The Hawaiian Jockey Club in
itself occupies a position both
unique and extraordinary, being
the only organization of its kind in
the known world that fails to pro-
vide proper accommodation for
representatives of the press and
compels them to pay admission
fees. So far as the ADVERTISER is
concerned, the only courtesy ex-
tended its representative was the
presentation of q written card
which gave admission to the grand
stand, after admission charged at
the gate, and accorded the privilege
of sitting on a board seat together
with other spectators. A repre-
sentative of one of the afternoon
papers refused to accept this won
derful privilege and preferred to
take up standing position in the
grounds.
From all reports the jockey club
has never been a successful or
popular organization. This is said
to be on account of the exclusive
manner in which it has been con-
Quoted. Its officers are well known |
and prominent business men and |
well versed in business methods, |
but when it comes to racing mat |
ters, that is different proposition
altogether.
1t is also claimed that the very
persons who are capable of max
ing such a club both profitable and
popular have been refused member
ship simply because they are guilty
of knowing something about racing
matters. These opinions are cited,
not to criticize unjustly, but to call
public attention to matters that
have a public Importance.
If the opinions and expressions
of the spectators and those capa-
bic of making them count for any
thing, then there were some of the
rankest rulings and starts made
last Saturday that were ever made
On any race track in the world.
4 considerable number of those
in horse racing that we're
present Saturday made use of the
that if the club could
zee its way clear to spend less
money on refreshments and increase
he purses the meetings could be
made more attractive.
During the latter part of the
afternoon a scrimmage occurred in
he Jockey Club stand between
. well known horseman and a
popular local parsonage regarding
