OUTRIGGERS'
SHOW TONIGHT

The dances and moonlight party of
the Outrigger club come off tonight at
Waikiki. Adult friends of the club
who wish to be with the children on
the dance floor of the Seaside hotel are
requested to purchase Junior tickets,
and children accompanying parents to
the senior dance at the Moana mast
have adult tickets-the price of either
being fifty cents.
The Junior dance viii begin at eight
sharp, the senior at nine o clock, so as
to give the many friends of the Out
rigger at the Country club stag dinner
an opportunity to be at the Moana in
time for the first dance.
Kenneth Atkinson and number of
the non-dancing club members will i'm
prove the occasion by taking out canoe
ing parties to come in ON the surf to
the accompaniment of red, green and
blue fire. They will also disport them
selves on Illuminated surf boards, ex-
perimenting with several kinds of lights
upon the bows of their tiny planlxs,
and selecting the most effective for use
at the big night regatta next month.
Mrs w. NJ. Graham will preside over
the campfire on the beach at the head
of the lagoon and the junior members
will treat ali holders of dance tickets
to canoe rides.
More canoes are now anchored in the
lagoon than have ever foated there
since the good old days of Queen Emma.
Under the big hau tree of the Seaside
hotel the young folks will be served
with lemonade, cake and ice cream.
Altogether the outriggerites promise
their friends splendid time at their
opening function of the season.

BECKLEY CUP
GOES TO HELENE.

The yacht Helene has been awarded
the Beckley cup by ruling of the
regatta committee, which took the facts
into consideration and decided that, I'M
der the circumstances the Helene was
entitled to the prize.
The race was held June "a last and
there was one of those unfortunate in
cidents which will creep in even to the
best regulated races. The Diamond
Head stake boat was not there on time
and there was nothing for the yachts
to round until the launch arrived and
hailed the shippers that she would act
as stake boat
BY ruling made after the race, the
race was called off but a later eonsid-
Grafton of the matter decided the com
mittee to award the cup to the Helene
and her skipper Fred Whitney.
The following correspondence makes
the whole matter clear.
"August %, Mr.. c. T. Wilder, Dear
Sir: I have just been informed by two
members of the Hawaii yacht club that
the yacht Helene won the race for the
Beckley cup by two minutes corrected
time allowance on June q last but, by
an arbitrary ruling of the chairman of
the regatta committee, the race was de-
clared off without written protest of ir-
regularities by any yacht Is captain. IL
the above facts are correct, the yacht
Helene is entitled to the cup this year.
Yours truly, Fred Whitney, captain
