was the usual Fourth of July hurry
and scurry, din and hustle marking
the arrival and departure of the many
spectators bent upon viewing the
ninth annual meeting of the Maui
Racing Association. 1t is, however,
noteworthy that the raising Of the
price of admission to Spreckels' Park
from quarter to half a dollar was not
beneficial to the treasury of the asso-

ment. Nevertheless, many natives

most enjoyable gatherings ever given
and everybody took pleasure in pro
menading through the beautiful
grounds of Sunnyside. The colors of
| Hawaiian, British and American
| bunting fluttering amid the green
foliage, a tent or japanese umbrella,
or canopied seat placed here and there
on the green slope, all lent festive
aspect to this Fourth of July celebra-
| ton. Nessrs. d. G.. Lindsay and G..

| At $3.50 o'clock on the morning of

mill was burned to the ground; moth
