PACIFIC YACHT FUND

holders in the yacht are now asked TO
surrender all their rights to any claim
in the yacht and for what? For the
privilege of paying a membership fee
of a dollar a month in the Hawaii
yacht club, and for certain stock which
is worth what?
There is a roar about the PROPOSE
ton, of course. though it is all likely
to wind up in the utmost good ma
ture, for most contributors will pleas
antly remark that it was all for the
good Of the sport and they don't mind
losing five dollars or a hundred dol
lars, or whatever the amount may be-
What the yacht cost Is not any
body's business; all the contributors
are supposed to know now is that
three thousand dollars is due, and for
the yacht, and this after the talk of
all that was donated" free, for no
thing, without cost, gratis, for the
yacht. AS a matter of fact, nobody
really cares, only there are some who
are curious. That the yacht could not
be sold for what it cost, goes without
saying, for the simple reason that no
one is quite crazy enough to pay
twenty-three thousand or more for
what they might duplicate In any 9TH
er port for a third or a half Of the
price.
Here is the circular letter:
AS a contributor to the fund for
building the yacht Hawaii" We wish
to put before you a plan for the dis
position of the yacht and ask for your
approval thereof.
AS you know, the yacht is now un-
der the control OF a committee OF six,
namely w. H. McInerny, II. e. Coop
er, Judge .B. Dole, r. w. Shlngle,
Samuel Parker and Chas. T. Wilder,
who constitute the Trans-Paclfic
Yacht Race Committee. There is a
debt of $4,000 owing on the yacht
which sum the committee was Obliged
10 borrow TO complete her construc-
ton.
II has become a question what dis
posal 10 make Of the yacht, There are
two alternatives, first 20 sell her at
once either at private sale or public
auction, or second, 10 maintain her
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1908-12-12

until the next Trans-Pacific race and
learn to get the most speed out of
her for the contest. To sell her at
once to the highest bidder would be
to sacrifice her for there are no
yachtsmen here of sufficient means to
pay a reasonable value for her. Fur
thermore, the committee are of the
opinion that the purpose of the trust
can best be advanced by scheme to
keep the yacht up during the inter-
val before the next race and by prac-
tice prepare to get the best speed out
of her and thus place her in the next
race with reasonable expectation of
running first place.
AS a practical way of doing this the
committee have made an agreement
with the Hawaii Yacht Club, Limited,
whereby the corporation will assume
the $4,000 debt and take the yacht,
and in return give to the contributors
paid up share in the yacht club
equal in value to the amount of their
contribution. Any contributor may be-
come regular member with vote
| in the corporation upon the payment
of the regular dues of SO quarter,
payable in advance, and we would
urge that every contributor become
member of the Club, that the sport
may be materially advanced. This
plan is subject to your approval. We
urge that you send your written con-
sent in on one OF the forms inclosed
herein addressed as indicated there
on. AS reasons for this consent we
urge that the yacht will be in charge
of a responsible corporation compos-
ed of men whose experience enables
them to handle the racing yacht to
the best advantage.
The yacht will still be controlled
and in most part owned by the same
people who contributed to the fund
through their voice in the stockhold-
ers' meeting in electing officers of the
corporation. 1t will enable the cor
poration to treat the yacht as an as
set with its other assets and to nego-
tiate for the financing of the next race
as one owner in control of the yacht
with full powers apart from any trust.
Business dealings would thus be easier
and at the same time the committee
will be relieved of their personal la
bility. -

AT PETERSBURG.
War "reminiscences of One Hundred
and Flfty-fifth Regiment, Pa. v.

In the winter and early spring the
marshy country to the south and south
west of Petersburg, drained by Hatch
ers and Gravelly runs, was subject to
frequent fogs so dense that from day
break until ten o'clock a soldier wan
would be unable to find his way back
to the same. During the siege of Pc
tersburg, writes John 7. Porter In the
Pittsburg Dispatch, the whole region
between the lines Of the contending
armies was so cut up by covered ways,
dug-out roads, rife pits, etc, to con-
ceal the movement of troops and pick
cts from the view of the enemy as to
make it almost impossible, or at least
extremely hazardous, to pass from the
main lines to the picket posts when
the fog was heavy.

A youth of Is, named Possneck, who
two years ago lost both his hands in a
machinery accident at Arnstadt, has
accomplished the remarkable feat of
gaining a speed certificate for short
hand. After his mishap, by which his
hands were cut off at the wrists, he
was received into a cripples' home.
The duke of SaXe-Meiningen, one of
the patrons, took an active interest in
the lad and paid for two artificial
hands. The cripple soon became so
expert in their use that he is now
an excellent penman, and can write
shorthand at the rate of lis words

A younger man would have called
Miss Allison effete. He might have
said that she was burned out But
it was evident from Conrad's manner
that he did not think so, that he at
least had hopes of arousing her. He
still held her cold hand and pleaded
with her, a lover amply qualified in
ardor and freshness.
She did not seek to restrain him
with any gesture of protest-that was
not her way-she gazed at him stead
faStly, her hazel eyes suffused. Her
eyes showed too much WEAKNESS, al
most too much wisdom, for her age;
out neither quality detracted from the
compelling, romantic charm Of her
face; rather did it lend more piquant
contradiction to its soft contour.

manded. Cant | do something to
