INTERIOR DEPARTMENT.
Mr. Dole moved to insert. Repairs to
wharf, NawiliwiI, Kauai, $500. Passed.
His Excellency Mr.. Gibson moved to in
sert, Aid 10 the Royal Hawaiian Agricul-
tural Society, 81 900. He said there had
been an item inserted during several ses-
sions for this worthy institution. His Ex-
cellency then read a statement regarding
the society and its work.
The item passed.
Mr.. Kaulukou moved to insert. Kapio-
lani Park Association, s., 900.
MIR Dole moved as an amendment that
the item be granted on the condition that
the unsightly board fence around the track
!, oD,,,a hara a,,J FOR
an appropriation, and then do not let peo-
pie see the races without paying.
Mr. Brown said that the Park Associa-
ton and the Jockey Club were entirely
separate. The Association looks after the
trees and roads, and every cent appropri-
ated had been spent in that direction, and
not on the track. The Jockey Club had
made the improvements on the track and
had not used one cent of the Associations
money.
Mr. Richardson was in favor of the APP
preparation. 1t had always been spent in
identifying the Park. All the wickedneSs
incidental to racing and betting was shut
out by this board fence.
Hon. Mr. Cleghorn said that if there was
no Park, there would have to be a road.
The roads out there are in good condition,
and in few years the Park will be one
of the handsomest places on the island.
The Park and track are separate.
Mr.. Dole said it was an imposition on a
poor man to put up that board fence, and
prevent him from seeing a horse race.
All the great race courses in England are
open to the public. Sometimes 100000
people witness the Derby race. If fence
were put up round that course, why those
100 900 persons would tear it down and
make it into kindling wood. The Park
Association had no right to lease the
course to the Jockey Club.
The amendment was carried
Mr.. Brown moved the item be struck
out.
Hon MIR. Cleghorn moved it pass. The
could decline to draw the
money.
Mr. Hayselden thought some arrange
ment could be made whereby the fence
would be removed The Park is looked
upon as public. The fence ought to be
taken down. Hundreds of people would
ike to go out and see the races, but could
not afford the price of admission.
Mr.. Brown said the Park was not public |
it belonged to a corporation. |
The expenses attached to horseracing fall |
IN a few gentlemen.
Hon. Mr.. CleghOrn moved as an amend |
nent that the fence be taken down with |
he exception of an eighth of a mile on /
either side of the judges stand. That |
would give the general public a chance to |
zee the races.
Mr.. Castle said it was in the province of
he House to make conditions when grant
ng an appropriation
After further discussion, the item passed |
It So 900 on the condition that the fence be
aiken down with the exception of an
Eighth of mile on either side of the

ala JndI no DeIJ6T improvement |
ould be made than this. 1t would in
rease the value of property in that vi
Unity three hundred per cent.
Hon. Mr.. Bishop said this matter had
cen talked about for many years. He
id not believe in it. There would be a
tarting point, but he did not know any
lace where they would come out
