ing that he did on his first attempt.
Many of the yachtsmen went to
Puunenc and attended the dance
there and made ready. on Sunday
morning for the return race.
The Gladys left about eleven
O'Clock for the return as she was
not in the race.
As was planned before hand by a
number of the yachtsmen Jack
Densham vas arrested and hand
cuffed and put aboard the Concord

Densham made Il hit with the
Maui people and his tragic departure
did not lessen the admiration of the
Maui people for the bright young
reporter.
The race home was Il pretty one.
The yacht Hawaii won. The time for
the round trip being 80 hrs, 81
min. and 20 sec. The Kameha-
meha came in second in 81 hrs. II
min. and 80 see. The Concord
came in third and the Luka fourth.
All of Maui hopes this is the be-
ginning of an annual event of Il like
nature. 1t is an ideal course and
Maui may he depended upon to dc
her part.

Races Attract
Many People
J. Onishi Buys A Great
Winner.

A very encouraging letter was re-
ceived from Honolulu this week
and it is almost certainty that there
will be contingent of Honolulu
people here on the morning of the
3rd of July to witness the Races at
Kahului. There will also be Il base
ball team arriving on the same day,
and it is the present intention to
play game on Saturday afternoon,
and one on Sunday afternoon, the
4th.
The horses in training at Kahului
are doing well, and there is every
reason to figure on some very close
and exciting finishes ON the 3rd
The track is being put in excellent
condition, and will be well sprink-
led, so as to prevent the dust from
flying, which has always been one
Objectionable feature. The mule
race will as usual be a very interest
ing one. Moi the old standby
will probably be entered. The
gentleman's driving race will alsc
be interesting, if the horses talked
of are entered. Defender, the horse
that has won many Il race at the
kahului track, was this week solo
to J. Onishi, the merchant at Ka.
hului, and as that gentleman is i'm.
bued with the love of horse flesh
there is no doubt but what he vii
enter her for the Races. 1t is
rumorcd that the horse is already
in training. However, all in all, il
will be n great day at Kahului, anC
as the day will be generally observ
ed, no better place could command
the attention of spectators thar
good, clean horse racing.

to make application for spccia

Yachts Have Exciting Finish
in Kahnlui HarbOr.

What was one of the most cXclt
ing finishes in hundred mile yacht
race was witnessed by large num-
Der of Maui residents last Friday
evening when the yacht Hawaii ii
beat the Kamchameha past the
finishing stake boat 10y just two
minutes and fifty seconds and max
ing the run up in little less than
twenty four hours from port to port
The race was one between the Ha-
waii II, Kamehameha, Concord,
and Luka while the little yacht
Gladys made the run up but was
not officially entered.
The yachts arrived one day ahead
of the scheduled time and con-
scquently found little preparation
for the reception of the guests but
their welcome was warm and their
presence was appreciated by every
one.
Superintendent J. n. s. Williams
of the Kahului Railroad Company
took the official time for the yachts,
He did every thing possible to make
their stay in Kahului pleasure as
did number of other residents of
Kahului.
Friday night was spent in rest,
Saturday in sight seeing and Satur-
day evening in doing justice to a
fish chowder and few other cdibles
after which the greatest flow OF
eloquence ever heard on Maui took
up the greater part of the evening.
The speeches were all good SEN
sible efforts and many were the hits
but none compared with the des-
cription Of how the Gladys and hel
brave crew were saved by the in
ventive genius of Commodore Brown
who finding his pump broken and
no buckets aboard put all hands to
work with most suitable substitutes
and thus tale will be handed
down to toposterity Of how the good
yacht was saved by the presence oI
mind of her gallant commander.
After the speeches were all listen.

The Germania State Bank some
little time ago started an action in
which it sought an injunction to pre-
vent the collection of 1908 taxes and
to have the assessment declared void.
The state interposed a demurrer which
was heard BY Judge Taylor Saturday
and the matter taken uuder advise
ment. As the Judge will be in the
Black Hills a part of this week it is
probable that it will be several days
before the ruling on the demurrer is
recorded. The situation from which
the bank seeks relief is this: the banks
capital stock was assessed as usual,
and on top of the assessment of its
capital stock the surplus and undivid-
ed profits were turned in for assess
ment. The state board of equaliza-
ton then raised the assessment of
banks in this county 335 per cent. In
many of the counties the surplus and
undivided profits were not assessed.

A carload of winter wheat reach
ed the Minneapolis market last week
from Canton, this state. The wheat
tested Gil pounds to the bushel. We
see no reason why winter wheat can
not be raised successfully in nearlyall
parts of the stale, if i: is a success at
Canton. 1t may be hal winter wheat
needs TO be acclimated the same as
some of the large varieties of corn
brought in from sections having
slightly longer sea sons, but we believe
it can be grown here successfully.
There are at least two advantages in
connection with the raising OF winter
wheat; il natures earlier than the
spring wheat ard yields heavier. An
other advantage to the farmer would
be the early blowing and the conse-
quent terminating of foul seed in the
ground in time to kill the weed plants
