It was now about 4:30 p. m, and
| getting much cooler. The horses, all
of whom ran, were taken down the
track to beyond the three-quarter
mile pole, and there Mr.. Buchanan,
| the starter, with Jimmy Savidge to
help him, as he had during the whole
day, got them away in a bunch.

Faiamma and May D. At the start
! Rosita had the pole, Ivanhoe being
next to her, with May D. on the out

All the ponies came up to the
scratch except Benny Boy, whose
owner, Captain Hayley, was satisfied
with having one animal, No Name,
in the race. After passing under
Cecil Browns measuring stick the
ponies took position as follows: No
Name inside, KIM Peki next to her,
the calico Pinta coming next, with
Hama Nui between him and Ia Hiki
No, who was outside. The ponies got
away we'll together, and ratified off
down the track, their boy riders look
ing like lot of young monkeys as
they bent over the necks of the little
horses.
No Name took the lead and kept
it throughout. KIM Peki at first fell
behind, but rushed up at a rafting
pace on the homestretch, and came
in second. Pinto fell behind, because
he used up too much time climbing
the air, and Rain Kauhine wasn't in
the race at all, as his rider couldn't
bring him up in time for his pre-
liminary gallop around the course.
The winning horse did the mile in
2:O1B, and was loudly cheered for his
success.
The last event of the day was the
race for the Kamehameha Plate
5000. The following were the horses
entered for this race:
KAMEHAMEHA PLATE-S200. Running race.

age.
E. r. Miles .ch Langford, Jr. (agedl
Black jacket, red sleeves, red cap.
Capt. A. B. Hayley. 80. 6 Garfield aged
Rose, turquoise blue hoops, black cap.
Chas. Lucas .................b m Idle Girl
Sire, Wild Idle; dam, Robin Girl.
Pink and blue.
Of these three Langford, Jr., and
Idle Girl came on to the track, and it
was quickly seen that both horses
meant business. The mare won the
pole, ana at the second trial Splen-
did start was made. The two stuck
close to each other all the way around
the first mile, and, as was remarked,
"one blanket being large enough to
cover both" They were loudly
cheered as they swept by the Judges
stand, and started on the second
mile. When about half way round
for the second time, Langford crept
little ahead, but by the time the
quarter pole was reached, Idle
Girl had crept to the front again, and
finally came in one length ahead.
The time made in the two miles was
3:454. The whole race was very
fine one, and fifty wound up the
events of the day.
