Take in Plantation.

The Myrtle boys are going to piper.
high Monday night. They stand in with
the high brows whose ships just came
in from the Coast on the transpacific
race, and Monday night-Mums is the
word-they are all going to smoke up
together down on the waterfront at the
boathouse and the pipe dreams will
loom thick and fast as the local artists
shoot their talent into the haze.
The affair will be given in honor of
the visiting yachtsmen and all the stall,
wart Williams who braved the raging
main and rode the roaring pillows from
San Pedro to Honolulu will be on deck,
come what may. The master mariners
held session in admiralty last evening
in their rooms.of state at the Young
Hotel after the automobile cruise to the
Oahu plantation where they spent the
afternoon.
Commodore Smith showed admirable
judgment in the selection of his crew
for the Sweetheart, for they could have
held down the little craft with all her
canvas in any old sea by their combined
weight. Those who are under six feet
in height have width that makes it
as broad as it is long in dead reckoning.
The crew of the Sweetheart were
guests of William H. McInerny at
luncheon in the Commercial Club yester-
day noon, and after taking solid nour-
ishment they were conveyed by autos
to the Oahu plantation, where they in.

the process of making sugar and in
creasing dividends, the latter seeming
to engage their attention more than the
process Of production, Judging from the
gist of their conversation.
Calm will prevail today, they said,
and tomorrow night Honolulu's fair
ones will rest on the yard arms of these
conquerors of wind and sea in the spa

About six hundred invitations are out
for this browning feature of the yachts
mems rendezvous here and the commit
tee in charge of the affair is in fear and
trembling lest some one of HonOlulu's
elite might have been overlooked in
making up the list. Harry Rycroft said
last night that he wished all the local
yacht club members would rack ahqlc
brains to think of some one who might
have been skipped by the shippers who
compiled the list.
The Mollilou yachtsmen did not go
on the plantation tour yesterday. Com.
modore Ward, Judge Dole and Commo
dore Charley Wilder cruised over to
Pearl HarbOr in Francis Smith S usw
yawl. The crew of the Mollilou, it was
said yesterday, is made up of me'nbcrs
of the Aeolian Yacht Club of Alameda,
the Corinthian Yacht Club of San Fran
cisco and other Coast clubs. Some of
them had friends in Honolulu before
they arrived and they are being looked
after individually, while the Sweetheart
is manned by mariners all of whom are
members of the South Coast Yacht Club
and they hang together.
The crew of the Hawaii was enter
tanned at San Pedro by the South Coast
Yacht Club and got very chummy with
the boys during their visit there. Com
modore Smith said upon his arrival that
the Hawaii boys nestled right into the
hearts of the Coast bunch and the latch
string would always be left out for
them up there, The hit seems to be
mutual.
Commodore Smith is a thoroughbred
sportsman. He has been member of
the South Coast Yacht Club ever since
its existence, which has been nearly ten
years, and has always been mainstay
in promoting races, although he has
never entered boat until this year
He remodeled the Sweetheart for this
years race and when the question of
expense arose in regard to having the

own craft.
