The Hawaiian gazette. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1865-1918, 1893-07-11

how we celebrated the GLORIOUS
on Maui, and we know that every
body here will expect the ADvER-
TIsER and GAZETTE to contain a
full account of the event. Apology
further than this is, therefore, un-
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
comingl" = 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
we thought all the Honolulu
boys had suddenly dropped in
upon us, as it were, and-well, we
all felt quite Hurried, and that's
the truth.
1 Just put on my new bonnet and
went right along, with lot of
others, to the park, and, my gra-
cious the first politician l 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, l don't know how long 1
might 90 on a describing of the
boys and girls at the Maui races,
if somebody had not said, Why,
them Is the judges"
l looked md sure enough there
was Mckay nd Hopke md Plemer

Won Tempsky, which you've seen
in the Legislature and the other fell
low is Lyons-you know Lyons !"
Sure enough there was Lyons,
md DIR. Herbert md Ed. Kruger,
md George Hons. md a 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 Ter 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 running
one fer half mile free ter all able
to keep up. Oregon Boy took the
first heat in "a 175; the second heat
going to Kapiolani gal in 81,
Goodness, how that Kapiolani gal
did go, md won the run off in .584
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
$500, and put up by the Hawaiian
Commercial & Sugar Co. Billy
CornwelIs Waikapu Maid took
both heats in 3 rs each. Not very
fast, but enough to knock out
Hopke's Central, nd both were
royalist horses, anyway. There now
The fourth race was fer only $50

there were three starters, Black
Diamond, Ivanhoe, Jr., and Leile,

The fifth race was short, but
sweet. 1t was running halt-mlie
dash for the Kula purse of $50, fol
ponies of IA hands or under, to
carry 100 pounds. Billy Cornwell's
Little One, Dave Center's Little
