Pine Regatta
The Regatta promises to be beau.
~ and the manner in which the Hilo
oarsmen are getting down to real hard
work and the manner In which they are
sending the beats through the water
on Reed Bay, promises well for the
success Of the Hilo representatives.
The oarsmen are in strict training
and they are doing fine work. Their
time trials are, Of course. kept secret,
but enough Is known TO assure all Hi.
loites that their crews are doing wen
and that they will put up even 4 bet
ter fight than they did at the last July
Fourth regatta. Every afternoon the
men are out on the bay and they are
accompanied by a fast launch upon

trial rowing that has been done has
pleased this very particular coach and
he wears peculiar, satisfied smile

also coming along well and il, with
the lantern parade Of the Japanese

There will be a special excursion
steamer from Honolulu and it will
leave the capital city on Tuesday,
July 3, at Eve o'ciock in the afternoon.
This will bring the boat in early on
Wednesday morning, July Fourth, so
the three hundred or more visitors
win be able to see everything that is
doing in Hilo on the Fourth and then
90 to the volcano or elsewhere for
Thursday and, tired and happy, later
on on Friday, can board the steamer
| for Honolulu which city will be
reached on Saturday morning. It
looks good to many Honolulu men
and they are said to be striving to get
away from the Tuesday afternoon till
the Saturday morning. Let US hope
they succeed.
