"I have heard of surf shooting in Sydney," says "W.T.M." (Williamstown), "and, as I am spending some time at Sorrento, would like to know how to practise it.
Can you give me any hints."

You need to begin in shallows where you can stand on the bottom and get the benefit of a jump off with the wave.
Of beginners 99 per cent start too late.
You need to jump off just before the white wave crest appears on the wave which is breaking behind you.
You can only find the right moment by contiuous practice.
When you have judged it correctly in the shallows go out to deeper water.
Take the wave at the same time, making one sweep with your right arm and one kick of the left leg, the left arm being down along the side.
After tjhe first strong stroke the right arm, like the left lies along the side, the legs straight back.
It is altogether a matter of timing and balance, which you can learn with long practice.
In Sydney they say it takes two years' practice to make a good surf-shooter.

While use of surf boards is forbidden in Sydney, but where there are not so many people bathing you can do so fine shooting with it.
The board - as light as you an get it -should be 2ft or slightly under in length, and not more than 18in. in width.
Time the wave as already as suggested.
The board is gripped in the centre at each end, the further edge inclining upward from the water at an angle of less than 45 degrees.
It is held at arms length.
Try it only where there are not many people bathing together at one time.

The Outrigger Club Is making a great bid for public favor this year, according to the plans discussed at the first meeting of tne new directors on Saturday afternoon.
An effort is to be made to increase the interest at present taken in surf-boarding, canoeing and swimming, and special energy will be directed to getting the younger members of the community interested in the sport.
In order to put the ideas of the new directorate into effect as soon as possible a committee consisting of Allan Herbert, Theodore Cooper, A. H. Ford, Edmund Melanphy and Irwin Spalding was elected to draw up the plans for the desired competitions, and to work up general interest.

Several much needed additions are to be made to the clubhouse, including a new bathhouse, in which showers will be installed.
The present directorate is nothing if not enthusiastic, and their enthusiasm bids fair to bring the Outrigger Club into the front rank as an institution to which all swimmers should belong.
After the success attained by the swimming meet held at Fort Shatter on Friday evening, it will not be suprising if swimming Ikhmm here during the coming summer.

The Outrigger Club will probably be able to enter a team in the next meet, and this in itself will add additional interest to any aquatic function held here.
The more competitive clubs there are the better for sport generally.

Surf-bathing as a sport is, without doubt, one of our most popular diversions, and notwithstanding the fact that it is attended with an element of risk, as is evidenced by the recent calamity at Coogee, it is safe to say that it has come to stay.
Many of our regular surf-bathers have become highly expert in shooting the breakers, and their exploits in that fascinating pastime are at once the envy and the admiration of the novice.
But, after all, we are only children at the game.
Centuries ago the natives of Hawaii had attained a pitch of perfection at the art of surf riding which would leave our best exponents far in the rear, and the bronze skinned Hawaiian of to-day is just as expert as his ancestors.
There, however, the surf-board is in vogue, and almost incredible feats are performed by the expert riders.
It is quite a common thing for the surfer, standing on his board before the crest of a roller, to be carried over half a mile at Waikiki Beach, near Honolulu; while after a stormn, the rider can start his trip over a mile out to sea and be landed right up on the beach.
At HIIlo Bay there are rollers after a big storm that carry native riders 5 miles at a run, and on the island of Nichau there are

said to be even more wonderful feats performed.
To stand on these frail boards and guide them with the feet is itself an accomplishment requiring skill, nerve, and constant practice; but the Hawaiian riders leap from one board to another at full speed, climb on each other's shoulders; and perform other remarkable feats.
The natives have, however, a serious rival in the white man, who is becoming almost as expert on the surf-board.

A most interesting account of this sport, by one of the Honolulu experts, appears in a new magazine entitled the Mid-Pacific.
This periodical, which is splendidly got up, is published in Honolulu, one of its main objects being to promote tourist traffic across the Pacific, and to boom Honolulu, and other countries such as New Zealand and Australia, which would be included in the tourist's itinerary.
This is with out doubt a matter of great importance to the countries concerned, and the Commonwealth Government has shown its appreciation of the scheme by delegating Mr. Percy Hunter, the Director of the New South Wales Immigration and Tourist Bureau, to represent it at a Pan-Pacific Congress, which is to be held at Honolulu this month.
The Mid Pacific, if it obtains the circulation its promoters anticipate, should do a great deal to arouse interest in travel on this side of the world.

There are two kinds of boards for surf-riding.
One is called the olo, and the other the a-la-la, known also as omio.
The olo was made of wiiiwill- a very light, buoyant wood- some 3 fathoms long, 2 or 3 feet wide, and from 6 to 8 inches thick along the mlddle of ,the board, lengthwise, but rounding toward the edges on both upper and lower sides.
It is well known, that the olo was only for the use of the chiefs; none of the common people used it. They used the a-la-ia, which was made of koa, or ulu.
Its length and width was similar to the olo, except in thickness, it being but of 1 to 2 inches thick along Its centre.

The line of breakers is the place where the surf rises and breaks at deep sea.
This is called the kulana nalu.
Any place nearer or closer in, where the surf rises and breaks again, as it sometimes does, is called the ahua, known also as kipapa or puao.

There are only two kinds of surfing in which riding is indulged; these are called Kakala, known also as lauloa or long surf, and the ohu, sometimes called opuu.
The former is a surf that rises, covering the whole distance from one end of the beach to the other. This, at times, forms in successive waves that roll in with high, threatening crest, finally falling over bodily.
The first of a series of surf waves usually partakes of this character, and is never taken by a rider, as will be mentioned later.
The ohu is a very small comber that rises up without breaking, but of such strength that it sends the board on speedily.
This is considered the best, being low and smooth, and the riding thereon easy and pleasant, and is therefore preferred by ordinary surf-riders.
The lower portion of the breaker is called honun, or foundation, and the portion near a cresting wave is termed the muku side, while the distant, or clear side, as some have expressed it, is known as the lala.

During calmn weather, when there was no surf, there were two ways of mIaking or coaxing it practised by the ancient Hawaiians, the generally adopted method being for a swimming party to take several strands of the sea coavolvulus vine, and, swinging it around the head, lash it down unitedly upon the water until the desired result was obtained.

The swimmer, taking position at the line of breakers, waits for the proper surf.
As before mentioned, the first one Is allowed to pass by.
It is never ridden, because its front is rough.
If the second comber is seen to be a good one it is sometimes taken, but usually the third or fourth is the best, both from the regularity of its breaking and the foam-calmed surface of the sea through the travel of its predecessors.

In riding with the olo or thick board, the board is pointed landward, and the rider, mounting it, paddles with his hands and impels with his feet to give the board a forward movement, and when it receives the momentum of the surf, and begins to rush downward, the skilled rider will guide his course straight, or obliquely, apparently at will, according to the spending character of the surf ridden, to land himself high and dry on the beach, or dismount on nearing it, as he may elect.
This style of riding was called kipapa.
In using the olo great care had to be exercised in its management, lest from the height of the wave- if coming in direct - the board would be forced into the base of the breaker, instead of floating lightly and riding on the surface of the water, in which case, the wave-force being spent, the reaction throws both rider and board into the air.

In the use of the olo the rider had to swim around the line of surf to obtain position, or be conveyed thither by canoe.
To swim out through the surf with such a buoyant bulk was not possible, though it was sometimes done with the thin boards, the a-la-ia.
These latter are good for riding all kinds of surf, and are much easier to handle than the olo.

Kaha nalu is the term used for surf swimming without the use of the board, and was done with the body only.
The swimmer, as with a board, would go out for the position, and, watching his opportunity, would strike out with hands and feet, to obtain headway, as the approaching comber, with its breaking crest, would catch him, and with his rapid swimming powers bear him onward with swift momentum, the body being submerged in the foam, the head and shoulders only being seen.
Kalha experts could ride on the lala, or top of the surf, as if riding with a board.

Extracts from The Mid Pacific Magazine, January, 1911.

The beach (Waikiki) is but a short, distance from there, and after a rapid change to bathing suits we had a taste of the greatest recreation of the
Hawaiian people, riding the surfboard.
The board itself is from 6 to 10 feet long- and somewhat pointed at the ends.
On these you paddle out all the way from half a mile to a mile, where the first big rollers begin, and after getting started in front of one it will carry you at express train speed until you reach the beach.
The water was the finest I was ever in, but our time was short and, after a few minutes of pleasure, we reluctantly tramped back to the bathhouse and were,soon again spinning over the lovely roads for which Honolulu is famous, back to the ship.

The fourth annual carnival of the Manly Surf Club was held on Saturday jn delightful weather.
Crowds flocked to the beach to witness the entertainments and displays by the various clubs and the numerous water champions.
The Manly and Port Jackson Steamship Company had a frequent service of boats, and at times the Corso and the beach were one mass of moving humanity.
At the rendezvous at the southern end of the beach good order prevailed, a barricade having been erected to give the competítors sufficient freedom to carry on the displays.
This year's carnival was conducted without the usual fancy dress proccession from the wharf.
On the beach, however, the spectators were well catered for, the proceedings opening with a grand parade of all the surf clubs, with their life saving appiaratus and appliances.
The teams dressed in costume marched past in excellent order and received an ovation from the crowd.
A feature of the day's entertainment was the magnificent surf-shooting; by the clubs.
Individual surf-shooting on boards was also indulged in and the Hawaiian troupe of board shooters, gave exhibition which was loudly applauded.
The lifesaving boat was not available but a small canoe steered by Mr Fred Notting, of Manly, made many successfuul shoots through the breakers.
A team from the members of the Manly Ladíes Life-savng Club gave a capital exhibition of the work of lifesaving.
An unusual and novel event was arranged for the termination of this year's carnival.
Manly showed the vast gathering the tactics likely to he displayed by an invasion of the "Yellow Peril."
Port Darwin was selected as the scene and a large army of "Brown Boys" made elaborate preparation to have a successful display.
The Chinese had overthrown the marine defenders by cunning and deceitful methods, but were subsequently met face to face with a large army of the hardy surf club members, reinforced by a troup of boy scouts, who played great havoc with the invaders.
The noise and din of the throng were sufficient to expel any enemy without firing a shot.
Cannons roared, however, and the spectators were worked up to a great pitch of excitement.

The Manly Council had given the club permission to take up a collection and a nice sum was annexed during the day.

The results of the various competitions were as follows:-
Fancy Dress Three legged Race: Nicholls Brothers (North Steyne), 1; Watson and Munro (Manly Surf Club), 2; Cavill and Healy, 3.
The costumes worn were many and varied in the fancy dress parade, the winner being disguised as "Blue Bottle King,  I. Curnow was successful for first place; Roy Lawrence (for Harem skirt), second; A. Watson (Chinaman) for most original.
North Steyne secured the verdict for the grand parade, with Port Kembla second.
Rescue and Resuscitation Competition: North Steyne, 54.1 points, 1; Manly No. 1, 51.3 points; Manly No. 2,  36.3 points, 3.
Other teams competing were Port Kembla, Coogee and Freshwater.
Surf Race:  J. Grieve (Bondi), 1; J. Lord (Bondi), 2.
Alarm Reel Race: Coogee 2m 14s, 1; North Steyne No. 1 2m 17s,  2.
Pillow Fight: F. Knight (Little Coogee), 1; H. Davis (North Steyne),  2.

The annual carnival of the Freshwater Surf and Life-saving Club was held on Saturday afternoon in glorious weather.
Frewshwater beach ranks as the premier surf bathing beach in the State, and it was not surprising to see such a large crowd present to witness the various displays.
The feature of the Freshwater carnival is the fancy dress procession from the Manly pier to the beach, a distance of nearly two miles.
Close on 50 members, attired in all varieties of costumes, formed the procession and a huge crowd escorted them through the Corso and along the ocean beach at North Steyne to the rendovous. Thousands had congregated on the various points of vantage, and the scene on the heights of Queenscliff overlooking the beach was very picturesque.
A large committee controlled the arrangements but the bulk of the work was entrusted to the hon. secretary,  Mr W. R. Waddington.
The carnival was the most successful yet held by the club.

A feature of the day's events was the fine surf-shooting by the Misses Lewers of Queenscliff.
The Manly Surf Club's boat was in evidence, and several successful trials through the breakers were made.
Mr. Fred Notting again contributed to the programme by venturing through the surf in his frail canoe, "The Big Risk."
North Steyne suffered defeat at the hands of the Manly Surf Club team No 2.
This is the first time the black and gold has been defeated for some years.

The results were as follow:-
Dusting the Beltman - Wyman (Stockton), 1; Moxon (Little Coogee), 2.
Rescue and Rescuscitation competition -  Manly No. 2., 1; Manly No. 1., 2; Bondi Surf Club, 3.
Apple Race - Levi (Freshwater), 1; Wyman (Stockton), 2.
Obstacle Race - Moxon (Little Coogee), 1; Fraser (Freshwater), 2.
Alarm Reel Race - Manly No. 3, 1; North Steyne, 2.
Pushball Match - Manly, 1.
Pillow Fight - Knight (Little Coogee), 1; Mane (Freshwater), 2.
Climbing Greasy Pole - Knight (Little Coogee), 1; Mason (Freshwater), 2.

Josh Tucker was sitting on the lid of the land department this morning, and judging from his activity the lid was hot.
He stated that in a short time the Hauula homesteaders will receive the 99 years homestead leases for which they have been waiting so long and anxiously.
There are between twenty and thirty of these homesteads and the majority of the homesteaders long ago fulfilled the conditions required during the six years' probationary period, at the expiration of which they were told to come to town and get their papers.

They have been coming to town ever since, on foot, horseback and in pake vegetables wagons, and now, probably because of their importunity, they are going to get their papers.
These homesteads are mostly held by old natives whose forbears received the land from Kamehameha and whose descendants have lived on it ever since.
They live a simple, quiet and happy life, fishing when the weather permits and living on their pigs, poultry and garden truck when the elements are unfavorable to the pursuit of the succulent crayfish and the elusive squid.

The lid is off along the Beach
   And once more in the tide
The tourists flop and flounder
   And the wild sea-horses ride;
The fat man basks beside the shore
   In undiluted glee,
And nymphic limbs are unconcealed
   Once more at Waikiki.

Surf-boards are now in large demand
   And bathing suits have "riz,"
There's sweat upon the brow of him
   Who brews the festive fizz;
The guitar thrums and tinkles,
   And 'neath the cocoa tree
They're mooning and they're spooning
   As of old in Waikiki.

The conger and the sand-dab,
   The porpoise and the shark
Are greeting old friends back again
   And joining in the lark.
"Come in, the water's fine,"
   The whole town's slogan seems to be -
Banzai! Kokua! Hip hurrah!
   Aloha! Waikiki!

There are a few places in the islands offering such inducements to the brainweary man or woman equal to Haleiwa.
The white sand beach for bathers, the golf links and the tennis courts contribute to the enjoyment of guests at this famous hotel.
This is a good time to consider where the vacation will be spent, and a good time to decide on Haleiwa.

The good ship Likelike with one hundred and fifty people and Alexander Hume Ford aboard steamed out of the harbor at six last night and stood off for Maui
That was the only standoff recorded, the Public Service Association having insisted on cash down and a deposit for the mattresses before allowing anyone on the ship.
Ford distributed Mid-Pacific Magazines and red capsules as counterirritants to insomnia, the idea being that the literature would cause the brain to spin in a contrary direction to that of the Molokai channel and while the gray matter hesitated whether to go starboard or port the capsule could get in its work.
The magazine this morning had a wide circulation up and down the windward side of Maui and several dead sharks have been thrown up by the waves.

The excursionists waved their last alohas just outside the sewer outfall at six-fifteen.
Signals of distress were run up as the rounded Diamond Head and a wireless explained that Ford was insisting that everyone sleep with his head toward the engine.
Other wirelesses kept coming in during the night as follows:

Aboard the Likelike seven-fifteen- Ford has threatened to put Captain Naopala in irons.
Captain insists on ringing the ships bell overy thirty minutes.
Ford says his excursion is no funeral and the tolling has to quit.

Aboard the Likelike seven-twenty-two- Ford has just finished organizing the Salt Sea and Open Air Athletic Organization with himself as president.
Says the December number of the Mid-Pacific to go to press this week will have a special illustrated story on the organization from a noted writer Alexander F. Hume.
Is now canvassing for subscriptions.

Aboard the Likelike seven-thirty-eight- capsules are running short.
Ford has reversed the Stars and Stripes and is burning a blue light
Offers if all else fails to return on a surf board for a fresh supply of capsules and more magazines.
Is with difficulty restrained.

Aboard the Likelike eight-twelve- Crossing the Equator Club is formed with Ford as the Grand Equinox.
He says the equator is an imaginary line and may just as well be imagined here as anywhere else.
Announces a magazine story entitled "Lines I Have Crossed," by that eminent writer H. F. Alexander.

Aboard the Likelike eight-eighteen- The engines have skipped two beats.
Ford appointed a committee to watch the deck and has gone below to investigate.
It is snowing magazines.

Aboard the Likelike eight-thirty-two- Ford is still bellow.
A search party is being organized.

Aboard the Likelike eight-forty- Search party reports back.
Ford is safe but three of the engine crew were overcome by the hot air in the stokehold.
Ford had to suspend argument in favor of a Stokers' Branch of the Hands-Across-the-Counter Club until the firemen came to.

(Special Wireless) Alexander Hume Ford to H. P. Wood- Everybody's happy in Hawaii.
Cable Taft that I will get in and help to carry reciprocity and arbitration provided Percy Hunter agrees to put Australia in the game.
Get Joe Cooke to advance cable charges.
Will organize the Anglo-Saxon Get Together Club on return.

Aboard the Likelike nine-fifteen- Ford announces that he is turning in.
So is everyone else.
Good night.

At the present time nothing; more definite than talk about the possibility of holding races between the young ladies mentioned has been done, yet there seems to be a likelihood of this talk turning into action within a short time. If Miss Perkins can be persuaded to reconsider her determination never again to race it is certain that the Sheffield sisters will consent to meet her. With these three entered the other three mentioned will probably; get in, too, and some rare swimming is sure to result. A keen sense of rivalry exists between the swimmers of the beaches of Southern California which a swimming meet such as the one spoken of would settle to a certain extent. Long Beach is extremely proud of its swimming girls and several of them are well known to visitors at that resort. It is no uncommon sight to see a crowd standing on the beach watching the young ladies they; dive through the waves, bobbing; up and down out beyond the breaker line or come riding swiftly toward the shore on surf board.

Riding the Surf

The report of Secretary Wood to the Promotion Committee this week is as follows:

Copies of Jack London's new book, "Cruise of the Snark", are expected soon.
I have written to the publishers thanking them for their kindness in granting us permission to reprint the chapters on "Surf Riding" and "A Trip to Haleaka."

That the newly formed Nui Nalu intend to play an important part in the aquatic events of Saturday next as shown by their list of entries, which comprise some of the best  known natatorial experts in the Territory.

The club was formed for the purpose of taking part in water sports on a bona flde amateur basis and with this in view afflliatton has been made with the local branch of the  A. A. U.

The club's membership Is made up chiefly of young men who swim and surf regularly at Waikiki, but who are not attached to the Outrigger Club.

While the club was formed for thepurpose of entering the coming meet, the project met with such abundant measure of support from its very
start that it will take a permanent place among the local sporting and athletic organizations and will enter men at all future swimming meets and
canoes at all local regattas where such events are on the program.

Provided the Regatta Day committee put up trophies in lieu of cash prizes, as has been the rule in, the past, the Hul Nalu will enter four and six-paddle canoe crews.

Archie Robertson is one of the club's live wires and he is greatly enthused over the Hui Nalu's chances of winning pointage honors at the coming carnival.
Asked as to his views on the different events, he had the following to say:
"I expect that Vincent Genoves will win the half-mile swim.
"The fifty and hundred-yards events should be won for our club by Duke Kahanamoku, whom I consider to be one of the fastest swimmers in the islands today.
"The mile race looks to lie between Mayne of the Healanis and David Center of the Myrtles.
"The fancy diving contest will be won by George Freeth, provided he obtains his A.U.U. ticket which he has been after.
"I think that I have a fair chance of taking the plunge event myself, anyhow, I mean, to have a good try.
"The four-forty yards will be a hard race.
There are a very level lot of men entered and I won't attempt to pick the winner.
"In the two-twenty-yards Cunha of the Healanis should just about beat  D. Center of the Myrtles, but if he does so it will only be after a gruelling race.
"The Hui Nalu should have no trouble in taking the relay."

The Hui Nalu boys are practicing every day off the Moana Hotel over a course which has been laid out.

Special pains will be taken to have the timing accurately done, and the times as recorded will furnish a reliable line on the standard of local swimming.

There are a number of interesting developments to record in connection with the aquatic carnival to be held on Saturday afternoon next in the Bishop slip.

The following new enrtries cme to hand before the closing of the book last night:
Myrtles: L. Hough, A. Hough, K. M Smith, A. Myhre, 50, 220, 440 and 880 yards swim.
W A Raseman , 50 and 100 yards swlm.
K M Smith,  A. Myhre fancy diving, obstacle race, plunge.
A. Hough, obstacle race.
Healanis: A. K. Tinker, plunge and 20 yds race.
Relay race, L. Cunha, F. Kruger, W. Grace, R. Fuller, George Murray. J. P. Homan, A. E. Tinker, G. B. Bechert, C. B- Mavne, C. A. Broderick.

Contrary to expectations the Outrlgger Club has failed to enter a team and report has it that the members got cold feet as soon as the entry list of the Hui Nalus was scanned.
There is a proposition on foot to make the gladiatorial and obstacle races without any age limit as was at first suggested; also to accept post entries for the former event.
The decision of the management in these matters will be announced later.
It is reported that the Outrigger Club will be represented in the gladiatorial contest.

People have been wondering why the Outrigger Club has not entered a  swimming team for the aquatic carnival on Saturday.
Swimming has been supposed to be one of the strong  points of the Outriggers since the inception of the club, and their remarkable work in the big, little and middle-sized nalus has been given much space in the local prints.

And the entry book has closed chock full of the names of the Healani, Myrtle and Hui Nalu boys,  with not a single mention of the Outrigger Club except in the gladiatorial contest.

The 'Rigger boys themselves are both disappointed and disgusted in the extreme of their woe will  give a moonlight dance tomorrow night in their spacious lanai in order in some measure to forget their troubles.

The Outriggers meant to enter a team all right, but were side-tracked and double-crossed at the last moment.

E. Melanphy, the captain of the club, appointed Watson Ballentyne, a very fast swimmer, as captain of the Outrigger Club's swimming team, and he was instructed to go over to the Hawaiian News Company's store on Tuesday, the day when the entries closed, and put the names of the club's competitors on the book.

The team included, among others Watson Ballentyne, Gibert Brown, R. K. Reidford, Elmer Evans and Marston Campbell, Jr.

The Star came out on Tuesday with a list of the entries, and to the immense surprise of the Outrigger boys there was no mentlon of their swimming team therein.
Instead, the name of Captain Watson Ballentyne appeared as entered by the Hui Nalus, a rival organization.

Captain Melanphy was at once communicated with, and he phoned in hot haste to John Soper, who was receiving the entries.

It was then 4:45 p.m., and entries were supposed to close at five o'clock.

Melanphy told Soper that there had been a mistake over entering the Outrigger team, and asked that the club be entered blank in every event.

Soper said that ho had no power to do this as the rules of the meet caIled for the names of intending contestants.

If Melanphy could give him a llst of his team by five o'clock it would be all right, other wise the club would have to remain unentered.

It was too late to prepare a list, so the matter had to go by default as far as me Outrigger Club is concerned.

Gilbert Brown, a prominent member of the Outrigger Club, stated this morning that he was at a loss to explain Ballentyne's action in notentering his team.
The fact that his name appeared with those of the Hui Nalu made it look, however, that the Outrigger Club had been treacherously thrown down.

It is expected that a meeting of the members of the club will be calIed in the immediate future to deal with tne matter.

Meanwhilef if  you want to see a real mad man, just ask an Outriggerite if he thinks that his club has a chance in the coming contests.

The management of the aquatic carnival were notified this morning that the affair could not take place in the Bishop slip, as has been arranged, owing to the act that the German ship Alexander Isenberg is unloading freight there.

A wireless sent to Maston Campbell, who is on one of the other islands at present, asking for permission to hold the carnival in the Alakea slip.
Word will probably be received from the superintendent of public works sometime today, and there is little doubt that the desired permission will be granted.

While a longer course can be obtained in the Alakea slip, the wharves bordering therein do not possess as good accommodation for the sight-seeing public as is the case with the Bishop slip.

The total registration with the local branch of the A. A. U. now amounts to 111.
The last registration is that of George Freeth.

The Hui Nalu, which organization is at present giving more attention to swimming than dancing, will "get together" on Saturday afternoon at Bishop slip.

Miss Edith Cowles made a very charming hostess yesterday when she entertained a surfing party and luncheon at the Outrigger Club at Waikiki.

The girls met at this delightful clubhouse, donned bathing suits and spent the remainder of the forenoon in the briny blue, enjoying surf-board sports, canoeing and swimming.

At half past one a delicious buffet luncheon was served at small tables arranged in one of the picturesque hau tree arbors in the grounds.
The luncheon tables were dressed in scarlet geraniums and maidenhair.
Covers were artistically arranged for fourteen.

Those who enjoyed Miss Cowles' hospitality were Miss Lydia McStocker, Miss Julie McStocker, Miss Kathryn Stephens, Miss Alice Cooper, Miss Mary Schaefer, Miss Roberts, Miss Cordelia Walker, Mrs. Wilcox, Mrs. Clark, Mrs. Roy Francis Smith, Miss Kuteman, Miss Ethel Spaulding and Miss Ziegler.

Two American Amateur Swimming record were broken yesterday by Duke Kahanamoku the expert natatorial member of tha Hui Nalu Club.
The fifty and one hundred yard records went by the board and the new figures established by Kahanamoku are respectively 24 1/5 seconds and 55 2/5 seconds.
The old record for fifty yards was beaten by 1 3/5 seconds while the blue ribbon distance fljurtj were reduced by no less than 43 5 seconds.
The course was carefully measured three times in all and tomorrow morning it will be measured again by a surveyor.

Kahanamoku is a wonder and he would astonish the mainland aquatic sports if made a trip to the Coast.

There were some great doings at the Alaksa slip yesterday when the first aquatic meet ever brought off under the auspices of the Amateur Union was staged.
The affair was an unqualified success and the fact was made plain that Hawaii has as good, and better for that matter, swimmers than any other country
When a lad can got out and in a hundred yards dash beat the American amateur record by four and three fifths seconds there is something doing for sure.

Duke Kahanamoku was known to be a fast sprinter but not many people thought that the youth was a world beater.
Cunha who swam in the event was at least thirty feet behind the winner and as Cunha in practice has always just about touched 01 to 03 seconds Dukes figures must be right
No less than five watches caught Kahanamoku's time as flfty five and two fifths seconds for the hundred and there is no doubt that the record is correct.
The only thing that might add a fifth or so to the figures is the fact that the finish was over an imaginary
ima nrMi1t wna dirart1v iitiilnr a thin
rope that was fastened across the dock I
atui as an me meu wim wuvuva
caught tho timo tho same that should be all right.

Course Measured

The course was measured before the race and at least three times was the distance checked.
A surveyor will again measure the straightaway tomorrow morning and then there can be no doubt about the records.
The fifty yards race was also an eye opener and the way Duke got through the water was wonderful.
He was pressed for the first part of the race by Cunha but when within twenty yards of the finish the Waikiki boy shot out and won easily enough in the amateur world record time of twenty four and one fifth seconds.
Kahanamoku was cheered when he climbed out of the water and well he deserved the ovation.

The Derby

In the hundred yards sprint Kahanamoku set the pace from the report of the gun.
He simply tore through the water and before half the distance was covered it was seen by those holding the watches that very fast time was being done.
At fifty yards Duke showed clear of the rest of the bunch and he had a lead of icn feet over Cunha.
At yards Duke was at his top and he was drawing away rapidly from Cunha.
When within ten yards of the finish Kahanamoku sprinted at a wonderful rate and shot under the rope in record time.
Cunha swam gamely and he can rest happy in the fact that he made just about his best time over the distance and lost to a coming world beater.
Another great swimmer who did fine work over the longer courses was Vincent Genoves.
He is a powerful swimmer and he endured three events 880 yards one mile and 440 yards races in the best style.
Genoves swims a very even powerful double over arm stroke and he seems never to tire.

Half Mile
In the half mile race Genoves ran away from his field and he won as he liked from Broderick.
Genoves was over a lap ahead at the finish but there was a good race for second between Broderick and O. Crozier.

One Mile
The one mjle race attracted five starters and although Genoves soon took the lead Ginger Mayne kept going in steady fashion ana stuck to his guns well.
Genoves was too fast however and gradually he increased his lead
He won by two laps almost and Mayne was second.

Quarter Mile
The 880 yards race was another feather in Genoves cap and he won from it Cunha by thirty yards
The two swimmers were neck and neck for almost three laps, but then Genoves drew away from the rapidly tiring Cunha
The race for third place was a good one and Broderick just managed to get it from Center.

220 Yards
In the 220 yards Duke Kahanamoku again gave a taste of his quality and he got over the course in the remaerkable time of two minutes forty two
and two fiths seconds.
D. Center did his best but Duke won by about thirty yards.
Broderick filled third place
y
stand that had been erected was a
treat to sec
Freeth Big star
George Freeth was the star performer in the fancy diving  for his exhibition.
He was closely pushed by B. K. Fuller who made 108 points in fine shape.
In fact all the fancy divers were good and the work they did drew forth much applause from the spectators.

The obstacle Race was abandoned and the Glndtntar enntfaf MiAlt ml If
olf into a comic stunt put up by a couple of boys wlro tried to knock one another out of boats with long sticks to which mops had been tied.

Plunge
The plunge for distance was keenly contested and B K Fuller won from A H Tarlton.
The efforts of some of the heavyweights to keep going after the impetus gained at the start had died away were funny enough for anything.

The Hawaiian band was in attendance and many popular tunes were played.
Chairs were provided for a big crowd of people but there were many vacant seats to be seen.

Ideal Day
The nttnmnnn ivn nn trlnnl rn A swimming and the water was as calm as a mill pond
All the arrangements were satisfactory and the cool breeze mut mow made things very pleasant.

The total number of points earned by the three clubs that competed were as follows:
Hui Nalu 42 Healani 32 and Myrtle 5.
The new organization which is called the Hui Nalu made good in every respect and in Duke Kahanamoku and Vincent Genoves the club possesses two wonderful swimmers.

The aquatic meet pulled off under the auspices of the Hawaiian branch of the A.A. U. last Saturday was a success.
Two world's records were broken at that time, and some other fast times were made.
This goes to show that when Honoulu is given a real chance to tackle the mainland records of the A. A, U. the boys get pretty near them and even break it few.

Now Duke Kahanamoku's fame will travel through almost all parts of the world for the great work he did in the sprint last Saturday.
Duke is not well known among the people of Honolulu, but is remembered by many tourists who have visited Hawaii and taken a dip in the surf of Waikiki.

With Premier McGowen was Mrs McGowen and J. W. Holliman, under secretary for finance and trade of New South Wales.
The premier and his party was met outside the harbor and as soon as a landing was made a trip was taken to the aquarium, where an hour was spent, Mr Holliman declaring that it was a more wonderful sight than the aquarium at Naples which he recently inspected.

From the aquarium the party went to the Outrigger Club where the surf board riders greatly interested all of the visitors and a number or snap shots were taken of the riders as they raced in to shore on the crest of the waves.
The premier said that when he returns for a long visit he is going to learn to be a surf rider whatever else happens

DIGGING IN SIX PADDLE OANOF EVENT
they just missed a clean sweep It was
n great revenge after their yours of
defeats and the assembled crowds of
Healanis roared their appreciations of
the fact The manner in whck tlw
Healanis won will now give Increased
interest to future regattas Had tho
Myrtles been successful again yester
day tho Healanis would have felt down
cast After all tho trouble thntsthey
have taken to restore the club to a
winning basis it was good that tbeyi
hould have their efforts bear fruit
for tho Myrtles will no doubt respond
to the demands that have now been
put upon them
Fuunenes had no club wins to rec
ord but ths was no doubt expected
by them for they have not had tho
same opportunities to train as tho local
clubs had being away from nouie in
strange quarters Of course they will
not Irt discouraged by their showing
On the contrary it will no doubt spur
them on to seek an opportunity to show
an improvement next year
Tbe Hul Nalu carried off the honors
for the four and six paddle canoes and
theTo were plenty of other events row

was made by the Myrtles in seven min

but the Myrtles caught tho wator urst
Tho two crows hit up a forty to tho

when passing the judges boat
for the first time After tho turn was
made tho Myrtles forgod ahead Tho
Hcalani boat seemed to ride too high
and the wind caught the bargo and re
tarded her pace The Myrtle boat sat
lower in the water nnd glided along

spurted in desperate fashion tho Reds

The Hui Nalu, winners of swimming and paddling laurels, are thinking of raising enough money to buy a barge with which to compete in next year's Regatta Day races.
They intended putting a crew in the junior race this year but had to abandon the idea on account of being unable to secure the use of a boat to row in.

The members of the club will make an effort to secure the use of the boat house of the defunct Kunalu Rowing Club for headquarters while training for next year's races.
The club have ordered new swimming suits, their color being white with blue trimming and lettering.

Archie Robertson stated this morning that an effort would be made to arrange swimming races between two members of the Hui Nalu and Messrs. W. R. McWood and Walter Pomeroy, the Olympic Club swimmers who are expected to visit Honolulu next month.
Vincent Genoves would wear the blue and white in a long-dlstance race and Duke Kahanamoku would attend to any sprinting engagements.

Pomeroy, who recently swam the Golden Gate, could take on Genoves in a 440 or 880-yard event.
McWood, only a week ago, swam fifty yards at Redondo beach in 26 seconds flat, breaking the Coast record by a fifth of a second.
Pomeroy finished second in an 880 yard race at Redondo beach won in 12.48 3-5.

LONG BEACH September 4- For the first time in the history of southern California beaches two men were rescued from drowning here yesterday afternoon by Hawaiian surf boards.
They were Paul Rowan a well known real estate man and a stranger whose name could not be learned.
Charles Allbright and A. J. Stout both fresh from Honolulu brought them to shore

The stranger had swum out beyond the end of the safety line and not beeing a strong swimmer could not buck the heavy undertow.
He began to sink and called out for help from Paul Rowan, who was swimming a few yards beyond him.
Rowan seeing him go down hastily rushed to his side.
The stranger grabbed him and crippled him by pinning his arms to his side.

It was at this point that Allbright and Stout who were out beyond both the men lying in wait for a huge roller on which to coast ashore hurried to the rescue.
Stout pulled the stranger onto his board and Allbright hauled Rowan onto his.
Just then a roller came along and the experts from Hawaii holding the boards steady coasted through the breakers with the almost unconscious men.
The undertow began to carry them out again however and at this point John Leenhart, the life guard employed by the hotel, reached the four men with a lifebuoy held in his teeth by a rope

Leenhart is a very strong swimmer and he towed all four the remainder of the distance to shore where the stranger sank to the beach with exhaustion
Rowan managed to get rid of the water he had swallowed and felt none the worse for his experienco but the pale and frightened stranger hurried away before his name could be learned.

Allbright is a Honolulu newspaperman and Stout was formerly manager of the Seaside Hotel at Waikiki near Honolulu.
They recently came to Long Beach with their koa wood surf boards and were entertaining a large crowd by on the beach by coasting in shore standing up when Rowan got into trouble.

The surf boards are much larger than those used on this coast being six feet  long, three inches thick and eighteen  inches wide.
It was their size which enabled the rescuers to place the drowning men on them for safety.

Long Beach Press: One of the most novel rescues ever pulled off in the surf at Long Beach was accomplished yesterday afternoon at four o'clock on the beach west of Magnolia avenue when Paul Rowan of Long Beach and a stranger who slipped away before his identity could be discovered, were saved from drowning by Charles Allbright and A. J. Stout.

The two rescuers were also nearly exhausted and were helped to the beach during the latter part of their spectacular trip by the hotel life guard, John Leonard, who was unaware of the trouble until he saw the men struggling to reach shore against a strong rip tide.

Allbright is a Honolulu newspaperman.
Stout is chauffeuer for Dr. W. Lundenberger of Pittsburg.
Both the rescuers met and became close friends in Honolulu and brought Hawaiian surf boards over with them recently to try them out in the local surf.

Paul Rowan, who is a strong swimmer, was out beyond the end of the life lines which extend from the beach to a point beyond the breakers.
He was swimming about, enjoying the exorcise when he heard a cry from a man who was nearer the shore, but just beyond the breakers.

"For God's sake, help me. I have a wife on shore." gurgled the Stranger, a man of about thirty years of age; and he commenced to sink.
Rowan went to his help with a swift overhand stroke and caught him just as he waa sinking a second time in the strong offshore current.

The stranger imediately grabbed hold of Rowan and held him so that
he had to fight to free his arms.
He talked to the man and told him to keep quiet and he would be all right, but the stranger had become thoroughly unnerved and hindered his own rescue.
Rowan was also forced to swallow considerable sea water by the man's frantic efforts to hang onto him and he felt himself slipping.
He made every effort he could and it was at this point that Allbright and Stout, who were over outside the lines waiting for big breakers with their Hawaiian surf boards, became
aware of the situation.

Allbright grabbed Rowan, who was dizzy from his forced immersion and placed him on his surf board.
Stout did the same for the stranger.
Just then a succession of big breakers came along and the two men, with their burdens, coasted magnificently inshore against the rip tide to a point where they could almost touch bottom.
It was then that Leonard, who was on his way out to help, grabbed hold of the surf hoards and helped the men to finish their rescuing stunt.

The stranger's wife was on the beach waiting for him and did not know what was the matter until the rescue was nearly completed and she profusoly thanked all four men for the rescue of her better half.
The husband was too full of water for utterance and she hurried him away for stimulants.
He was very pale and looked sick, but was able to walk.
(Continued on page twelve)

Both Allbrlght and Stout are expert surf board riders and for years coasted on the foaming breakers which run In on the beach between Diamond Head and Honolulu.
There the breakers run mountains high at great speed for a distance of nearly half a mile.
Big canoes with outriggers are also used to coast the breakers at that point in Hawaii and on coming to the mainland, both men brought their boards with them.
Yesterday they were riding the breakers with the greatest ease in front of the Virginia amd a large crowd was watching them as they stood up on the boards and coasted rapidly ashore.
The rescue yester dav was probably the first of the kind ever effected in a similar manner on the coast and the success of the men with their boards may result in the general use of the same type at this beach.

Rowan was out bright and early this morning, none the worse for the salt water he was forced to inhale.
"I don't mind drinking a little sea water when I want to," he said, "but I do object to having it forced down my throat whether I want it or not, and that was that the stranger was evidently trying to do with me."
Both Allbright and Stout made light of the incident, and from information supplied from other sources it was learned that they made frequent rescues of a like nature out in the Hawaiian Islands, where Stout was manager for the Seaside Hotel at Waikiki.

An unusually high surf has been running off the harbor and at Waikiki this morning.
It is claimed by those who have observed the phemonema that the surf is higher today than at any time in the last nine years.
Travel outside the harbor in the smaller launches proved somewhat a difficulty.
At the bathing beaches a number of persons availed themselves of the rolling seas in riding the surf boards and canoes.

Eaton Magoon of the Outrigger Club returned to the city this morning in the Wilhelmina and at once turned in
to hell) out the big events of Saturday at Waikiki.
Magoon will see that a motion picture machine and operater are sent down to the club to project the surfing motion pictures taken by Pathe Freres of Paris.
These are the pictures that M. Bonvillian secured more than a year ago while in Hawaii.
They were sent to Paris and developed there and a reel sent back to the Outrigger Club.
The pictures show the junior members of the club on the grounds toying with their surf boards, the launching and the race on the boards out to the big surf, then the sport In the waves and the return to the club grounds before the big breakers.
These pictures are now being exhibited in Paris and the Frenchmen take much delight in the sport.
The members of the Outrigger Club will see how the Hawaiian grass houses look to the European.
Edmund Melanphy is closing up his entries for the big regatta for the youngsters on Saturday afternoon.

Bealt Wright and Maurice McLaughlin, who with W. A. Larned contstitute the American tennis team that is en route to New Zealand to challenge the Australians for the Davis Cup, are both men who have wide experience in all forms of sport.  On their arrival in Honolulu on the liner Zealandia Wednesday last they voted for surfing as the afternoon's entertainment, and when they came ashore at Waikiki after several fast shoots and an upset, they voted surf-riding the best sport they had ever tried. The left-hand picture shows McLaughlin (left) and Wright, as they stepped off the liner. In the other picture Wright (left) and McLaughlin are shown ready to take a chance with the breakers.

The North Steyne Club has forwarded for confirmation to the Surf Bather's Association a programme for the club's annual carnival.
Fifteen life-saving clubs will be represented, and an exhibition of surf-shooting by Mr. L. Bouffett, of Norfolk Island will be given.

- Noted in S&G Champion: Drowning, Bathing and Life Saving (2000) page 159.

Notes:
Mr L. Bouffett was probably a decendant of John Buffett who arrived on Pitcairn Island in December, 1823 on  the British whaler, Cyrus.
The Pitcairn islanders, largely decenced from Bounty mutineers and Tahitian women, were renowned surfriders.
See Ramsay: Pitcairn Island (1821).

A southerly breeze on Sunday wan responsible for wry big breakers at Bondl, and a powerful undertow was encountered for almost the full length of the beach.
Bathers did not venture far out, and a strict watch was kept bv members of tho two local life-avlng clubs.
About 12 o'clock .the alarm was given that a man was being swept out to sea.
In an Instant tho Ufo-savers went to
ne rescue, and Mr. L. Israel of the North
Jondl :>urf Life Saving Club, donned tho
bolt and swam to the rescue. He was ably
assisted by his club-mates, Messrs. J. Robi-
son and L». Weeks, and Mr. Stevenson, of the
Bondl life-savers, and after somo difficulty
tlio bather was rescued from' a dangerous
position. Shortly afterwards anotheg bather
was carried out at tho northern end of the
beach, and once mora Messrs. X. Israel (belt),
H. Drew, T. Walker, and other members of
tho North Bondl Surf Life Saving Club gavo
a splendid example or their uillcluncy and
training, in a heavy sea, and lauded tho
frightened surfer safely, little tho worso for
his adventure. The quickness and coolness
displayed by tho life-savers in their rescuo
work was particularly uotlccablu, and eaiuo
In for inuch favorable comment from tho
crowd on tho beach.
A word of wnming to tho public in tho
.case of rescues may not bo out of place here.
'When- a 'rescued person Is being towed In
everyone seems anxious to haul In on the
line. By doing this there is a risk of break
ing It, and so undoing all the good work
dqno by the life-savers. There uro always
enough club members standing by to'attcnd'
to the 'inc. who understand when. to slack
out snd haul in.

Record crowds on .tho beaches during the
coming holidays foreshadowed.

A big number of the Grand Opera Company

for tho forthcoming events at tbe North
Steyno carnival on December 30.

As stated In these columns last week the
action of tho Waverlcy Council in neglect
ing to erect a small hoarding at the back
of tho now dressing sheds to screen bathers
in tho nudo from public view Is disgraceful.
Last Sundays dozens of naked men could
be seen by ladles and children passing along
the road, and strong comments were made
as to the necessity of immcdiato attention
being given to this matter.
On Sunday last, at Coogeo, owing to tho
crowded stato of tbe dressing sheds, hundreds
of people were forced to undress In any old
placo in tho sheds, carry their clothes outside,
and deposit them on tho sand whilst they In
dulged In a dip. Unfortunately for some,
thieves were pretty active and several peoplo
lost tbclr clothes.
The various seaside councils appear to be
considerably trodbled with regard to sun-
baking on tho beaches. Certainly at most of
tho surflng resorts thoro will always be
found a few people who arc not particular as
to tho manner in which they indulge In this
practice. This Is a matter easily . remedied;
and offenders should 'bo prosecuted. This.'
was the advice tendered to "tho councils by!
Mt.' Griffith (Minister for Works).
Tho councils have tho power to prosecute j
persons guilty of improper conduct on the ,
beaches, and as they allege this misconduct
does take place, then' they- certainly cncour- ,
age the offenders by not Instituting prosecu-
tions. The presence or uniformed pollco on 1
tho beaches goes a long way towards mini- |
xnlslng tbe cvlL

Tamarama Beach, which lies between
Bronte and Bondi, was well patronised on |
Sunday by surfers and picnic parties. Tho
members of the Tamarama Surf Club look
after the safety of bathers, and a couplo of
Sundays ngo effected tho rescue of a young
woman who had got into dlfflcultles.
Manly Council is credited with being the
most progressive with regard to catering for
surf patrons, hence the great popularity cf
Manly Beach. '
A big scheme for the improvement of Co;-
gee Bench is being considered by Randwlck
Council. It is proposed to erect large dress
ing sheds, and refreshment rooms, and pro
vide life savers. The undertaking will cost
between £2000 and £7000, and surfers are hope

Tho North Steyno (Manly) men have now
all arrangements completed for a record car
nival day on December 30. AU the other
clubs are sending strong contingents to en
deavor to wrest the Bcggs whisky shield from
the present holders, but tho North Steyno
surfers are confident of retaining it In their
possession, and It Is certain that the very
best men In the surf will be present from all
parts of the coasts of the State. I
The Manly Surf Club has had such a rush '
of new members thut it lias been forced to
close its list for a while. Tho accommoda-,
Uon of the clubhouse is not sufficient for the
great increase of membership. The club's' ,
carnival will not be held till March, but
members will take pari in all tho approach
ing carnivals.
Champion Dick Amst Is oil enthusiastic
surfer, and has been' for some weeks n resi

ceived from Mr. S. Jackson.
Tho surf-shooter has not had much in tho
way of suitable breakers around Manly for
bis sport during tho week. but. nevertheless,
tbe water has been n refuge of joy and# com
fort from the great beat.
Mr. "Wally YVeekcs has prcsontedx to the
