THE RACES.

Promptly at two o'clock signal gun
was fired and fourteen small boys rush
ed to their canoes; the war vessels were
forgotten.
Master Arthur Gilman. who had en-
tered, was at home with the mumps,
so the little champion surfrider of last
year, Harold Hustace, took his place in
the good canoe Malolo, and Master Ar
thur Brown of the Seaside Hotel sought
to man the Lelea. Two of his crew had
disappointed him, and his canoe was
left ON the beach. Master Richard
Herbert, however, got together a crew
of junior members of the Outrigger
Club, while "Major' launched in the
Lei lima a load of stalwart full blood
Hawaiian boys. The little paddlers
sent their canoes spinning from in front
of Arthur Brown IS lanai, and the ka-
naka crew took the lead, with the Hus-
tace canoe close at it's heels. There
was close finish at the Moana pier,
with Major still in the lead, the
winner of the cup, which the Hawaiian
boy promptly. demanded "in cash. and
received it.
The race of the day came next, the
signal man of the New Jersey stationed
at the judges box at the Moana pier
flashed his flags to the man stationed
at the Outrigger Club grounds, and
about a dozen six-paddle canoes shot
out from the beach. All of them reach
ed the starting point in safety save the
Maunapaiapu, which capsized and roll
ed completely over with its polyglot
crew, its captain, Akemomona,. protest
ing that someone had Ffixed" his out
rigger.
1t was a beautiful race-the red
sweaters and the Hawaiian flag of the
Outrigger Club canoe forging to the
front until fouled by a rival in the
race; then "A, - Prince Cupid s canoe,
entered by the Kamehamehas, and Ar
thur Brown s Alabama took the lead.
The race was to Browns and back,
and the up-stretch was a splendid chase
by the fouled Keomoku to catch the
leader 1t passed one canoe after an
other in splendid style, and to the cheer
ing thousands it seemed as though the
Outriggers might win after all, but at
the finish the Keomoizu was seen to be
almost tied with the Alabama, which
came in second, nearly length be-

terday was good under the very ex-

four and five cars being run between
switches. There was a jam at the end
of the regatta, but there was no con-
fusion among the car officials and the
big crowd was taken away quite as ex-
peditiously as could have been ex-
pected.

fleet won cash prize-and that was
as it should be.
The two-paddle, fat-bottomed canoe
race was won by the Kalahikala and
the Hikipaluka
The boys surfing contest was won
by Lane Webster and Harry Steiner,
and the modern Hawaiian canoe sailing
race by the Kiokalina and the Kameha-
meha. This race was started from the
Outrigger Club beach, more than a
dozen white wings being entered, the
Hawaiian flag flying from the mast of
each. The three war vessels of the
Lahaina feet passed across the horizon
during the running of this race, which
was straight out and back, but the
bobbing fecks of canvas held the at
tention of the crowd. Some of these
canoes on the return course took the
largest rollers and surfed for long dis
tanees, the winner catching long roll
er that swept her up to the beach a
quarter of mile ahead of her nearest
competitor.
Scarcely less exciting was the run of
the big canoes in the closing event of
the day. A dozen, perhaps, went out
to the big waves. One by one, how
ever, they fell behind, turned aside or
swamped, until only Dr. Wall s polish

came in almost to the beach before a

The weekly newspapers through
the country are busily engaged in
notifying their subscribers of the re-
cent post office order that no paper
can be carried on the books for more
than one year, without Icing sub
.jected to postage at the ounce rate.
Why the authorities should take up
on themselves the authority to make
such a ruling, we are at the loss to
understand, because it looks like an
autocratic supervision of private busi-
ness, but as the order has gone out,
there is no use to find fault, but SIM
ply to insist that it shall be complied
with. One gratifying circumstance
is that subscribers generally are com
plying with the request of the pub
fishers and are paying up.

There are seven holidays this
month-four Sundays, Lincoln and
washington's birthdays, and election
day. Leap year lengthens the month
but one day.
Ofall the months of the year none
has been the victOm of royal almau-
ac makers as has February. Not
only is it cut down to twenty eight
days three years out of every four,
but the mutilation in the year 1900
and again in 1900, which failed to be
leap years, started the poor month
limping away in these centuries with
only twenty eight days instead of
twenty-nine days.
February is one of the two months
January being the other, introduced
iuto the Roman calender by Numa
Pompilus when he extended the
year to twelve of these periods.
Its name arose from the practice of
religious expiration publication
which took place at the beginning
of this month-February, meaning
to expiate, to purify.
Numa let fall on February the doom
which was unavoidable, for some
one of the months having three times
out of four day less than even those
which were to consist of thirty days.
This is, he so arranged it that il
should have only twenty-nine days
excepting in leap year, when by the
INTERPOLATION of u day between the
% and the "a, it was to have thirty
days.
! But when Augustus Caesar chose
to add thirty first day to the months
of the year, he took it away from
February, which could least spare it,
thus reducing it to twenty EIGHT days
in all ordinary years.
