TODAY's AQUATIC
SPORTS At BEACH
The Hawaiian Carnival Got UD
by the 0utrigger
Clubmen.

Everything is ready at Waikiki for
the great carnival of Hawaiian aquatic
sports this afternoon The grass houses
of the Outrigger Club are occupied by
several scores of Hawaiian men and
women of the old stock, and the beach
of the club grounds is the resting place
of about forty outrigger canoes Of
every sort and description.
All day long the officers of the sew
eral warships in port dropped into the
club to borrow boards or go. out surfing
but almost invariably they stopped
ashore TO watch the doings at the Ha-
waiian village. To them there was
novelty in everything, the women pre-
pairing poi, the men fishing in the la
COON, and all dipping with their fingers
into the common poi-bowl. The entire
day at waikiki there was ineessant
mending of canoes, flashing on of out
Triggers. and trial spins out to the surf
and back.
The first canoe fleet to arrive was
that of the Kamehameha club, from
Kalihi bay. They came a dozen strong
in padding canoes, followed by their
larger sailing craft, that took the outer
course. Each few from it's topmast the
flag of Hawaii and to many the Ha-
waiian fleet crossing the bay of Wal
kiki was as pretty a sight as the pass
ing of the war fleet was a grand spec
tacle.
There were many speed tests, both
sin the surf and smoother water, be-
tween the kanaka crews and the haoles,
but what pleased the hundreds of feet
visitors most was the practise work
of the naive crews of women paddlers,
while local sportsmen watched with
keen interest the way in which the
visiting boats handled their sails in a
stiff breeze that often lifted the out
rigger clear out of the water.
Canoes kept arriving all day long,
until the grounds of the Outrigger Club
were fully occupied and the two hotels
had to be appealed to for ground space
for the late corners.
Today the local canoes viii begin
arriving at Waikiki beach from nearby
places, so that by noon there viii
doubtless be more Hawaiian canoes
there than were ever assembled to-
gether at one spot IN time of peace in
these Islands. Now, however, that the
Outrigger Club owns an extensive beach
front and buildings in which to house
visiting eanoemen, the present gather

ing may not always be noted for the
number of canoes assembled.
The feet regatta committee spent
yesterday afternoon at Waikiki and
will be at the beach from early morn
ing today, concluding the arrangements
for their carnival of water sports that
comes off just ten days after its incep-
ton. Tanks of ice water viii be To-
Gated at several points along the beach
and number of young boys will see
to it that none of our visitors go
thirsty. The officers of the feet are
invited to the grounds of the Outrigger
Club as the guests of the members.
The judges stand will be located at
the end of the Moana pier, and the de-
cision of the judges will be final.
The prizewinners will receive their
rewards in cash on the spot, or they
may order cups, which will be suitably
engraved, or, if the crews prefer, each
paddIer win receive suitable medal.
The first race, which will be the boy
padding, starts promptly at 2 P. m.
Then will follow
The six-paddle race.

positions of advantage for seeing the
unique events in water sports that Ha-
wall can offer the world.

THE LAUGHING HYENA.

The Laughing Hyena meanders at

Equipped with a ravenous appetite.
He hasa It the will nor the skill for to
His food for himself, so he wanders
4 lion or leopard comes Looping that
way,
And he follows behind till they fall on
their prey,
Then fingers, a-grin, near the gruesome
arena,
In hopes they win share with the
Laughing Hyena.
He frequents the places where lions
foregather-
And if one SO much as remarks on the
weather
He cries, 'sWhat hit!' and he laughs
fit to split,
Till the lion begins to believe he's a
wit,
And gains such taste for applause,
that, aiaek,
He keeps the Hyena close up for a
claque.

This syeophant habit obtained such a
hold,
That once at funeral twas not con-

For he laughed and he laughed, and he
ehaffed the giraffe,
Till the relatives rose in the widow g

And they said: CAN the funeral
trappings are here
And we guess there is room for one

And every one claimed that they sell

My child, if you find you're acquainted

Who laugh very hard at your silliest

Ere the smoke of their incense has

powers of the Secretary of the NAVY
that he would be compelled to purchase

him expressing only disgust and finally
fear that the giant Macaboy would do
him physical harm-serious physical harm
because of his refusal to continue the
game.
Does this sound plausible to you gen
tlemen of the jury? During most of the
time they were together and during
the time the defendant has testified he
was trying to escape from the presence
of Macaboy they We're within one or
two squares of police station. Surely.
if he found it advisable to threaten to
appeal to the police because Macaboy
at one time grabbed his diamond ring
and refused to return it he could have

as desperate"
Speaks Of Common Disgrace.
I'VE have shown that these two men
had much in common Mr.. Mcnamara
continued. "a common bond. a common
vice. a common revel. common dis
grace.
lou must take into consideration the
interest which the defendant bore in
testifying in his own behalf. and the court
in the final charge will SO instruct you:
that you must bear in mind this self-in-
terest which might very easily lead to
distortion or colorings of the different sit :
uations He has told you that he went
back to the Arlington Hotel in an effort
to escape from Macaboy yet. instead of
making any open effort to break away. we
see him inviting his friend, the cab
driver. to have a drink with him at the
bar Then they return together to the
mouse of Hazel Davis Philip says his
idea was to escape Macaboy there. They
return for the second time to the Airing
ton Hotel and Philip goes to his room and
procures his revolver.
III he desired to escape from Macaboy
now much simpler it would have been
for him to touch call button and have
the cabman excluded from the hotel Or
he could have gone to the lobby of the
hotel and sat down to read. and Maca boy
could not have assaulted him or attempt
ed to rob him.
Alleges Fabrication.
Mr.. Mcnamara concluded his address
with an argument in support of his con-
tention that all of Philips story was es-
sentially fabrication. The attorney de-
clared Philip had by some strange process
succeeded In remembering every detail of
the events of the morning of the shooting
which would tend to support the sole con-
tention that his act was one of self-de-
Tense. and in forgetting everything else.
Immediately following Mr.. Mcnamara.
and after a half-hour recess of the court.
Attorney A. A. Hoehling. of counsel for
Philip. began the closing arguments for
the defendant Mr. Hoehling reviewed
the evidence in calm. dispassionate
manner, calling attention to the many
acts Of Macaboy. to which different wit
nesses testified. which would tend to sup
port the contention of the defense that
Philip has been possessed of mortal fear
that the giant cab driver would do him
serious physical harm In an apparently
determined effort to rob Philip of his
money.
Mr.. Hoehling was in the midst of his
address when this report closed.
