mile, anu winch he Was sue

3-minute class, and will be com

Fred Mae is considered one Of the
best young Hawaiian horses in the
country, and will probably be able
to show much additional speed.
He is a beautiful animal, clean
limbed and a flat-footed trotter.
Third race-Match race, $500 side
Running race; l mile dash between
Duke Spencer, owned by ". H.
w. II. Cornwell.
This event was easily the most
interesting Of the meeting, and a
large amount of money was wagered
on the result. 1t being a match
race, there was considerable good
natured rivalry on the part of the
different horse-owners. Both horses
showed good condition, and the
contest gave evidence of being run
for all it was worth.
In the first attempt for a start,
Morton, the jockey on Duke
Spencer, lost control of his horse
on account of the effects Of a sore
hand, and the horse went almost
halfway around the track before
he could be gotten under control.
In the second attempt, however, a
fairly good start was obtained
(being slightly in favor Of Lord
Brock )-and the great race began.
1t was a great race in every sense of
the word. Both horses kept pretty
we'll together until the three
quarter pole was reached, when
Lord Brock drew away from his
competitor and came under the
wire several lengths ahead, winning
the race in 1 40 35. The winning
horse was ridden by Slocum, the
well-known California jockey, and
the loser by Morton, who bears
reputation as being very skillful
rider. 1t must be understood that
Morton was in no condition to ride
a race, especially the one he at
tempted. He had been suffering
for several days with large car
buncle on his right hand, which
caused him so much pain that he
had been unable to either eat or
sleep for several days before the
race.
After the race was over and the
horses were returning to the judges
stand, it was noticed that Morton
was lying down on his horse, hav-
ing tainted from the pain caused
by the use of his injured hand. He
was removed from his horse by
starter DR.. Monsarrat and carried
into the weighing-in room, where he
was soon brought around again,
though suffering intense pain. Lat
er it was learned that Morton lost
consciousness when his horse was
passing the quarter pole, and the
remaining distance was ridden by
him while in that condition. Until
notified to the contrary Morton was
under the impression that he had
fallen off his horse. Had the &C
cident not happened him the race
might have ended differently.
Fourth race-President Hawaiian
jockey club cup, So added. Trotting
and pacing; mile heats; best three in
five to harness. Free for all. Entries
Gerster, by Tom Hollinger; Lot Slo-
cum, by Lahaina stables; Johnny
Hayward, by w. II. Cornwell.
This event did not arouse much
interest, it being generally under
stood that Lot Slocum would be
an easy winner. He proved so,
winning three straight heats in
2 :39, 2 IA 1-5 and 2:30 2-5. The
horse was attached to q ball-bear-
ing pneumatic sulky, and was
driven by Mr.. Horner, one of his
owners.
Fifth race - Kalakaua cup, S75
added. One mile dash for Hawaiian
bred horses owned by members of
the club. Cup to become the property
of the one winning it twice. Won by
w. H. Cornwell in 1887 with Poni
Moi, by Z. r. Miles in 1888 with
Wonder, by Z. S. Spalding in 1890
with Wilhelmine, by John A. Cum
Minis in 1891 with Yum Yum, and by
H. Focke in 1892 with Senator STAN
ford. Entries: Amorino, by Robert
Ballantine Leilehua, by w. H.
Richard; and Billy c, by w. II.
Cornwell.
The result of this race proved
somewhat of a surprise to a great
many people - especially those
who backed Amorino for winner.
After several unsuccessful attempts
a start was made, Billy c getting
the best of it by several feet. The
rider on Amorino did not seem to
hear the word go" which had to
be yelled to him by the spectators.
This delay gave the other horses a
long distance ahead. When Amo-
rino did get started, however, he
soon managed to fill up the
intervening gap and made a
desperate but unsuccessful at
tempt to win the race. This race
would undoubtedly have fallen to
Leilehua had not,something caused
her to bolt the track from the
three-quarter pole. Billy C. won
the race in 1 :53 So. The Kala-
kaua cup thus becomes the prop
