Browns crew in the Hanakeoke. Young
Brown seemed to study conditions bet
| ter than the other contestants in this
| event and took a short Straight-cut
| from post to finish. Had it been over
a zigzag course. or even kite shaped
| the Diamond Head boys would have
had a chance but that particular crew
was outclassed yesterday in picking out
a right of way for the canoe shot along
like a horse with blind staggers.
Surf-riding on boards was an unusual
sight to the visitors and some of the
stunts were new even to the kama
ainas. Harold Hustace, winner of this
event, stood on the board, head up and
head down and as an extra turned a
somersault or two.
The waits between the races We're not
unnecessarily long and the crowd SEEM
ed to enjoy every number to the limit.
The car service was excellent, for
which the Rapid Transit Co. is to be
complimented.

DETAILS OF THE REGATTA.
The program was opened by a mini
allure yacht race in which there were
five entries. The prize, a silver cup,
was given to Edison Hutchinson who
owned the Iris. The little crafts time
was 2:40.
The five-oared gig race for ladies, in
which two crews from the Kaialoha
Rowing Club competed with each
other, was a pretty sight. The senior
girls rowed against the junior crew
who had called themselves the indie
pendents The Kaialohas rowed the
Manning boat which. though, it is a
little heavier, turns much quicker than
Prince Cupid's, the one the juniors
used. The Kaialohas won by nearly
two lengths and took but 1920 to row
the course from Moana pier to the
flags opposite Justice Wilder's -
dence and return to pier. A beautiful
silver cup was the award The lineup
of both teams was as follows; indie
