THE MAUI RACES.
Christmas Day at Kahului--.The Go.
Ahead Island Ahead Again!

TO the damp condition of the weather
on the 10th of November, was post
poned till Xmas day, proved great
success. The weather was very
it being calm and bright,
being excessively hot; and
although the track was quite heavy,
loose and rather muddy in consc-
quence of previous rains, the time
made was very good, and goes to
show the Improvement in racing
stock since the organization of the
association, an Improvement which
nobody with little knowledge of
horseflesh can fail to notice, and
which not only manifests itself in
the time made, but in the looks,
condition and whole bearing of the
animals. Great credit is due to the
association for its earnest, untiring,
united efforts to improve stock and
awaken the interest for good breeds.
The several vessels in port, as
well as the Likelike, which arrived
early in the morning, had their flags
flying to the gentle breeze, and the
spectators at SpreckePs Park,
(Which is the proud name of the
race track, situate just back of Ka-
hului), although not big crowd,
were composed of the most promi-
nent people of the island-the very
creme de la creme of our society.
But for it's being Xmas day, which
kept the whole Roman Catholic por-
tion of the population away, as well
as many others, the crowd would
| probably have been near a thou
sand. The races commenced about
