Lemon has young horse of native stock that has
one or two occasions recently, been driven from
the bridge at the old Makiki School premises, on
the upper road to the corner OF Beretania and Nuu

of the road which is ANYTHING but good one, this
is good trotting for native "scrub" which few
would give Hawaiian stock credit of doing. On
good level road, after little training the horse
alluded to will be able TO show some pretty fast
trotting.
