If one starts out by saying that yes
terday was Regatta Day in Honolulu,
the story is already told. so far as Ho-
nolulu residents are concerned and ex.
cept for the descriptions and results
OF the races. For Regatta Day is of
such long standing in Honolulu that
everybody knows ,al about it. Most Of
the people either turn out now to take
in the event, or at least have turned
out in previous years.
Regatta Day means that the sun
shone brightly, as it always does; that
the water was blue, as it always Isl
that the waterfront was dirty, as 1t
always is, and that that same dirty
waterfront was gaily decorated with
the maids of Honolulu, who are always
pretty, and the youths of the same city
who are always gallant.
Most of the steamers lying in the
harbOr were gay with flags, but it was
noticeable that few of the yachts were
at all decorated. The view from the
Healani boathouse was obscured by a
big. ugly British collier that was busily
engaged in dumping fine coal onto the
wharf, greatly to the disgust of the
women attired in white, whose dresses
were not improved in appearance by
the flying dust.
The harbor was a busy place al
morning. Everywhere were snorting
tugs, hurrying launches, dainty sal
boats and leisurely rowboats. Hun
dreds of small boys, attired chiefly il
an excuse for bathing suit and {
smile, were much in evidence, swim
ming busily about the harbor, hanging
onto the sterns of launches and row
boats, diving from the tops of the tai
piles and swarming noisily about thu
landing places of the lighthouses.
Both clubhouses were packed al
most to suffocaton. In each was {
stringed orchestra, to the music o.
which enthusiastic couples danced dur
ing the intervals between races. Re
freshments were served both at tn
Healani clubhouse and at the Myrtl
clubhouse
The prevailing color note at the Hea
lani Headquarters was, of course, blue
and at the Myrtle boathouse, red. Blu
there was also a good deal of blue t,
be observed around the Myrtle quar-
tiers and much red in the Healani club
house, for the guests of each visitet
freely back and forth and during tn
races enthusiastic cheers for the Hea
lani crews could be heard from tn
Myrtle place and equally loud yells o
encouragement for the wearers of tn
red emanated from the Healani quar-
tiers.
Nearly all those who thronged tn
waterfront and the two boathouse
wore ribbons and badges or carrie
pennants of the colors of their favor
ties. Many of the Healanis wore thei
colors around their hats, or streamin
from their dresses or coat Japels, Will
the red of the Myrtles was in eyidenc
in similar manner.
Notwithstanding the heat, the steam
ers lying at their docks, the stone wal
along the waterfront, and every avail
able point of vantage were packed wit
interesting spectators of the more O
less exciting races. And the crow
cheered and applauded generously a
yictors and vanquished passed them.
OF course, it was Myrtle day, s
far as results are concerned. But thos
seemed to cause no great perturbatio
of spirit around the Healani boathoust
The music still went on and the war;
but enthusiastic couples still threade
the extremely mazy measures Of walt
and bwostep in the crowded uppe
story.
The Myrtle penthouse, as was TO b
expected. was a scene of enthusiasm
and as the winners of the variou
events returned triumphant, they wei
voc ferOusly cheered
The "fat man s race" was the on
that seemed to arouse the greatest gen
oral interest. Everybody wanted
see whether or not the Heavyweight
could "eOne back - The interest WI
deserved. as the race was the close
of the day,
Healani's one Victory.
