THE RACES.

The races at Kapiolani Park at .
O'Clock, under the auspices of the
Hawaiian Jockey Club, drew out Il
very large assemblage. The grand |
stand was well-patronized and the
vicinity of the winning post was we'll
dotted with sight-seers in turnouts
and persons afoot. On the royal
stand were His Majesty the King, !
His Elk. the Attorney-General, II.
B. MS Commissioner Major j. II.
Wodehouse, Senior de Sousa Cana
varro, Portuguese Commissioner, aud
Consul r. w. Irwin. A detachment
of the Royal Hawaiian Band was
stationed near the royal stand, and
played during the afternoon. The
weather was warm and the track
somewhat heavy going. The events
of the afternoon were four in num-
Der, and were, for the most part,
capitally contested, particularly SO
the race for the Fourth of July Cup,
the three horses at the finish being
so close together that an ordinary
blanket would have covered them
all. Unfortunately the afternoons
sport was somewhat married Ivy the
mare Lady Hooker falling in the
race for the kapiolani Purse, throw
ing her rider and breaking one of
her legs, thus ending her career on
the turf. The jockey, Leroy How
son, was badly stunned, but had no
bones broken. The officials were:
Judges, Capt. J. III. Brown, Hon. j.
A. Cummins, Mr.. f. S. Pratt; Time
keeper, Mr.. G.. o. Berger; Starter,
Capt. A. B. Hayley; Clerk of
Course, Mr.. Chas. b. Wilson; Sad
ding Paddock, Mr.. Cecil Brown.
Officer Mehrtens, with the assistance
of two native officers, kept the course
very clear. The following are the
results of the various events:-

Half mile dash.
Cornwell's Hancock. Moon,
Waimea Sta. g Col Gift. ...Howson,
Hayley's G h Garfield. .... Robinson, 3
X. r.. b m Belle of Kauai. .Scholsky, 4
After three false attempts they got
away to fair start, Hancock, Col.
Gift and Belle of Kauai being to-
gether, with Garfield almost two
lengths behind. Before they had
gone very far Hancock began gra-
dually to draw away, Gift taking
second place, Belle of Kauai third
and Garfield close up fourth. Han
cock was never headed, and won at
the finish by three lengths from Gift,
which was second, Garfield two and
81 half lengths off, third, and Belle
of Kauai close behind, last. Time
81 seconds. Mr.. Cornwell was very
much elated over the victory of his
horse. Garfield pulled up lame, and
it is evident lie has seen his best
days. His record of l.475 for
mile over this course still remains
unbeatcn.

Stranger carried one and quarter
pounds overweight. After one break
away, they were off to a good start.
o. H., who had the inside, taking
the lead, Stranger second and Lady
Hooker last. Soon after passing the
three quarter mile post o. II. graz
dually increased bis lead. Opposite
the Agricultural Society buildings
Lady Hooker fell, throwing her
jockey and breaking her leg. o. II.
won in the end Ivy one hundred
yards. Time l.544. 1t appears
that previous to tile race Lady
Hooker had not quite got over IL
sprained fetlock and ought never to
have been started.

Waimea Stables Unknown was
withdrawn. In the first heat Dick
took the lead and maintained it to
the half mile post, where he broke
badly, letting Lucy up, who came
sailing away an easy winner and
nearly distancing Dick. Lucy took
the lead in the second heat and went
round in splendid style, soon getting
lengths ahead. Here, Sam Parker
who was driving Dick started him
on gallop and catching up with
Lucy passed the wire first, but OF
course the heat and race were given
to Lucy. Afterwards the judges
