September I'd, some information
touching the number of horses
likely to participate in that event
should be opportune at this time.
Through the courtesy of the Club
stables, and seated behind one OF
the elegant teams,-for which
this stable has such an enviable
reputation-a representative OF
this paper was enabled to
pay visit to the different racing
stables, in order that an insight
might be given as to the result of
the coming meet.
The stables at the track was the
first place visited, where two we'll
known racers were seen. One of
these was an iron grey mare, be-
longing to Mr.. John Wright. This
mare is being worked for the
3-minute trotting and pacing race.
This race is described as No. 2 on
the program, being mile heats, best
2 in 3 to harness, for Hawaiian
bred horses, for a purse of $50. In
an adjoining stall was seen beau
tifully formed black pacing mare,
the property of Mr.. Thos. Hol-
linger. This animal will prob
ably be entered in the free-for-all
race, and as no one seems to know
just what speed she can develop,
her career will be noted with in
terest on race day by her many adj
mirers. This is the mare that was de-
feated by Johnnie Hayward two
years ago. She is at present in
the pink of condition, which is due
to the faithful attendance of her
trainer.
Mr.. w. III. CornwelPs stables
were next visited, where were seen
five fine racers, all in the best of
condition, due to the careful super
vision of Messrs. G. M. Slocum and
M. l.. Decker, who have charge of the
running and trotting mounts of the
stable. These consist of the grey
gelding Johnnie Hayward, the
well known trotter; brown pacing
mare Waikapu Maid brown trot-
ting gelding Central grey running
pony Billy c., the pride and favor:
tie of the stable; the famous
stallion racer Lord Brock, and a
small brown running mare, the
property of Mr.. G. w. Macfarlane.
Mr.. Cornwall will probably enter
Johnnie Hay ward in the free-for-all
trot and pace; Waikapu Maid in
Hawaiian bred trot and pace and
3-minute class; Central in Ha-
waiian bred trot and pace. Billy G
will contest the mile dash for the
Kalakaua cup against Senator
Stanford, Amorino, Queen l. and
Leileihua. Lord Brock is already
matched to run a mile race against
Duke Spencer for a wager of $500
a side. The little brown mare be-
longing to Mr.. Macfarlane will be
started in some race on the pro-
gram or in some scratch race.
Passing on to the Lahaina stables,
owned by Messrs. Horner and Bal
lentyne. Here were seen the fol-
lowing racing animals:
Hawaiian bred running black
mare Queen l.. She will be entered
in the mile dash for Hawaiian bred
horses. She is in good condition,
and much is expected of her in
this race.
Bay PAGER Aupuni, who will be
entered in the 3-minute trot and
pace. Aupuni is large, we'll bred
animal, and is a half brother of
Flying Jib, who has a record of
2:054.
Brown trotting gelding Lot Slo-
cum, who will be entered in the
free-for-all trot and pace. This
animal is in splendid condition
and will force the limit of the other
horses in this race. He is by the
great Electioneer, whose colts sell
dom go below the 2:30 class, and
is well known both in this country
and in the United States.
Bay young running stallion
Amorino, recently purchased by
Mr.. Horner for $1,000 from Col.
Spaulding. Amarino will be en-
tered in the mile dash for Hawai-
ian bred horses for the Kalakaua
cup. He does not appear to be in
the best of condition, owing to a
slight attack of influenza His
owners, however, feel sure of his
making a good show in the race.
Messrs. Horner and Ballentyne
have a new ball-bearing pneumatic
salky. which viii be used by their
horses during the races.
At the Greenfield stables, owned
10y Mr. ". II. Richard, were seen
