The Race.

We have co(umented editorialiT on the boat race whieh t p!:»ce last Saturday. The result of the race iā well-known—too well-known to the backers of the blue boy«. The event waa uudoubted!y a ninst successful one as far ae interest and attendance waeeoneemed. The very best soc ! ety of Honolalu gathered and took advantage of the accomodatinns whieh the Oahu IlaiIroad Company offfr«l on th:s <>ccii«!i>n. lt wasdecide<llv a friend!y e >ntest. The red of tiie Myrt!ee and the bahy (never miml) blue of the Hea!'>nie, were be»utifu!Iy blended and the enthusi ,sm and good will of everybodv were ; nnbounded. The Oaha Railrond , Company deserves the greate?t j praise and credit for tbe raanner in whieh passengers were carried t to aad froin the raee-coorse and ; Mr. Di!lingham is to l»e eom- I plimented for the eourtesy an<l geui;«l inanuer in whieh he |»*r- ' sonally <uperintends ali the : arn«ngement8 j>ertaining to his road. We regret to feel obliged i to meniion a reraark passed by a higb railroa<l official whieh was i overheard bv » uumber of onr leading people and created some ill-feeliug. Tiie railroad olHeial in qnestion asked a well knowo cit:z«*n "how be eame out. ” ; He was told that the gentle man t • wh<*m the qnestiou was pnt *‘got bnsted” hsving backed the Healanis. The railroad man then expressed himseif soraewhat like ‘'weil if voa are i ‘bnste<l.‘ yon are where I goess Ihe Healaui Boat Club is now/’ i Natur»llv resenting such an onwarrenteti slar on tbe Boat Clnb. the geut!eman. who lost hls money on the Healanis. simpiv ' answered: W«U, if the Boat Ciab 13 basted. it is about where the Oahn Raiiroad Com- | panv i» now.” Now. we wonld * not have meotioned tb»s iilile in- I cident if it was not. tbat we are aware tbat Mr. Dillingham personallv wonld be very mneh dis- j pleasei! by baving auy of !
