but don't often see; a case of the fox
going to sleep and the turtle getting
in victorious work. Henry Giles was
the scratch man, Ruby Dexter had
10-yard handicap, Kalanianaole, At
kinson and George Angus were on the
from the 60-yard mark. At the pistol
shot Chapman sailed away at his best
speed. The other riders punched 1t
the first turn and it was then q ques-
ton of who of them should start out
to set the pace. Meanwhile Chap
man was increasing his lead till at
the half mile post he had an advan-
tage of fully 200 yards. Back in the
bunch it was q clear case Of loaf. FL
nally Cupid set out and increased the
speed little down the back stretch.
Swinging past the half pole he was
close followed by Giles, Dexter and
opening for the final squirt. Chap
man was by this time well into the
home stretch, sitting upon his wheel
swinging his arms. 1t was his race
without q struggle. The contest was
| for second place. Atkinson first
broke from the bunch. Giles follow
ed, then Dexter. There was no loaf
ing now. Every back was bent with
a will and every sinew strained to its
| utmost capacity. Cupid and Angus
were soon out of it. Down the stretch
it was now Giles, now Atkinson In
the lead; hot fight till the tape was
crossed. Atkinson took second place,
with Giles less than half length be-
hind. Ruby Dexter finished close to
Giles rear wheel. Cupid and Angus
after the first squirt gave up the fight.
Chapman's time, 3:011; Atkinson's
2:574.
The boys race made lots of enthusi
asm. The starters were A. Giles and
B. Cartwright. Until the boys noun
ted their wheels one would pick
Cartwright as winner. Once on his
wheel, however, Giles, who appears
to weigh little more than his wheel,
shows the action and steady seat that
presages speed. They were off at the
pistol shot with no loafing or jockey
ing. Giles led and held Cartwright
just about as he had mind to. The
boy was too sure of his ground. Conn
ing down the stretch be held about
half wheel in lead, looking around
at Cartwright .2Here the latter caught
him, worked squirt similar to Harry
Tyler's "jump" and the wheels touch
ed the tape at the same instant. Lat
er Ewhen the race was run over
Giles kept on pumping till the race
was finished and was an easy winner.
Time, 1:4S4.
The quarter mile open scratch race
was struggle between Dexter and
Cupid. The field was well punched
to the last and the places won by a
small margin. Dexter won, with Gu
Chapman fourth. Time, .364.
The one mile three minute
class handicap was the fastest
record race in Kapiolani park.
Atkinson was the scratch man. Hal
stead had twenty-five yards and
Thompson forty-five. Halstead set a
fast pace at the outset and although
the men were punched before reach
ing the second turn, the pace was kept
up. Atkinson held to Halstead's
wheel to the three-quarter pole, where
he spurted and finished an easy win
ner. Time-2:50l.
conjecture to the spectators. Giles
was set for a probable winner, also
Atkinson, who, however, had the dis
advantage of having done lots of hard
work previously. Dexter, with his
light wheel, was also set for pro obable
winner. Chapman, Atkinson, Dex-
ter, George Angus and Giles were the
men lined up. Chapman and Angus
set the pace for the first two miles,
Dexter bringing up the rear. On the
the first OF the last mile Giles went to
the front and Chapman dropped be-
hind. As the men passed the tape for
the third mile, Giles led, with Angus,
Atkinson, Dexter and Chapman fol-
lowing in the order named. On the
last quarter Atkinson first broke from
the bunch, taking the pole; Dexter
followed on the outside. 1t was nip
and tuck between Dexter, Atkinson
and Giles, and the crowd hOwled as
Ruby Dexter forged ahead and won by
half length; Atkinson, second; Giles,
third, and Angus, fourth.
