The Glorious Fourth was cele-
brated on the Island of Maui by
the Sixth Annual Meeting of the
Maui Racing Association at Spreck-
els Park, Kahului. 1t is wonder
full how this Association has grown,
for this meeting under notice was
much more interesting than the
one at Kapiolani Park on June II.
The entries comprised some of the
best horses in this Kingdom, ard
the result was a most excellent
days racing. The Wilder Steam
ship Company showed commenda-
BILE enterprise when it planned an
excursion to this race meeting at
Kahului, on the fine steamer Clau-
dine. The result was that nearly
one hundred passengers left on
her, including twelve members of
the Royal Hawaiian Band.
Leaving Honolulu on Sunday
evening at 6 o'clock, the good
steamer, in command of the ge-
NAL Captain Davis, arrived at Ka-
hului at daylight on the 4th. It
was pleasant trip, though quite
number of the passengers were
seasick. But what does that mat
ter; it may be the means of saving
doctors bills. Mr.. Arthur Wilder
acted as purser during the trip and
the passengers have reason to
thank him very much for his kind
attention.
The Claudine anchored along
side the brig Consuelo, and the two
vessels were dressed with bunting.
Going ashore, Mr.. G. P: Wilder,
the superintendent, was in attend
ance to see to the landing of the
passengers. At this early hour all
Kahului was astir and people were
arriving in large numbers every
few minutes from the surrounding
districts. A large number of the
Honolulu people repaired to the
home of Mr.. Chas. Fl. Broad, whose
hospitality throughout the day was
characteristic of a man with q
large heart. He made all feel
quite at home and then told them
to call again. Many thanks Char
lie for your hospitality, was heard
on all sides on departure.
Now we come across the
handsome U. S. Consul, Mr.. A. F.
Hopke, who grasps your hand and
bids you welcome. And before you
can move another step Mr.. l.. NJ
Vetelsen, the secretary, greets you
1t does one good to get among the
Kahului people; they are so cor
dial in their greetings of welcome
and so hospitable. A large party
were entertained at Consu
Hopke's residence during the day
including many ladies. American
flags were flying in every direction
and business was entirely sus
pended. A detachment of til,
Royal Hawaiian Band played sew
eral selections before going to tn
Park. The weather was very fine
but there was a breeze blowing
which at times was a little uncom
Portable. The races were announce,
to commence at 10 o'clock, blu
long before that hour the gran
stand was crowded and severa
