the personnel Of the victorious crew.
| And, again, another feature of the
occasion, was the fact that Knute Cot.

victorious canoe crews. For nine
straight years Knute and Vincent have
padded canoes in Regatta Day races

All Looked TO Duke
Duke p. Kahanamoku, the world s
greatest water Splinter had the eyes of
the thousands focused on him through
out the day in the several races in
which he pulled on oar. The mighty
cheer that went up when the Myrtle
senior six won was one.half for Duke
personally and the other half for the
balance Of the crew.
His winning of the single scull race
was foFegOne conclusion; not one eX
pected to see him lose II aud he won,
Of course, but the disappointment was
great when Duke, with Arthur Parker
| for shipmatc, lost the senior pairoar
to the Healanis, There were not many
on the waterfront yesterday who ex-
pected to see this pair pulled down
in defeat.
There was also considerable disnp
pontment when Judge Robertson aud
Charlie Chillingworth, as one Grew,
and Delegate KuhiO and +. w. Kle-
balm, ns the other, failed TO deliver
the goods in the much advertised spec
ial pair-oar feature race. To be mild,
it may be said that three gentlemen
wet their feet Judge Robertson wait,

other of the quartet was seen any.

This was the six-paddle canoe race.

Cottrell, Steiner, wilhelm, Keaweamahi
and Kaupiko. The outrigger Canoe

ished second and third.
The race was a good one, the 0utrig-

trOt, but the far more experienced Hui
Nalu paddle experts spurted after 90
ing three fourths of the way and called
everything their own at the finishing
line, which was marked by two rags
instead Of flags.
