own plans, and using it, they WI
most of the races that year. Myrtle
had ordered a similar boat made by
the same man, but it was not ready
until this year.
The Harada barges are easily dis
tinguished from the others by the way
in which they set in the water. Both
ends OF the barge are much higher
out OF the water than is common in
such crafts.
Barge Named After Duke
Before the Myrtles entered the
races Saturday with their new barge,
il was christened Duke p. Kahana.
moku. Members of the club desired
to name 1t Skinner" after Attorney
Charley Davis, who had contributed
the largest sum towards its purchase.
But Mr.. Davis protested, and because
the club granted him the privilege OF
naming the boat for his generosity,
they allowed his protest, and the boat
was named after the worlds cham
pion swimmer.
Mrs. William Ladd Rosa broke the
bottle of white wine in the chris
tening, and shortly after the boat was
lifted into the water for great VIC

Luther Hough is the little coxswain
who steered the winning barges for
the Myrtle club on Saturday. Hough
first began to steer Myrtle boats over
10 years ago and since that time has
not increased much in size. For a
time others took his place in Myrtle
barges and that was when they began
to lose. His direction OF the Myrtle
crews on the course has wen them

day undoubtedly played an important
part in winning the victory.
Regatta Was Lengthy
Although there were several good
reasons for delay in running off the
races, there was great deal Of IN.
necessary delay. There was some con,
fusion at the start and it took SO
much time to get the races off that
the great majority OF the crowd had
drifted away when the last race was
off. II was almost o'clock when the
regatta came to an end. However
this was as much the fault of the com.
petitors as of any one else.
The monotony of waiting for the
next race was broken by the appear
ance of Frances Cowells, David Ka'
hAnaIpoku and Claire Calligan on surf
boards in the harbor. They spent con
siderable time aqua-planing. They
showed much skill as they were towel
rapidly over the surface of the water
on surfboards by high.powered naval
launch.
With the conclusion OF the annual
regatta celebration, rowing will give
way to football. While the lighthouses
continue to remain open throughout
the winter months, crew work will not
begin again until next summer.
