Yacht Clubs Scheme
For Raising Funds

The following letter tells what the
yachtsmen are doing to make good in
the Trans-Pacific Yacht Race:
Prompted by a sense of pride and
patriotism, the Hawaii Yacht Club,
Limited, has decided that it becomes
its duty to take the initiative in quail
flying with a representative yacht for
the coming yacht race of 1908, which
will be repetition of the now ia
nous Trans-Pacific yachting event of
1906.
The Yacht Club has appointed the
following committee to handle and
finance this matter in all it's features:
Henry e. Cooper, chairman; w. H.
McInerny, secretary; Chas. T. Will
der, treasurer s. B. Dole, Samuel
Parker, r. W. Shingle and James A.
Lyle.
This committee after long and
careful deliberation concluded that
this Territory must be properly rep
resented in this race, and have In
consequence organized to carry the
scheme to completion.
To emphasize the Importance of
this event, the committee wish to
draw your attention to the following
facts:
ORIGIN
In 1906 the Hawaii Yacht Club,
Limited, conceived the idea that a
Trans-Pacific Yacht Race from San
Francisco to Honolulu would be a
great innovation, would bring the
yachting fraternity of the Pacific
Coast into closer and better ac-
ouaintance with our yachting feat
ures and advantages. Add a stimulus
to the sport and bring our club into
national recognition.
RESULTS
The Yacht Club issued invitations,
offered two valuable cups, the event
took place; Hawaii was represented:
the sporting journals of the world
were teeming with records of the
race, a description of the Islands, of
our beautiful waters, of our climate,
OF our sporting pluck. and of the
worlds most wonderful sail made by
the winning yacht Lurline, of 200
miles on one tack.
ENTHUSIASM
The people of the city of Los An
geles, keen to so important an event
took to the scheme with will and
enthusiasm that was wonderful and
on the eventful day of the departure
of the fleet from San Pedro thousands
upon thousands of people lined the
highlands, beach and any available
boat, sending abroad hundreds upon
hundreds of silent workers in the
form of photographs.
