circuit in almost & dead run. This
running on the part of the Maid
forced the psce for Fred Mac, and
he trotted the mile in the extra
ordinary fast time of 2;47 and was
declared The winner of the second
race.
Some admiring friends placed s
beautiful floral emblem, made in
the design of horseshoe, around
the neck of the horse Fred Mac.
While in this race Macfsrlsne's
horse was driven to beat the record
for Hswaiian bred horses for s
mile, snd which he was sue
cessful in accomplishing, the
horse is now barred from the
S-minute class, and will be COM
PEELED 10 seek faster company.
Fred Mac is considered one of the
best young Hawaiian horses in the
country, and will probably be sble
to show much additional speed.

ThirJ race-Match race, $500 side.
Running race; ! mile dash between
Duke Spencer, owned by W. II.
Richard, and Lord Brock, owned by
W. II. Cornwell.
This event was easily the most
interesting of the meeting, and
large amount of money was wagered
on the result. 1t being & mstch
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 sill il was worth.
In the first sttempt for start,
Morton, the jockey on Duke
Spencer, lost control Of his horse
on account of the effects of q sore
hand. and the horse went almost
halfway around the track before
he could be gotten under control.
In the second attempt, however,
fairly good start was obtained
(being slightly in favor of Lord
Brock )-and the great race began.
It was 3 great race in every sense of
the word. Both horses kept pretty
well 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 l 40 3-5. The winning
horse was ridden by Slocum, the
well-known California jockey, and
the loser by Morton, who bears
reputation as being a very skillful
rider. 1t must be understood that
Morton was in no condition to ride
q race, especially the one he at
tempted. He had been suffering
for several days with a 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 Beighing-in room, where he
was soon brought around again,
though suffering intense pain. Lat
er it was learned that Morton lost |
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 of his horse. Had the ac-
cident not happened him the race
might have ended differently.

This event did not arouse much
it being generally under
stood that Lot Slocum would be
an easy winner. He proved so,
winning three straight heats in
2 :3S, 2:34 1-5 aud 2:30 %. The
horse was attached to a ball-bear-
ng pneumatic sulky, and was
