The day is split into gymnasium work

stated times The food is carefully
selected and prepared and is of the
plainest character. With Secretary
Root at the institution just now are
bankers, lawyers, real estate brokers,

tary, Root follows the rules as rigidly
as any of the others. He is in the
riding squad, and Nancy, a famous
steeplechaser, has been assigned to him.
These horses are trained so that if they
are released for an instant they breal,

HAWAII IS FAST"
SAYS WILDER

AY FOR CAMP PERRY,

Charlie Wilder was busy yesterday
receiving congratulations from his
friends on the excellent time the Ha.
waii made in coming back from Hilo.
He, of course, takes no credit for the
very good time made by the yacht,
but states very emphatically that the
Hawaii is fast.
Tuning up, tuning up, and then
tuning up is what she needs,'' said Mr..
Wilder. "You cannot take boat like
that and find all her speed as soon as
she is launched. l was greatly impress
ed with one thing, and that is that she
is a magnificent 'sea boat. / cannot
see why she is not a good light.weather
boat, either. / was on the judge s
launch when she started on the race
to Hilo, and was surprised at the
way she ate up the wind on the start.
People who watched her from Dia-
mond Head told me today that they
were simply astonished at the way she
held her huff in the light wind.
81 think that her inside ballast
needs to be higher. At present she has
great big keel, way down in the
water, and this gives her sea move
ments too much of a pendulum action.
1t would be too much of job to take
| any of the iron off her keel, but, with
! the ballast she has inside of her now.
/ spread up on her bilges, believe that
you would see marvellous difference
con the run back from Hilo we had
light winds most of the way. Even as
it was, if we had only had the square
sail feel sure that we would have
made the trip back in twentyfoul
hours. She certainly lifted up hel
skirts and moved along as prettily as
a premiere danseuse when she did gel
the wind.
cit is case of hats off to the boys
on the Gladys. They were the real
original sportsmen to go into that race
with their little sloop, and Tom Kinl
showed fine seamanship by the way HI
handled his craft when the weathe
rigging gave way. 1t is no funny jok'
, to be out in a sea-way with no weathe
rigging and the wind coming up stroni
not far from the lee-shore of an island
The way they got things fixed AM
came on into Hilo was as pretty
piece of seamanship as 1 have see
around these islands.
"The Gladys arrived about four hour
after the Hawaii and Kamehameha
after taking it easy up the coast o
the islands. Tom King and his ere,
, disclaim any credit for their work dun
, ing the race, but those who know theI
say that they are the kind of men VIII

Desert Plants,

Plants of the desert, as rule, pos, sess few leaves, the cactus, for in- stance, being mostly spines. There is very good reason for the lack of leaves in desert plants. The object is to check the transfera tion of moisture by offering as small a surface as pos sible to the dry air. For the same req son the roots of desert plants usually run deep into the soil so that they can suck up all the available moisture. In some instances the leaves assume vertical position and thus avoid the direct rays of the burning desert sun. On the other hand, the leaves of trees In very wet countries are provided with points-such as the maple-from which the rain drops off. Were the leaves fatter the rain would collect and make them rot.
