A GREAT BOAT RACE.

THE BENNINGT ON’S CRACK CREWGOT A COSTLY SURPRISE.

The Story of a Fourth ef July Rowing Centest at Hepolulu Which Emptied the Pockets and Lacerated the Feelings of Unele Sam's Jackies.

“About as dismal a Fourth of July as ever I experienced on board a man- »'-war,’’ said an ex-sailor of the navy now living in Washington to a report- er, ‘‘was Independence day not many years ago down in the harbor of Hono lulu. The Bennington had an al! star racing boat’s crew. The eight had just happened to be assigned to the Ben- nington in a buach before she left for her Pacific cruise, and several of the earsmen had been members of the Co- lLombia’s crack boat's crew tbat walloped all of the British navy’s boats’ crews in English waters « few years before.

The Bennington’s cutter was one of the best in the navy, and she had been built for aracer. Before we left the Mare Island navy yard for south Pacific waters the ship's racing crew had easily beaten all of the other crews of the ships lying at the yard, including the tiptop crew of the Olympia and the Boston's fine crew. We thought that we were about as warm as they make ‘em after our crow put itonso many other man-o’-war crews, giving them a couple of minutes the start of us, too, en numerous occasions and still beating them disgracefully.

“Tbe people of Honolulu arranged ap aqnatic festival for the Fourth of July—the Americans down there cele- brated the Fourt just as enthusiastic- ally as we. do up here—and the Ben- nington’s crew figured in it largely. Our ship's colors were at the fore in the two races. that were run with picked Kanaka crews, and the third and last race of the day was one in which our crackajack eight was to figure, the other

TWIN TORTURERS

Lumbago and Rheumatism made Harmless by Dodd's Kidney Pills.

Lumbago and Rheumatism cause endless pain and suffering. Every man and woman who runs chances of getting wet, or catching cold, is liable to suffer from one or both. Our hospitals are full of sufferers from these diseases; none are more pain- ful. Every nerve is on fire; every joint is.a centre of agony ; every mus- cle an area of torture. To move hand or foot makes the victim shriek with agony.

Rheumatism makes more cripples than all the railroad accidents that ever happened. ‘Twisted, mis-shapen caricatures of humanity, who cannot walk without misery, are to be seen every day. The kidneys are to blame. Iftitey are healchy you needn’t fear

races having béeg’ won by subcréews practically picked at random from among the strongest seamen.

‘*‘We thought this race was at ow mercy. It was to be a four sided affair— ene crew of Kanaka sugar field workers, a crew of Kanaka policemen and the racing crew of the yacht Eleanor, be- longing to Mr. Slater of Providence, that had pulled into Honolulu harbor from Japan a few days before. Our crew didn’t pay much attention to the yacht’s racing crew and were only fig- uring on the distance they oould beat the crew of Kanaka policemen, which seemed the most formidable.

‘The race was over the four mile course carefully blocked out in the har- bor—which was very smooth—by the Honolulu aquatic sportsmen, and the start was first rate. There wasn't a man, fore or aft, on the Bennington that didn’t stand to go broke to the extent of at least a month's pay on the success of the Bennington’s crew, and we had to give 8 tol, too, for it was generally conceded that we had the race at our mercy.

‘The start, ag I said, was good, and the Bennington’s crew showed in front first and started eut apparently to make a runaway race of it. The Kanaka po- licemen’s crew trailed after them, pull- ing steadily, them the Kanaka sugar workers and, a good ten lengths to the rear, the Eleanor’s crew. This was the way it looked for the finish when the Bennington’s crew rounded the stake- boat and started for the return trip.

‘*Some of the Honolulu men who had their money up on the two Kanaka crews actually begar to square accounts, and the cry, ‘It’s all over—Bennington!’ was heard all over the bay. When the stakeboat was rounded, it was noticed that the Eleanor’s boat was sort of get- ting a move on itself, and the men were working like machines at a long, steady stroke that certainly looked as if it was cutting down the Bennington’s lead and the lead of the two Kanaka boats.

‘Two minutes after tle stakeboat was rounded the Eleanor's gang were right abreast of the Kanaka cutters and gaining on them with every stroke, and the cox’un of the Bennington’s cutter, hearing the yells of warning from the Bennington bluejackets ashore, looked behind him and suw the Eleanor cutter only two jengths behind him and com- ing like an electric Jaunch. Our crew was tired, and that’s all there was about it.

**The Eleanor’s crew had held them- selves in for the finish, and they cer- tainly did make a Garrison finish of it. The yacht’s cutter shot abead of our cutter a good mile from home, and then, to make the thing more galling, the crew actually stopped rowing until the Bennington’s crew was alongside again. Then they took to the oars again, and from then on it was a howling farce. The Eleanor’s crew just romped their sutter in ten lengths ahead of our cut- ter and the Kanakas a quarter of a nile in the rear.

‘*You never saw such a disgusted lot of men in your life asthe men and offivers on the Bennington. The Elea- nor’s ship company had taken all of the 8 to 1 money they could get on board
