RACE FOR WRENS ONLY
FOR NEXT SUNDAY

There is great possibility that Com
modore Wilder s sea-wren will be ready
for next Sunday. If this is the case
there will be four wrens in the water
and there will be a race for wrens only
in the harbor.
The Roaring Gimlet will be launched
on Friday or Saturday and Howard
Bowen will have her all fixed up for
the race. Even if the Wilder boat is
not ready, there will be three wrens,
quite enough to make an interesting
race and, barring any delay in the
launching of either of the two new
wrens. the race will be sailed.
Prince Cupid is stirred to emulation

He made proposition of a very sport

if the latter would borrow the use of
two Pearls for Sunday morning, he
would toss up for choice of boats and

the loan of the boats can be effected,

attention to the fact that he walked
twenty miles in the Haleiwa race very

RACE MOSTLY
Drift TING MATCH
Party on Hawaii Had Enjoyable
Time Fishing and Being
Stakeboat.

The package race to Kaena Point
turned out to be rather a drifting
match, and the yachts did not reach
Honolulu harbOr until yesterday morn
ing The Charlotte c. arrived shortly
before one CLOCK, the Gladys about
an hour later, and the Kamehameha
drifted in another hour after that
The yaw1 was also the first to reach
Kaena. She sent aboard for her pack
age at a quarter of seven on Sunday
morning and was followed just ten min.
uLes later by the Gladys. The Kan
was nearly an hour later. Charlie Lewis
was the one who volunteered to row to
tine Hawaii from the latter yacht for
the package.
There was so little wind that he
started when they were several miles
away Once alongside the Hawaii, he
was hauled ON board and made to eat
breakfast before he returned to the
Kan, which was gradually drawing
nearer in very light air. Then Charlie
took the package, jumped in the dinghy
and rowed back again.
A Delightful Trip.

very delightful trip. There were thir
teen of them on board. When this was
discovered. it was too late to correct
the hoodoo number. The hghtness of
the wind was put down to this unfor-
tunate circumstance, and it was de-
bated very seriously as to whether it
would be better to heave Bruce Cart
wright or Captain Nicely overheard.
Finally it was decided not to inter
fere with the state of affairs, as Kaena
Point was nearly reached. Besides, as
it was pointed out by the Commodore,
there would hardly be room for Mr..
Cartwright inside a whale, and Nicely
would merely grab hold of the stern
and push the boat along until he got
tired, when he would climb on board
again.
Throwing Relations Round.
Arrived off Kaena, they dropped an
chor in dead smooth water, and then
amused themselves according to their
several bents Some slept and some
ffshed. After nightfall, Cartwright was
fishing and landed a huge crawhsh.
Buster Stacker was looking on and wait
ing to see what it was that was coming
up out of the water. One Zip of the
line by the stalwart fisherman and the
big thing with claws fell directly on the
unprotected head of the watcher. Buster
let out one screech and ran. He came
in violent contact with the main com
panionway and took one dive below;
When they had picked up the pieces and
pasted him together, the victim NUT
tered. "What do you know about a
man who throws his relations round at
people that way2''
AS soon as the yachts had collected
their packages, the Hawaii got up her
mudhook and sailed for Honolulu. She
arrived just before sunrise Yesterday
morning. Everybody on board looked
trifie sleepy, but happy, and they. all
said that they had had most ENJOY
able trip.

Next Saturday the British cruiser
Bedford will be here, and on that date
the sailors and a local soccer team
will try conclusions at the league
grounds. The game will start at half
past three.
Yesterday afternoon there was
meeting of the soccer players, repre-
sentatives of each team being there,
and a team was selected to represent
Honolulu. Before starting to pick
names for the different positions, Mr.,
Fiddes, president of the league, stated
that it was very necessary that abso-
lutely no favoritism should be shown
and that the very best aggregation
possible should be out on the field.
The team finally selected is as fol
lows: Bob Chillingworth, goal; T. W.
P. Grey, right fullback; Johnny
Clarke. left fullback; Bob Cation,
fullback sub; L. 6. Blackman, right
halfback; David Center, center half;
Harry Bailey, left half; j. Macaulay,
halfback sub; Carl Oss, outside right
forward; Dwight, inside right; Elisha
Andrews. center forward; J. Macau-
iav. inside left; Fred Bailey, outside
left; J. B. Walker, Sinclair and John
Cation, forward subs.
No Admission Charged.
There will be no admission fee to
the grounds, but the game will be
none the less worth watching for that.
In fact, it should prove quite society
affair, as several of the officers will
play, and they. as well as the enlisted
men, are adopts at the game.
Just how clever the sailors are at
the game can be realized by the fact
that San Francisco selected her very
strongest soccer team to play the Brit
ishers and were properly surprised
when the game ended with no score
and the latter part of the play all in
favor of the visitors.
Team Looks Good
The team selected by the locals
looks like a very strong one The
players are mostly in fair condition,
as they have been playing baseball,
intercollegiate football or golf lately,
and the few days practise that they
will have together should put them fit

AYRES WILL ENTER
LONG-DISTANCE GAME

The latest man to get in the long

athlete H. N. Ayres. There is no
doubt that he has the most wonderful
stamina and. according to his own argu-
ment, if he have full six weeks train
ing, he can beat either Kaoo or Tsuka-

Ayres says that it is physical i'm

they line up against the visitors.

keen one. With the counterattraction

WHAT PRESS AGENTS SAY

in the coming appearance of Bengough,

his novel entertainments at the opera
house this afternoon and evening. Ben

and crayon sketches of humorous ma
ture, interspersed with dialect stories,
operate burlesque, and comic chat. He
will also recite 1.-The Visit of the Yam

has aroused great enthusiasm every
where. Commenting on it, the Sydney
Morning Herald says: Zone of the
events of Saturday was Bengough S
spirited delivery of his own lines upon
The Visit of the Yankee Fleet. as
spoken by an enthusiastic tar back
again in America after being feted in
the antipodes. At the conclusion, the
hall rang with applause, and BengOugh
was recalled again and again. He really
ought to include these heart-inspired
verses in every program. Speaking
of the same recital, the Wellington
Dominion says: ''With his Visit of
the Yankee Fleet, Bengough lifted his
audience into an infiammably-p patriotic
condition good to See
There was much disappointment felt
last night at the nonarrival of the Ma

Cundys Harbor

The residents here are very much
disappointed at the news that there
will be no steamer service from Port
land this summer. Cundy's will be
Isolated except for the New Meadows
Steamboat Company's boat. which at
the best, does not give the people here
any kind OF service, and which Is
not In the least instrumental I'm bring
lns summer people to this really de-
sirable location. The passenger traffic
Is not sufficiently large to induce the
Casco Bay and Harpswell line TO con-
tinue the service which they furnish
ed last summer; and the situation In
the freight business IL complicated by
the fact that many OF the residents
own and operate motor boats which
they can use to handle small freight.
II Is inevitable that business here will
suffer from this isolation. The natur-
al beauty OF Cundy's Harbor Il SUCH
as TO attract large number c~sum-
mer tourists. With three stores con-
yenientiy located, there IA every ac-
commodation for summer people. but
unless something IL done TO procure
better communication, the develop
ment Of this portion OF Casco Bay will
be seriously retarded. Situated on
the extreme southern end OF Great Is
land about five miles from Gurnet
Bridge, transportation by land IL at
tended with serious dificulties. hence
the future OF cundy's az a summer re-
sort lies wholly In the hands of the
