BECkLEY RACE
GREAT AFFAIR
Many Watched the Event From
Vantage Points at Their
Homes.

With the exception Of the talk OF lhe
transpacidc yacht, the plans Of which
are expected 10 arrive BY the China
today. the race last Sunday for the
Becklev Cup is stu the sole topic Of
conversation N local yachting circles.
While every yacht in the contest but
one had an accident of some kind. ali
agree that the race was the best ever
seen in this city.
La Paloma, the winner of the con-
test, lost her Jib once and had several
other minor accidents. The Kapolei
alone came through without trouble.
Commodore Picker. on the spray, lost
his main and his balloon jibs. The
Helene broke the boom of her mainsail,
the Kamehameha had trouble with her
mainsail that lost her some time. while
the Gladys had to return to the harbor
Immediately after the start, on account
of the breaking of her bobstay.
The general public took a great in
terest in the race on account OF the
fact that it was sailed of the harbor.
where 50 many could see the various
boats. The usual crowd was bathing
in the morning at Waikiki, when the
yachts went past on their way to the
stake boat at Diamond Head. They
were all so close in that they could
be easily distinguished with the naked
eve. ana almost all the swimmers spent
2. large uart of their time on the beach
watching the race instead Of being in
the water.
The residents of Waikiki, and those
living on the higher ground in the city
took advantage Of the opportunity and
| followed the race from the lanais OF
their homes. At the Country Club
the members could distinguish the
yachts as they were coming in TO the
finish and a great deal of interest was
taken.
On account Of this there was more
interest taken in the Beckley race by
the general public than in any event
of the kind which has been held for
some time. 1t is 10 be hoped that me
