The Pacific commercial advertiser. [volume] (Honolulu, Hawaiian Islands) 1885-1921, 1909-06-10

AT $50 O'Clock this afternoon, Just
before shutdown, when there is yet
enought light to make a good start,
four yachts will start on the race to
Kahului and return. The yachts are
the Hawaii H., Luka, Concord and
Kamehameha.
The starting line will be from the
bell buoy to the judges boat. There
will be two guns for the start, one at
6:25 and second one at $3.50. Time
will be taken from the second gun.
Arrangements have been made for two
marks off Kahului harbor. The time
of arrival of each yacht will be taken
at Kahului by judges appointed for
the purpose. The return race from
Kahului to Honolulu will be started
early on Monday morning. Times will
be taken again at Honolulu, and the
yacht making the fastest aggregate
time over the whole course will re-
ceive the E. o. Hall & Son trophy.
The yacht reaching Kahului first will
receive a handsome prize which has
been put up by the yachtsmen of Maui.
It is in the form of large poi Gala
bash with a silver plate bearing an in
scription.
In case of arrival off Kahului dur
ing the night the stake boat will carry
a white light. In this case shippers of
yachts will take their own time and
correct up with the regatta committee IS
time on shore. One member of the re-
gatta committee will be aboard the
Concord, another on the Luka, and the
third will act as starter and judge at
the Honolulu end of the course.
No More Accommodates.
The business Office of the Advertiser
was again bombarded by people who
wanted to 60 on the cruise yesterday,
although it was plainly stated in the
morning paper that all the yachts were
full up. These good people, who either
do not belong to the Yacht Club or who
neglected to send in their acquisitions
early, have only themselves to blame,
as they had plenty of notice
All the yachts will have large par
ties aboard The Concord will carry
genial crowd of enthusiasts. While
her sleeping accommodation is not
very large, as she is principally hold,
at least nine yachtsmen will stow
themselves aboard her. Among them
will be Prince Cupid and Admiral Beck
ley, two of the most enthusiastic water
dogs on the island, and who have both
been doing their best to boost this
race and make it a success.
Prince Cupid has decided to take
larger supply of poi than usual. The
last time he went on a race he took
some poi and fish with him and thought
that he would have a nice lunch about
midnight. But when he produced the
kaukau everybody suddenly became
ravenously. hungry, and the poor Prince
got about two dips in the bowl.
Large Crew on Hawaii.
Commodore Wilder will sail the Ha-
wall. He has an expert crew selected
to handle the yacht and will have a
full complement of sheet-haulers in
both watches. Fifteen amateur sailors
with Alex Lundquist and Charlie
Grenaa, the two professionals, will be
aboard her when she sails over the
starting line.
There will be smaller party aboard
the Luka. Captain Miller has arrang-
ed with Captain Denny of the bark
Alden Besse to navigate the schooner
x,oob+ on5 Can Denny is one salt who
can crack on and put her to it. The
Luka party do not expect to do SO
very much on the beat to windward,
but she may be reckoned with on the
return run.
Kan Is the Smallest.
The Kamehameha is far and away
the smallest of all the craft entered IN
the race. She is a sloop and looks al
most like a sailing dinghy alongside
the other yachts, but she is very fast
one in windward work, and it would
surprise nobody if she were to win
the calabash for arriving at Kahului
first. Bob Scott will sail her with his
usual crew, including Captain Nicely,
the man who gets out and pushes when
the wind drops. Jim Lewis, probably
one of the best informed Island pilots,
will be aboard the Kan, and she will
have the advantage of expert knowl-
edge and experience that will stand her
in good stead, especially if the lee
course be chosen.
Course Matter of Choice.
