mirth that rent the air, it was pretty
well shattered.
Throngs Assemble Early.
Honolulu was early astir yesterday
morning for holiday, and while every
one seemed to fit hither and thither,
the general trend was down toward the
sea, and before nine O'Clock the har-
Dor was lined with a huge throng of
humanity. The lighthouses bulged out
in front with youths and fair maidens
forming one solid mass in the Healani
and Myrtle clubs balconies and down
on the floats, where all waited in eager
expectancy. All the projecting wharves
and points commanding a view of the
harbor were packed with those who had
been overlooked in the distribution of
club invitation badges. The outgoing
steamers had quite a port list as they
sailed away, with the passengers hang
ing over the deck rails, waving hand
kerchiefs and small flags in salute to
the oarsmen.
First Race.
At nine O'Clock Z. P. Low started
scurrying around the ha1bor, megaphon-
ing to the Myrtles and the Healanis to
get out their senior six-oar barge crews,
and the husky Oarsmen quickly respond
ed to his summons. Capt. VIII Lyle and
his crew, wearing the Myrtle red sash
over their shoulders, came gliding up
the harbor and swung in behind the
starting line between the Hackfeld and
Tnter-Island wharvcs. Bert Hebron
and his Healanis, sashed in blue, came
into position about the came time, and
after couple of minutes to get ready,
George Turner pulled the trigger and
the twelve men pulled the oars.
The Myrtles got away first with
a clean stroke. while the Healanis
splashed and tugged away for a while
before they got fairly into their stroke
BY thi time the Myrtles had gained a
slight lead, which they kept on increas
ing until the finish The reds welt
, ahead about six boat-lengths wher
, they rounded the fag7 opposite the spai
! buoy. The Myrtles gained about TIVE
, more while the Healanis were rounding
the turn. Lyle and his men kept Il
the long sweep stroke with spring a
the finish while The Healanis put al
{ their energy into the start of theil
, stroke, letting the boat drift at tht
finish. From the view following the
, barges over the course, the Myrtle
. crews oars came up and went down
. so accurately together that only ont
, pair could be seen, while the Healanis
! could readily be counted Both crew
were pulling the same number of stroke
