teur sport that men like Lloyd Conk-
ling, w. Hebron, Tom King, Bill
Lyle and dozen other moving spir-
its in the Tiealani and Myrtle boat
clubs determined that the art Of
rowing should be revived and once
more claim the interest that II de-
serves. q
Yesterday mornings contests be-
tween the oldtime rivals was the |
cleanest bit of dead-game amateur |
sport that has been seen in Homo
lulu for long time.
And, Joy Of joys, the good old He
alanis have at last removed the hoo
doc under which they have labored
for Ave years. The boys who, time
after time, have come up to face GER
tain defeat at the hands Of the Myr-
ties at last turned the tables and
captured two out Of the three races
after desperate efforts.
The barge race went to the Myr-
ties, but the shell and pair-oar
events were won by Healanis, after
contests that will long linger In the
minds of those fortunate enough to
see them.
Lloyd Conkling must 5e given
most of the kudos. Besides acting
as cox, he has coached the crews in
the finer points Of the game, and 1t
!. was his excellent judgment OF pace
that enabled the Healanis to wear
down their doughty opponents in the
shell and pair-oar events.
And what sort OF greeting did
the gallant Healanis get when they
won out In the two races! 1t was
simply great. and the way utter
strangers shook hands with one an
other. and yelled congratulations,
was a treat to see. No longer was
the broom hoisted on the Myrtle
shed in token OF a clean sweep, as
has been the way for years past. The
gallant Healanis have come into
their own again, and their wins
mean everything for rowing In this
Territory.
From now on the oldtime interest
Twill be taken in the regattas and
: SUNDAY races. No longer will the
. events be foregone conclusions be-
fore the crews face the starter. In
future the crowds that flock to the
Waterfront will be assured of good,
hard and close races.
The Healanis have come to life
with a vengeance, and Conkling
Hebron, Lightfoot & Co. are to be
VERY much congratulated.

Now for the crowd and the races
As everybody is aware, II was per
feet day, and the harbor was like q
