AUGUST DREIER
GIVES $4,000 TO
SISTERS SCHOOL
Bishop Libert Receives That Sum With Which
to Begin Construction for Catholic
Institution at Kaimuk

The Catholic Sisters Girls boarding
school at Kaimuki is to be constructed
Work on the plans has already begun.
The present term of the school at the
convent where it has been maintained
for upwards of fifty years, will be the
last there. BY next fall the new
buildings on the Waialae Road will
be so far completed. it is hoped, that
the boarding school will be carried on
there The day school will continue
where it is, at the convent.
August Dreier has given Bishop
Libert ten thousand dollars with which
TO make a beginning of the necessary
buildings. This is one of many splen-
did benefactions which Mr. Dreier has
made.
The land, which is block s of Kaimu-
Xxi, was purchased several years ago,
The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1908-04-24

and the work of clearing it was done
at that time. Plans for buildings were
also prepared and it was the hope then
that the school might be constructed.
The financial part of the enterprise
was not then SO easily arranged, and
the project has waited.
Architect H. L. Kerr is now pre-
pairing the plans for the main building.
1t was originally planned to construct
this of cut stone, but the expense of
that has been found too great, and
reinforced concrete will be used. The
building will be handsome, architec-
turally, and will be designed for an
ideal school building, light and air
being planned for abundantly.
August Dreier left by the Korea
for a tour of Europe, and he made the
gift of the ten thousand dollars as a
souvenir before leaving.

TRANSPACIFIC
RACE MAY NOT
COME TO PASS
No Entries Made on the Mainland as Yet and
None Promised Panic Has Reduced
the Rich Yachting Class.

rceived by w H. McInerny. enclosing
a communication from the secretary OF
the South Coast Yacht Club, the pro-
moters of the race, stating that while
the best was hoped for, no entries were
in sight. Hundreds of invitations to
compete had produced only regrets and
there were only a very few more
yachtsmen to be heard from.
Fulton G. Berry has yet to speak,
and a, special effort is being made to
persuade him to enter his yacht Mike.
Commodore Sinclair stated some time
ago that he would enter last year S
winner, the Lurline, in order to make
a race if necessary, but Sinclair suf-
fered in the panic and it would be too
much to expect him to live up to his
word in the matter.
The Hawaii will be ready for the fray
when the time arrives to leave for the
Coast but unless a reassuring cable is
received next Thursday, the extended
date of the closing of the entries, it
would seem that the builders have
had all their trouble in vain as far
as seeing their craft in race this year
is concerned.
If the race falls through the Hawaii

little sport in racing her here, and the
proba bility is that she will be laid

comes an actual fact.

It begins to look very much as il
the Transpacifc yacht race would have
to be declared off on account of lack
of entries.
A year ago it looked as if fleet
of at least half dozen yachts would
race to Diamond Head light from San
Pedro next month. Now. outside Of the
local boat, no entry is in sight.
The business depression on the Coast
and the recent financial panic are
mainly responsible for the trouble.
owners have been hit hard and simply
cannot spare the time and money
needed to make the trip to Honolulu
and return.
Secretary Wood of the Promotion
Committee has written dozens of let
ters to yacht clubs and commercial
bodies on the Coast, with the view of
finding out just how matters stood in
regard to the race, but has so far
failed to receive reply of a reassur-
ing nature.
w. H. McTnerny, chairman of the
Transpacific yacht committee. has like
wise written many letters of enquiry
along the same lines but has received
only disappointing answers.
British Columbia writes that she will
have no boat this year, Seattle does
likewise; there is nothing likely to be
entered in San Francisco bay, and
worst of all, letter was recently re-
