TO ARRANGE PROGRAM
FOR REGATTA EVENTS
Native Crew From Kona, Hawaii,
viii Compete With Outrigger
Club HaoIes in Canoes.

The Hawaiian Rowing Association
held meeting Wednesday evening at
the Heaiani Yacht and Boat Club, elect
ed officers for the ensuing year and ap-
pointed a regatta committee to take
charge of the aquatic events which are
scheduled to come off on Saturday, the
seventeenth of September. Tom Y.
King was reelected president of the as
ISOLATION; Bert f. Hebron was chosen
vice president to succeed A. +. Ewart
and Irwin Spalding was reelected sec
rotary and treasurer.
Tom King, 3. T. Heilbron and Irwin
Spalding constitute the regatta commit
tee which was appointed. This body
will meet early next week to arrange
the program for the regatta day sports
which viii be the same as last year
with two exceptions, it was said yester
day. \ year ago the naval fleet was
| in Hawaiian waters, and the crews from
these warships participated. There will
be no naval crews this year to compete
A crew Of native outrigger lads from
KOna, Hawaii, will contest for honors
with crew of haoles from the Outrig
ger Club in a six-paddle race. In the
struggle last year between native
crew and whites the latter beat the Ha
waiians at their own sport, much to the
latter chagrin. The rivalry between
the Hawaii boys and the Outriggel
Club lads is very keen, it is said, and
this event will be a 90 for Blood. The
! Hawaii crew did not take part in the
regatta day events last year. The IA
tive crews which competed came from
the Kamehameha Aquatic Club and
other local organizations.
The Healani and the Myrtle Cluf
oarsmen are pulling themselves into
form every night now in the harbor
and next week the speed trials will be
in order. The Healanis expect their
barge to be delivered today.

The Waterbury Democrat says:
 When the Rev. Father Cunningham made his remarks. of greeting to his new parishioners in St. Thomas a few months ago. he asked them to give him the same support they had given the retiring pastor, Rev. Timothy Crowley, DID. Two weeks ago Father Cunningham announced that the an nual entertainment for the benefit of the church would take place in the parish hall and hoped all who could would give it their support. Sunday at all the masses Father Cunningham stated It was with great pleasure he was able to announce the entertain ment would net about S1,550. Consid- ering it was purely a parish affair, participated in by the parishioners and their particular friends only. the an nouncement that it was such a great success created the most pleasing sur- prise: It was as successful if not more so, than any other entertain ment ever given by the parish, and Father Cunningham is delighted.

Hill, where the Balcyon house is To- cated, is an ideal place for a saloon, as it was W>vll removed from the pop ulous section of Watch Hill and so close to Fort Mansfield that the sol diers who visited the place would be practically under military discipline.

Samuel G. Cottrell, for many years chief of the Westerly fire department,

Samuel G. Cottrell, for many years chief of the Westerly fire department, mas succeeded during his long admin istration in modernizing the general system and it is one of the best eouip ped volunteer fire departments in the state Now that this important work has been accomplished, effort is being made to name a new head for the de- partment, those back of the move ment being in the main outside of the active fire department membership Ine annual meeting of the fire dis trtct will be held this CWednesday) evening, when the business of the dis trlct will be transacted which includes the election of the chief and board of assistant engineers.
 The meetings of the fire district are not as rule largely attended the taxpayers being satisfied to leave the ire department matters with those best versed in that particular line; but at this meeting there will be some who will attend fire district meeting for the first time. In order to get an attendance at the meeting, the regular monthly meeting of the Westerly board Of trade was deferred from Tuesday to Wednesday evening, and is to follow the fire district meeting in the Town hall
 Among the plans spoken of for the future conduct of the fire department, with the evident view of getting a successor to Chief Cottrell, is to in- sist that the chief engineer shall act as steward at the engine house. take supervision of the fire alarm system, keep the fire apparatus in condition, sleep ln the fire house, take charge at all 1Tess be on continuous duty, and Tor this menial and authoritative com bindtion service, he receive the sum of S700 a year.
 Another possible innovation is the reduction of the membership in the three fire companies to twelve mem bers each. they to receive a specified salary. This force to have call men as an auxiliary who shall receive pay for the actual time occupied in fire fighting.
 Still another plan is to turn down all local firemen and get an experienced meLhber of some city paid fire depart n2Ant to come to Wetesrly and take charge of the department, at a salary in excess of what is paid in the cities to department members of the highest grade.
