$1,000 IS VALUE
Of YACHT HAWAII
Yacht Gossip OF Inter
est To Local
Sailors

The yacht Hawaii Is now, accord !
ing to the insurance men, worth |
something over $1,000. This is the
amount she is at present insured for,
but new inventory will be taken |
in day or so and another valuation
placed on the trim little vessel. Work |
on her Is progressing as rapidly as is
. wished. All Of the rougher work is
completed Now only the finer deli
cate touches are needed and all Of
I the time OF the expert boat-builderu
is being devoted toward making the
hawaii as fine a looking craft in her
trimmings as she is in contour.
/ Mr.. McInerny has received word
| that c. d. StmsOn, the lumber king
of Seattle, who owns what is un-
! doubtodly the finest yacht in the
! Northwest, Is considering entering
| the Trans-Pacific Race, and he has
/ written to the Northern magnat2
/ with view towards learning his in
/ tentions. II is not probable that the
/ South Coast Yacht Club of Califor-
MIA, which Is conducting the race, Is
aware that Stimson wishes to enter
! the race, and IL Is for this reason that
Mac is taking the matter into his

mention save the Oregon Yacht Club

held at Astoria at the annual regat-
Ia. Seattle and Tacoma, with as fine
a sailing space as could De desired
have never taken up the sport with
any great Zest There are individual
enthusiasts, but they have no unified
body.
1t would be good for Seattle rs
well as for the TRANSATLANTIC Race II
Mr.. Stimson or some other man who
has a fast yacht would enter and par
tlcipute in the cruise from San Pc

Negotiations are still pending for
an interisland baseball league for the
coming season. There are some good
players on the other islands, and it is
hoped to combine these and bring
them over here for n series of games
after the season. Hawaii, Kauai,
Maui and Oahu would probably be rep.
resented.
1t is a safe bet that En- Sue receives
"pTOspectuses" from some of the col.
leges In the East. Good athletes al
ways have chance for better edu.
cation.

round the course with me-"
The shoemaker readily agreed, and
when they reached the links the
Yankee made nice tee upon which
he set his ball. Then taking u
mighty swing, he missed
