What might be called a satisfaction
race with absolutely no consolation
came off at KapioIani Park yesterday
afternoon between Humberg's gray
horse, Billy Button, and Schumann's
bay mare, Judah.
Button had won the race in which
Judah took part on June 18th, and the
friends and hackers believed that under
different conditions the mare could win
A match was arranged to take place
Wednesday, and upwards of 800 people
were at the grounds a half hour before
the bell struck calling the horses from
the stable.
Judah was the first on the track, with
Bagsley in the seat. and she made
fine appearance, showing every indica-
tions that she was fit to race for her
life. Bagsley made one score and took
her twice around the track without
break
Billy Button, driven by Gibson, came
on afterward and logged once around.
Time was called and the horses came
to the wire in bad shape, Button hang
ing back four lengths. A second at
tempt reversed their positions, and
Captain Cluney cautioned the drivers
to keep we'll together.
There were three attempts to score
without success, when the rumor went
around that Gibson wanted to tire out
Judah.
They Got an Even Start.
On the fourth start the racers came
to the scratch and passed under the
wire their noses almost touching. Cap
tain Cluney shouted "Go!" and the
horses kept on, judah taking the lead
and keeping from four to seven lengths
ahead. The quarter was reached in:34.
If Button was cutting down the gap it
was hard to notice it. The half was
passed in 1:1O. Then Gibson began to
drive, and half way to the three-quar-
tiers the gray was sticking his nose be-
yond Bagley's seat. At the head of the
stretch Judah's driver touched the mare
with the whip and she left the ground
at a jump and did not come together
until Button took the lead and kept it
to the wire, beating Judah almost a
length and winning the heat in 1928.

satisfaction, as though he had done.
good thing for Buttons owner.
There was not much enthusiasm at
the result of the heat, and Judah's back
ers attributed the defeat to the break
made after passing the last quarter.
The half dozen mounted patrolmen,
armed with handouts, who had gone
out to intimidate the sports by a show
of implements for quelling disorderly
betters, found there was as much use
for their services as there would have
been at a children's picnic. What bet
ting was done was on the quiet and

him together again. Judah passed him

and the half at lila and kept the lead
half way to the three-quarters, when
Judah passed him, and the spectators
mentally calculated on the result. Just
after the three-quarters Button forged
ahead and won the heat in 2:26.
It was the consensus of opinion on
the quarter stretch and in the grand
stand after this heat that Judah was in
good condition to win the next heat.
Indications pointed that way and an
adjournment was taken to the stables,

opinions. and incidentally some coin.
