The yacht after her trial trip, will be
provisioned for her trip to San Pedro
and will sail from here not later than
May 5. Allowing twenty days for the
run up the Hawaii should reach San
Pedro about May %. The time until
June IL, the date of the start, viii be
taken up in placing the yacht on the
ways, putting in new stores and get
ting ready for the race.
This will be the second race across
the Pacific. ocean, the initial event hav-
ing taken place two years ago under
the auspices of the Hawaii Yacht Club.
This event was a, great success, the
winning boat being commodore Sim
clair's schooner Lurline, sailing with
the flag of the South Coast Yacht Club.
The Lurline sailed the full course of
2400 miles with the wind abeam on one
tack, never shifting sails, a marvellous
performance. The winners time was
II days hours.
Commodore TUFTS ketch Anemene of
Denver finished second and c. W. Mac
farlane's schooner yacht La Paloma, the
Hawaiian entry, was the third boat to
reach the finishing line. There were
only three starters. All three yachts
were sailed by their owners.
In the future the race will be held
every two years under the alternate
management of the South Coast and
Hawaii yacht clubs. The start in the
coming event will be from San Pedro
and the finish off the Diamond Head
lighthouse. Invitations have been is
sued to all mainland yacht clubs to en-
ter representatives., and entries will
close on April Is with the secretary of
the South Coast Yacht Club.
The dimensions of the Hawaii are as
follows: Length over all, SO feet 6
inches; length on load water line. -
feet inches: beam. extreme over
plank. 16 feet 10 inches; depth of hold
at mainmast, 9 feet: extreme draft, 10
feet. The keel, which is of iron. weighs
u long tons. The vessel will be schoon-
err rugged.
The Hawaii is built as far as possible
of Hawaiian material and the cost of
her construction and equipment is de-
frayed by popular subscription. The
Hawaii is valued at $4,000 and is fully
insured.

THE FAMOUS BAsILIsK.

According to the ancient writers the
basilisk-sometime called cockatrice-
was monster to be greatly dreaded.
It's breath filed the air with a deadly
poison and burned up vegetation. and
the glance of It's eve, they say. was
fatal to both man and beast The only
creature that could face it and live.
they said, was the cock, and travellers
were advised to take loud-crowing cocks
with them as a protection against the
monster. So much for superstition. As
a matter of fact the basilisk is a harm
less lizard, living quiet life in the
woods and feeding on insects. Its ap-
pearance, however, is formidable. and
1t IS this, perhaps, that gave it a bad
name. 1t grows to length of from
twenty five to thirty inches. including
its tail, which is much longer than its
body. Rising from its head and incIin-
ing backward is broad, wing
like expansion, which gives it some re-
semblance to the flying lizard. The,
crest of this expansion is formed some
what like crown, and that gave the
basilisk its name, which is from the
Greek word meaning king
