INNOVATION FOR HONOLULU
Will Have a Race Track
in Near Future.
Harry Walker Starts the Ball Roll
ling Rapidly-Grandstand, Train
ing Rooms, Etc.

A bicycle track is now an assured
thing, and inside of three months the
wheelmen may expect to see one of
their greatest desires fulfilled. When
the Kewalo track proved a failure
they gave up hopes for while until
with him set on foot scheme to OBJ
tain lot near town for reasonable
rental and to build upon it wooden
track. The plans were carefully stud
led out, and yesterday a subscription
list was circulated with result of
about 100 shares at S. share prom
ised This, then, has caused the wheel
men to smile again.
Honolulu has long been in want of q
bicycle race track, but up to the pres
ent time all efforts to have one erected
have failed. Being interested in the
business. and knowing that race
track will greatly increase the sport,
Mr.. H. E Walker has taken the thing
in hand, and, with the support of the
doubtedly make a success of it. The
new track is TO be situated in suit
able piece of ground very close TO the
city A suitable lot for the track has
already been secured at moderate
rental. The dimensions of the new
track will be one-siXth of mile in eX
tent and Is feet wide, with the excep-
ton of the home stretch, which will
be 20 feet 1t will be banked on the
turns to the height of 6 feet and on
the straights from ~ to feet. There
is no question as to the safety or speed
of a track of the above dimensions, as
they have already proved to be one of
the fastest and safest tracks made
The material for the construction of
the track will be wood, as it is by far
the cheapest, and by all accounts has
proved to be the most suitable ma
terial for track building.
The track will be fenced in with
boards some eight feet high For pro-
lection from the weather, the track
will be given several coats of oil and
then painted.
Besides the track, there will be a
grandstand capable of seating at least
300 TO 400 people, and the platform,
which will hold some 500. Connecting
with the stand there will be suitable
dressing and training rooms, fitted
with showers and other conveniences.
The contract for building of the
track will be awarded to Charles D..
Walker. who will guarantee first
class job. The track will be composed
mostly of curves and angles, and will
necessitate considerable skill in build
ing.
The price of the track, completed,
with grand stand and other things,
will be s.. 200 in shares of So each.
Every racing man in town has
bought stock, so that in case there is
an opposition on any side, it will hard
ly prove a success The business men
will come in very soon. Over 81 900 in
stock is expected of them.
The track is to be fitted up in fine
style Electric lights will be put in
places, necessary to night racing, and
a great many cohveniences will be sup
piled.
Letters have been received from
Harry and Bob Terril and other fast
riders on the Coast, saying that, as
soon as the track is finished they will
come down with their racing wheels
for contests and exhibitions.
