ed their way through the press, send
ing out huge waves which made the
row boats and other small craft rock
/ from side to side.
Through the courtesy OF Admiral
Sebree, one of the big launches Of the
fleet, flying the five of clubs, acted as
the guard boat which patrolled the
course during the events of the day.
Given full authority to act where it
seemed necessary, the patrol kept the
course clear from all interference with
the racers.
The boat clubs, as usual held open
house during the day. Here the
staunchest adherents Of rowing could
be found and hardly a single person
could be noticed who was not qualified
or at least who thought he or she was
not qualified, to discuss the merits or
the various crews from the standpoint
of an expert. The largest crowd was
found at the Healani's home, where
the clubhouse was crowded to its ut
most capacity The building was gor-
geously decorated with blue and white
bunting and Kaais quintet played
through the day while the guests and
members of the Healani club danced
during the intervals between the races.
Refreshments were served during the
noon intervals, the members OF the
club acting as one large committee OF
entertainment. The entire work OF
handling and entertaining was in
charge of Sam Mahelona and a corps of
assistants who acquitted themselves
most creditably.
The Myrtles, with their spacious Ia
mai on the second story of the club
house, were visited by over 1000 OF
their friends. The posts supporting
the roof were draped with red and
white and these colors carried out the
scneme of decoration throughout the
club. The cabinets containing the
many cups and other prizes which have
been carried away by the Myrtles in
their years of successful oarmanship
attracted great deal Of attention from
the visitors and the older members OF

that of the Kunalu Boat Club. The
pretty little structure was decorated
with green and has never been more
charming, than this morning, wnen,
filled to the limit by number of the
society girls of the city and their
friends the strains of Sam Nainoa's
quintet were inviting all to dance.
There were few who could Withstand
the invitation, anu each pause in the
program meant more pleasure for those
who know the joy Of dancing to Ha-
waiian music. At noon a delicious
luncheon, consisting of light refresh
ments, was served by the young ladies,
of the club, and proved most accept
able to all. The Regatta Day Com
mittee, which outdid itself in the en-
tertainment line, was composed of the
following: Miss Ella Wight, chairman,
Miss Annie Johnson, Miss Myra An
! gus, Miss Bella McCorriston and Mrs.
Austin. The officers of the club are:
| Miss Rennie Cation, president; Miss
Annie Johnson, vice president; Miss
Ethel Spalding, secretary; Miss Char
lotte Hall, treasurer.
The barkentine Irmgard entered the
/ harbor shortly after o'clock, moor
ing at the Channel wharf. Hardly
was she made fast when, with a gen.
eral rush she was boarded by hundreds
of spectators. Captain Christensen
entered into the spirit of the day and
made no protest, with the result that
through his courtesy hundreds Of local
people obtained fine view of the
races
The yacht Hawaii was used as the
judges boat and was very prettily de-
corated with signal flags. The Kane
hameha with a party Of sight seers
aboard sailed up and down the harbor
adding to the effectiveness Of the spec
tacle.

There are host of petty ailments
which are the direct result of the
weather.
This is more true of the excessive heat
Of summer and the intense cold of win

Whether it be cold or a cough, ca
tarrh of the head or bowel complaint,
whether the liver be affected or the kid
neys, the cause is very liable to be the
same.
The weather slightly deranges the
mucous membranes of the organs and
the result is some functional disease.

From Far and Near
Half a Century Of OIL.

From the Philadelphia Prass.-Fifty
years ago, toward the end of August,
1859, Edwin l.. Drake sank the first
petroleum we'll at a point on Oil creek
near where Titusville now flourishes.
This was the beginning of the indus
try which has reached such stupen-
dous proportions. Steps have just
been taken by the citizens of Titus
Vile to celebrate the semi-centennial
OF an event the Importance of which
Is not second to any in the economic
history of the United States. Fifty
years of petroleum have wrought re-
volution. first in artificial illumination
throughout large part of the civiliz-
ed world, while In the enormous
growth OF the automobile industry an
other direct result of brakes drilling
is observable. Oil fuel for ships, To-
comotives and stationary engines is
still in its infancy. So far as by-pro-
ducts OF petroleum are concerned, they
are as varied and as valuable as the
by-products of coal tar.
