REGATTA Day
ON THE SHORE

Perfect weather for racing, though
when the outer channel was reached
a heavy swell was to be encountered,
was a most pleasing feature to those
interested in Regatta Day. The specta
tors were delighted with the cool
breeze which was blowing and the
overcast sky prevented most of the
poets on the rowing holiday of Homo
lulu.
At about half past eight the tlrst
spectators began to stroll towards the
time the indications OF the rowing
festival could be seen in the streets up
town, in the badges and flags which
were generally worn or carried. The
rcd and white of the Myrtles seemed
to predominant over the blue and white
Of the Healanis, but the adherents Of
both clubs faunted the colors with full
assurance of victory during the day.
At o'clock the electric cars of the
Alakea street and Punahou lines be-
gan to be crowded and the clubhouses
began TO fill, while automobiles honk-
ed their yay through the pedestrians
who were thronging to the various
points Of vantage. By half past nine
all the streets of the town evidently
led toward the Waikiki end of the
harbor and the crowd was apparently
larger than on any Regatta Day for
some time.
The first race, which was supposed
to start at o'clock, was declared Off.
This was great disappointment to
many as the event was to have been a
contest between the steam launches
from the cruisers which are here and
should have been exciting from start
to finish. This caused the first de-
lay and the result was that the first ac-

A sizzling meteor last night, at mid
night, hurtled from the heavens and
landed in some as yet undiscovered
spot in the region of Waikiki.
No one, as far as ascertainable facts
are concerned, was killed or injured.
This fact in itself is remarkable, con-
sidering the number of people who re-
side in the social suburb.
The phenomenon is vouched for by
reliable persons, for two ladies', Mrs.
Rivenburgh and Mrs. Reid, we're seated
at midnight on the veranda Of the DR..
McLennan residence, discussing gen.
eralties, when, suddenly and without
warning there blew from the noctur-
nal indigo of the heavens blotch OF
fire that passed in furious haste, the
passage accompanied by roar as OF

wharf to and around flags opposite
spar buoy, keeping the same on port
side in turning, thence back to judges
boat; boats to keep their own course
throughout the race. Entries-Myrtle,
entered by Myrtle Boat Club Healani,
Healani Yacht and Boat Club
The Myrtles were out first, the Hea-
lanis failing to put in appearance
till 10 a m. Myrtles won the toss and
took the inside course. A fine start
was made. The .Myrtles took water
first. Healanis started off as if the
race was for hundred yards. They
quickly slowed down, however, and
seemed to remember the way the
crew fugged themselves a year ago.
Passing the judges boat the Myr-
ties had a clear lead of length and
half. They were pulling slightly
/ faster stroke than their opponents,
probably AZ to 40 per minute. The
MyrtIes made the turn first eight
lengths to the good. Passing their
boat house the Myrtles had increased
their lead to twelve lengths. The
Myrtles rowing beautifully, drew
ahead at will and passed the line win
ner by fifteen lengths. The Healanis
were badly up in the air the last por-
ton of the race and were losing the
best part of their stroke. They SEEM
ed to have no catch whatever. The
winners time was Is minutes, 71-2
seconds, and the losers finished In 16
minutes fiat
The race was the biggest walkaway
of recent years and was the fifth sue
cessive victory in this event for the
Myrtles The Healanis haven't won
a senior barge championship since
1904.
The finishing line has been changed
from that originally arranged. In
stead of the finish being at a line
drawn from the old Kinau wharf to
the judges boat which was to have
been moored off the wharf, 1t is at a
line drawn from the judges boat TO
a corner of the Quarantine wharf, the
judges boat being moored off the
Aloha boat house.
The crew who rowed the first race
were as follws:
Myrtles. H. Williams, bow; P.
Smith, No. 2; r Chillingworth, No.
I3; c. Padaken, No 4; ]. O'Brien, No.

TRIUNIPHs-HEALANI BOAT CLUB HAS ONE SMALL
CHANCE LEFT AVOID wHITEwAsH BRUSH PAIEFACE
CANoErsTs DEFEAT NATIVES AT THEIR OWN GAME

The feature of the aquatic events OF
Regatta Day has been the clean sweep
achieved by the Myrtles in the senior
and freshmen barge races and in the
senior pair-oar race. There is only one
more inter-club race, the junior pair
oar event. and even should the Hea-
lanis be successful in this it will be a
very small morsel Of comfort.
Another feature of this mornings
sport was the victory of the Outrigger
Clubs canoe, Aa, manned by haoles, IN
the four and six paddle races. They
defeated some of the strongest native
crews that could be got together, men
who make their living on the water,
and by so doing furnished additional
proof that the white man who takes
reasonable care of himself can be as
well and strong In this climate as he
could be anywhere else in the world.
The sport as far as the two big row.
ing events were concerned, was of q
very tame description. The senior
pair-oar furnished better contest and
but for Indifferent steering the judges
decision would nave been reversed.
The launch race, which was to have
come off first, did not take place this
morning. 1t is to he hoped that this
race, which was specially arranged for
the fleet, will be pulled off this after
noon, for it should prove to be the
most interesting race of the day.
The yacht Hawaii, which was used
as the judges boat, is gaily bedecked
with flags and is moored off the Aloha
boathouse
