KAHULUI YACHT RACE TO
START TOMORROW EVENING
Concord, Luka, Hawaii and Kamehameha to
Pass Bell Buoy at Five Bells in the
Second Dog Watch.

The yacht race to Kahului will start
at 6:3G p. m. tomorrow. This was def
initely decided yesterday afternoon at
a meeting of the shippers of the differ
ent yachts. Also all those who expect
to go on the race must be aboard by
5 clock. There will be much work to
be done and the slowing of dunnage
and hosting of sail will take up time
enough so that the yachts will just be
able to get out to the starting line by
five bells.
The Hawaii has her crew and party
all made up. There have been several
disappointments, but it is entirely the
fault of the disappointed ones as they
did not come round when notice was
first given. They showed the usual Ho
nolulu method of waiting till the last
minute anrd got left.
