The baseball game between the IIilos
and the Mooheau team was won by the
former by a score of to 5. The de.
feated team objected on the grounds
that the winners had had few mem.
bers from the G. A. G. team in their
nine, but as no protest had been made
until after the game was over, no no.
tice was taken of the kick.
Yacht Race.
The yacht race was particularly in
teresting owing to the fact that it was
the first which Hilo had seen for many
a year, and it probably marked the re-
vlval of this excellent sport here. Out
of the seven yachts which had entered,
six started, the seventh, Dan Amina Is
Leilehua, rolling her mast out while
on the way from her berth in Reed Is
Bay to the starting point.
There was a rather heavy swell rln-
ming, and this proved too much for
some of the smaller boats. Canario's
Raio, and one of the Reinhardt broth
er S boats, sailed by George Reinhardt,
won the first and second prize respec

was very interesting. The other par

The other water sports were also
very interesting, and the various swim
ming events, particularly the one where
the prizes were ducks which had to be
captured on the bounding wave, were
lively to a degree. The double canoe
race had to be called off for lack of
entries, but the single event was pulled
off in good shape, the winners being as
follows: LIST prize, Henry Ulii; second
prize, Keawe Namahoe; third prize,
Claudine Nakaena.
In the evening the great event was
the japanese lantern parade. Japa-
nese from Honomu sent in a number
of boarding school boys carrying trans
parencies bearing the inscription
" Fourth of July, 1911," and similar
