keep interest up and to see that the
club didn't slump financially. Chan
Wilder is the live wire who can do
wonders with the club, and who can
steer it 70 a permanent anchorage,
where the members can enjoy the
privileges of a real clubhouse.
This matter Of permanent quarters
is one of the most important with
which the Hawaii Yacht Club has ito
deal, and it is the hope of the mem
bership that before another sailing
season comes round, comfortable quar-
tiers will be secured, preferably at
Pearl Harbor, where the yachtsmen
can be comfortably housed for week
end parties. Until the club has 4

Club finances were also discussed
at last nights meeting, the report be-
ing that if the money owing in sab
scriptiOns and dues was collected, and
a few life members at $1OO' each So
cured, the organization would be Oh a
firm footing financially.

The trade by which he got Leach

good ship luriine. Spaldiag made q
clever speech, i'll which he expressed
the regret or the CIuB that the Homo
lulu trophy had not yet been deIiv-
cred in San Diego. A telegram from
Captain A. h. Davis, owner Of the
Lurline, was read. Captain Davis ex-
pressed regret that he. could not be
at the dinner and sent. his best wishes
to the, club, Captain Harris and the
'Lurline's crew. -.. .-....
Commodore Spaldng next called on
Captain Harris for talk. Captain
Harris is leading a dual existence. II
has long been recognized that he
knows how to get speed out OF q yacht
and that he Is up TO snuff IN the rae
ing game, but it was not until he
spoke last night that his dual life
was discovered, and that came about
by the Lurline's skipper delivering an
after-dinner address that ranks as q
masterpiece. And that speech came
from the bronzed captains heart and
cemented more closely the bond OF
friendship which holds tight in its
grasp members of the San Diego
Yacht Club.
He spoke at length about the open
hospitality Of the Hawaiian yachts
men, and was loud in his praises Of
the Islands, advising every yachtsman
with a boat big enough to make the
cruise, to do so. - ~.
Foreign Lingo" by Crew..
Then the members of the crew were
called on by Commodore Spalding and
in their choicest Kanaka, which Ian
guagn was wished on them during
their sojourn in Honolulu, said nice
things about the San Diego Yacht
Club. They said they said nice things
about the club members, but the local
yachtsmen did not know. Nevertfe-
less, the Lurline bunch got away with
the stuff.
Joe Soften was on the job with a
big appetite and boosted the speedy
Lurllne and the exposition. They are
both winners" declared Joe.

CHAN WILDER IS

chan Wilder was last night elected

San Diego yachtsmen tied down the
safety valves and tore up the speed
regulations when the yacht l.urltne
got back with the transpacific cup
safely on board. Captain Lew Harris
and his crew were wined and dined
and generally Honized in way that
would have turned less steady heads,
and Hawaii came in for her share Of
boosting when the winners were ask
ed to tell of their experiences
Following is the account Of the for
NAL dinner of congratulation which
came off August %, as. given in the
San Diego Union:
Sturdy old timbers in the sea vet
eran Silver Gate resounded with mer-
riment last night as never before
when aboard that craft, contrary
ferryboat in it's halcyon days and
later a dancing pavilion, but now the
Quarters.o of the San Diego Yacht Club,
there gathered iovial crowd of local
yachtsmen to pay homage to the roi-
licking crew of the Lurline, San Di-
egos crack yacht, which under the
able seamanship of Captain Lew B.
Harris won the recent Honolulu race
in nifty style.
Big Eats Win Hearts.
And if homage were ever paid to
a victorious crew, the Lurline's skip
per and it's sailors received it last
night.
Around a festal board about 100
members of the club gathered, with
Captain Harris and his seafaring men
as guests of honor. 1t has beeTtruth-
fully said that the turnpike to most
persons hearts lies through their
mouths, and this was the order Of
things last night.
At 1870 o'clock the anchor was
hoisted by Commodore F. c. Spalding
of the yacht club, and from that time
until late hour dull care was passed
to the discards. The dinner to the
LurIine's crew will go down in the
history OF the yacht club as the crown
ing achievement of its long list OF
smilar functions.
And \the San Diego Yacht Club
members never do things by halves
These natty yachtsmen always go the
limit.
Cup Is Beautifully Engraved.
A great testimonial to his worth
as a seafaring man come to Captain
Harris last night, when during the
dinner he was presented with mag
nificent solid silver cup for his splen-
did victory in the race. The trophy,
which was designed by A. d. Jessop
Of j. JessOp & Sons, is beautiful
specimen OF the silversmith's art. II
stands about two feet high. On one
side is a photograph of Captain Har-
ris shooting the gun. A photograph
of the crew appears on the other side.
At the top are the crossed flags of the
San Diego and Hawaii yacht clubs in
coIors. An anchor and seaweed de-
sign is neatly worked out in the han
dies around the top.
AS it has been said before that the
San Diego Yacht Club never does
things by halves, each member of the
crew was remembered with a gift
which will be highly treasured These
were silver watch fObs, the face being
engraved with a photograph of the
Lurline as it left the harbor for the
starting line at San Pedro.
Drink to Lurline.
The festivities were begun when
Commodore Spalding, who is roll
licking tar either at a banquet or on
the deck of a sea clipper, proposed
that a standing toast be drunk to the

VIII Aid v. /. A. Build Walks

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
Dear Sir: Will you kindly allow the
v. |. A. space In your columns this
week. So many friends have aided the
V. |. A. during the two days fair OF last
week that we feel il is due the public
10 thank them for their aid, and to say
that the cordial support the Association
has received has made it possible for
them to undertake the building of con-
crete walk on the south side of Central
ave. The Association has many de
mands upon its treasury at the present
time. 1t has its taxes, insurance and
the general up-keep of IFS property. 1t
has its proportional assessment for the
hard road and it has assumed to the
town council the payment of the extra
expense entailed TO make wider this
road in certain places and so prevent
the cutting down of the shade trees on
which SO much of the beauty and COM
fort of our town depends. Mr.. Ira
Pratt has generously come forward with
an offer to be one of ten to make up
one hundred dollars for the sidewalk
fund, and Mrs. Ira Pratt with the offer
to be one OF twenty ladies TO raise the
same amount, and are making good
these offers. With this encouragement
on the part of these good friends and
the enthusiasm and interest manifested
by others the Association has decided TO
take up the work of the sidewalk at
once and are now making definite plans
for the work. Thanking you for the
space to make this statement, am very
truly. A. r. TORREY,
Secretary V. |. A.
