Maui's Love for Clean Sport Adds
Life to Regatta Day.
(By Manuel de Coste.)


Maui's love of sport than that fur
nished by the eighty-seven residents,
including little Johnny Walker, who
came down to encourage the crew
that entered an against current race
last Saturday. Why, I've puzzled
my Uranium and contents studying
over the other communities and fail
to find counterpart of Which sent
these enthusiastic gentlemen sports
who wanted to encourage their fell
lows. 1t is sure thing that Re-
gatta Day has taken on new life and
the lovers of racing may now look
to something more than the con-
ventional Hcalani- Myrtle contests
which have been going on for years.
l am glad Maui was represented.
Someone has said there is no sta
tute of limitations to debt of graft
tude, but L am constrained to believe
that when Harry Murray, at present
member of the Board of Supervi-
sors, was given position in the Asso-
ciated Garage few years ago, he got
the impression that his debt had to
be liquidated within a certain time
and Saturday was the day. Murray
has his habit" and when he gets
under the influence of red liquor he
is positively dirty of tongue, disre-
garding environments and persons
within ear shot. Also he goes where
decent people like to for a meal and
have it in peace. Saturday he was one
of the crew of county officers racing
against members of crew selected
from the territorial officials. He
tuckered out after the race and in
dulged. Then came desire for food
and he visited the Grill where young
Clifford White, son off. Oscar White
of Hall & Son, Ltd, was dining
with friends. Murray seems to have
had friendly feeling for young
White, but was against his father,
and applying vile epithet to him,
as to White Senior, as he was eating,
young White arose and asked why he
should attack his father. An argu-
ment followed and the party went
outside in the alley leading to the
Cunha saloon. Then began battle
royal in style peculiarly that OF
the principals. Queensbury was
not in it for minute, and it was
hammer and tongues, with Kruger
as bottle holder for his fellow super
visor. 1t is said that young White
went down five times from blows in
flicted by Murray, and each time he
came back fresh and handed out
something warm to Murray, land
ing, usually, on the mouth of the
supervisor. | do not know how
many times Murray went down un,
der the sledgehammer blows Of
young White. | counted one and i
was the last. White caught him ;
glancing blow on the chin and theI
slipped one to his solar plexus which
which made yawp and practically
90 out. He said he had enough
and White walked away with hi
friends Giles and Fred Wright, VIII,
had been his dinner guests. A blocl
away from the scene of the fra,
White remarked there was some
thing clicking in his jaw, and OF
the advice of his friends went to {
doctor, who sent him to the hospita
to have the bone in his jaw set. HI
will be out of commission for
week or two. But Murray. TIL
Lord loves the Irish. He went Il
the Regatta ball that night to be oh
served by everybody as the fghtin
man of the Board of Supervisors G
the City and County of Honolulu
