Four Yachts Entered.
Four yachts will be entered in the
race. The Hawaii III, Luka, Concord
and Kamehameha. The last entry is
a good one and does great credit to
Captain Scott. The boys who sail on
the recent winner in light winds, are
all confident that she can make a fine
showing beating up the channel to Ka-
hului and they hive something in the
line of light sails that they are con-
fident will bring her back before the
wind at grand speed.
Every skipper in the race is averse
to the handicap idea. They each think
that their own yacht can beat all the
others over the course and this is what
makes good race. The Kamehameha,

the other three yachts, has the advan-
tage of being sloop and can thus
point higher than the Others and no.

not beat the whole bunch in the thrash

The return trip will take less than
half the time of going, provided the
regular trade winds are blowing, as it

be dead before it all the way. Should
the breeze come directly aft the Con-
cord and Luka will have a big bulge
on the Hawaii as the latter has shown
herself to be bad squatter running
before it.
Hawaii to Carry Yard.
Commodore Wilder who will be in
charge of the Hawaii has announced his
intention of taking the yard along
This will be snugged on deck during
the beat and will be shipped at Ka
hului. Should the wind lbe well to the
North or East on the return, the Ha

whole feet as she is wonder in run
ming with the wind over her quarter
and both sides of the squaresail draw

Secretary Nelly of the yacht clut
has written to Mr.. Williams of ka

Captain Miller is not wanting wit

all figured out where the Luka is goin
