SUBSCRIPTIONS ARE
RAPIDLY COMING IN
HAWAII STARTS FOR
COAST ON WEDNESDAY
Everyone Is Invited to Donate To-
ward Fund - Small Amounts
Just as Welcome as Large.

Yesterday start was made by the
various committees who have charge of
the collecting of subscriptions for the
Hawaii yacht fund. A most favorable
response was made TO the canvass
and tidy sum Of money was donated
by the citizens who have SO far been
approached. Mr. Vetlesen was a
busy man, and he was most successful
In his interviews with the doctors of
the city. Any old amount went with
Vetlesen. and he got together a large
number Of 81 bids; these were Just
as acceptable as larger amounts. and
came more frequently and quicker.
Many OF the business houses are
putting out cards announcing that
subscriptions are welcomed. and II Is
thought that In this manner much coin
may be gathered In. A quick. lively
campaign is what is wanted. and ev-
erybody should be able to spare a
few dollars or even a single PUNK for
the good cause. The Hawaii will ad.
vertise these islands more than half
a dozen other schemes that could be
mentioned. and people all over the
world will find out that Hawaii Is
more than few specks in the Pacific
ocean.
The other islands have been asked
to contribute to the yacht fund and
as anything that boosts the Paradise
of the Pacific. boosts the whole group
of course II Is certain that the people
Of Hawaii, Maui and Kauai will join
In with Oahu on the proposition.
Frank Baldwin has been asked to
take charge OF the Maui end OF the
subscription and the tight little island
will surely respond In the way Its PEG
pie are famous for doing things.
Kauai IL being looked after by J.
II. Coney and the Garden island resi-
dents will do their end of the bust
ness. There are many on Kauai who
will feel It their duty to dig" for tn,
good cause and a good sized purse
should come from there.
A pleasing feature In the collection
line is the way In which the Chinese
and Japanese are coming through
with subscriptions for the yacht fund
and II speaks well for the way every
nationality gets together for sports
sake In Hawaii.
The collectors will be around today
and everyone who can spare a dollar
or so should give a helping hand TO
the men who are going to represent
these islands In the trans-Pacifc race.
With regards to prizes for the trans.
Pacific race, two cups have been OF.
fered by the Promotion Committee.
This was decided at a meeting held
yesterday afternoon, after w. II. Nc.
Inerny had done some talking on ad-
yertising nnd financial methods.
The cups will be manufactured In
Honolulu and It Is thought that they
will be OF calabash type. The visit OF
the mainland yachts will. according to
Mr.. McInerny. be a benefit all round.
as the crews will spend at least $500
each in the city. and In that way the
money subscribed by the people Of
the islands will all come back In the
long run.
The Hawaii is being gotten ready
for her departure. and on Wednesday
next at 4 o'clock the trim little craft
will start on the first leg Of her long
tourney. The crew has not finally
been selected as several men are In
doubt as to whether they can get
away from their employment for the
time necessary to make the voyage.
