busily hustling about making pre
parations to celebrate Independenee
Day in fitting style. Flags and
bunting were in demand, and the
Stores were soon cleaned out of nil
of their bright colored rags, and
still the demand came pouring in
for flags and bunting with none to
be had for the lovu of money.
The High Street and Main Street
portions of the town were brilliant
with flags and streamers and bunt
ing, and the ebullient spirits of
Young America seamed to catch hold
of old and young alike as the colors
of the nation proudly Hashed from
frontage and house tops in the
breeze, whilst Market Street was
bare and devoid of colors or spirits
as were its Aaiatie tenants.
Friday night the Hilo contingent
of the sports arrived coming by the
Mauna Kea. Saturday morning
the advance guard of the Honolulu
contingent-came in on the Claudine

country on horseback and muleback
until the Park grounds around the
grand stand were crammed full with
a'jolly happy-go-lucky crowd, ready
to lose their money and to accept
whatever the turn of Fortune's
wheel gave them.
The people packed into the grand
stand until there wasn't any room

That Came
Charlotte C. Wins Race, Hits
Reef on Leaving Kahului.
The Charlotte C, manned by
Geo. Crozier, captain; B. Girdler,
Harry Bailey, C. Crozier, L. Marks,
E. Crozier, G, Girvin, M. Bolte, K.
Abies and L. Hough won the yacht
race 'from Honolulu to Kahului.
She was followed closely by the
Gladys and tho Kamehamcha. On
arriving the yachtsmen were taken
to the Puuneno lub house, and
were given a good time.
On the trip up the Charlotte C.
hugged the Molokai shore and got,
fairly smooth water which gave her
wonie advantage over the Kameha
mcha and the Gladys. The two kept
well out from the land and got into
rough water which probably did
much towards landing them on tho
losing end of the race.
The Charlotte C. finished first,
the Gladys second with tho Kame
hanieha third, the interval between
the arrival of each yacht was less
than thirty minutes.
On leaving Kahitlui the Charlotte
C. had "the misfortune to unship
'her rudder and before it could be
fixed she drifted into the breakers
on tho western side of the harbor
entrance, and in spito of tho efforts
of tho crew got on to the rocks.
Two of her crew swam ashore for
help and got the Leslie Baldwin to
come out to pull her off. The tug
threw a line aboard and proceeded
to pull, but in the meantime tho
tide had fallen and the efforts of the
tug resulted in a broken hawser.
The Charlotte C. remained hard and
fast on tho reef fiom Monday even
ing to Wednesday noon when she
was pulled off at high tide and tow
ed back into Kahului harlwr, whore
she will have to be repaired as she
had suffered considerable damage. It
is estimated it will take all of a week
to put her in shape for a return to
Honolulu.

to beat around Kahakuloa point
owing to tho rough weather and
went to Lahalna.

were limping badly, and whichever

After the official program had
been completed, a match raco was
pulled off for three-quarters of a

following comment.
"ThcMaui races were tho host ever,

Island satisfied with everything.
Not a 'kick' was registered on tho run
