. Milbank Johnson, of
Los Angeles, who made very many
friends in this city. He has chartered
Commodore Sinclair's yacht and expects
to come here on a cruise. But for the
race, he would probably never have
seen these islands and would not have
thought of making the prospective trip.
1t is understood that several other
yacht owners on the Coast are think
ing TO trip down here during the next
season.
The following extracts from Commo-
dore Sinclair's letter should interest all
yachtsmen:
June 26. 1907.
Mr.. Clarence w. Macfarlane, Honolulu.
Ny Dear CIarence:-Yours of May
9Th duly received, and reply has not
been delayed to even up matters with
you; merely the usual course of put
ting off a thing from time TO time which
we know should be done.
| thank you very much for the din
ner menu which is exceedingly attract
i've.
There is no question but that if you
had not come up from Honolulu in La
PaIoma last year there would have
been no race; yet it may also be said
that if the Anemone had not entered
there would have been no race, as you
will remember that You and l in dis
GUESSING the matter in San Francisco
both deemed it inadvisable TO attempt
the race if our two yachts were the
CIIy entries.
OF the three owners entering their
yachts, you are unquestionabiy entitled
-c the most credit as it was a much
more formidable undertaking for you TO
make the round trip early in the sea-
son in your small vessel. Mr.. Tut
had intended TO take the cruise to the

How to Hama Pictures.

Oil paintings and water colors
should never be allowed to become
intimate companions, but the latter
may hobnob with etchings, pastels,
drawings, photographs, and even en-
cravings, without losing their dignity.
An oil painting of exceptional excel
lence should be given a special posi-
ton.
Water colors and pastels in delicate
tints and black and whites and soft
etchings should be properly placed in
wall spaces where the light is strong

shaded pictures should hang farther

To Starch Lace.

There is great difference of opin.
ion about the starching of lace, some
people Objecting to any starch being
put in it on the grounds that it makes
the lace too stiff and tends to destroy
it.
Take some clear starch and thin it
down until it feels like slightly thick
ened water, or for heavy, thick laces,
a little thicker; soak the lace we'll in
this, then squeeze out gently with the
hands; spread it out between the folds
of towel or handkerchief, beat be-
tween the hands or pass it through a
wringing machine.
Avoid twisting it. After wringing
PULL the lace out gently with the fin
gers and roll it up with the wrong
side inside, commencing at the left
hand end and with the points or edges
away from you. This will be found
the most convenient way to have it
when ironing.
