WORK ON YACHT
IS PROGRESSING
Nice Sum Was Realized by
Baseball Carnival on
New Years.

The interest in the building of the
transpacifc yacht is increasing every
day, if the number of visitors at the
scene of operations is considered. The
New Years Day benefit brought in a
nice sum of money for the work, about
$425, clear of all expenses. Other ben
efits are being planned, but the yacht
committee has not made any certain
engagements as yet, preferring TO go
slowly and wait for a suitable time
for such entertainments.
The work on the vessel is progress
ing rapidly, so fast. in fact, that it
looks as If it would have to be
stopped. in order to wait for the fit
tings which have been ordered from
Boston, through Crowninshield. the
yachts designer. 1t was thought best
to order the fittings which could not
be obtained in this city through
exactly what was1neeGed and be able
to furnish what is required. through
the big ship chandlery houses of the
New England city.
A name for the new vessel must be

before the launching will take place.
and that should be a gala day among
the yachtsmen of the city and those
who have contributed so generously.
Really, there have been but two names
suggested, and the weight of public
opinion is very much unbalanced in
regard to these two-Hawaii or Ha-
wall Mel. Purser Beckley of the XII
nau insists on his aboriginal family
name, Mooheau.
Beckley has always been a friend of
the Hawaii Yacht Club, and his many
kindnesses have been greatly appre-
ciated, but when it comes to swallow
ing the Mooheau name, many of the
members kick. They don't want the
vessel mistaken for a cattle ranch or
nicknamed Moo Cow.
A nice present for the new boat was
received yesterday from Mrs. Alex
ander Isenberg, and consisted of all
the koa which will be necessary to
use on the matches. the companion
way and the skylights. With this b.
eral. donation4 that of the Hawaiian
Mahogany Lumber Company OF the
same wood. and other like gifts, the
boat will be ftted in manner which
! will far surpass any yacht ever seen
in this harbor She should make a
great advertising attraction for the
islands when on the Coast.

COUNTRY CLUB
GOLF TOURNEY
All Invited to Take Part in
Matches TO Be Played
Today.

A golf tournament over the hardest
course which has ever been arranged
for play in the Territory Of Hawaii
viii take place this morning at the
links OF the Oahu Country Club. The
entries will be received on the grounds
by the members of the greens COM
mittee. and it is hoped that the larg-
est attendance which has ever been
seen at an event of the kind in the
city win be on hand.
The tournament will be of handi-
cap nature and all are asked to be
there as early as possible. The first
drawing will be held at $3.50. the second
at 10 O'Clock and the third at 1890.
This viii give all who appear an OPP
portunity to play. All golfers now in
the city are invited to be on hand and
to take part, whether they have re-
ceived a special invitation or not.
Some of the tourists who arrived on
the Alameda yesterday may be inter-
ested in golf. and they are assured OF
as hearty welcome as IL they had been
in the city FOR years.
Alexander McLaren. the professional
who has been giving lessons TO the
golfers of the city will be among the
players. and for the first time since
his arrival from Australia will be seen
in a public match. He will be placed
FIVE strokes behind scratch. and II he
wins out from the players whom he
win be pitted against today VIII have
to play a game Of golf which viii be
q wonder. He has become great ia
vorite with the local players and they
have learned many new tricks of the
game from him.
The course will measure 5000 yards
in length for the eighteen holes. and
the new hazards and bunkers which
have been devised for the special play
viii be very different from those
which the Country Club players have
been used to- No one will be allowed
to go over the course or to play on
the greens before the tournament
takes place, under penalty Of being
disqualified. This ensures all the
strangers who take part In the match
an even break with the players from
the Country Club. who would. on the
course to which they are accustomed
have a big advantage.
There are three prizes offered for the
competition today. and ali of them are
unusually good in value. Two VIII be
for the regular places OF hrst ana
second, and the other is rather
freak and will be given for the man
turning in the worst score, under cer-
tain conditions which viii be made
known on the grounds. This win mean
that players who have in many cases
refused to turn I'm their Scores be-
cause they were not playing up to
their game. will be encouraged to hand
! in their cards.
| Those who are going to pia5 In the
/ tournament today are requested by the
| greens committee TO cut out the map
of the course which is published on
this page and carry it with them on
the course for reference. In this way
a good deal of confusion over the new
/ course may be avoided.
