SIX YACHTS
ARE SOLD OUT
Great Enthusiasm in Town Over
Sunday Excursion to
Pearl Harb0r.

Less than two days left in which to
get your tickets for the big excursion
to Pearl Harbor on Sunday. The sale
of tags will positively close at the Ad
vertiser office tomorrow afternoon, at 2
o o'clock. 1t is necessary to do this so
that the caterer can have an idea of
how many people he has to provide for
There has been great rush for
tickets the last two days and the two
larger craft, the Mokolii and Luka are
rapidly filing up. Most of the sailing
yachts already have their complement
made up and those who wish to sail
down should certainly make a point of
buying their tags today, or they will
get left as the number of sailing beats
is limited.
The Spray, Malolo, Hawaii II, Helene,
Mr.. Jaeger's power launch and Mr..
Bowen s power yawl are all sold out.
There is some room left on the Kane
hameha, Charlotte C. and Gladys. There
is still plenty of room on the Mokolii
and Luka, the capacity of both of which
was considerably underestimate.
The committee in charge has sent in
an urgent request that all those who
expect to go will make up their minds
today and get in their orders for tags.
If unable to get round to the office
for you. The number is So.
1t is probable that the Hawaii I will
also be one of the yachts in the big
parade and excursion. Captain Lyle
has recently had her on the ways and
she is in fine shape for the trip.
Helene Will Sail.
A notable addition to the fleet is the
Helene. This fast sloop was not in COM
mission, but by the courtesy of Captain
Whitney, she is being put in shape and
the sails are being bent on so that
she will be all ready to show her heels
to the rest of the sailing craft on the
run before the wind to Pearl Harbor.
A party of local business men who
wished TO go all together have all book
ed for the Helene so that she is full
up. She will be in charge of either
Captain Whitney or Bill Stroud, both
| of whom are expert yachtsmen.
Bonnie to Take Pictures.
Mr.. Bonine is unable to state def
initelv whether he will be able to ac-
| company the yachts or not, but he will
be there to get pictures of the start
| and a film of the yachts leaving the
harbor. strung out in a line and fly
ing before the fair trade wind, should
result in a very attractive picture
Something worth sending to Seattle to
show the web footers that we can dc
something in the way of yachts beside
| racing across the Pacific.
The yachting bug is certainly begin
ming its work in Honolulu. Captains
of the sailing yachts are being constant
| " asked about what is the proper nauti-
cal thing to wear. Innocent inquirers
are asking what is meant by "spl'cine
| the main brace'' and keel-hauling a
| landlubber, and lively argument
started yesterday afternoon, at the cor
ner of Fort and King streets, as to the
difference between a watch tackle and
| a bo sun s chair.
, The excursion will be a great event
and everybody who is going seems to
have mind made up to enjoy it thor
| oughly. There is much to be arranged
but bunch of live ones is working
this event and everything will be all
to the large and rosy success.
