CELEBRATES TIE FOURTH ON
MAUI.
How She Went TO the Races and
Dropped Her Money.

| hAHCLUl, MAUI, July 4, 1910
Of course Honolulu expects to hear
how we celebrated the GLORIOUS F"
on Maui, and we know that every
body here will expect the ADvER-
User and GAZETTE to contain a
full account of the event. Apology
| further than this is, therefore, I'M
necessary, and, like the true news
paper women, | will begin at the
beginning.
1 was not out Of bed yet when
somebody said under my window
in a tone of voice that could be
heard at Paia, "The Likelike's
a coming!" and so she was.
Bright and early she had poked
her nose over the rim Of the sea
and was upon US almost before the
breakfast things were cleared away.
And then the passengers-O, my I!
we thought all the Honolulu
boys had suddenly dropped in
upon us, as it were, and-well, we
all felt quite furried, and that's
the truth.
/ just put on my new bonnet and
went right along, with lot of
others, to the park, and, my gra-
cious the first politician [ saw
was Claus Spreckels looking sorter
out of sorts after his late Honolulu
experience. ND there was Billy
Cornwell md Sam Parker md all
the rest of the royalists lookin' as
poor as crows and ready for a
horse-race or most any other ven
ture that might pan out better n
politics.
Well, I don't know how long 1
might go on a describing of the
boys and girls at the Maui races,
if somebody had not said, " Why,
them s the judges"
1 looked md sure enough there
was Mckay md Hopke md Plemer
just as large as life md chock full
of Importance too-you've all seen
the like. eyes, them's the start
ers," says my Teller; "that' un's
Won Tempsky, which you've seen
in the legislature and the other fell
low is Lyons-you know Lyons p
Sure enough there was Lyons,
md DR.. Herbert md Ed. Kruger,
md George Hons. md lot Of other
fellers keepin' run of the thing, all
lookin' putty as could be in their
Sunday clothes. The Honolulu
boys didn't seem to be in it fer a
cent except-O, well, 1 won't men
ton names anyway it amt per-
lite.
The first race was for the Spreck-
elsville purse of $50, half mile
dash for Hawaiian horses. Win
field, Ivanhoe, jr. md Leilehua,
started but the blamed judges call
ed the whole race off, md my
wasn't everybody mad, especially
all of US FER Maui girls who had a
cent or two up, md we didn't even
look when a run off was ordered
between Leilehua md Ivanhoe, jr.
The time was 81 but we girls
never looked-somebody said that
was what they marked up.
Their second race was a running
one fer half a mile free ter all able
to keep up. Oregon Boy took the
first heat in "a 10; the second heat
going to Kapiolani gal in ST.
Goodness, how that Kapiolani gal
did 60, md won the run off in $50.
Oregon Boy baked twice. All the
gals said they ought to charge his
name to n. Csc they ought.
The third race was for a purse of
800, and put up by the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Co. Billy
CornwelPs Waikapu Maid took
both heats in 3 :25 each. Not very
fast, but enough to knock out
Hopke's Central, md both were
royalist horses, anyway. There now.
The fourth race was fer only $75,
yclept the Waikapu purse, in which
there were three starters, Black
Diamond, Ivanhoe, Jr., and Leile-
hui-the latter winning in 1 :244.
The fifth race was short, but
sweet. 1t was running half-mile
dash for the Kula purse of $50, for
ponies of IA hands or under, to
carry 100 pounds. Billy Cornwell's
Little One, Dave Center's Little
Dave, md Flash md Wang Wang,
all started fer the stretch; nd Lit
tie One got there by 'er nose in
553, nd all US gals smiled twice
nd pulled in our bets lively on
Billy's tip-O, there if L amt a
giving him away!
The sixth race didn't interest we
gals much, for everybody said be-
that Billy CornwelTs
Lord Brock 'ud take the 1926 just
ike glass of beer, nd so he did,
in 1 80, without winkin'.
But when the next race was
called we pinched each other md
became wide awake at once ''Trot-
i'm md pacin'," says my Teller, "for
l cool $175; free ter all with 'er
,ecord of 2:3O er better" Nd
would Won believe IL T inst lost all |
