Races on the 18th Promise to
be Very Exciting.
THE EVENTS ARE NOT TO DRAG,
Jim Quinn Talks About the Horses and
their Chances of Winning-Lucky
Man to Pick the Winners-Race
Between the Marine Colts, Etc.

The horse races to take place on the
18th promise to be as exciting as any as
have ever taken place In Honolulu.
Unlike some others in the past, these
will be entirely on their merits and
without fixing" on the part of owners
or drivers. The race the other day be-
tween Schnman's mare and Clarence
Macfarlane's horse was forerunner or
the events of Friday.
In each event there will be horses
that have done we'll and are in excel
lent condition at present. James
Quinn. the owner of $780, can give
pedigrees and records sufficient to
please the most enthusiastic breeder OF
horse flesh.
There's no use talking" he said
yesterday, "the people of Honolulu Will
have an opportunity next Friday to see
genuine horse-racing; there will be no
pooling of issues, no 'hoss an boss
business, just dead square racing.
Winners? they're all winners, and it
is a lucky man who can do the picking
out and do it successfully. 1t reminds
me a good deal of the races we used to
have with Indian ponies when L was
freighting down in Arizona. Phew!
horse down there had to win. 1 don't
believe there will be race on Friday
that will not be as square as die.
I'm the running race, one-half mile
and repeat, it will be toss between
Billy c. and Emmin Bey, though
Crabbe has some good stock on the
track. He will have better show,
perhaps, in the mile race than in the
other.
What stock has he? Varied, sir,
varied The old gentleman has had
his eyes open on whatever stock has
been offered for sale. Some of John
Cummins' string now form part OF
Mr. Crabbe's belongings. 1 believe he
has one or two of Holt's horses as
we'll"
What do you think will be the out
| come of the race between the Marine
colts?"
! Its hard to say. In my opinion
Schuman's mare is the better of the
two, but the trouble is to get her to
score. In the last race, and no one
questions the statement that it was for
blood, the mare was much the speedier,
but could not be controlled. She is
one of the best animals on the track,
but Is witch at scoring; that's what
beat her before. They have her hob
bled now so she cannot break, but the
animal is hard to hold. Neither one OF
those animals may win the race, be-
cause Tom Hollinger has mare on the
track that may prove dark one. He
is doing his own training and may win
while the other two drivers are watch
ing each other"
Mr.. Quinn is more deeply interested
In the 2:40 race than any Of the others,
because his special pride, 29O, is
entered in that event. People who can
| tell the difference between cob and an
Arabian, or who study horses at all,
say Quinn has as good horse as there
is in the city; but his owner is modest
and is willing to give others the credit
for having something better. There's
two chances" he said. Charlie Dav-
ids mare, Lottie L., and Gibson s
Twenty Cents are good things to
watch. My horse would have been a
possible winner, but. he went lame and
! cannot win; he needs work. but there
is no time for it now. He is in good
! condition and has made good time in
working The mares in this class have
made quarters in Al and AZ, and the
chances are the race will be won by
either Gibson's Twenty Cents or Dav-
