HORSES IN rKAINI>G AT TRACK,
Meeting of Jockey Club to be Held
in ApriI-Number OF Applications
for MembershIp-Traek Now Being
Put in First Glass Order.

Preparations have already begun for
the race meet to be held on the 11th
of June, and it would seem from indi-
cations that the coming races will be
the most interesting held for many
years. Horsemen are looking forward
to the event with more than the usual
amount of interest, and there seems to
be desire on the part of the manage
ment of the Jockey Club to do its
share toward making the occasion an
exciting one.
Secretary Giffard, who is the right
man in the right place, and who takes
lively interest in the sport of racing,
has promised to have the track put in
first class condition and many much
needed improvements made at the
grounds, work on which will likely
commence during the present week.
A canvass shows there is likely to be
some twenty-five entries for the June
races-at least there are that many
available horses owned by gentlemen
who are partial to racing as an un-
rivalled sport.
The Jockey Club should arrange this
years programme with more liberality
than has marked the past meetings,
and under no circumstances should
family races be made or allowed. This
one thing has done more to deterior-
ate interest and participation in racing
in Honolulu than all else combined.
Purses commensurate with the differ
IL l. -
order that PERSONS owning horses
would have something worthy of
competing for, and making it an OBJ
iect to go to the expense OF training,
which, in many Instances, is more
costly than the general public has
any idea OF.
Several horses are now at the park
| track and being put in condition for
| the coming races, among them being
the black stallion Creole tpacer), ~
stallion Daylight (trotter), bay
gelding Bert Lee (pacer), and a
| promising and handsome chestnut
sorrel filly ttrOtter).
The Jockey Club will hold a meet
| ing early in April, at which number
of applications for membership will be
presented. 1t Is hoped the lntroduc-
| tiOn of new blood into the club will be
| the means of giving racing decided

| different races.
| There are more horses owned in
| Honolulu and on this island which are
! fast enough to enter the olneTent
events than ever before, and 1t re-
mains with their owners whether they
| will enter them for the June meet. OF
| the number may be mentioned Fred

Little Johnny.

SiIkey, Aupuui and AmarinO will
likely come from Maui. Spaling's
Keaiia ranch, Kauai, has five running
horses, among them neing full sister
to AmarinO. 1t is thought these and
q number of others will enter, which,
together with the Honolulu horses,
ought to make some exciting events
