Day
The Eleventh of June f!
The GRAND RICHIE par.


From very early hour of the morning stream
of people on horseback, foot and in vehicles Of
every description began to set in the direction of
Kapiolani Park. and by eight O'Clock the stream
swelled to mighty river. There were of course
the usual little episodes by the way, and driving
down after the great rush we noticed two wrecked
buggies by the way side, to which three more were
added when the return trip was made. There is
great improvement in the approach to the Park,
the road along the beach is now well made and
hard so that there is no longer that fearful wade
through the sand which used to be so hard upon
the horses. Just as we drove up to the entrance
we passed two gentlemen In expresses returning
to town, both looked limp and were doubled up
curiousy on their seats-evidently the heat or
something else had been too much for them. The
crowd on the course was as large, if not larger
than usual, and was as a rule good-tempered and
happy, though of course now and again there was
difference of opinion followed up by the
argu,nentani cd heBiiRem. The position of the
stables to which we alluded some time back,-we
still think a mistake. Carriages are obliged to
draw up so far from the judges stand that it is
impossible for the occupants to see the finish of
race. Were the stables put the other side of the
stand we think it would be better certainly horses
would run better if in finishing they run 70 their
stables instead of past them. We also think that
there ought to be no objection to allowing pedes-
TRANS, at least within the central enclosure. The
Private and Grand Stands were well filled Among
those present we noticed Her Royal Highness the
Princess Regent, Her Royal Highness the Princess
Iikelike, Gov. Dominis, Hon. A. S. Cle9horn, Cen
eral Comfy and daughter, Major Wodehouse and
family, Mons. Feer and family, Mons. Ratard,
Hon. J. NJ. and Mrs. Kapena, Col. Boyd Mrs.
Campbell, Hon. W. NJ. Gibson, Captain Mist and
a number of our most prominent citizens.
Though as n whole people were pleased with
their days outing. there was great dissatisfac-
ton expressed at the way in which horses were
withdrawn from the races. People go out OIL the
18th to see racing, and they ought not to have
their amusement spoiled by jealousies or cliques
among the owners of horses. We hope this will
not occur next year.
The best race of the day was that between Mark
Twain and Backbone, for a mile the horses
were about neck and neck, and it was only during
the last half of the second mile that Mark drew
ahead. King Williams trotting also deserves
special mention. It was really fine.
