Winners Deserve Credit.
The race was the cleanest and clos
est ever rowed in Hawaiian waters,
besides being by far the most i'm
portant event fever brought off dur
ing a local regatta. 1t was rowed in
! the record breaking time of .13 min.
i35 Sec, which clips no less than IA
i5seconds off the mark set last year by
! the Myrtle seniors. :
All possible credit is due the Wis
/; itors for taking first place from crews
thoroughly familiar with course and
climate, and one of the finest fea-
lures Of the regatta was the general
Willingness of everyone to accord
honor where honor was due. There
was no petty Jealousy or Grabbing
EoVer the win. The Alamedas were
given a rousing cheer as, too joyful
Ito be tired, they rested on their oars
opposite the yacht Hawaii, on which
were the judges and a boatload of
spectators, and smilingly waved their
greetings to the crowd. What that
cheer would have been like had a
local crew carried off the honors can
only be guessed at, but, at any rate,
the ovation that the visitors got was
courteous and sincere. H..
The, real rousing reception was,
waiting for the Healanis when they
padded back to their own boathouse.
for their decisive victory over their
oldtine rivals, the Myrties, counted
almost as much as winning the race
itself. Jim Lloyd's men had clean
ed up" the Red and White. The
dreaded Myrtle seniors had been made
to take the. wash of the Healani boat.
That was enough for the loyal sup
porters of the Blue and White, and
the cheering, Misunderstanding and back
Shaping would have taken the top
story off the clubhouse, but for the
Tact that the top story was held down
by its own load Of cheering, stamping
fnaniacs.
Everybody Happy.
President James Jaeger of the He
alani club and Coach Lloyd were
storm centers of congratulation, while
every member Of the crew came in
for his share of lionizing as he came
out dripping from the shower rooms.
Then the Alamedas, who are enjoy
ing the hospitality Of the Healanis,
came in from their little exhibition
swing that followed the finish of the
race, and the Misunderstanding was done
an over again. The unusual situation
of victor and vanquished, both look
ing on themselves as winners, was in
evidence. The Alamedas had won the
race and lifted the cup, and they were
more than satisfied. The Healanis
had downed the Myrtles. and in the
JOY of this achievement they forgot
that they had been nosed out of first
place in the big race. So both crews
went round looking and feeling like
winners. and everyone round the club
house was in a spirit of high citation.
The final touch to the ioyfest came
when the ladies of the Alameda party
came from the judges boat to the
Healani club and proceeded to storm
the lower regions usually sacred to
the male of the species. But no one
cared, least of all the ladies them

was a grand race right out to the

that each boat had an individual mark

swung round their marks within half

Coming back bow on, it was eX-

finish line to tell which, boat was real

reached a point midway between the
Myrtle and Healani boat houses. Then
it was seen that the final struggle lay
between the Coasters and the Blue
and White, and that it would be bat-
tie to the last stroke.
Throughout the race the difference
in style was very apparent, the short
stroke of the Alamedas sending their
barge through the water in a success
sion of jerks. which form was in
strong contrast to the smooth slide
work and rythmical swing of the
Healanis, who used slower stroke
than both the Myrtles and Puunenes.
However, the Alameda stroke landed
the crew over the line first, and that
is the result the men were after.

A GRASPING CORPSE.

1t will he remembered that the Su.
preme Court of the United States dis.
solved, slaughtered, dispersed, and
otherwise obliterated the Standard Oil
trust The chief branch of this mon
opoly was the Standard Oil company
of New jersey. When the general
holding company, popularly known as
the Standard Oil trust, was dissolved
by the court. the Standard Oil company
Of New Jersey received its proportion
Of the outstanding stock of the big
holding company, As soon as it got
it's breath, it began TO raise the price
of oil, and all of the other companies
which had previously been united TO
form the general holding trust, ad-
vanced il correspondingly, Every
shareholder in the New Jersey cor
poration has precisely the same interest
in every other one of the oil companies
that he had in the general holding com
pany before il was dissolved. And so
the same stockholders own the stock
of all the concerns, Just as they owned
the stock of the big holding concern.
1t is inevitable that they should all
work together, aud they do work to-
gether and cooperate in the successive
increases in the price Of oil.
The profits made under this new sys-
TEN are evidently much greater than
the profits under the old system; for
the stock Of the Standard Oil company
| of New Jersey has been steadily ad-
vancing ever since the partition OF the
oil companies and the independent ca
| reer of the different branches When
\ the dissolution was made. the stock of
the Standard Oil company WAS quoted
in the market at S675 a share. this on
the day that the supreme Court deci
sion was handed down. The highest
! previous price was $s45 in 1901. And

pany Of New Jersey now sells at $500
