FOR

The bids for the shed which will b,
placed on the Alalea street dock were
opened this noon in the office of Sup
erintendent Campbell of the Depart
ment of Public Works. To his sur
prise they were much lower than he
had expected, particularly in reference
to the plumbing and staff work. One

agrees to finish the work in 800 days
and the Concrete Company wants ten
days more. John Craig submitted a
figure of S74,76G and was willing to
do the work in $50 days. The only
other figure for the entire job was that
of w. G. Chalmers. who made bid
OF $75.S14.
Craig bid only on the entire job but
the other three bid on the three alter
mates which were allowed For com
pleting the job without cylinder

.HE EATS THE
DECORATIONS

Fred Church yesterday called on
some friends in company with the ex-
ecutive officer of one of the battleships
now in port.
A lady asked the Navy man if lie
would like some Chinese tulip bulbs
and proffered him a paper bag in
which there were several good-sized
bulbs all ready to be placed among
little stones in water in a dish in the
officers cabin to make it beautiful.
The Navy man was profuse in mis-
thanks, but when next noticed by Fred
Church the man-of-war was chewing
and Illuminating on the bulbs,

And now the fleet has flung out its
wireless feelers to cover the southern

YACHT RACE.
LURLINE WAS LEADING.

The Lurline was leading the Lady
Maud about two miles when, on Sun
day evening, July 5, the day follow
ing the start Of the San Pedro-Hono-

oped the yachts contesting. That was
about fifty miles southwest OF San
Clemente Island. The Gwendolyn was
several miles astern of the Lady and
the Hawai- iabout twenty miles behind
the leaders.
The yachts had been practically be-
Gained and had not made over tif-
teen or twenty miles during the night
of July 4.
HAWAII'S HARD LUCK.
The Hawaii was the worst off as she
had been becalmed and carried south
out of her course to within about TWEEN
ty-five miles of San Diego, but she
had picked up a freshening breeze IN
the middle of Sunday afternoon.
The Lurline seemed to be the most
fortunate for when she was first sight

second and the Lady Maud was lead

The yachts seemed, Sunday night, to
have about an equal chance with the

The men aboard the leaders We're
anxious to know the whereabouts OF

asked Carbutt to go ahead in his

eighteen miles to the westward and
when ne could not see her he swung
in a circle to the south and ran across
the Honolulu yacht
HAWAIIANS DELIGHTED
The Hawaiians were OverjOyed to
learn that the others had met with
little better luck than themselves and
that they only had twenty miles the

sails so as to get every ounce of pull
ing power from the slight breeze at
their command and got in pursuit at a
slight angle in order to get on their
course again.

yachts sailed about as follows;
