ancient CANOES OF
WAR IN SAIL RACE
Higgins 0utrigger Finishes First
In Exciting Event At Waikiki
.%.:. Yesterday =.

One Of the objects of the Outrigger
Canoe Club is to revive old Hawaiian
sports, and yesterday, as a feature of
the regatta which opened recently, a
race for large sailing canoes was held
of Waikiki. The course lay from the
diving stand to Castles Point, then to.
ward the harbor to point of Brown s,
and back to the finishing line. The
distance was little over five miles. #
The three big Kamehameha canoes
and two others were entered, Ronald
Higgins steering No. j, Edric Cook
No. 2, "Dadn Center No. 3, Duke Ka.
hanamoku No. 4, and Tyson Norgaard
No. 5. '
Duke in No, 4 got of to a fiyine
start, leaving the others becalmed on
the line. Then Center in No. 3, Cook in
No. and Norgaard in No. 8 took the
wind and began edging up on Duke.

When rounding the first turn off

put him out of the running, and on the
second turn Norgaard had some pilikia
which necessitated his disseminating the
race. Cooks crew oyerhauled Duke on
the turn at Brown and seemed to
have the race in hand, but Higgins in
the big warhorse began picking up,
made Dukes bunch look as if they
were standing still and set out after

outriggers were flying up in the air
on the last tack, and as Higgins began
to lessen the distance between number
on and number, two, everyone got ex.

his last tack, and won, although by a
narrow margin. If Cook had taken
long tack instead of two short ones
near the end Of the race, he would have
won. Duke erept up on Cook and fin.
ished good third.

II was probably the best sailing race
ever held in Hawaiian waters, and

OVER OLD ROUTE
Ride Along Ancient Stage Coach Trail.

Jacob Ptdge, South Kiliihgly, the oldest stage coach driver living in this part of New England, has been taken by First Se1ectman John Gilbert for a ride over a part of what was for many years his pike route between Providence and Hartford.
 MT. Pidge. now in his e7th year, was delighted with his automobile tour and looked again with avidious i'm terest at the old scenes along the stage route between this place and Wif1imantic.
 Between Danie1son and Brooklyn he pointed out to MT. Gilbert the knoll on which the notorious Watkins was hung, way back in the early 30's and mentioned that he was a witness of the execution, as he had been of the post-morten examination of the body Of Mrs. Watkins. who was the victim of the crime for, which her husband rafd with his life.
 Mir. Pfdge retains a keen mind and splendid memory and at different points along the line he recalled bus mess enterprises that f1ourfshed in the days when he sat atop a stage coach, but which have since disappeared and the memory of which has vanished from the mind of about every living person.
 MT. Pidge's joy ride included a side trip to Phoenfxville, in the town of Eastford. that he might have an op- portunfty to again look upon the bur fad place of General Nathaniel Lyon whose funeral is recorded as having heen the largest in the history of Wfndham county and at which Mr. Pidge was present.
