clared by the Southern Railway and

NOTES ON THE RACES.

Mr.. Cornwell Gentlemen,
this is my last year on the track"
With the exception Of the third,
seventh and eleventh races, all of
the INDEPENDENT tips came out
right.
The trees in the Park adjacent
to the track looked at a distance
as il a formidable species of blight
had attacked them. They were
gray with boys, who had as good
a view as any grand stand folks.
j. W. Chapman, who had the
contract to furnish lunch, catered
we'll IN quantity and quality ut
had the poorest service possible
to be made. Some patrons could
not get even a glass of water, or a
cup of coffee, and whole birds
were on the table with nobody to
carve them and no knife to carve
them with. The japanese
walters were all punched at one
end of the middle table, and when
one would answer q call elsewhere
it was seldom be filed the order.
The managers of the Mokuleia
horses laugh very loudly over the
statement that Senator Stanford
did not come up to expectations,
The Senator made the mile in
1:45!, and although Amorino al
this date proved himself faster
the stallion from Mokuleia claims
yet to be the cha mpion horse in
the islands.
The starting was beautiful as
far as the starter is concerned
The judges were as slow as ar
opening of the legislature.
If jockey cannot start his
horse at the right moment the
jockey or the horse should be
withdrawn.
Clarence Macfarlane entered
his horse to save race. Ii
wouldn't be fair to expect his Ha'
waiian bred colt to compete with
the best i'm ported horses. Clar-
ence will be there yet.
Dicky Davis got even with q
few fellows on the track.
Is it true that two jockeys were
fined, and the fine remitted by the
judges3 If SO who gave the judges

only real rival.

tries: Senator Stanford, Moku-
LEILA Stables; Duke Spencer, Club
Stables; Amorino, r. Ballentine;
Lord Brock, w. II. Cornwell.
This race was looked forward to
with as much interest as the sixth,
the entries being the same. 1t
was thought by the wise ones that
Stanford was a stronger slayer
than Amorino, consequently n
sure winner, unless Lord Brock
or Duke Spencer should give a
surprise party.
Stanford came in third, how
ever, after a rattling good race.
Amorino won in 2:12 1.5, with
Lord Brock second.

The Next Meet.

The interest shown in the
races last Tuesday have had
the effect of making another
meeting possible for the 4th of
July. With all due respect to
Maui, there is very little en-
couragement for horse owners
to take risks and chances in
sending horses to Kahului.
Several good trotting races
have already been arranged
for that day. If we are correct
ly informed the Mokuleia
horses, Cornwell's horses, Hal
stead's and Ballentine's stables
will remain in Honolulu and in
training. If the Jockey Club
could wake up and be truly
popular, it may hold races
auspiciously. The 4th of July
is now the national holiday of
the republic. 1t is the day of
the Americans here, and sure
ly half a day could be devoted
to the noblest of all sports
the racing of horses.
The races on the 18th were
as fine as could be wished for.
Many of those who dropped
their money because they did
MT listen to the INDEPENDENT
tips desire another meeting.
Let them have one on the 4th,
and make it short and sweet.
1t will be too long for some of
them and don't you forget it.

An Excellent Instructor.

Company d. held a meeting
last evening, and the members
were loud in complimenting COL
onel Mclean, who was present
and who took especial delight in
commanding the boys. The Col
onel has worked ardently for the
last few days, and he is gaining
the support and admiration of the
INDEPENDENT. If he keeps on as
he has started he will be an Al
chap, and the old royalists will
be there.

came in first with a fine spurt,
Dexter close behind. Time 2;38.
