LOOKING FOR
WHITE WINGS

Opinions as to the date of the arrival
of the winner of the transpaeifc yacht
race are freely expressed on the streets
these days.
w. H. McInerny expects to see the
first yacht put in an appearance on
Friday.
Captain Curtis of the s. S. Santa
Rita, which arrived recently, looks for
the yachts to make slow time. owing to
the very light winds prevailing. His
course down to the Islands was about
two hundred miles north of that taken
by the yachts.
L. A. Thurston recently received a
letter from Commodore Sinclair of the
Lurline, in which the latter notified Mr..
Thurston that he would take dinner
with him at his house on July Is, be-
tween and Z p. III.
The consensus of opinion is that the
Lurline win be the first yacht to be
sighted and that she will be off port
early on Saturday morning.

the entertainment committee.
Two great bleaehers have been cree
ted which will seat 1900 people, and

The wrestling bouts will also be pulled
off in this ring.
The tug-ofwar platform is 116x6 feet

for the athletes, also shower baths.
Space at the ringside has been
reserved for officers of the feet, Terri
torial officials, members of the feet com
mittees and gentlemen of the press.
The band of the flagship will play in
the arena every night.
The place will be brilliantly lighted
and deliberately decorated.
Marston Campbell has done some
very fine work getting the place ready
in so short a space of time and the SUI
perintendent of public works has re-
ceived invaluable assistance from A. l..
C. Atkinson, chairman of the sports
committee, and Paddy Ryan, chairman
of the indoor sports committee, to whom
the practical details of the affair have
been entrusted.
There will be sports program at the
old fshmarket every night, commencing
on Friday, and extending from 7:30 to
9 p. m.

Patton will box six rounds. Patton

tinction of having trained and been

champions, Corbett, Fitzsimmons and
Jeffries

ofwar between an All-American and
Portuguese team.
The third number on the card will be
