Between 500 and 600 people gather
ed at the park track yesterday te
witness the races. The afternoon was
sweltering hot, but no rain fell,
though quite number of showers
were in evidence in town. The track
was in splendid condition, except at
the quarter and back stretch. The
day was greatly enjoyed by all, the
events interesting, q marked feature
being no long waits between the con-
tests.
Promptly at l p. m. the program
was begun with . mile handicap
bicycle race, in which there were thir-
teen starters. The race was tame
until near the finish, being between
George Angus and Ruby Dexter.
Angus won in 2:29, with Dexter
only a few inches behind. The
winner spurted near the wire
and took the race. Dexter was
not at his best, only recently
recovered from q severe illness and
had only a weeks practice. T. ".
King fell coming into the stretch.
The second event, half mile handi-
cap for Juveniles, was won easily by
Fred Iaukea in 1:2lA.
The five mile bicycle race was dis
tinctly between Henry Giles, George
Angus and d. g. Sylvester, though
there were seven starters. After the
first lap two fell out, leaving Giles,
Angus, Sylvester, Dexter and John

ter, Dexter and Johnson in like order.
T. y. King entered a protest, claim
ing that Giles rouled him by cutting
across the course. The protest was

before the start. Time, first heat, SO /.
Rainbow second. Billy G. took the
second heat without much difficulty.
The three-minute class, trOtting
and pacing, was the race of the m set-
ing. There were four starters-Judah
and Salvador having previously met
in q matched contest. In this event
Judah showed her superiority over
Salvador and the other entries so
decidedly as to give her the race
without exhibiting the least distress.
When driven in the match race Judah
could not be controlled, and broke
several times. Since that time the
mare has been worked with hobbies.
She paced the mile without kip
and won the first heat very easily
in 2:414, shutting out Unknown and
breaking the Hawaiian record of 2 AZ
made by Macfarlane's Fred Mac two
years ago last 11th of June. In the
second and final heat Judah lowered
her own record to :404 She worked
beautifully and paced the mile with
out q single skip or break. Salvador
was clearly outmatcbed and could not
have won the race under any circum-
stances. Up to a few weeks ago Judah
was used as q hack horse by heI
owner George Patterson. she now
holds the record for Hawaiian bred
horses.
